Data We Collect

Enquiry form: when a user submits an enquiry, the firm collects the name, email address, telephone number (optional), subject, and message voluntarily provided, together with the page from which the enquiry was made.

Technical data: the website's hosting infrastructure may record standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and access timestamps) for security and operational purposes. The website does not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics cookies.

Purpose and Legal Basis

Personal data submitted through the enquiry form is processed solely to review, respond to, and correspond regarding the enquiry, on the basis of the user's consent given at the time of submission. Data is not used for marketing, is not sold, and is not shared with third parties except as described below or as required by law.

Storage, Processors, and Security

Enquiry data is stored with the firm's infrastructure providers, which act as data processors: Supabase (database hosting) and Vercel (website hosting). Content published on the website is managed through Sanity (content management). These providers may store data on servers located outside India, subject to their own security certifications and contractual safeguards.

The firm follows reasonable security practices and procedures consistent with Section 43A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the SPDI Rules, 2011, including transport-layer encryption, access controls restricted to authorised personnel, and row-level security on stored enquiries.

Retention

Enquiry data is retained for as long as reasonably necessary to address the enquiry and for a period thereafter consistent with the firm's professional record-keeping obligations, after which it is deleted or anonymised. Users may request earlier erasure as described below.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, users may request access to, correction of, or erasure of their personal data; may withdraw consent to processing; and may nominate another individual to exercise these rights in the event of death or incapacity, in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Requests may be addressed to the firm at the email address published on the Contact page. The firm will acknowledge and address grievances within the timelines prescribed under applicable law. Users who remain unsatisfied may approach the Data Protection Board of India.

Users who prefer not to use third-party channels may write to the firm directly by email.
