Northern Contentious Probate Group

The membership of the NCPG is contained on an email circulation list, maintained by Simon Pedley at Mills & Reeve LLP.
 
Simon Pedley/Mills & Reeve is the data controller in terms of this address list.
 
The personal data of members is used for the purposes of circulating matters of interest to the group (including details of regular meetings), and enabling other email exchanges between members on topics relevant to the group’s area of interest. Mills & Reeve LLP therefore has a legitimate interest in circulating emails (whereby members’ email addresses are seen by others) in this way, and therefore Mills & Reeve LLP does not need specific opt-in consent from any member.
 
The only personal data thus circulated are members’ email addresses and the fact of their interest in this area of law. We do not consider that these are sensitive data.
 
By being on this list, this means:

1. Members will receive emails from Simon Pedley/Mills & Reeve LLP and others in the group, on topics relevant to our area of interest, in a way in which all the recipients’ emails are seen by all. These emails are usually in relation to meetings of the group, but occasionally deal with other matters.
2. The up to date list of members’ email addresses will be sent to whichever firm is hosting a group event, and members’ details are therefore likely to be added to that firm’s database for the purposes of inviting you to events.

Any member can ask to be taken off the circulation list at any time and each member has a formal right to object to this personal data processing. However, please note that such a request will not remove you from any other marketing lists you are on at any member firm.

Members have other rights, under certain circumstances.  These are the rights to:

• Request access to their personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables the member to receive a copy of the personal information held by Mills & Reeve LLP about them and to check that the data is being lawfully processed.
• Request correction of the personal information that is held about them. This enables the member to have any incomplete or inaccurate corrected.
• Request erasure of their personal information. This enables a member to ask Mills & Reeve LLP to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for it continuing to be processed. Members also have the right to ask Mills & Reeve LLP to delete or remove their personal information where they have exercised their right to object to processing.
• Request the restriction of processing of their personal information. This enables members to ask Mills & Reeve LLP to suspend the processing of personal information about them, for example if the member wants to establish the accuracy of the data or the reason for processing it.
• Request the transfer of their personal information to another party. 

If a member wants to review, verify, correct or request erasure of their personal information, object to the processing of their personal data, or request that Mills & Reeve LLP transfers a copy of their personal information to another party, please contact Simon Pedley.
 
If a member has an issue with their data that cannot be resolved with Simon Pedley/Mills & Reeve LLP, the member has the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
