At Free Scottish Wills (operated by Leonico Ltd), we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide you with our will-writing service. This includes:
- Account Data: Your name and email address when you register.
- Will Data: The sensitive personal information you enter into the questionnaire, including your address, marital status, details of your family members (spouse, children, executors, guardians), and your financial wishes.
- Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type, and how you interact with our website, collected via standard server logs and cookies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data strictly for the following purposes:
- To generate your legal will document.
- To allow you to log in, save your progress, and edit your will later.
- To send you important account notifications (like password resets or email verification).
- To improve our website and ensure it functions securely.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We do not use the sensitive information within your will for marketing purposes.
3. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored securely on servers located within the UK. We use industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers. Passwords are cryptographically hashed and never stored in plain text.
While we take strong precautions to protect your data, no internet transmission is 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party services to help operate our website, such as:
- Email delivery services (to send verification and reset emails).
- Analytics providers (like Google Analytics) to understand website traffic. These services use anonymised data.
If you choose to click a link to a recommended solicitor, you will be taken to their website, and their privacy policy will apply.
5. Your Rights
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request corrections to inaccurate data.
- Request the deletion of your account and all associated data (the "right to be forgotten"). You can do this by deleting your draft wills and contacting us to close your account.
- Withdraw consent for any non-essential data processing.
