Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our priority. Learn how we protect and handle your personal information.
1. Overview
What This Policy Covers
This Privacy Policy explains how UK Prenup ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, protects, and shares your personal information when you use our prenuptial agreement services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with all applicable UK data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
About UK Prenup
UK Prenup provides a prenuptial agreement service in England & Wales. We help couples document how their assets and debts will be divided before they marry, through our secure online platform: we prepare the agreement from your answers and arrange independent legal advice from solicitors at independent law firms on our panel. UK Prenup is not a law firm and does not give legal advice itself; the advice comes from the solicitor acting for each of you.
Two logins, one agreement
- Each partner has their own login. Both logins link to one shared agreement. There is no joint login.
- The partner who buys the service and starts the agreement (Party 1) confirms their partner's email address and sends the invitation, after verifying their own email address.
- The invitation lets the invited partner (Party 2) do one thing: prove they own that email address by entering a 6-digit code we send to it. They then answer "Is this you?", read their own short terms and the notice for invited partners, and set up their own login. No password is needed. The invitation link then stops working for good, and it never opens the agreement itself.
- After that, each of you signs in separately. Neither of you can sign in as the other, and Party 1 cannot resend, redirect or change Party 2's login or email address.
- Some steps matter in law, and each of you takes them yourself, from your own login, after a fresh sign-in check if you haven't signed in recently: accepting terms, confirming the agreement, recording advice or a decision not to take it, inviting your partner and recording a signing. We record each step against the person who took it.
- Some things are shared between you: the agreement and its versions, the finances it records, the changes asked for and the answers, a neutral progress line and the signing status. Everything else is private to the person it belongs to, including your legal advice, your login details, your sign-in history, and the IP address and device details recorded with each step. Our server decides what each person can see.
- Each of you can download your own information, and close your own account, from Settings. Closing one partner's account never deletes the other partner's copy or the shared record (section 9).
Questions, requests and complaints
You can make a complaint, or a data protection request, using our complaints and requests form, which works without signing in, or by emailing contact@ukprenup.com. We reply within one month.

We collect the following information to prepare prenuptial agreement documents, provide our services, and comply with legal requirements:
Personal Information
- Full name of each partner
- Date of birth
- Email address (to send documents and service communications)
- Home address (for document preparation and delivery, if selected)
- Phone number (optional, for contact if needed)
- The dates you record for signing your agreement, and the version you signed (you sign the printed agreement yourselves; we do not collect your signatures or hold a copy of your signed agreement)
Both Partners' & Financial Data
When preparing a prenuptial agreement, we collect:
- Each partner's full name, date of birth, and address
- Financial disclosure details, including assets, debts, and income, that each partner chooses to include
- Witness details (if required) – you must ensure the witness has consented to their data being shared with us
- Details of any intended date of marriage or other supporting information, where applicable
Payment Information

- Invoice information
Technical Information

- Website usage and session data (e.g. pages visited, time spent)
- Cookies and user preferences (see our Cookies section for more detail)
3. Financial Disclosure Data
We take special care when handling the financial disclosure information that each partner shares as part of a prenuptial agreement. This section explains how we collect, use, and protect this data when providing our prenuptial agreement service.
What Data We Collect
- Each Partner's Information: Full name, date of birth, and address
- Financial Details: Assets, debts, income, and property each partner chooses to disclose
- Signing records: The signing dates each partner records, and the version of the agreement they record signing. We do not hold a copy of your signed agreement.
- Supporting Records: Documentation each partner provides to support their disclosure
- Witness Information: Details of witnesses (when required). You must ensure your chosen witness has consented to their details being provided to us.
Who Provides the Data
- Each partner provides their own information and the disclosure they choose to make.
- Both partners confirm and sign the agreement before marriage.
- Witnesses provide their own details when acting in that role.
- The solicitor advising a partner records their advice session with us (when it was held, and whether they certified the agreement), and may give that partner an advice letter through us.
- In some cases, information may also come via an independent legal adviser instructed by a partner.
Information You Provide About Your Partner
The person who starts the agreement (Party 1) gives us only three things about their partner (Party 2): their name, the email address their invitation goes to, and their date of birth, which we ask Party 2 for again when they set up their login, to check the invitation reached the right person. Party 1 does not give us Party 2's address, occupation, income, assets or debts: Party 2 adds those themselves, from their own login. Where you provide information about your partner:
- We process it to create the prenuptial agreement you have both decided to enter into, and to invite your partner (performance of a contract and our legitimate interest in providing the service).
- By submitting it, you confirm that your partner is aware you are creating the agreement and agrees to you giving us their name, email address and date of birth.
- The completed agreement contains both partners' details and is made available to both of you, each in your own account, so each partner has a copy to review and sign. Your partner is told what you gave us about them, and can check and correct it. The independent solicitor firms advising you and your partner receive it too (see section 6).
- Your partner is a data subject in their own right and may contact us at any time to access, correct, or request erasure of their information, or to object to its processing.
The Record of Each Step
Each of you takes the important steps from your own login: your partner sets up their login from their invitation and accepts their own terms, and either of you may confirm the agreement, ask for changes, record your own legal advice or a decision not to take it, invite your partner or record a signing. For each step we keep a record of:
- the date and time, and how recently that login signed in;
- the login that took it, and the email address it had then;
- the IP address and the browser (user-agent) details of the device used;
- the version of the agreement and the wording shown; and
- what was given at that step, such as the confirmations ticked or the terms version accepted.
We keep this as evidence of how and when each step was taken, so that either of you can show it later that you acted yourself. The login, IP address and device details stay private to the person who took the step. It does not verify anyone's identity. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)): yours, your partner's and ours in a reliable record of the confirmation. We keep it with the prenuptial agreement records, for the same period as the agreement itself (section 8), and never use it for marketing or profiling.
Legal Basis for Processing
- Performance of a Contract – to provide the prenuptial agreement service you request
- Legal Obligation – to comply with applicable record-keeping laws
- Consent – clear consent from each partner to process their financial disclosure information
How We Use Financial Disclosure Data
- To prepare prenuptial agreement documents for both partners
- To reflect each partner's disclosure accurately in the agreement
- To confirm each partner's identity and eligibility
- To communicate with both partners about the service
- To maintain legal and administrative records
Safeguards
- Financial disclosure data is encrypted in transit and at rest
- Access is restricted to designated staff only
- Data is not used for marketing or profiling purposes
- Financial disclosure data is securely deleted once no longer required
Data Retention
We retain prenuptial agreement records only for as long as necessary to provide the service and meet our legal obligations: see section 8. Until our lawyer sets the retention period, we do not delete paid agreements automatically. Before we delete a paid agreement, we will tell both partners and email each of you a final copy of it. We do not hold a copy of your signed agreement, so keep your signed original safe.
Your Rights
Each partner may exercise their data rights in relation to their own information, including the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and objection. Each partner has their own login, downloads their own information and closes their own account; how the shared agreement affects these rights is explained in section 9.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information only for the purposes listed below, and always in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws:
Service Delivery (Legal Basis: Contract)
- Create and process your prenuptial agreement document
- Verify your identity and eligibility
- Process payments securely via our third-party payment provider
- Provide customer support related to the service
- Send service updates and confirmations
- Manage your account preferences
Legal Compliance (Legal Basis: Legal Obligation)

- Ensure document authenticity and validity
Service Improvement (Legal Basis: Legitimate Interests / Contract)
- Analyse website usage patterns to enhance functionality

Note: All analysis is conducted on anonymised or aggregated data wherever possible.
Communications
- Order confirmations, service updates, and important announcements
- Customer service communications related to your requests
- Reminders and offers (marketing), only as set out below
Service emails about your agreement (invitations, sign-in codes, progress, changes, signing and your final copy) are not marketing and are sent to both partners whatever you choose. Emails to an invited partner never include promotions, discount codes or countdowns.
If you bought, or started to buy, from us (Party 1): we may send you occasional reminders about your prenup, such as a nudge to finish your order, a follow-up after you buy and a request for a review. We rely on the "soft opt-in" in the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations: we tell you when you create your account, with a box to say no, and every reminder has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also stop them in Settings at any time.
If you were invited by your partner (Party 2): we never send you marketing unless you opt in, using a separate box in your Settings that starts unticked. You can change your mind at any time.
We record each choice you make, with the date and time, where you made it and the words you were shown. Staff and panel solicitors are never sent marketing.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Under UK GDPR, we must have a legal basis for processing your personal data. Here are the legal bases we rely on:
| Processing Purpose | Legal Basis | GDPR Article | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prenuptial Agreement Creation | Contract Performance | Article 6(1)(b) | Necessary to prepare and deliver your prenuptial agreement documents |
| Identity Verification | Legal Obligation | Article 6(1)(c) | Required to verify identity and prevent fraud related to prenuptial agreement documents |
| Record Keeping | Legal Obligation | Article 6(1)(c) | Maintaining legally required records for prenuptial agreement authenticity and compliance |
| Marketing Communications | Consent | Article 6(1)(a) | Only with your explicit consent; you may withdraw consent at any time |
| Service Improvement | Legitimate Interest | Article 6(1)(f) | Anonymised/aggregated analytics to improve services and user experience |
| Security Monitoring | Legitimate Interest | Article 6(1)(f) | Protect systems, prevent fraud, and monitor service security |
| Partner Confirmation Record | Legitimate Interest | Article 6(1)(f) | A reliable record of how and when your partner confirmed the agreement (time, IP address, browser details, invite address, terms version) |
6. Information Sharing
Our Privacy Commitment
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We share it only with the people who need it to make your agreement: your partner, the independent solicitor firms advising each of you, and the service providers below, and always with appropriate safeguards in place.
Independent Solicitor Firms on Our Panel
Who They Are and What They Receive
Independent legal advice on our packages is given by independent, regulated family-law solicitors on the UK Prenup panel. On the £750 package a panel solicitor advises Party 1; on the £1,300 package a solicitor at a different firm also advises Party 2.
- Each solicitor receives the agreement in each version, both partners' financial disclosure, and both partners' details as the agreement sets them out (names, dates of birth, addresses, occupations and incomes).
- Each solicitor receives their own client's email address and phone number, to arrange the advice session. Party 2's solicitor receives Party 2's only once Party 2 has confirmed their own details.
- A solicitor never receives the other partner's email address or phone number, and never sees the other partner's advice.
Why, and on What Basis
So the solicitor can advise their client on what the agreement means and whether it is in their interests, check their client's identity, and sign the certificate of independent legal advice. Our legal basis is the contract for the service (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)) and the legitimate interests of both partners and of UK Prenup in an agreement made with independent advice (Article 6(1)(f)).
Each Firm Is Responsible for What It Receives
Each firm is a separate controller of the information it receives. It must keep its client's affairs confidential under the SRA's rules, uses the information under its own privacy notice and client-care terms, and keeps its own file for as long as its own rules require.
Each partner's advice is private to them and their own solicitor: their bookings, sessions, which solicitor advises them and the outcome. The other partner, and the other partner's solicitor, see at most whether that partner's advice step is complete. The final agreement includes each solicitor's signed certificate, so it shows who advised each of you.
A firm's access to a matter on our adviser site ends 90 days after both partners have recorded signing the agreement, unless it is changed after that.
The firms on our panel
We name each firm here before it advises anyone. The firm advising you is also named in your account, and in the email that tells you about it, once it is allocated to you.
Which firm advises each partner is private to that partner until the final agreement, which both of you sign, includes each solicitor's signed certificate page.

8. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and to comply with legal obligations.
| Data Type | Retention Period | Reason for Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Prenuptial Agreement Records | Not deleted automatically: our lawyer is setting the period | Either of you may need to show what was agreed, what each of you disclosed and that each of you acted freely. This covers the final agreement, every version issued (with the version code and status printed on it), the finances it relied on, and the changes asked for and made. We do not hold your signed original. Before we delete an agreement, we tell both partners and email each of you a final copy, 30 days before. |
| Partner Confirmation Record | As long as the agreement | Kept with the agreement records (the record of each step, section 3) as evidence of how and when each of you took each step. It is deleted only with the agreement itself, never on its own, and never because one partner closes their account |
| Unpaid Agreement Drafts | 28 days after you started | So you can come back and complete payment without entering your answers again. A draft is kept a little longer only while a payment for it may still be on its way, so that we never take a payment for an agreement we have deleted. |
| Matters That End Before Signing | Reduced 90 days after the matter closes | If an agreement is declined, withdrawn, cancelled or abandoned before you both sign it, we remove Party 2's phone number (and Party 2's email address if they never joined). The rest is kept as an agreement record, above, for refunds, complaints and possible disputes |
| Advice Session Records | As long as the agreement | Kept with the agreement records as evidence that each partner was advised (when, by which panel solicitor, on which version), and to pay the firms. Each panel firm keeps its own file under its own rules, and its access on our adviser site ends 90 days after both partners have recorded signing. If you close your account, our copies of your own advice letters are deleted; the record that advice was given stays |
| Payment Records | 7 years | HMRC requirements for tax and accounting purposes. If an agreement is deleted, we keep only the payment facts (date, amount, package and payment reference) |
| Account Information | Until you close your account; an account that holds no agreement is deleted 3 years after you last sign in | To keep your access to your agreement and provide support. Closing your account deletes your login straight away; the record of each step keeps the email address your login had at the time |
| Website Analytics | 26 months | Standard Google Analytics retention for service improvement |
| Support Communications | 3 years | Quality assurance and training purposes. The IP address and browser details sent with a contact-form message are cleared after 12 months |
| Complaints and Data Protection Requests | 3 years after we close them | To show how we handled them |
| Marketing Choices | Until you close your account | To honour your communication preferences, with the date and time of each choice |
Deleting your data
We delete or reduce personal data when it is no longer needed for the purposes described in this policy and the retention periods above have passed. Before we delete a paid prenuptial agreement, we will tell both partners and email each of you a final copy of the agreement at the verified address on your account. Before we close an account that holds one, we email that partner a final copy. If you placed your order before 21 October 2026, we will not delete your agreement without first giving you notice and emailing you a final copy. If either of you, a solicitor or a court tells us of a dispute or proceedings, we keep the matter until that is resolved. You can also ask us to delete information earlier, subject to any legal, accounting or regulatory obligations that require us to keep certain records for longer.
Each panel firm keeps its own file for as long as its own rules require.
