Who we are

FamilyCourtAccountant (contact@familycourtaccountant.com) operates a UK referral service connecting family law solicitors, barristers, and individuals in England and Wales with independent family court accountants and forensic accounting experts. We are the data controller for personal information submitted through this website. This website is for England and Wales family courts only. Law, procedure, and experts referenced follow UK family procedure (FPR, Form E, financial remedy). We do not cover Scotland, Northern Ireland, or jurisdictions outside the United Kingdom.

What we collect

Name, email, phone, organisation or law firm, role, proceedings type, case details, and other information you submit via our contact form. We may collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, and cookies where analytics or marketing tools are enabled with your consent.

Lawful basis and purpose

We process personal data to respond to enquiries, match you with suitable family court accountants, manage referrals, and improve our service (legitimate interests and steps prior to entering a contract). Where we send marketing communications, we rely on consent where required by UK GDPR.

Retention and sharing

We retain enquiry data for as long as needed to handle your matter and meet legal obligations, typically up to six years for business records. We share data with instructed experts, Formspree (form processing), and other service providers under appropriate contracts and safeguards. We do not sell personal information.

Cookies and similar technologies

Non-essential cookies and third-party scripts load only after you choose Accept all, Reject non-essential, or save custom preferences. See our Cookie Policy for categories and how to change your choices.

Your rights (UK GDPR)

You may request access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, or object to processing. You may withdraw consent for optional cookies at any time via Cookie settings in the footer. Contact contact@familycourtaccountant.com. You may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

International transfers

Where processors are outside the UK, we ensure appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations.

Children

This website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement through their solicitor.

Security

We use HTTPS and reputable processors. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The last updated date at the top of this page will change when we do.
