Privacy Policy

Information we may receive

Information may include a person’s name, email address, telephone or WhatsApp number, city and country, organisation, preferred contact method and the details voluntarily provided in an enquiry.

An enquiry may also identify opposing parties, courts, authorities, regulators, property locations, important dates and a general description of the matter. Please do not submit confidential, privileged or original documents before the firm confirms that it can act.

Technical and analytics data

The website uses privacy-conscious, first-party analytics to understand page views and approximate visitor numbers. The analytics record may include the page viewed, time of visit, approximate country, device category and the referring website’s domain. A protected pseudonymous identifier is derived to estimate unique visitors; the analytics table does not store the visitor’s raw IP address. Hosting and security systems may separately process technical logs where necessary to operate and protect the website.

Why information may be used

Information may be used to:

• review and respond to an enquiry;
• identify the principal parties for a conflict check;
• arrange a consultation or request clarification;
• maintain appropriate enquiry and business records;
• protect the website and investigate misuse;
• comply with professional or legal obligations; and
• send updates where the person has requested them and the subscription function has been activated.

Service providers and disclosures

The firm may use approved providers for website hosting, form delivery, email, document sharing, analytics, security or practice management. Such providers should receive only the information reasonably required for their role and be selected subject to appropriate legal and security review. Information may also be disclosed where required by law, professional obligation or a lawful authority.

Security and data protection

The firm intends to use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the website and the information handled. No certification, encryption standard or particular safeguard is claimed by this draft policy. The production hosting, form destination and document-sharing arrangements must be verified before publication.

Retention

Information should be retained only for as long as reasonably required for the enquiry, conflict checking, recordkeeping, professional obligations, dispute management or other lawful purposes. Specific retention periods must be approved as part of the final website and practice-management review.

Cookies and external links

The current first-party analytics system does not place analytics cookies. Essential authentication cookies may be used if an authorised person signs in to a restricted website area. Third-party websites have their own privacy practices, which the firm does not control.

Requests concerning information

A person may contact the firm to ask about personal information submitted through the website or to request correction or deletion. The firm may need to verify identity and may retain information where required for conflicts, legal, professional or recordkeeping purposes.

Updates and contact

This policy may be updated when the website, service providers or legal requirements change. Privacy questions may be sent to salman.owaisi@sjlegalservices.com. The final privacy contact and effective date must be confirmed before publication.
