Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:
Steps prior to a contract or performance of a contract
We use this basis to respond to inquiries, assess potential engagements, schedule calls, send engagement materials, and provide legal services if a matter is accepted.
Legitimate interests
We use this basis to operate and secure the website, manage inquiries, conduct conflict and suitability screening, maintain business records, improve services, and communicate with prospective or current clients.

Consent
We use this basis where required, including for certain marketing communications or non-essential cookies.
You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others may support analytics, performance measurement, or user experience.
The website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace places necessary cookies and may place non-essential analytics or performance cookies depending on website settings and visitor consent.
Where required by applicable law, we will request consent for non-essential cookies through a cookie banner or similar tool. Squarespace’s cookie banner tools allow non-essential cookies to be restricted until the visitor accepts them, and allow visitors to manage or decline cookies depending on configuration.
You may also adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, but doing so may affect website functionality.
8. Analytics and website performance
We may use Squarespace analytics or similar website analytics features to understand how visitors interact with the website. Analytics may include information such as page views, visitor location approximated from IP address, device/browser type, referring pages, and website performance information.
We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors unless necessary for security, troubleshooting, legal compliance, or protection of rights.
9. Scheduling tools
If you schedule an introductory call through the website, we may collect scheduling-related information such as:
name;
email address;
phone number;
company name;
appointment date and time;
general appointment-related information.
We use Squarespace Scheduling/Acuity or related scheduling tools to provide online booking services. Acuity Scheduling is part of the Squarespace suite of products and is subject to Squarespace policies and practices.
Please do not include confidential, privileged, sensitive, or proprietary information in scheduling fields.
10. Forms and request submissions

email address;
phone number;
company name;
company website;
role or title;
general matter type;
target timeline;
high-level description of your inquiry;
names of relevant parties provided for conflict or suitability screening.
Public forms should be used only for high-level information. They should not be used to upload documents or submit confidential, privileged, sensitive, or proprietary information before an engagement is accepted.
11. Payments and billing
If Moorinvest Counsel accepts a matter and sends a payment link or invoice, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment provider, such as Stripe or another payment processor.
Moorinvest Counsel does not intentionally collect or store full payment card numbers through the public website.

professional advisers, accountants, consultants, or service providers assisting our practice;

We may also disclose information when necessary to protect legal rights, comply with law, prevent fraud, enforce applicable terms, or protect the security of our website or services.
Squarespace’s Data Processing Addendum states that, for customer-controlled data, Squarespace may act as a processor/service provider, while it may separately process certain Squarespace-controlled information under its own privacy practices.
13. No sale or sharing of personal information
Moorinvest Counsel does not sell personal information.
Moorinvest Counsel does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
If we later add advertising pixels, retargeting tools, or similar technologies that may constitute “sharing” under California law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required opt-out mechanism before using those tools.
14. International transfers
Moorinvest Counsel LLC is organized in the United States. Moorinvest Counsel may provide services and operate remotely, and personal information may be accessed or processed from the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Australia, the MENA region or other jurisdictions where Moorinvest Counsel, its personnel, or its service providers operate.
If you are located outside the United States, your personal information may therefore be transferred to, accessed from, or processed in jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
Where required by applicable law, Moorinvest Counsel relies on appropriate safeguards for international transfers, including service provider data processing terms, standard contractual clauses, the UK Addendum, adequacy mechanisms, or other applicable transfer mechanisms.
For service providers, Moorinvest Counsel relies on the applicable data processing terms and transfer safeguards offered by those providers. For example, Squarespace’s GDPR materials state that it uses mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK Addendum, and participation in relevant Data Privacy Framework programs for certain transfers.
15. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law, professional obligations, conflict-checking needs, tax/accounting requirements, or dispute-resolution needs.
Typical retention periods may include:
general website inquiries: up to 3 years;
scheduling records and introductory-call information: up to 3 years;
prospective-client and conflict-screening records: as reasonably necessary for conflict, professional responsibility, and business record purposes;
client and matter records: in accordance with the applicable engagement terms, professional obligations, and legal requirements;
payment and billing records: as reasonably necessary for accounting, tax, business, legal, and professional record purposes;
marketing records: until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to suppression-list retention where needed to honor opt-outs;
analytics and cookie data: according to applicable cookie settings and provider retention periods.
The CCPA regulations’ notice-at-collection guidance expects disclosure of categories collected, purposes, sale/share status, and retention information.
16. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to:
request access to personal information;
request information about how personal information is used and disclosed;
request correction of inaccurate information;
request deletion of personal information;
object to or restrict certain processing;
request portability of certain personal information;
withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
opt out of marketing communications;
lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
To make a request, contact us at:
sarah@moorinvestlegal.comWe may need to verify your identity before responding. Certain information may be exempt from deletion or disclosure where retention is required or permitted by law, professional obligations, legal privilege, conflict-checking, tax/accounting requirements, or dispute-resolution needs.
17. Additional California privacy disclosures
This section applies to California residents to the extent applicable law provides the rights described below.
California Online Privacy Protection Act / online tracking
California guidance recommends that privacy policies clearly describe online tracking practices, how a site responds to Do Not Track signals, and whether other parties may collect personally identifiable information while visitors use the site.
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. The website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals in a standardized way.
We do not currently use advertising pixels or retargeting tools. Service providers such as Squarespace, Acuity/Squarespace Scheduling, payment processors, analytics providers, or embedded tools may collect information through the website depending on site settings and visitor interactions.
Global Privacy Control
Because we do not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, no opt-out action is necessary for those activities.
If we later use tools that involve the sale or sharing of personal information under California law, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required opt-out mechanism, including honoring Global Privacy Control signals where required.
CCPA/CPRA rights
If Moorinvest Counsel is subject to the CCPA/CPRA, California residents may have the right to:
know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, sell, or share;
access specific pieces of personal information;
delete personal information, subject to exceptions;
correct inaccurate personal information;
opt out of sale or sharing;
limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information;
not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
The California Attorney General describes CCPA rights to know, delete, opt out of sale/sharing, correct inaccurate information, and limit use/disclosure of sensitive personal information.
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics.
Authorized agents
If applicable, California residents may use an authorized agent to submit a privacy request. We may require proof that the agent is authorized and may ask the resident to verify their identity directly with us.
California “Shine the Light”
California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits certain California residents to request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes. The statute includes exceptions for disclosures to service providers that process or organize personal information on behalf of a business and do not use it for third-party direct marketing purposes.
Moorinvest Counsel does not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. California residents may contact us at:
sarah@moorinvestlegal.comwith questions about this section.
18. Marketing communications
If we send marketing or informational communications, you may unsubscribe by following the unsubscribe instructions in the communication or by contacting us.
Transactional, administrative, scheduling, billing, conflict-screening, or engagement-related communications are not marketing communications and may continue as necessary.
We do not provide personal information to unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes.
19. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information.
However, no website, email system, form, or online transmission method is completely secure. Public website forms and email should not be used to submit confidential, privileged, sensitive, or proprietary information before Moorinvest Counsel has accepted a matter and an engagement agreement has been executed.
20. No attorney-client relationship
Submitting information through the website, sending email, completing a form, or scheduling an introductory call does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Representation begins only after Moorinvest Counsel accepts the matter and the parties execute an engagement agreement.
21. Children
The website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us.
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under 18.
22. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date above indicates when the policy was last updated.
If we make material changes, we may post a notice on the website or update this Privacy Policy page
