All our employees and data processors that have access to and are associated with the processing of personal data are obliged to respect the confidentiality of our visitors’ personal data.

We have systems that protect our clients and ourselves against fraud and other crime. We may use your personal information to prevent crime and trace those responsible. We may check your details with fraud prevention agencies. If you give us false or misleading information and we suspect fraud, we will record this. We and other organisations may use and search these records to help us trace and prevent fraud and manage your accounts or check your identity to prevent money laundering.  With regards to money laundering checks we obtain documentation from you but also use a third party who carry out a variety of electronic checks to identify you.

For any enquiry or concern about our privacy policy, or to request access to your personal data please contact our Data Protection Officer at amcculloch@wrightsolicitors.com

Under the General Data Protection Regulation 2018, you are entitled to request a Subject Access Request. We will then have to provide you with a readable copy of the personal data, which we keep about you, within 30 days of receiving your request.  Evidence or proof of your identity (for example, a passport or driver’s license and current utility bill) will be required before any processing of such a request begins.

This Privacy Policy and the use of our website is subject to the law of Scotland.
