At DWF we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of all individuals who interact with us and we respect the privacy choices you make.
This privacy notice explains how we collect, use, share and protect the information we collect through our interaction with you, and your rights in relation to that.
When we refer to 'DWF', we are referring to the leading global provider of integrated legal and business services comprising DWF Group Limited and all of its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings internationally which practice using the name 'DWF' or other trading names such as 'DWF-RCD', 'WT BCA' and 'Resolution Law', and any wider entity names within the DWF group such as Greyfern Law and Whitelaw Twining. For full details of our group entities across the globe, please see our Legal Notices which, together with the 'Data controllers' section of this privacy notice, provide more information on the DWF group entities that control and process personal information.
As a global business, we take a consistent approach to protecting privacy across our international group. This privacy notice applies wherever you are located and is based on European Union data protection principles (as contained within the EU's General Data Protection Regulation). In addition to these principles, some jurisdictions in which we operate have additional local privacy requirements. Please click on the link of a specific location in the 'Additional Country-Specific Privacy Information' section which accompanies this privacy notice. The terms of our local privacy notices take priority over the terms of this privacy notice in the event that they conflict. This is because we are committed to ensuring that we are fully compliant with regulations and the best practice in all of the locations in which we operate.
We also have an established framework of policies, procedures, contracts and training addressing data protection, confidentiality and security across our global group, and we regularly review the appropriateness of the measures we have in place to keep the personal information we hold secure.
Please click on the relevant headings below, which will take you to more information on each of the areas described.
We recognise that we have an ongoing responsibility of transparency with data subjects so we keep this privacy notice under regular review and therefore encourage you to check it regularly. We will include a notification on our website's home page if we make any significant changes to this privacy notice.

How we use your personal information
We only use your information for the purposes for which we collected it subject to limited exceptions, such as where we reasonably consider that we can use your information for another reason which is compatible with the original purpose for which it was collected.
Subject to applicable laws, we may also monitor and record your calls, emails, text messages, social media messages and other communications in relation to your dealings with us.

We are permitted to do this by our legitimate interests or our legal obligations.
We may use your information in different ways depending upon the circumstances, these can include the following:

If you are a website user
We may use the information you submit to our website, for example, contact details, to respond to your enquiries or complaints.
When you visit our website, our server will also temporarily record your IP address (similar to a phone number, it is a unique number that allows your computer or device to communicate via the internet).

If you are accessing our website from a business IP address, we also capture details of which organisations have visited our website.
Additonally, for the purpose of detecting and blocking attacks (such as hacking) on our website and its technical infrastructure, we process your IP address, access time, accessed subpage(s), and transmitted data volume.

If you are applying for a job with us
As an international business we are committed to safeguarding the privacy of the individuals that apply for positions at DWF. This section explains how we collect and generate personal information about you as part of our application process.
We use your personal information to allow us to process your job application, including the information submitted by you (which may be via the Careers section of our website), by third party recruitment agencies, by your referees and by our own DWF colleagues (as a result of an internal recommendation or referral on your behalf for a role).
We use your personal information to assess your suitability for the position you have applied for at DWF, to review our equal opportunities legal requirements, and for other human resource administration and reporting purposes.
As well as the personal information referred to in the 'What information we collect' section of this privacy notice, we can collect additional information if you apply for a job with us. This can include:
Unless required in order to comply with any legal or regulatory requirements, or where we have a legitimate interest to do so, we will only use the personal information you provide to us for the purposes of processing and managing your application for a position at DWF and the associated recruitment process.
We will not process any special category information about you without your explicit consent, which is not mandatory. If you do provide your consent, such information is used solely for the purposes of diversity monitoring, and to ensure that any and all reasonable adjustments are made for applicants with disabilities.
If you are an opposing party to or a person involved with a transaction we are involved with
We may use your personal information in order to perform our services for our clients. Elements of your information contained in matter files may be shared with or disclosed to third parties as part of our work in relation to that matter, in accordance with 'who we share your personal information with' below.
If you attend one of our events, seminars or one of our offices
All visitors to our offices will be required to sign in and out at one of our designated reception points. Depending on the office location, we may collect entry and exit data from the electronic security barriers located in our reception areas and/or on each floor or office area. This data is collected for auditing and HR purposes and will be stored electronically and for a period of 12 months.
If you are a visitor at one of our offices, we may collect personal data during your visit such as your name, job title, contact information (including address, telephone number and company you work for) payment information (including verification documents from our clients in order to comply with anti-money laundering requirements, such as utility bills, your passport and driving licence) and other information relevant for us to carry out our services.
When you log onto our Wi-Fi when attending our offices as a visitor, either in our UK or international offices, we will provide a direct internet connection for your use. Our Wi-Fi can be accessed via the ClientNet network. This is a separate network from our corporate network. To allow you to use our free Wi-Fi, we will collect details of your MAC address (Media Access Control address, this is a unique code linked to your hardware in order to identify it). This information will not be stored and will be deleted as soon as your session ends. If you connect to our ClientNet network Wi-Fi as a visitor in one of our international offices, this data routes via our Manchester internet line. We will however collate details of your MAC address within the session. No personal data will be stored and your MAC address will be deleted after these sessions.
If you attend our events, seminars or offices, we may use your personal information to cater for any dietary or accessibility requirements and to analyse any feedback you provide.
Where you also sign up to receive marketing communications from us at an event or seminar, please refer to the 'If you receive marketing communications' section of this privacy notice for further details.
If you connect with us on social media
In some of our locations worldwide, we collect personal information whilst responding to enquiries directed to our social media networks such as Facebook, X (previously called Twitter), LinkedIn or Xing or during the course of promotional campaigns on our social media platforms. In the course of our recruitment, we are sometimes directed to individuals' LinkedIn profiles by recruitment agencies. We sometimes process personal information that is published on social networks.
Depending on the content of the request, processing will be restricted to the specific purpose of the enquiry. After the fulfilment of the enquiry and any legal obligations related to it, in particular commercial and tax retention requirements, the personal information is deleted.
If you use such social media services, you should review their own privacy policies for more information on how they deal with your personal information.
On what basis do we process your personal information
We will only use and process your personal information where we have a lawful basis for doing so. This can include:
With regard to the information we collect from you on our website, we will process this on the basis that you have provided your consent or where we have a legitimate interest in processing it.
In addition to you providing your consent to our processing of your personal information, there are other lawful bases for our processing which include processing that:
We operate on a global model of distributed central services, meaning that certain central functions in our organisation may be undertaken by a global team, including systems architecture and information technology functions. Additionally, certain core processes (such as data entry) may be performed in any one of our operating jurisdictions, depending on operational need. As a consequence, it is necessary that data may be shared globally—subject to key security requirements—to permit that central services team to support our business, and consequently, to provide services to clients and manage our colleague network.
As a leading global provider of integrated legal and business services with a strong culture of collaboration and a digital forward focus, we are also constantly looking at ways of delivering our services to our clients more effectively and in a way that adds value to our client's business and transactions. Where appropriate, we may utilise legal technologies, such as automation software and machine learning (artificial intelligence), to assist us with the delivery of these goals. The legal technologies we use present us with the ability to enhance not only the performance of our services to our clients, but their delivery times by accelerating and facilitating our ability to automate and extract value from what we do. The insights we gain in using legal technologies in the performance of our services to our clients also allows us to develop our future service offerings both to our clients and generally, allowing the benefit of the know-how acquired to help us evolve and enhance our use of such technologies. We have agreements in place with our third party legal technology service providers and we require them to operate and conduct themselves in a way that is consistent with our legal and ethical obligations. We also employ technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality and security of personal information at all times when making use of these beneficial legal technologies. No decision making process is fully automated, but use of machine learning processes may lead to certain claims being presented to relevant staff members more quickly, or may result in certain information being grouped for review by members of our staff, which may ultimately cause those matters to resolve more quickly.
Who we share your personal information with
As an international business, we sometimes need to pass your personal information to our other group entities or associated firms, for example, so that we can respond to an enquiry you have sent via our website or where some services are to be provided to you from a different DWF international group member, save for when we are precluded from doing so due to specific obligations in respect of confidentiality or due to conflicts of interest. If that happens, your personal information will be protected, its confidentiality upheld and we will comply with all our obligations under the applicable data protection laws with regard to that data sharing.
In addition, we sometimes share your information with our trusted third party service providers who perform functions on our behalf. These third parties service providers can include:
Sometimes, limited amounts of your personal information may be shared with prospective customers or business partners as part of our bid submission activity. This will be limited to identifier information which will permit our business partners to contact you to verify information we have provided. This information will only be provided where it is otherwise consistent with our professional obligations and any wider contractual arrangements we might have with our clients.
We will ensure that we have taken appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information remains protected at all times in accordance with this privacy notice. We also implement appropriate safeguards with these third parties to ensure that such transfers of your personal information to those third parties are safe, secure and confidential.
In order to best facilitate our services to and interactions with you, we may store some of your personal information using cloud technologies managed by our third party service providers. We have agreements in place with those third party service providers and we require them to operate and conduct themselves in a way that is consistent with our legal and ethical obligations. We also employ technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality and security of any personal information shared with our third party service providers.
Further information and details of the third party suppliers DWF uses for the above-mentioned purposes are available upon request, where relevant to you. With regard to access to data rooms and other online-platforms (such as HighQ) and e-signature software (such as DocuSign) provided by third parties:
Where you are a client of DWF or an opposing party to a transaction we are involved with (such as litigation matters), we can also disclose your personal information to:
for the purposes of carrying out that work and only to the extent necessary.
If our business undergoes any re-organisation, we sometimes need to transfer your personal information to a re-organised entity for the same purposes as set out in this privacy notice. Additionally, we are sometimes required to transfer some or all of your personal information to a relevant third party in the re-organisation as part of any due diligence process, for example, or for the purpose of evaluating the proposed re-organisation. Where we are engaged in merger and acquisition activity, such as adding a new entity to our corporate group, or acquiring a new business, sometimes personal information will be disclosed as part of a business transfer or business merger process for the purposes of identifying conflicts, verifying client relationships or handling employment related matters associated with the merger or acquisition activity.
We will not disclose your personal information to any third parties not outlined above for any reason unless:
In the event of any cross-border transfer of your personal information amongst our group entities, we implement applicable transfer control mechanisms including Standard Contractual Clauses or other alternative measures that are appropriate and where required to address those transfer restrictions in accordance with applicable data protection laws. For full details of our group entities and associated firms across the globe, please see our Legal Notices .
Where we transfer your personal information across borders, whether such transfer is within or outside the European Economic Area, we will always ensure that such transfer is safe and secure by ensuring that adequate safeguards are put in place to protect your personal information. As such, appropriate safeguards will be in place regardless of whether the transfer is to a country that is subject to an adequacy decision or where it is a non-adequate country. Information transferred may include personal information which is contained within client files, personal information which is used to supplement business invoicing or collection activity, or our employee information which is provided to shared central services activities, such as IT and/or HR.
How long we keep your personal information for
We keep your personal information in accordance with our internal retention procedures, which are determined by our legal, regulatory and professional obligations including applicable data protection laws and in accordance with good practice. The retention periods differ depending upon the nature of the data we hold and the reasons why we are holding it, and are subject to change. We only keep your personal information for as long as we need to. When your information is no longer required, we will delete it securely.
If your personal information relates to an unsuccessful job application, we might use your personal information to contact you where positions or opportunities emerge that we believe you might be suitable for. The retention of your personal information for this purpose will depend on, and only be retained in accordance with, applicable local laws. Where required, we will obtain your consent as part of the initial application process to retain your personal information in this way and this consent will be apparent at the point of your initial application. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, we may be able to continue to process your personal information to the extent required or otherwise permitted by law, in particular in connection with exercising and defending our legal rights or meeting our legal or regulatory obligations. Please go to the 'Additional country-specific privacy information' section of this privacy notice for further detail of those jurisdictions where your consent may be required to retain your information in this way.
Please contact us if you require more details regarding our retention periods.
How we protect your personal information
We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is kept secure. In order to protect the information you input to our website from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification, unlawful destruction or accidental loss, we have put in place appropriate technical, physical and managerial procedures. All our employees and any third parties we engage to process your information are obliged to respect the confidentiality of your personal information.
We take information security seriously and have obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2013 which is an internationally recognised security standard. This means that our IT systems and infrastructure are managed in line with international best practice.
However, the internet is not a secure environment and we cannot therefore guarantee total security of any data transmitted to our website. Whilst we utilise the latest virus protection software, we cannot guarantee our website is free of computer viruses or other harmful applications so such transmission is at your own risk.

We may share necessary personal data with governmental entities for specific purposes, or with other processors based on a legal basis.
Appropriate security controls are applied when sharing your information, to ensure a secure and reliable environment, according to the relevant laws, regulations, and policies.
Where deemed applicable, we may take additional steps to protect your information through signing a formal Data Sharing Agreement between the two parties, in obedience to specific terms and conditions that are compatible with data sharing principles.

If you apply for a job with DWF Poland Jamka Sp. k. and your candidacy is not progressed in relation to that job application, we will only retain your personal data for the purposes of considering you for future opportunities if you provide your express consent for the processing of your personal data for that purpose.
We will never demand from a candidate for work any data that is not necessary for their application. In particular, data that is not related to the purpose of hiring an employee, for example, data on marital status, religion, religious beliefs or sexual orientation (i.e. special categories of personal data as defined in the 'What personal information we collect' section of this privacy notice) is considered to be beyond the scope specified in the labour law. You can however choose to voluntarily provide us with such data with your express consent for us to process that data – e.g. you enclose or include that data in your application documents. However, we never expect this data from you.
We will not collect information about you with regard to your candidacy for employment from your previous employers, schools and universities that you have graduated from, if you do not expressly consent for us to do that.

This additional privacy notice applies to the handling personal information by Mindcrest Inc., doing business as DWF Mindcrest and DWF (Claims) USA (DWF) in the USA. Some states, for example California, give you privacy rights extending beyond that of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation.
Unlike the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act 2018 defines personal information.

From 1 January 2022 the California Privacy Rights Act will govern the management of data relating to data subjects in California.

Where sensitive personal data held in India is transferred to any person in India or abroad, the minimum applicable standard to all DWF Group entities has been assessed as at least equivalent to those mandated by the SPDI rules. Where, however, any receiving entity is not subject to the SPDI Rules, that entity has agreed by the terms of our group data agreements to meet the standard of the SPDI Rules.
Please see the section 'Complaints and how to contact us' in our privacy notice to find out more about how you can exercise your privacy rights.
