Privacy policy

Solicitor Compare (solicitorcompare.co.uk) provides this policy to set out how information relating to your use of the site is handled.

Do you collect my personal data? Not actively — there's no registration or contact form on this site that captures your details. What does happen automatically is that your browser sends basic technical information to our web server whenever you request a page, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages viewed. This is stored in standard server logs.

What about cookies and ads? Yes, cookies may be used here, both to measure how the site is used and to support advertising. Some of our advertising partners, potentially including Google, may use cookies to show adverts matched to your interests based on your browsing. You are able to opt out of this kind of ad personalisation at myadcenter.google.com.

Where do the solicitor listings come from? Entries for solicitors & law firms, conveyancing solicitors, family law solicitors and notaries — along with star ratings and review text — are compiled from publicly available Google Maps data. We are not the author of this content. A law firm wanting a listing corrected or removed should get in touch and we'll deal with the request.

What rights do I have? The UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 give you rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection in respect of any personal data concerning you. If you consider that your rights have not been respected, you are entitled to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), which can be reached at ico.org.uk.

What about links to other sites? You'll find links here to individual solicitors' own websites and to Google Maps. Once you follow those links you are subject to the privacy practices of those third parties, over which we have no control.

Getting in touch For any question about this policy or your data, email [email protected].
