KNT Legal Limited — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 September 2026

This policy explains how KNT Legal Limited collects, uses, stores and shares personal information when you enquire about or use our services, visit our website, or are involved in a client’s matter as a family member, sponsor, referee or other contact.

1. Who we are

KNT Legal Limited is responsible for deciding how the personal information covered by this policy is used. For data protection purposes, we are the data controller.

For privacy questions or requests, contact us using the details above and mark your correspondence for the attention of the Director.

We provide immigration advice and services within our authorised level and category. Where a matter requires work outside that authorisation, we explain the position and discuss referral to an appropriately authorised adviser.

2. Information we collect

We collect personal information relevant to your enquiry, the work we undertake, and our legal and regulatory responsibilities. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

  • Identity and contact information: names, dates of birth, nationality, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, passport details, travel documents, Home Office reference numbers and share codes.

  • Family and personal circumstances: relationships, dependants, marital status, address history, travel history and absences from the United Kingdom.

  • Immigration history: applications, decisions, grants of permission, refusals and information about previous proceedings.

  • Employment, business and education information: employment contracts, payslips, accounts, business records, sponsor information, certificates of sponsorship and qualifications.

  • Financial information: bank statements, evidence of funds, billing details and payment records.

  • Communications and case records: correspondence, documents you supply, attendance notes and records of meetings and telephone calls.

  • Sensitive information: the information described in section 5, where necessary for the matter.

We may also process information about people acting on behalf of a business client, including their names, roles and business contact details.

3. Where information comes from

Most information comes directly from you. We may also receive it from:

  • clients who provide information about their family members, sponsors, referees or other people involved in their matter;

  • employers, educational institutions and sponsoring organisations;

  • previous advisers and other professional advisers;

  • interpreters, translators and other authorised service providers;

  • the Home Office and other public authorities; and

  • public registers, such as Companies House, where relevant.

If you give us information about someone else, please ensure it is accurate and, where appropriate, make them aware of this policy. This does not replace our own obligation to provide privacy information.

Where we obtain information about you from another source, we provide the required privacy information within a reasonable period and no later than one month. If we contact you or disclose your information sooner, we provide it by that earlier point, as applicable. We depart from these requirements only where a relevant legal exception applies.

4. Why we use information

Data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for using personal information. The basis depends on the purpose and whose information we are using.
