These are needed for the website to work properly.

Analytics cookies
These help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, and how the website can be improved.

Because Blue Meridian is focused on Brazil and wider LATAM, some of the professional partners, advisers or service providers involved in your matter may be located outside the United Kingdom.

Where we transfer personal information outside the UK, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, where required by data protection law.

This may include using appropriate contractual protections, only sharing information where necessary, and ensuring that the recipient has a legitimate reason to receive the information.

Marketing records may be kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them, subject to our need to keep a basic suppression record.

Website analytics data may be kept according to the retention settings of our analytics or website provider.

We may retain limited information for longer where necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements or protect our legitimate interests.
