Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
Introduction
Paul Engelbrecht Notary Services is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data with care, in line with UK data protection law.
What information we collect
We collect information you give us when you request an appointment or contact us — typically your name, email address, phone number, and details about the matter you need help with. We may also collect identification documents required to carry out notarial work. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
How we use your information
We use your information to respond to your enquiry, prepare for and carry out your notarial appointment, keep statutory records as required by law, and communicate with you about your matter. We do not sell your data. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore.
Legal basis for processing
We process your data on the basis of contract (where you have asked us to provide a service), legal obligation (where we are required to keep records), and legitimate interests (such as running our practice and responding to enquiries). Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.
Sharing your information
We may share information with foreign authorities, solicitors, or apostille services to the extent necessary to complete the notarial work you have asked us to do. Otherwise we do not share your personal information with third parties without your consent, except where required by law.
How long we keep your information
We keep notarial records for the period required by the Notaries Practice Rules and any relevant regulatory or legal requirements. Marketing data is kept only while it is relevant or until you ask us to delete it.
Your rights
You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, restrict or object to its processing, and request portability of your data. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page.
