Legal information

Privacy notice

This notice explains how Lines Solicitors Limited, trading as Alexander James Solicitors, handles personal information when you visit our website or contact the firm.

Last reviewed: 1 October 2026

Who controls your information

Lines Solicitors Limited is the controller of personal information processed through this website and in connection with enquiries. You can contact us at info@ajsolicitors.org or at 59 Cheetham Hill Rd, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, M4 4FS.

Information we collect

We may collect your name, contact details, the contents of an enquiry, records of our communications, technical website information and any information you choose to provide. Please ask how to send sensitive documents securely before providing them.

How and why we use it

We use personal information to respond to enquiries, conduct conflict and identity checks, decide whether we can act, provide legal services, meet professional and legal obligations, secure the website and improve our services. Depending on the circumstances, our lawful bases may include steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, legal obligation, legitimate interests and consent.

Sharing and retention

Information may be shared with authorised staff, professional advisers, courts, regulators, service providers and other parties where required to handle a matter or comply with law. We retain records only for as long as required by professional, legal, insurance and operational obligations.

Your rights

UK data protection law may give you rights to access, correct, erase or restrict information, object to certain processing and request portability. Rights are subject to legal and professional restrictions. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Optional website analytics

With your consent, our first-party analytics measures public pages visited and clicks on Call, WhatsApp and Email. Random browser and session identifiers are transformed server-side before storage. We collect coarse browser/device categories and the referring website domain, excluding URL queries and message contents. We do not link analytics to client files or dashboard user accounts.

Where configured, a local geolocation database estimates country and city from the request IP. The IP is not saved in analytics events, and no visitor IP is sent to a separate geolocation API. The result may reflect a VPN or network provider and is not a precise address. A short-lived keyed security value is used for rate limiting. Analytics records are kept for up to 90 days, with automatic cleanup while the service is running.

You may reject or withdraw analytics consent through Privacy settings in the footer. Withdrawing prevents future collection and removes this browser's analytics identifiers. We honour supported browser privacy signals. Analytics helps improve the website; a contact-button click does not prove that a conversation occurred. Contact the firm using the details above for privacy requests.

Regulatory verification

If enabled, the official Solicitors Regulation Authority badge is displayed through Yoshki. Your browser connects to that provider to validate the website's regulatory badge. You can also check the firm directly through the linked SRA register entry. WhatsApp and other external links are subject to the respective providers' privacy terms.
