This note explains what the website does with information you type into it. It is written for this static site. If a mail server or booking system is added later, this note should be updated before that system goes live.
What you may be asked for
Consultation and contact forms ask for your name, telephone, email, city, a preferred time, and a short description of the matter. Please do not include identity numbers, full case files, medical records, or documents about children.
What this version of the site actually does
The pages are HTML, CSS and JavaScript. There is no chamber database behind the forms. When you submit:
- a summary is shown on your screen so you can copy it or open it in your own email program;
- a copy may be stored in your browser’s local storage, on your device, so the page can show that summary again during the visit. It is not sent to the chamber by the storage itself;
- the chamber receives the enquiry only if you then send the email, or otherwise deliver the message. If the chamber email address has not yet been published, nothing leaves your device.
Email, WhatsApp and maps
If you use an email link, your email provider carries the message. If you use WhatsApp, that service carries the chat, under its own terms. A map, when an address is published, is loaded from Google. Social icons, when linked, open those networks. The chamber does not control those companies.
How the office should treat a real enquiry
Once a message actually reaches the chamber, it should be used only to decide whether a consultation can be offered, to reply to you, or to make an introduction you have been told about. It should not be used for a public testimonial unless you later agree in writing. Enquiries are not the same as a confidential retainer. See the disclaimer.
Retention on your device
You can clear the local copy by clearing this site’s data in your browser. The chamber cannot delete a copy that never reached it. If you have emailed the office, ask the office to delete the correspondence if you do not wish to proceed, subject to any record the advocate is required to keep after a real instruction.
