Privacy Notice

Who is responsible for the information

Compute Forensics is responsible for information used to administer website enquiries and its own client relationships. Privacy enquiries can be sent to expert@compute-forensics.com. Where work is performed under another organisation’s documented instructions, the respective data-protection roles are confirmed as part of the engagement.

Information collected

The website may collect contact details, organisation, telephone number, party and entity names for conflict checks, matter type, jurisdiction, deadlines, funding route and a short description of the requested service. Basic security logs may also record IP address, browser information, time and requested pages.

The public form is not an evidence-transfer service. Do not use it to send devices, forensic images, extraction packages, documents, passwords, confidential case papers or detailed personal evidence. If an instruction proceeds, a case-specific secure route and handling requirements will be agreed.

Why information is used

Information is used to respond to enquiries, check conflicts and suitability, prepare estimates, take steps requested before a contract, administer agreed work, keep appropriate business and security records, meet legal or regulatory duties and establish or respond to legal claims. The applicable lawful basis depends on the relationship and purpose. Where particularly sensitive information is required for an instructed matter, the additional condition and safeguards are considered within that case.

Sharing and processors

Information is limited to people and suppliers who need it for the stated purpose. This may include carefully selected hosting, email, secure-transfer, IT, accounting, legal or professional-service providers. A separate expert is not given case material until their identity, role, scope and information arrangements have been agreed. Information is not sold.

International access and storage

Where a supplier stores or accesses information outside the United Kingdom, the provider, data involved, transfer arrangement and relevant safeguards are considered for that use.

Retention and security

Enquiry information is kept only as long as needed for conflict records, follow-up, business administration and applicable legal or professional requirements. Instructed case material follows the retention and disposal terms agreed for that matter. Appropriate organisational and technical measures are used according to risk, but no internet transmission can be described as risk-free.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection or portability, and to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office. A right may be limited where another legal requirement, privilege, conflict record or legal claim applies. Contact Compute Forensics first if you wish to exercise a right or raise a concern.

Cookies and measurement

Strictly necessary storage may be used to operate and protect the website. Optional analytics or marketing technology, if introduced, will not run before the appropriate choice is offered. The choices shown on the website will reflect the tools then in use.
