Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy was last updated on 17 August 2026. Please review it carefully. If you have any questions, contact us at contact@legally-empowered.com.
Who We Are
Legally Empowered Ltd ("Legally Empowered", "we", "us" or "our") is a commercial legal consultancy, registered in England and Wales under company number 15777699. We are not a law firm and are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority as a business; our founder, Prabh Singal, is individually a solicitor of England and Wales (SRA No. 660149), regulated in her personal capacity. We provide commercial legal consultancy services to businesses, creatives and individuals across the UK, operating from Essex and London.
This policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect personal information when you visit our website at legally-empowered.com, get in touch with us, or otherwise interact with us. We are the "controller" of the personal data described in this policy for the purposes of UK data protection law.
What Information We Collect
We collect personal information in the following ways:
Information you give us directly — when you complete our contact or consultation request form, or email or call us, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, telephone number, and the details of your enquiry or matter.
Information collected automatically — our website is hosted on Netlify, which may automatically log limited technical information for security and performance purposes (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited) as part of its standard hosting infrastructure. We do not currently use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies on this website. If this changes, this policy — and, where required, a cookie consent mechanism — will be updated accordingly before any such tools go live.
We do not knowingly collect any special category data (such as health information) through the website, and we ask that you do not include sensitive information in enquiry forms unless it is directly relevant to a legal matter you wish to discuss with us.
How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect to:
• respond to your enquiries and requests for a consultation;
• provide, manage and administer our legal consultancy services to clients;
• communicate with you about your matter, including by email, phone or post;
• maintain accurate business and accounting records, including for compliance with our professional and regulatory obligations;
• operate, secure and improve our website; and
• comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering and conflict-of-interest checks where applicable.
We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
• Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, operate our website, and manage our business relationships with clients and prospective clients, in a way that is proportionate and does not override your rights and interests;
• Contract — where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into an engagement with us, or to perform an engagement you have entered into with us;
• Legal obligation — where we are required to process or retain information to comply with our regulatory, tax, accounting or anti-money laundering obligations; and
• Consent — in limited circumstances where we ask for your specific consent, for example if we were to introduce optional marketing communications (which you could withdraw at any time).
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share it, on a need-to-know basis, with:
• trusted service providers who support our business operations, such as our website hosting provider (Netlify) and email and calendar providers, who process data on our behalf under appropriate confidentiality and data protection terms;
• professional advisers, such as accountants or IT support, where necessary for our legitimate business purposes;
• regulatory or law enforcement bodies, courts, or other third parties, where we are required to do so by law or to protect our legal rights; and
• a successor organisation in the event of a sale, merger or restructuring of our business, subject to the same confidentiality protections.
Where any service provider is located outside the UK, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information continues to receive an appropriate level of protection, in line with UK data protection law.
Cookies
Our website does not currently set analytics, advertising or non-essential tracking cookies. Our hosting provider, Netlify, may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies required for the website and our contact form to function correctly and securely — these do not track you for advertising purposes and cannot be switched off, as they are essential to the service.
If we introduce analytics or other non-essential cookies in future, we will update this section and, where required by law, seek your consent via an on-site cookie banner before any such cookies are set.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.
As a general approach: enquiry and contact form submissions that do not proceed to an engagement are retained for a reasonable period to allow us to follow up, after which they are securely deleted; and information relating to client engagements is retained in line with our professional and regulatory record-keeping obligations. Where we are no longer required to retain your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymise it.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
• access the personal information we hold about you;
• request rectification of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request erasure of your information, in certain circumstances;
• request restriction of how we use your information;
• request portability of information you have provided to us, in certain circumstances;
• object to processing based on our legitimate interests; and
• withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent as our legal basis.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@legally-empowered.com. We will respond within one month, as required by law.
Data Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Our website is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and access to systems holding personal information is restricted to those who need it to carry out their role. While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we work to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in our practices, the tools we use, or legal requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
