Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

DCH respects your privacy and treats personal and commercially sensitive information with appropriate discretion. This policy explains how we collect and use personal data when you visit our website, contact us or communicate with us.

01

Who we are

The data controller is DCH. Email: [email protected]

02

Information we collect

  • Your name, job title, company and contact details.
  • Information included in enquiries, correspondence or discussions with us.
  • Technical information such as your IP address, browser, device and website activity.
  • Cookie and analytics information, where permitted.

Please avoid submitting special-category or highly sensitive personal data through the website unless it is necessary and specifically requested.

03

How and why we use it

  • Respond to enquiries and communicate with you.
  • Assess, establish and manage potential or existing engagements.
  • Deliver our services and meet contractual obligations.
  • Operate, secure and improve our website and systems.
  • Maintain appropriate business and professional records.
  • Comply with legal, regulatory or professional obligations.

Our lawful bases may include legitimate interests, steps taken before entering into or performing a contract, consent and compliance with legal obligations.

04

Marketing

We do not sell, rent or trade personal data. We do not operate unsolicited mass-marketing campaigns. We may contact you about matters connected with your enquiry, relationship with DCH or interests where permitted by law. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

05

Sharing information

We may share personal data where necessary with trusted service providers, professional advisers, members of the DCH advisory team involved in a relevant matter, and public or regulatory authorities where legally required. Those parties may only use the information for the relevant purpose and must protect it appropriately.

06

International transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, we use appropriate legal safeguards designed to protect that information.

07

Retention and security

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory, contractual and legitimate business requirements. We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, although no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

08

Confidential enquiries

Many DCH enquiries concern commercially sensitive matters. We handle initial enquiries with appropriate discretion. Submitting information through the website does not, by itself, create a client, advisory, fiduciary or contractual relationship with DCH.

09

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to request access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, restrict or object to its use, request data portability, or withdraw consent. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected].

You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you are unhappy with how your information has been handled.
