8. Data Retention
We don't keep your data longer than we need to. We believe in smart, minimal, and lawful data retention, aligned with the services we provide, the obligations we uphold, and the rights you retain.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including:
- To provide you with our legal or consulting services
- To comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, or tax obligations
- To resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect our legal rights
- Or as otherwise required or permitted under relevant data protection laws (e.g., GDPR, NDPR, CCPA)
For example, if you've engaged us for a one-off service or consultation, we may retain your contact and transaction records for several years in line with legal or professional obligations.
Criteria for Determining Retention Periods
The specific retention period for your personal data depends on several factors, including:
- The type and sensitivity of the data
- The purpose for which the data was collected
- Whether we have a continuing relationship with you (e.g., active retainer, support inquiries)
- Legal or regulatory requirements (e.g., tax and financial laws)
- The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure
We periodically review our data holdings and securely dispose of or anonymize information no longer required.
Deletion or Anonymisation of Data
When your personal data is no longer needed, we will either:
- Securely delete it from our systems; or
- Anonymise it so that it can no longer identify you, and use it for analytics, service improvement, or research purposes where permitted
You may also request data deletion at any time, see Section 7 for how to exercise your rights. Please note that in some cases, we may need to retain certain information to comply with legal duties or contractual obligations.
9. Data Security and International Transfers
We understand that when you share personal information, you trust it will be kept safe, secure, and handled with care. Protecting your data is not only a legal obligation, it's a core part of our professional promise.
Our Security Measures
We implement a range of technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include:
- Secure server environments and encrypted data storage
- Role-based access controls and password protection
- Firewalls, SSL/TLS encryption, and vulnerability monitoring
- Periodic staff training and strict internal data handling protocols
While no security system is entirely foolproof, we regularly review and update our measures to stay aligned with industry best practices and applicable regulatory standards.
How You Can Help Keep Data Secure
Data protection is a shared responsibility. You can help by:
- Using strong, unique passwords and changing them regularly
- Keeping your device and browser software up to date
- Avoiding public or insecure networks when accessing sensitive content
- Alerting us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your Account or personal information
International Data Transfers
As a digital legal consultancy and legal tech solution outfit, some of our systems or third-party service providers may operate or store data in jurisdictions outside of your country of residence, including the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and Nigeria. This means your personal data may be transferred to or processed in countries that may have different levels of data protection than your local law.
Safeguards for International Transfers
Where we transfer personal data internationally, especially from the EU/EEA, UK, or Nigeria, we take appropriate steps to ensure it remains protected. These safeguards may include:
- Entering into contracts based on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or UK ICO
- Relying on adequacy decisions from relevant regulators
- Implementing additional technical, legal, and organizational measures as needed
By using our Site or engaging our services, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred internationally and consent to those transfers, subject to applicable protections and rights under your jurisdiction.
