Privacy & Data Protection Notice
Given the sensitivity of the matters on which we are instructed, we hold data protection as a core professional obligation, not an afterthought.
Who we are
Asylum Research provides independent country expert evidence for immigration and asylum proceedings, based in London, UK. For any data protection query, contact contact@asylum-research.com.
What we collect
Through this website we collect only the information you choose to submit via our enquiry and instruction forms — namely professional contact details and non-identifying case metadata.
We ask that you do not submit claimant-identifying information or sensitive personal data through the website. Case bundles and sensitive material are exchanged separately through secure channels agreed after initial contact.
Lawful basis & purpose
We process website enquiry data on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to professional enquiries and, where you instruct us, for the performance of that instruction. Data is used solely to assess and respond to your enquiry, to prepare expert evidence, and to comply with our legal and professional obligations.
Security of sensitive data
- Case bundles are transferred via secure, encrypted channels.
- Access to case material is restricted to the instructed expert and essential support.
- Material is retained only as long as necessary for the instruction and applicable professional record-keeping.
Cookies
This website sets strictly necessary cookies required for security and core function. Optional analytics cookies are disabled unless you consent via the cookie notice. You may change your preference at any time by clearing site data in your browser.
Your rights
Under applicable data protection law you may have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, and to restrict or object to processing. To exercise any right, contact contact@asylum-research.com.
