Information collected

I may collect personal information when you contact me by email, telephone or through the website. This may include your name, contact details, organisation, professional role and the contents of your enquiry.

The website may also collect limited technical information, including your IP address, browser, device information and website activity.

Please do not submit confidential documents, privileged material or sensitive personal information with an initial enquiry unless requested.

How information is used

Personal information may be used to:

  • respond to enquiries;

  • assess availability and conduct conflict checks;

  • consider potential arbitration, expert or advisory appointments;

  • administer an agreed appointment or engagement;

  • operate and protect the website; and

  • comply with legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

Personal information is not sold or used for unrelated marketing.

Lawful basis

Information is processed where necessary to respond to an enquiry, take steps before an appointment or engagement, perform an agreed engagement, pursue legitimate professional and administrative interests, or comply with a legal obligation.

Where consent is required, it may be withdrawn at any time.

Sharing information

Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with website and information-technology service providers, professional advisers, relevant parties for conflict-checking purposes, or public authorities where disclosure is legally required.

This website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace may process technical information and information submitted through website forms to provide hosting, security and analytics services. Further information is available in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are relied upon as required by applicable data-protection law.

Retention and security

Information relating only to an initial enquiry will normally be retained for up to 24 months after the last substantive communication, unless a longer period is reasonably required for conflict-checking, legal or professional purposes.

If an appointment or engagement is accepted, relevant information may be retained for as long as required by applicable legal, contractual, professional or insurance obligations.

Reasonable measures are used to protect personal information. However, information transmitted over the internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Cookies and analytics

This website uses essential cookies required for its operation. With your consent, it may also use analytics and performance cookies to understand website traffic and activity.

Non-essential cookies are used only where permitted by applicable law. Cookie preferences can be managed through the website’s cookie banner or your browser settings. Further information is available in Squarespace’s cookie guidance.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to, correction or deletion of your personal information. You may also request restriction of processing, object to certain processing, request data portability or withdraw consent.

To exercise these rights, contact vdr@valerioderossi.co.uk.

You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office through www.ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
