Birth Litigation UK

Welcome to my informational website.

I am committed to respecting your privacy and safeguarding any personal information you choose to provide while using this website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit the website, how it is used, and the steps I take to protect it.

1. Information I collect

I do not ask visitors to provide personal information simply to browse this website.

If you contact me through the contact form, I will receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address and the contents of your message. Because of the subject matter of this website, your message may contain sensitive personal or medical information. Please do not send medical records or detailed medical information through the contact form unless it is necessary.

I use information sent to me through the contact form to respond to your enquiry and to deal with any further correspondence you have requested.

I will treat correspondence as confidential and will not knowingly share your personal information with third parties unless you have asked me to do so or I am required to do so by law.

My website is hosted by Hostinger. Like most website hosting services, Hostinger may automatically collect technical information when you visit the website, such as your IP address, browser and device information, referring and exit pages, date and time information and other technical or usage information. This information may be processed for security, technical and operational purposes. Hostinger’s Privacy Policy

2. Google Analytics

I use Google Analytics, through the MonsterInsights WordPress plugin, to understand how visitors use this website. This helps me see which pages are useful and improve the website’s content and performance.

Google Analytics may collect information about how you use the website, such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser information and other usage information.

Google Analytics is intended to operate only in accordance with the choices made through the website’s cookie-consent system. Where consent is required, analytics cookies and tracking should not be used unless you have given the appropriate consent.

MonsterInsights provides privacy features including IP anonymisation and integration with cookie-consent systems, but the precise settings depend on how the plugin is configured on this website.

3. Cookies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function, while others may be used for analytics.

A cookie-consent banner is provided so that you can make choices about non-essential cookies. Where consent is required, non-essential cookies should not be placed or used before you have given consent.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings.

4. Contact form and email

Messages sent through the website’s contact form are forwarded to an email account used for this website.

I use this information only to respond to enquiries and for any further correspondence you have requested. I do not use contact-form information for marketing, newsletters or mailing lists.

Because emails may contain personal or sensitive information, please consider carefully what information you include. This website is an information and support resource and is not a solicitor’s office or medical service. Please do not send original medical records or large amounts of sensitive information through the contact form.

5. Third-party websites

My website contains links to third-party websites, including organisations providing legal, medical and support information. Once you leave my website, those organisations have their own privacy policies and data-protection practices. I am not responsible for how third-party websites collect or use your information, so I encourage you to read their privacy policies.

6. How I use information

Personal information you voluntarily provide will be used only for the purpose for which you provided it, such as responding to your enquiry.

Technical and statistical information may be used to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its performance, security and content.

I do not sell or rent your personal information.

7. Keeping your information secure

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. However, no method of transmitting or storing information online or by email can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

8. How long I keep information

I will not keep personal information submitted through the contact form for longer than is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was provided, unless there is a legal reason to retain it for longer.

9. Your rights

Under UK data-protection law, you may have rights concerning the personal information I hold about you. These can include asking to see the information I hold, asking for inaccurate information to be corrected, and in certain circumstances asking for information to be deleted or its use restricted.

If you have contacted me and would like to ask about the personal information I hold about you, please contact me through the website contact form.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website or to data-protection requirements. Any changes will be posted on this page.

11. Contact

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please contact me through the website contact form.

This website provides information and support about birth injury. It is not a legal service or medical service, and contacting me does not create a solicitor-client or doctor-patient relationship.
