Privacy Policy

Welcome to The Endeavour Partnership LLP’s (“Endeavour”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) privacy policy.

Endeavour respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy is designed to help you understand what Personal Information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with and how we look after it. It also tells you about your privacy rights, how the law protects you and how to contact us or make a complaint. That said, if you have any questions about this privacy policy or any of your data protection/privacy concerns please get in touch with your normal contact at Endeavour or see below (section 1) for our general contact information and that of our data privacy manager.

Endeavour is registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office, which is the UK’s independent body set up to uphold information rights. As a data controller, we are responsible for ensuring that when we process Personal Information we comply with EU and UK data protection law and use it in accordance with our client’s instructions and our professional duty of confidentiality.

This privacy policy may change from time to time. We will usually inform you of changes via our website but may notify you of any key changes in writing.

This privacy policy was last updated on 29 October 2021.

Please use our Glossary (section 10) to understand the meaning of some of the key terms used in this privacy policy.

1.Important information and who we are

Controller / Processor

In respect of some of the Personal Information we hold, we are the data controller and responsible for that Personal Information. We are normally the data controller of Personal Information relating to individuals who are either our client for the relevant Matter or through whom we conduct our relationship with a client (for example, the main contact).

Sometimes, however, a client may be the data controller of certain Personal Information and we act as the data processor (acting on the client’s behalf) in that regard. This will usually be the case in respect of any other Personal Information supplied to us by a client or on its behalf in the course of our relationship with that client. If you have any doubts as to whether we are a data controller or data processor over any particular piece of Personal Information, please contact us to discuss the matter further.

To demonstrate our commitment to protecting your Personal Information we have appointed a data privacy manager who is responsible for overseeing questions in relation to this privacy policy. If you have any questions about this privacy policy, including any requests to exercise your legal rights, please contact the data privacy manager using the details set out below.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your Personal Information, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your Personal Information for our legitimate interests. We do not use your Personal Information for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law).

Marketing

We strive to provide you with choices regarding certain personal data uses, particularly around marketing and advertising.

We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, Usage, Marketing and Communications Data and Profile Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you. This is how we decide which products, services and offers may be relevant for you (we call this marketing).

We may use your Personal Information to send you updates (by email, telephone or post) about legal developments that might be of interest to you and/or information about our services, including new services.

We have a legitimate interest in processing your Personal Information for our business development purposes. This means we do not usually need your consent to send you legal updates and information about our services [if you are an existing client]. However, where consent is needed (for example to send you electronic communications in certain circumstances), we will ask for this consent separately and clearly.

Third-party marketing

We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any company outside of Endeavour for marketing purposes.

Opting out

You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by:

• contacting us (see section 1 above for details of how to contact us); or
• using the ‘unsubscribe’ (or similar opt out) link in our e-mails.

We may ask you to confirm or update your marketing preferences if you instruct us to provide further services in the future, or if there are changes in the law, regulation, or the structure of our business.

Cookies

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our website may become inaccessible or not function properly. For more information about the cookies we use, please see our Cookie Policy on our website.

Change of purpose

We will only use your Personal Information for the purposes for which we collected it unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us.

If we need to use your Personal Information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Please note that we may process your Personal Information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

5.Disclosures of your Personal Information

We may have to share your personal data with third parties (including those parties set out below) for the purposes set out in the table in paragraph 4 above.

• professional advisers who we instruct on your behalf or refer you to, e.g. barristers, medical professionals, accountants, tax advisors or other experts/professionals;
• other third parties where necessary to carry out your instructions or otherwise in connection with a Matter, e.g. HM Land Registry in the case of a property transaction, ACAS in the case of an employment matter, Companies House or your mortgage provider;
• Our IT support and third party service providers may also access your Personal Information as a consequence of them providing support to us. These include, at the date of this policy, Cornerstone Business Solutions Limited and Converge-it net Limited);
• our insurers and insurance brokers;
• our auditors/accountants;
• our bankers;
• external service suppliers, representatives and agents that we use to make our business more efficient, e.g. marketing agencies which include at the date of this policy:
  • Restore and Inbond Limited (providing archiving services);
  • Direct Dictation Services (providing digital dictation services); and
  • The Shred Centre (providing confidential shredding services); and
• third parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal data in the same way as set out in this privacy notice. Where possible, information will be anonymised but the recipient of the information will be bound by confidentiality obligations. If we are acquired, or substantially all of our assets are acquired, by a third party (or are subject to a reorganisation), Personal Information held by us will be one of the assets which are transferred.

We only allow our service providers to handle your Personal Information if we are satisfied they take appropriate measures to protect your Personal Information. We also impose contractual obligations on service providers to ensure they can only use your Personal Information to provide services to us and to you.

We may disclose and exchange information with law enforcement agencies and regulatory bodies to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

We require all third parties to respect the security of your Personal Information and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Personal Information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

6.International transfers

We share your Personal Information within Endeavour. This will not, normally, involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

However, to deliver our services to you it is sometimes necessary for us to share your Personal Information with external third parties, some of who may be based outside the EEA and so their processing of your Personal Information will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.
• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.

Please contact us if you want further information on the specific mechanism used by us when transferring your Personal Information out of the EEA.

7.Data security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

8.Data retention

How long will you use my Personal Information for?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see Request erasure below (section 9) for further information.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

We only keep your Personal Information about a Matter for as long as is necessary to:

• carry out our services for your Matter
• respond to any questions, complaints or claims made by you or on your behalf
• show that we treated you fairly
• keep records required by law to comply with our legal obligations and our duties to our regulator. Anti-money laundering legislation requires us to retain records, documents and information relating to a Matter, including a copy of your identity documentation, for five years from the conclusion of a Matter or when our business relationship with you ends.

For most types of Matters, we retain your matter file, which will include your Personal Information, for up to twelve years from the date of file closure although this may vary depending on the nature of the Matter. Further information about the likely retention period will be provided to you when a Matter concludes.

9.Your legal rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data.

	Request access to your personal data. This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
2.	Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
3.	Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
4.	Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
5.	Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
6.	Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
7.	Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
