SponsorLicence's terms of use, the details you send, and the way solicitor referrals work are set out here. Kensington Guidance Ltd, 1 London Wall, London EC2Y 5AB, United Kingdom, publishes this site.

Privacy notice

Who has responsibility for your data?

The controller for personal data you send via SponsorLicence is Kensington Guidance Ltd. Our address, if you'd like to write to us, is 1 London Wall, London EC2Y 5AB.

The details we gather

Nothing beyond the solicitor form you fill in: your name and work email, a phone number if you include one, plus whichever business details you pick (your needs, business size, timing, roles, any past refusals, and your note). We also store your IP address, your browser type, the page the form came from, and the time, so we can show the agreement you made, and when.

Our purpose and lawful basis

Your details let us pass your question to a single immigration solicitor firm, which can then contact you. Your consent, given when the form is sent, is one lawful basis. The other is our legitimate interest in recording that consent. Your details are never used for marketing, and you won't be put on a mailing list.

Who gets your details?

• The immigration solicitor firm your referral is passed to. For its own advice, it acts as a controller of your data.
• The form is stored for us by Amazon Web Services, which hosts the site, on servers in the United States and the United Kingdom. The UK International Data Transfer Addendum, part of the AWS data processing terms, covers storage in the United States.

How long do we hold your details?

After you send form details, we hold them for 24 months and then delete them, unless the law says we must keep them longer.

Your rights

You may ask for access, corrections, or deletion of your data. You can also restrict or object to our use of it, get a copy, or withdraw your consent whenever you like. Send your request by post to 1 London Wall, London EC2Y 5AB. Not satisfied with our reply? You can then raise a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Cookies and storage

No cookies are set by SponsorLicence, and it loads no tracking or advertising scripts. Your last answers, from the checker and the calculator, are saved in your browser's local storage, ready for your next visit. Nothing in that storage leaves your device, and it's gone once you clear your browser data.

Immigration advice and referrals

Kensington Guidance Ltd is not regulated to give immigration advice, nor is it a law firm. Under UK rules, only solicitors and barristers may give immigration advice, along with advisers the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA, earlier named the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner or OISC) has registered. General information on the published rules is all that our pages, the checker, and the calculator offer. They don't advise on your own case.

Once you send the form, one immigration solicitor firm receives it from us. A fee may be paid to us by that firm for the referral. You're free to pick any other adviser, and this fee never shows up in what the firm charges you. Referral arrangements are something solicitors must tell you about, under Solicitors Regulation Authority rules.

Terms of use

• GOV.UK is where the site gets its fees, salary thresholds, and dates, and they're checked on a regular basis. Because the Home Office can change these figures at short notice, check the official page linked next to each one before any payment or signature.
• Your answers are run against the published rules by the checker and the calculator. They can't see the full picture of your business, or of your worker.
• For your own business, you may use the site and quote short extracts, as long as the quote links back. Copying whole pages or tables isn't allowed.
• We don't take responsibility for what appears on GOV.UK or on the other sites we link to.
• The law of England and Wales governs these terms.
