Thank you for visiting woodhouse.legal (the “Site”). Woodhouse Legal Ltd. (“Woodhouse Legal,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how and why we use it, and the rights you have in relation to your information.
Important: This document is provided for general information only and does not constitute legal advice. You should adapt it to reflect your specific data‑processing activities and obtain legal guidance where appropriate.
Woodhouse Legal Ltd. is the data controller for personal information collected through the Site. We are registered in England & Wales under company number 00000000 with our registered office at 123 Example Street, London EC1A 1AA, United Kingdom.
If you have questions about this Policy or your data, please email hello@woodhouse.legal or write to the address above.
We keep data collection to a minimum. We only use two third‑party services—Google Analytics (GA4) and Google Firebase—which gather information as described below.
| Category | Examples | Source / Technology |
|---|---|---|
| Usage data | pages viewed, clicks, scrolls, referring URL, approximate location (city‑level), device type, browser and OS, language, anonymised IP address | Google Analytics (GA4) cookies / tags |
| Technical logs | IP address, request headers, timestamps, error messages | Firebase Hosting & Cloud Functions server logs |
| Optional account or form data (only if you create an account or submit a form) | name, email address, any information you choose to provide | Firebase Authentication / Firestore (if enabled) |
We do not use any other cookies, advertising trackers, or social‑media pixels.
Google Analytics sets first‑party cookies to recognise repeat visits and compile aggregated statistics. We have enabled IP anonymisation so that your IP address is truncated before storage. You can refuse Analytics cookies via our consent banner or by installing the Google Analytics Opt‑out Add‑on.
Firebase may set cookies solely to maintain the security and integrity of the Site (e.g. to detect abuse).
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Measure and improve Site performance and content | Legitimate interests (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) – We have a legitimate interest in understanding how our Site is used so we can improve it. |
| Ensure Site security, detect abuse and errors | Legitimate interests |
| Respond to enquiries or provide services you request | Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) or Consent where applicable |
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we have balanced those interests against your rights and freedoms.
| Data type | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Google Analytics event data | 14 months (configured setting) |
| Firebase Hosting logs | Up to 30 days (Google default) |
| Form submissions / account data | Until your request is fulfilled or your account is deleted, plus up to 6 years to comply with legal obligations |
We will delete or anonymise data once the retention period expires unless we are required to keep it longer (e.g. for legal claims).
We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
Because Google’s infrastructure is global, your information may be transferred outside the UK/EEA. Where this occurs, we rely on adequacy decisions (e.g. EU‑US Data Privacy Framework when applicable) or Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and the UK Information Commissioner.
Under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact hello@woodhouse.legal. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
We use industry‑standard security measures, including HTTPS encryption in transit and server‑side encryption at rest (via Firebase). However, no method of transmission or storage is 100 % secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Our Site may contain links to third‑party sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please review their policies before providing personal data.
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when it was last revised. Material changes will be highlighted on the Site.
