Last updated: December 15, 2024
Introduction
At LNN Legal – Advocates & Solicitors ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining the confidentiality of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at lnnlegal.in or engage with our legal services. As legal professionals, we understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality, and we adhere to the highest standards of data protection in accordance with applicable Indian laws, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011.
Information We Collect
We collect various types of information to provide you with comprehensive legal services and maintain effective communication. Personal information includes your name, email address, phone number, postal address, and any other information you voluntarily provide when contacting us for legal consultation or services. We may also collect information about your legal matters, case details, and any documents you share with us in the course of our attorney-client relationship.
Additionally, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This information helps us improve our website's functionality and user experience while maintaining security protocols.
We may also collect information from third-party sources, such as public records, court filings, or other legal databases, when necessary for providing legal services or conducting due diligence as part of our professional obligations.
How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information primarily to provide legal services, maintain attorney-client communications, and fulfill our professional obligations. This includes analyzing your legal matters, preparing legal documents, representing you in court proceedings, and providing legal advice and consultation. We also use your information to schedule appointments, send important updates about your cases, and maintain our professional relationship.
Your information may be used for administrative purposes, including billing, payment processing, and maintaining our client records in accordance with legal and professional requirements. We may also use aggregated, anonymized data for internal analysis, improving our services, and developing legal insights that benefit our practice and clients.
In certain circumstances, we may use your information to comply with legal obligations, respond to court orders or subpoenas, or protect our rights and interests in legal proceedings. We will always strive to minimize the disclosure of confidential information and maintain the attorney-client privilege to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We maintain strict confidentiality regarding your personal information and legal matters. We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. However, we may share your information in specific circumstances that are essential for providing legal services or required by law.
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our clients, such as IT service providers, document management systems, or court filing services. These third parties are bound by confidentiality agreements and are prohibited from using your information for any purpose other than providing services to us.
We may disclose your information when required by law, court order, or legal process, or when necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our clients or others. We may also share information with other legal professionals, experts, or consultants when necessary for your case, always maintaining appropriate confidentiality protections.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our practice, your information may be transferred as part of the business transaction, but we will ensure that the acquiring entity maintains the same level of privacy protection and confidentiality obligations.
Data Security and Protection
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security protocols include encryption of sensitive data, secure servers, regular security audits, and restricted access to personal information on a need-to-know basis.
All our staff members are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are trained in data protection practices. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information, including secure file storage, encrypted communications, and secure disposal of confidential documents.
While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously review and update our security measures to address emerging threats and maintain the highest standards of data protection.
