Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

Free Employment Law UK ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, process, and protect your personal data in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. The Data We Collect

We collect information that allows us to assess your situation and provide relevant resources:

Identity & Contact Data: Name, email address, and phone number.
Calculator Data: When you use our "Employment Tribunal Deadline Calculator" or "Compensation Estimate Calculator," we collect the inputs you provide, including dates of dismissal/incidents, salary details, age, and length of service.
Case Details: Information provided via our contact form regarding your workplace dispute.

How We Use Your Calculator Data

Unlike standard informational tools, our calculators are designed to provide a preliminary assessment of your legal position.

Case Analysis: We collect and store your email address alongside the inputs and outputs of your calculation. We analyse this data to understand the nature, complexity, and potential value of your case.
Tailored Guidance: This analysis allows us to provide more accurate feedback and suggest the most appropriate specialist support for your specific needs.
Mandatory Consent: You must provide your email address and check the agreement box before using these tools. This serves as your explicit consent for us to process your data for these purposes.

3. Purpose and Lawful Basis for Processing

We process your data under the following legal frameworks:

Consent: When you check the agreement box on our calculators or sign up for templates, you are giving us explicit consent to store and analyse your information.
Legitimate Interests: To improve our assessment models, protect our organisation's rights, and promote our own mission-driven services through internal marketing.

4. Marketing and Promotion

We use your collected email address to send you legal updates, redundancy survival kits, and information regarding our specialist advisory services. We do not share, sell, or rent your data to any third-party company for marketing purposes. All data remains within our own secure systems for our company's exclusive use.

5. Automated Analysis & Transparency

We may use automated systems to process your calculator inputs to provide instant estimates. This analysis is used for advisory and triage purposes and does not constitute a final legal decision. Under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, you have the right to request a human review of any automated assessment that significantly impacts your case.

6. Data Security and Retention

Your data is stored securely on the Framed platform and integrated CRM systems, utilising industry-standard encryption. We retain your data only for as long as necessary to provide you with support or for our internal marketing cycles. You may request the deletion of your data at any time.

7. Your Legal Rights

Under UK law, you have the following rights:

Right of Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure: Request that we delete your email and assessment history.
Right to Withdraw Consent: You can opt-out of marketing at any time via the ‘unsubscribe’ link in our emails.
Right to Object: Object to the automated analysis of your calculator inputs.

8. Cookies
