Who we are
solicitors-glasgow.co.uk is an independent online directory of solicitors in Glasgow. We are not a law firm. When this policy refers to "we", "us" or "the site", it means the operators of solicitors-glasgow.co.uk.
What information we collect
We collect the minimum information necessary to operate the directory. This includes:
- Contact form submissions — if you use our contact form to suggest a firm or report an inaccuracy, we collect your name, email address and the message you send.
- Analytics data — we may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as aggregate page view counts) to understand how the site is used. If we use cookies for analytics, we will ask for your consent before setting them.
- Technical data — standard server logs may record your IP address, browser type, referring page and the time of your visit. This data is used for security and technical purposes and is not used to identify you personally.
We do not collect your name, email address or any other personal information simply by browsing the site. We do not ask you to create an account or log in.
How we use your information
Information submitted through the contact form is used only to respond to your enquiry — to correct inaccuracies, consider firm suggestions, or answer questions about the directory. We do not use contact form submissions for marketing and we do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. This site may use:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the site to function. These cannot be disabled.
- Analytics cookies — if used, these help us understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. We will ask for your consent before setting these.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies or third-party cookies for profiling. If you prefer not to accept optional cookies, you can decline when prompted or adjust your browser settings.
Sharing your information
We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties, except:
- Where required by law or a regulatory authority;
- With service providers who help us operate the site (for example, a hosting provider), who are bound by confidentiality obligations and may not use your data for their own purposes.
This site links to solicitor firm websites. When you click a link to an external site, you leave our site and their privacy policy applies — we have no control over how external sites handle your data.
How long we keep your data
Contact form submissions are kept only as long as needed to resolve the enquiry, and no longer than 12 months. Technical log data is retained for up to 90 days for security purposes.
Your rights under UK GDPR
If we hold any personal data about you, you have the right to:
- Request access to the data we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate data;
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal requirements);
- Object to processing of your data;
- Request restriction of processing;
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We will respond within one calendar month.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
