This privacy policy describes how Shand Taylor Lawyers comply with the NPPs and how we handle your personal information. Collection It is an essential part of our function as professional legal service providers to collect and disseminate information, including personal information. We collect this information from you, our clients or from publicly available registers or agencies. The kind of personal information we collect and hold depends on the services clients request of us. In any case, it is our policy to only collect personal information necessary to provide that professional legal service. We endeavour to only collect sensitive personal information from you, or with your specific consent.
