How we use your information
When you contact ScriptCraft Guild, we use the details you provide to respond to enquiries, assess the scope of your matter, and prepare work such as contract drafting or document review. That sounds straightforward, doesn't it? It is, because clear purpose limits unnecessary data use.
We may also retain records to manage instructions, comply with legal and regulatory duties, maintain secure internal files, and improve the way we handle future requests. The aim is simple: collect what we need, keep it only as long as needed, and never lose sight of confidentiality.
What we collect and why
Depending on the service you choose, we may process contact details, identity information, correspondence, matter notes, payment records, and documents you send us for review. Do we need every single detail? No. We only use information relevant to your instruction.
- Contact data for enquiry handling and service updates.
- Document contents for drafting, review, or negotiation support.
- Technical data where necessary to keep our site secure and reliable.
- Billing and administrative records for lawful business operations.
Lawful bases and retention
We rely on lawful bases under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, including performance of a contract, legitimate interests, legal obligation, and, where required, consent. Retention periods depend on the nature of the matter and any regulatory requirement that applies.
If a document review is completed quickly, should the supporting correspondence sit around forever? Not at all. We review storage on a regular basis and remove or anonymise records when they no longer serve a lawful purpose.
Your rights
You have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, rectification, erasure in some cases, restriction, objection, and data portability. You can also raise concerns about how we handle your information. We prefer direct conversations, but the law gives you clear options either way.
