Who We Are
This Privacy Policy is issued by Nexa Core Digital Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16911508, with our registered office at 61 Suffolk Road, Ilford, England, IG3 8JG.
We operate the Nexa Legal platform, including the Nexa Legal OS practice management system accessible at nexalegal.cloud and app.nexalegal.cloud, and the Nexa Legal Connect client portal service (collectively, the Platform).
We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). If you have questions about whether your firm needs ICO registration, visit ico.org.uk.
For all data protection enquiries, contact us at: hello@nexalegal.cloud
Who This Policy Applies To
This policy applies to all individuals whose personal data we process, including:
- Law firm administrators, solicitors, paralegals, and support staff who use the Platform as part of their firm's subscription (Firm Users)
- Clients of law firms who submit documents or information through the Platform's client portal (End Clients)
- Visitors to our websites at nexalegal.cloud and app.nexalegal.cloud
- Individuals who contact us by email, phone, or any other channel
- Prospective customers who enquire about our products or services
If you are a law firm using our Platform, you act as a Data Controller in respect of your clients' personal data processed through the Platform. We act as your Data Processor for that data. Our Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of our Terms of Service, governs that relationship separately.
Personal Data We Collect
3.1 Data you provide directly
- Account registration: name, email address, job title, firm name, phone number
- Firm profile: law firm name, SRA registration number, business address, practice areas
- Matter data: case names, matter types, client names, matter references, court dates, case notes, workflow stages
- Solicitor client account: client names, matter references, transaction amounts, payer details, bank statement data uploaded by your firm
- Documents: any files uploaded to the Platform by your firm or your clients through the client portal
- Billing: billing contact name, email address, and payment card details which are processed by Stripe — we do not store card numbers directly
- Communications: emails, support messages, feedback, and enquiries you send us
- Innovation partner applications: firm details, practice area information, and contact information submitted through nexalegal.cloud/partners
3.2 Data we collect automatically
- Usage data: pages visited, features used, session duration, actions taken within the Platform
- Device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers
- Log data: server logs, error reports, performance data, access timestamps
- Cookies and similar technologies: see Section 11 for full cookie information
3.3 Special category data
The Platform may process special category personal data about your clients — such as health information in personal injury matters, immigration status, financial details, or family circumstances — as part of the case management and document storage functions. We process this data solely on your instruction as Data Controller. We do not use this data for any purpose beyond providing the Platform to your firm.

Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We share data only in the following circumstances.
5.1 Service providers
We use carefully selected third-party providers to operate the Platform. Each is bound by a Data Processing Agreement:
5.2 Legal disclosure
We may disclose personal data where required by law, court order, or regulatory authority — including the ICO, SRA, HMRC, or law enforcement agencies. We will notify you where legally permitted before making such a disclosure.
5.3 Business transfers
If we sell, merge, or transfer all or part of our business, personal data held by us may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify affected users in advance and ensure the receiving entity maintains equivalent data protection standards.
5.4 Development team
Our development team is based in Bangladesh. Team members access the Platform for development and support purposes under strict access controls, confidentiality agreements, and limited-scope credentials. This access is governed by appropriate contractual safeguards and is logged for audit purposes.
Legal Professional Privilege
We acknowledge that data processed through the Platform may be subject to legal professional privilege. We will not access, disclose, or use privileged data except:
- To provide technical support that you have specifically requested
- Where required by a binding legal obligation
- As described in our Data Processing Agreement with your firm
Our team members are required to handle privileged legal data with appropriate care. Access to client matter data is restricted to authorised personnel only and only where necessary to provide support or maintain the Platform.
International Data Transfers
We are committed to keeping your data within the UK or European Economic Area wherever possible. Where data is transferred outside the UK or EEA — for example when using the Anthropic Claude API for AI features — we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place including:
- Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the ICO
- The UK International Data Transfer Agreement where appropriate
- Binding Corporate Rules where applicable
Anthropic, our AI provider based in the USA, processes data under standard contractual clauses. We minimise the personal data sent to Anthropic's API using data minimisation and anonymisation techniques where possible.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.
When your firm cancels its subscription we will retain your data for the periods above and then securely delete or anonymise it. You may request earlier deletion subject to our legal retention obligations — see Section 9 for your rights.
Your Rights Under UK GDPR
Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights:
Right of access
You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is called a Subject Access Request. We will respond within one calendar month.
Right to rectification
You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to erasure
You can ask us to delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary, where you withdraw consent, or where we have processed it unlawfully — subject to our legal retention obligations.
Right to restrict processing
You can ask us to pause processing of your data in certain circumstances — for example while you contest its accuracy.
Right to data portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you can ask us to provide your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to object
You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling. You can also object at any time to processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights regarding automated decisions
We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects without human review.
Right to withdraw consent
Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@nexalegal.cloud. We will respond within one calendar month of receiving your request. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your request, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.
How We Protect Your Data
