If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your personal information is handled, please contact us using the details above.

Naeem’s legal practice and institutional advisory work may also be conducted through or in conjunction with other organisations. Where you are directed to another organisation, including Adelphi Law or KC Resilience Advisory, that organisation’s own privacy policy will apply to information it collects and processes.

What information we collect

The information we process will depend on how you interact with us. It may include:

● your name and contact details;

● job title, organisation or professional information;

● information contained in enquiries or correspondence;

● information provided in connection with a professional or legal enquiry;

● information you provide when subscribing to news or updates.

When you use our website, we may also collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser or device information, pages visited and cookie or analytics information.

Sensitive information

A legal or professional enquiry may sometimes contain more sensitive information, including special category data, such as information about health, racial or ethnic origin, religion or political opinions, or criminal offence data relating to allegations, investigations, convictions or proceedings.

We will only process such information where it is necessary and permitted by data protection law.

Please avoid sending confidential or sensitive information relating to a legal matter through general website contact facilities unless specifically requested.

How we obtain information

We may collect personal information when:

● you contact us through the website, by email or through another communication channel;

● you make a legal or professional enquiry;

● you subscribe to news or updates;

● you attend or participate in an event, meeting or professional engagement involving Naeem;

● another person or organisation contacts us on your behalf;

● you visit or interact with our website.

We may also receive information from professional representatives, organisations arranging an engagement, or other persons involved in an enquiry.

How we use your information

We may use personal information:

● to respond to enquiries and communicate with you;

● to consider and manage professional enquiries;

● to arrange meetings, events and professional engagements;

● to direct legal enquiries to the appropriate professional channel;

● to manage professional relationships and correspondence;

● to administer news and other communications;

● to improve our website and communications;

● to maintain appropriate administrative records;

● to comply with legal or regulatory obligations;

● to protect our legitimate professional and business interests.

Our lawful bases for processing

We only process personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

● legitimate interests, including responding to enquiries, managing professional relationships, maintaining appropriate records and operating and improving the website;

● contract, where processing is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you;

● legal obligation, where processing is necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory duty; or

● consent, where you have agreed to a particular use of your information.

Where we process special category data, we will also identify an appropriate additional condition under data protection law.

Where we process criminal offence data, we will only do so where the additional legal requirements applying to that information are met.

News and marketing communications

If you subscribe to news or updates, we may use your contact details to send you relevant communications about Naeem’s work.

Where consent is required, we will ask for it before sending marketing communications.

You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us.

We will not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Where necessary and lawful, we may share personal information with:

● professional or administrative support providers;

● website, email, newsletter, hosting and IT providers;

● professional advisers, including lawyers, accountants and insurers;

● organisations involved in arranging a professional engagement;

● regulators, public authorities or law enforcement bodies where required by law.

Where an enquiry relates to services provided through another organisation, such as Adelphi Law or KC Resilience Advisory, you may be directed to that organisation and its own privacy arrangements will apply to information you provide to it.

We only share personal information where there is an appropriate reason to do so and do not sell personal information to third parties.

International transfers

Some of our professional activities or service providers may involve personal information being processed outside the UK.

Where this occurs, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data protection law and that appropriate safeguards are in place where required.

How long we keep your information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet any applicable legal, regulatory, professional or administrative requirements.

The appropriate period will depend on the type of information and the nature of our relationship with you.

When personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
