We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect this information (see our Cookies Policy for more details).
• Third-Party Sources: In some cases, we may receive information about you from third-party sources, such as public records, court documents, or referral partners. We only collect data from reputable sources and ensure that we have a lawful basis for processing it.

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

• Providing Legal Services: To assess your legal needs, represent you in legal matters, communicate with you about your case, and provide you with legal advice and services.

We will only use your personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal data for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal data very seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption technologies to protect sensitive data during transmission and storage.

• Employee Training: We train our employees on data privacy and security best practices.
• Physical Security: We maintain secure physical facilities to protect our servers and data storage equipment.

While we strive to protect your personal data, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

Data Retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances, we may anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
