Who we are. Prenup.co.uk is operated by Edward Young Notaries & Lawyers, 19 Wigmore Street, London W1U 1PH ("we"). We are the data controller for personal data collected through this website and in the course of providing nuptial agreement services.

What we collect and why

• Enquiries. When you call or email us we record your name, contact details and the information you give us about your circumstances, so that we can advise you and quote a fee. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before entering a contract.
• Clients. When you instruct us we collect the information needed to prepare your agreement, including financial disclosure, identity documents (which we are required by law to verify), and details of your partner and their adviser. Legal basis: performance of a contract and compliance with legal obligations, including anti-money-laundering and notarial record-keeping rules.

Sharing

We share information with your partner's legal adviser to the extent needed to conclude the agreement, with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and foreign embassies where you ask us to legalise a document, with translators where you instruct a translation, and with our IT and document-storage providers under contract. We do not sell personal data.

Retention

Client files are retained for at least six years after the matter closes, and notarial records are retained permanently as required by the Notaries Practice Rules. Enquiry records that do not lead to instructions are deleted after twelve months.
