We perform this monitoring by placing cookies on your machine which collect data such as pages visited, length of time spent on each page, links clicked, operating system and device type.

Wayman & Long offers a wide range of legal services, family law to commercial dispute resolution. To deliver our services, we hold contact and account data on our clients.

We believe we have a legitimate business need to store and process your personal information for some marketing purposes, whether you're a client (on the basis that we can continue our professional relationship) or a prospective client (on the basis that we provide useful marketing newsletters of a non-sales nature). As such, we're operating under 'legitimate interests' lawful ground for processing, as defined by GDPR, but you always have a choice. Clear opt out mechanisms are provided at all times.
Under GDPR, you have certain rights as an individual which you can exercise in relation to the personal information we hold on you. These include the right to rectification and right to object, both of which we've already mentioned in the sections above.
