Privacy Policy
This policy explains what this website does with information about the people who visit it. It concerns the website only.
The short version
This website is a set of static pages. It has no user accounts, no login, no comments and no database. It does not set advertising cookies and does not track you across other websites.
Information you send deliberately
The enquiry form on the Contact page collects three things: your name, your phone number and a short description of your matter. These are transmitted by a third-party form service and delivered to the firm as an email. They are used to telephone or write back to you, and for no other purpose. They are not sold, rented or exchanged.
If you use the WhatsApp button instead, your message and your phone number reach the firm through WhatsApp, and WhatsApp’s own terms and privacy policy apply to that transmission. If you telephone, the firm sees your number in the ordinary way any telephone recipient does.
Please do not send documents or sensitive personal details through the form. Sending a message does not create an advocate–client relationship, and until the firm has agreed to act for you it cannot treat what you send as a privileged communication.
Information stored on your own device
The Bar Council of India acknowledgement is shown each time you open this website. When you accept it, that acceptance is held in your browser’s session storage, so that you are not asked again while you move from page to page. The browser discards it by itself when you close the site, and it is never transmitted anywhere.
Google Analytics, described below, sets two cookies of its own, named _ga and _ga_D89Y18BMVX, which let it tell one visit apart from another. They expire by themselves, and clearing this site’s data in your browser removes them. The site sets no other cookies.
Third parties
A few third parties may be involved when you use this website. The static host that serves these pages will, like any web server, record ordinary request information such as your IP address, the page requested and your browser type, for security and operational purposes. The form service processes an enquiry you choose to submit. The firm uses Google Analytics, a service operated by Google, to count visits and to see which pages are read. It records the pages you open, the approximate area you are in, and the kind of device and browser you use, and it sets the two cookies described above. It is used to understand how the site is used, not to show you advertisements. What Google does with that information is governed by Google’s own privacy policy.
Links to Google Maps and to WhatsApp take you to services operated by other companies, whose own policies then apply.
Retention
Enquiries received by email are retained by the firm for as long as is needed to respond to them and to keep an ordinary record of correspondence, and are subject to the professional obligations that apply to an advocate’s records.
Your requests
You may ask the firm what enquiry information it holds about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, by writing to the chambers at the address or email on the Contact page. Requests are dealt with subject to any professional or legal obligation to retain records.
Changes
This policy may be revised. The version published on this page is the one in force.
