Privacy Statement
Who we are
This statement is issued by Bergweiss Ltd, Company No. 16949445, registered in England & Wales ("we", "us"). It describes how personal data is handled in connection with this website and with correspondence sent to us.
What this website collects
Almost nothing. This website has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking cookies. One preference — your chosen display language — is stored locally in your own browser (localStorage) and is never transmitted to us. Our hosting provider may record standard technical server logs (IP address, time, requested page) for security and operation of the service.
Email correspondence
If you write to us — including proposals sent to the address published on this website — we receive the personal data you choose to include, typically your name, contact details, and the contents of your message. Proposals are received on the terms stated on the main page: on a non-confidential, non-reliance basis, creating no duty to the sender.
How we use personal data
- to read, assess, and respond (or not respond) to correspondence;
- to perform conflict checks and comply with legal obligations;
- to maintain records of matters we take on.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating a professional practice and, where applicable, compliance with legal obligations.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal data. Data may be shared with professional advisers, service providers acting on our instructions, and public authorities where the law requires it.
Retention
Correspondence is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was received for, and thereafter as required by law or professional record-keeping practice.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability under the UK GDPR / EU GDPR, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
International transfers
We operate from offices in more than one jurisdiction. Where personal data moves between them, it does so under appropriate safeguards.
Changes
This statement may be revised from time to time; the version published here is the version in force.
