The Partners of Southerns are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. This privacy policy explains how we use the information we collect about you, how you can instruct us if you prefer to limit the use of that information and procedures that we have in place to safeguard your privacy.

(i) The information we collect and how we use it

When you send us your details we need to know your name, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number, and brief details of the nature of your enquiry. We may also need to know if you have used our services before.

We gather and may hold this information for the following reasons:

(a) To allow us to process any online requests for information. The relevant information is used by us to find the right person to deal with your enquiry and to communicate with you on any matter relating to the enquiry.

(b) If the information is submitted in connection with a job vacancy, the information will be used in connection with your application to assess your suitability for the position in question.

(c) We may also use aggregate information and statistics for the purposes of monitoring website usage in order to help us develop the website and our services and may provide such aggregate information to third parties. These statistics will not include information that can be used to identify any individual.

(ii) How we protect your information

The internet is not a secure medium and there are no secure fields on this website. However we have put in place various security procedures as set out in this policy. Our computer systems are restricted to authorised users by our Firewall and by the use of passwords both on our computer system and database. In addition, we keep your information confidential. The internal procedures of Southerns cover the storage, access and disclosure of your information. We are also bound by our professional rules of conduct to ensure that any correspondence passing between us is kept confidential.

(iii) Updating your details

If any of the information that you have provided to us changes, for example if you change your e-mail address, name or if you wish to withdraw your enquiry or your application, please let us know the correct details by sending an e-mail to bankparade@southernslaw.info

(iv) Your consent

By submitting your information you consent to the use of that information, as set out in this policy. If we change our privacy policy we will post the changes on this page, and may place notices on other pages of the website, so that you may be aware of the information we collect and how we use it at all times. Continued use of the service will signify that you agree to any such changes.

Owing to the global nature of the Internet infrastructure, the information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside the European Economic Area that do not have similar protections in place regarding your data and its use as set out in this policy. However, we have taken the steps outlined above to try to improve the security of your information. By submitting your information you consent to these transfers.
