We handle personal information in accordance with applicable Indian law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, applicable rules, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and rules, to the extent applicable and in force. This policy describes intended practices; actual compliance also depends on the Firm's systems and operations.

2. How We Collect Information
We may collect information through Website forms, appointment or consultation requests, document submissions, telephone calls, email, WhatsApp or other communications, recruitment forms, cookies and server logs, and other direct interactions with the Firm.
3. Purposes of Processing
We may use personal information, as applicable, to respond to enquiries; arrange consultations and appointments; understand and assess a legal request; provide or administer accepted professional services; prepare or review legal documents; conduct property-document or title-related reviews; communicate about matters; manage recruitment and internship applications; maintain professional and administrative records; meet legal and regulatory duties; protect Website and service security; prevent misuse or fraud; improve Website operation; and handle complaints, disputes, or lawful requests.
We will not knowingly use personal information for a purpose incompatible with the purpose disclosed at collection, except as permitted by applicable law.
4. Legal Grounds and Consent
Depending on the processing and applicable law, we may rely on consent, voluntary provision of information for a specified purpose recognised by law, compliance with legal obligations, or another lawful permitted use. Where consent is required, we will seek it in the legally prescribed manner. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it as permitted by law. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully completed before withdrawal and may affect our ability to respond to or continue a requested service.
5. Confidentiality of Legal Communications
Legal enquiries and engagements may contain confidential personal, family, financial, commercial, or dispute-related information. We take reasonable steps to restrict access to authorised persons who need the information for legitimate professional or operational purposes and handle accepted engagements subject to applicable legal and professional confidentiality obligations.
Sending an enquiry, email, message, or document through the Website does not by itself establish an advocate-client relationship or guarantee that the communication is protected by legal professional privilege. Please do not send highly confidential or privileged material through a general form until the Firm has confirmed the appropriate engagement and communication arrangements.
6. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share information, only as appropriate and subject to applicable law, with authorised website hosting, email, communication, security, technical-support, storage, document-management, or other service providers; professional advisers or experts involved in an authorised engagement; or courts, regulators, government authorities, or other persons where disclosure is required or permitted by law. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights, address fraud or security incidents, or protect individuals, subject to confidentiality duties and applicable law.
7. Cookies and Analytics
The Website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, security, preferences, performance measurement, and usage analytics. Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies or tracking, an appropriate consent mechanism should be used. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, although disabling some cookies may affect Website functionality. Third-party tools, if enabled, may process information under their own privacy notices.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, professional and statutory record-keeping, ongoing engagements, dispute resolution, security, and compliance with applicable obligations. Retention periods may vary by matter and legal requirement. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to erase or securely dispose of it, unless retention is required or permitted by law.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure, misuse, or destruction. Measures may include access controls, authentication, secure hosting, updates, and confidentiality practices. No electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. If a personal data breach occurs, we will take appropriate steps as required by applicable law.
10. Your Rights and Requests
Subject to the applicability and commencement of relevant legal provisions, you may have rights to access information about personal data processing, seek correction or completion, request erasure where legally permissible, withdraw consent where applicable, raise a grievance, nominate another person where recognised by law, and pursue available statutory remedies.

12. Children's Information
The Website is not specifically directed to children. We do not knowingly process children's personal data in violation of applicable law. If information about a child is required for a legal matter, it should be provided by an appropriately authorised parent, guardian, or lawful representative, and any applicable consent or additional safeguards will be followed.

We may contact you about your enquiry, consultation, requested services, ongoing matter, or administrative and legally required updates.
