As you would expect, we monitor visits to our website, principally so that we can make sure that it is easy to navigate, identify the areas that are of particular interest to visitors and generally improve the site and our services. The information that we collect in this process will not identify you as an individual, however - we do not seek to identify individual visitors unless they volunteer their contact details through one of the forms on the site. In some circumstances our records will identify organisations visiting our site and we may use that information in managing our relationship with those organisations - for example, in considering how to develop the services that we offer them.

In common with most websites, our site uses cookies - small data files which are downloaded to your computer so that we can recognise that your computer has visited the site before. We do not use cookies to identify you, just to improve your experience of the site - for example, by allowing the site to remember your bookmarks and language preference. You can if you wish set your Internet browser so that it will not automatically download cookies - this will not prevent you from using our site. The exact steps necessary to block cookies vary from browser to browser. They are generally explained in the "Help" section of the browser.

Various forms on our site invite you to submit your contact details and other information about yourself or your organisation, or to send us emails which will, of course, also identify you. In each case, the purpose for which you are invited to give us information is clear. If we propose to use your details to send you information from Judge & Priestley LLP about events or legal developments which we believe may be of interest to you (other than information that you have specifically requested), we give you an opportunity to tell us that you do not wish to receive such information by sending an email to "info@judge-priestley.co.uk" or by post at Justin House, 6 West Street, Bromley, Kent, BR1 1JN, England. We will not use your information for purposes that are not clear when you provide your details, and will not disclose it outside Judge & Priestley LLP, except in very limited circumstances - for example, with your agreement or where we are legally obliged to do so.

You agree that we may use personal information provided by you in order to conduct appropriate anti fraud checks. Personal Information that you provide may be disclosed to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, which may keep a record of that information

To ensure that your credit, debit or charge card is not being used without your consent, we will validate name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. In performing these checks personal information provided by you may be disclosed to a registered Credit Reference Agency which may keep a record of that information. You can rest assured that this is done only to confirm your identity, that a credit check is not performed and that your credit rating will be unaffected. All information provided by you will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

You agree to indemnify us if you do not have consent to disclose to us information about a third party or if the information you have supplied is incorrect.

From time to time we are required under various regulations to have our accounts and our files audited or inspected, which may involve your affairs being inspected by someone from outside this firm (e.g. an accountant or representative of the Law Society) and therefore by instructing our firm you agree that any such audit or inspection is not regarded as a breach of confidentiality and is with your consent.

Please be aware that we may not be able to keep certain information about you confidential as we may have to disclose certain details under legislation current from time to time
