Privacy Notices
Collecting personal data? We can help you build a water-tight privacy notice - a document required under GDPR that businesses give to individuals to explain how their personal data is processed.
A privacy notice has two aims: give individuals control over the way their data is collected and used, and promote transparency and trust between a business and its stakeholders.
Because of this, it’s important for businesses to make sure that individuals read their privacy notice in full and understand it: that means a short and easy to read document with no jargon, that’s kept in a place that people can actually find...something we’ve helped countless businesses do.
Examples of when a privacy notice is needed:
Marketing recipients: At the point someone signs up to your mailing list and receives communication from your business.
Website visitors, users of your service, and account holders: Whenever a user is surfing your web pages, creating an account on your platform or interacting with you through a contact us page.
Competition participants: Whenever someone submits their details to enter a business’ competition.
Employees: At the start of a recruitment process, in an employment contract or an exit interview.
Who can this affect?
Founders:
We understand that many products and platforms depend on the data collected from users to deliver great experiences. Make sure you don’t receive any fines for the hard work you’ve put in to providing a bespoke service by forgetting your privacy notice.
HR & People:
It’s essential that an internal privacy notice is signposted in an employment contract, published on the staff intranet or employee handbook - creating trust between your business and its staff in the process. You may also want to consider a separate notice for recruitment candidates, or at least flag that you may keep data from unsuccessful applications.
Sales & Marketing:
It’s likely you’re collecting data for re-marketing purposes in order to drive sales within the business. Make sure your company’s reputation isn’t spoiled by forgetting to signal a privacy notice, whether that’s on your website or in email signatures.
How to get started

Don't take our word for it
It’s just the entire way that Plume does business. I’ve never felt forgotten, I’ve never felt that someone else is too important, everyone’s so nice and everyone puts in 100% of the effort. Working with Plume is a real pleasure.
Our favourite thing about working with Plume is it doesn’t feel like we’re working with a law firm but rather an extension of our own team. The lawyers have become so embedded in our business, so commercially focussed and so tuned to our risk appetite and way of working
The best thing about working with the Employment team is the prompt guidance and support they have given with sensitive and complex issues. Fiona offers professional and diligent advice as well as being incredibly genuine and encouraging. It is reassuring to know they are on hand to help at all times.
Everyone internally has been incredibly impressed with your work and I'm sure we will want to continue working together long-term.
Plume is quite clearly the best law firm in the history of the universe. With trademark protections bestowed upon us by your godly lawyers, we'll be able to focus on what we do best.... developing awesome medical technology for the blind community.
The corporate team helped us navigate through the sale of our business successfully. I appreciated their expertise and in the negotiations it became very beneficial to have their experience guiding our business decisions. I highly recommend - thanks again guys!
Quickly understood my requirements, carried out a thorough review of the facts and produced a user-friendly reference document tailored to my business which demonstrated a strong grasp of the commercials. Take on was pain-free and everyone was friendly and responsive. Would recommend.
Excellent firm. Professional and ideal for start-ups.
The team have supported us with day-to-day and strategic legal advice throughout the year. We're grateful to them for stepping up to support us through this important milestone in MyTutor’s development and for their commitment in getting the deal over the line.
We currently use Plume for our small business and have had a great experience! They are knowledgeable, professional and answer in a timely fashion. Would recommend!
Great working with the folks at Plume. The quality of their work was top notch, their communication was effective and overall happy with the services provided.
You are without a doubt the COOLEST law firm ever, and we love working with you! <3
They're doing amazing stuff on social media and standing out from the crowd. This is a gold standard in disruption.
You are continuing to shape the legal industry to be more creative, compassionate, and (most significantly) human. Keep breaking down barriers - your reach is further than you may realize 🦩
The team have come on board to support MyTutor, a fast growing EdTech business which previously had no in-house legal resource. The team have made a hugely positive difference in a short space of time and we feel incredibly supported by the team, who offer a commercial, low fuss and highly responsive service
Plume are a wonderful, professional and caring law firm. The communication and attention to detail we received by them in dealing with our case was brilliant. I will definitely be using them again for future needs.
The team provided excellent leadership and support throughout our funding process. In particular, they provided comprehensive ownership and management of the close process for AccelerComm, providing excellent, professional guidance from start to finish and enabling AccelerComm to focus on growing core business growth
