Candida Purser Notary Public operates the website www.candidapursernotary.com.

This Website Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how I collect, use and protect personal information when you visit my website or contact me through it.

I am committed to protecting your privacy and handling personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

This policy relates primarily to your use of my website. For further information about how I handle personal data when providing notarial services, please refer to my separate Client Privacy Notice.

Information Collection and Use

When using my website, you may choose to provide personal information through my contact form or by contacting me directly.

This information may include:

• Your name and email address
• Your telephone number
• Whether you are enquiring as a business or private individual
• Details of your enquiry
• Documents or files you choose to upload

I use this information to respond to enquiries, provide information about my notarial services and arrange appointments where requested.

If you need to share sensitive personal or legal documents, please contact me first to discuss an appropriate method of transfer.

Website Usage and Log Data

When you visit my website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website or its hosting provider.

This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit.

This information may be used to maintain website security, identify technical problems and improve the website's performance.

Where website analytics tools are used, additional information about how visitors interact with the website may be collected, subject to applicable privacy and cookie requirements.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function correctly and may also be used to understand how visitors interact with a website.

My website may use the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: Necessary for the website to function properly and securely.
• Analytics cookies: Where enabled, these help me understand how visitors use the website and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Third-party cookies: Certain embedded services, such as interactive maps, may use their own cookies or similar technologies.

Where non-essential cookies are used, visitors will be provided with appropriate choices where required by law.

You can also manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.

How Your Information Is Used

Personal information submitted through my website is used for legitimate business purposes, including responding to enquiries and arranging notarial services.

Depending on the circumstances, the lawful basis for processing your information may include:

• Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract
• My legitimate interests in operating my website and responding to enquiries
• Compliance with legal or professional obligations
• Your consent, where required

I do not use contact form enquiries to send unsolicited marketing communications.

Sharing Your Information

I may share limited personal information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate and maintain my website, including website hosting and email providers.

Personal information may also be processed by third-party services used on the website.

If your enquiry progresses to a notarial matter, further information about the handling and sharing of your personal data is provided in my Client Privacy Notice.

Security of Personal Information

Protecting your personal information is important to me.

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

I therefore recommend contacting me before sending particularly sensitive or confidential documents electronically.

How Long Information Is Kept

Personal information collected through the website will only be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or where retention is required by law.

Where an enquiry leads to the provision of notarial services, additional professional record-keeping requirements may apply. These are explained in my Client Privacy Notice.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under UK data protection law, you have certain rights relating to your personal information, subject to applicable conditions and exemptions.

These may include the right to:

• Request access to personal information held about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to or request restrictions on certain processing activities
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request the transfer of your information in certain circumstances

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the details below.

You also have the right to raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you are concerned about how your personal information has been handled.

Further information is available at www.ico.org.uk.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Website Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legislation, website functionality or how personal information is processed.

Any updates will be published on this page, together with the date of the most recent revision.
