Ohene-Bekoe & Partners is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you use our website or communicate with us, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Data controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is Ohene-Bekoe & Partners Legal (the firm). If you have questions about this policy or our use of your data, you can contact us at the details given in section 9 below.

2. What data we collect

We may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

  • Contact and identity data: name, email address, telephone number, job title, and organisation when you contact us, subscribe to updates, or submit an enquiry.
  • Communication data: content of correspondence and enquiries you send to us.
  • Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use our website (e.g. pages visited, time spent), where we use cookies or similar technologies as described in our cookie notice.

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your enquiries and to provide legal or other services you have requested.
  • To manage our relationship with you, including sending relevant updates (where you have agreed) and administrative communications.
  • To improve our website, services, and client experience.
  • To comply with legal and regulatory obligations (e.g. anti-money laundering, professional conduct rules).
  • To establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We will only use your data where we have a lawful basis: performance of a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, our legitimate interests (where not overridden by your rights), or your consent where required.

4. Sharing and disclosure

We may share your data with service providers who assist us (e.g. IT, hosting, professional advisers), where they act on our instructions and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose data where required by law, regulation, or court order, or to protect our rights and those of our clients.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

5. International transfers

Your data may be processed in Ghana or in other countries where we or our service providers operate. Where we transfer data outside Ghana, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (e.g. adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses) in accordance with applicable data protection law.

6. Retention

We retain your data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, regulatory, or professional requirements (e.g. retention of client matter files). When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

7. Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Request erasure of your data in certain circumstances.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in section 9. We will respond within the time limits set by law.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure; we encourage you to use secure channels when sending us sensitive information.
