Privacy Policy

About this notice

Balaghi & Rose Solicitors Limited is responsible for the personal information it processes in providing its services and operating this website. This notice explains how we use that information. It is a privacy notice, not a request for consent to every use of your data.

Our registered office is 20–22 Wenlock Road, London, N1 7GU. For privacy enquiries, contact info@balaghi-rose.com. Our Information Commissioner’s Office registration reference is ZB630130.

Information we use

Depending on your enquiry or instructions, we may process contact details, identity and verification documents, financial information, correspondence, case papers and information about other people involved in a matter. Information may come from you, your authorised representatives, other parties, professional advisers or public records. Legal matters can involve sensitive information, including health information or criminal allegations and convictions.

Please send only the information needed for your enquiry. We will explain how to provide documents after our initial checks. The separate section below explains how we handle Careers applications.

Purposes and lawful bases

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, check whether we can act, provide agreed legal services, communicate about a matter, manage billing and records, and meet our legal and professional obligations.

Our lawful basis depends on the purpose. It may be necessary to take steps at your request before entering a contract, perform our contract with you, comply with a legal obligation, or pursue legitimate interests such as administering our practice, preventing misuse and establishing or defending legal claims. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the effect on the people concerned.

Sensitive information and information about criminal allegations or convictions require additional legal conditions and safeguards. The applicable conditions depend on the matter and the information involved; we can explain the basis relevant to your circumstances. Where a particular use depends on consent, you can withdraw that consent without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing. Withdrawal does not prevent processing that has another lawful basis.

Who may receive information

Where needed for the relevant purpose, information may be shared with our staff, barristers, experts, other professional advisers, courts, tribunals, regulators, public authorities and parties or representatives involved in a matter. Providers of hosting, email and other business systems may also process information to provide their services. Disclosure is subject to applicable confidentiality duties and legal requirements.

Some providers may process information outside the UK. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, an appropriate transfer mechanism is required; agreement to this notice is not a substitute. Contact us for information about the arrangements relevant to your data.

How long information is kept

Retention depends on the purpose of the record, whether the enquiry or matter is ongoing, applicable legal and professional requirements, and the period for which records may reasonably be needed to deal with complaints or legal claims. We do not keep every category of information for the same period. You may ask us about the retention arrangements applicable to your records.

Your rights and choices

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access and correct your information, request erasure or restriction, receive certain information in a portable format, or object to processing. These rights are not absolute: legal obligations, confidentiality and the need to establish or defend claims may affect what we can provide or delete.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation. You may object to direct marketing at any time. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it. Contact info@balaghi-rose.com to exercise a right or raise a concern. We may need information to verify your identity before responding.

Website services and cookies

Your browser sends technical information, such as your IP address and browser details, to the services that deliver the website. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and the SRA verification badge from Yoshki. Following an email, map or WhatsApp link opens the relevant external service, whose privacy information also applies.

We do not use the website’s own code to set advertising or audience-measurement cookies. Third-party services may use their own storage or receive technical information when their content loads. This notice does not assume that every third-party service is cookie-free. We review changes to the site’s technology and any consent requirements before introducing optional tracking.

London weather display

The Contact page loads a weather widget from weather.uk.app when it approaches your screen. Your browser connects to that provider and may transmit technical information such as your IP address and browser details. The display uses a fixed London location and does not request your device’s location. The provider’s website is https://weather.uk.app/.

Careers applications and expressions of interest

Balaghi & Rose Solicitors Limited is responsible for the personal information submitted through our Careers form. We collect your name, email address, opportunity of interest, CV and any supporting message to consider your expression of interest and communicate with you about it. The form does not make recruitment decisions. Please do not include confidential client information, identity documents, health information or other sensitive details that are not needed at this stage.

We process applications where necessary to take steps at your request before entering an employment or consultancy contract, or for our legitimate interests in assessing expressions of interest, recruiting suitable people and protecting the form against abuse. We do not use the form to sign you up for marketing. Required fields are needed to submit online; you can instead email your application to partnerships@balaghi-rose.com.

The website hosting service processes the submission and SMTP2GO delivers your application and CV to our partnerships mailbox and sends an acknowledgement to the email address you provide. These providers and our email provider process information to deliver their services. The website does not publish CVs or keep copies of CVs in its application database. Limited coded identifiers, submission references and counters are used to prevent duplicate messages and abuse.

SMTP2GO's information about its processing, international service arrangements and email-data retention is available at https://www.smtp2go.com/privacy/.

Recruitment correspondence is retained according to whether an application is still under consideration, the need to handle related communications, and any relevant legal obligations or claims. Contact partnerships@balaghi-rose.com for information about the records held for your application or to withdraw your expression of interest. Withdrawal does not automatically require every record to be deleted where there is another lawful reason to retain it.

Your recruitment-data rights

You may request access to or correction of your personal information, and may request erasure, restriction or portability where the applicable conditions are met. You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation. Send requests to partnerships@balaghi-rose.com. You can also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office at https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/.
