Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, protect, and respect your personal information when you interact with this website.
Our Commitment: Adv. KaranDeep is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of everyone who interacts with this website. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it — in plain language.
1. Who We Are
This website is operated by Adv. KaranDeep Singh, an advocate enrolled with the Bar Council of Punjab & Haryana, with chambers at the Punjab & Haryana High Court, Chandigarh, and office at Office-1023, Sector 21-B, Chandigarh – 160022.
“We”, “us”, and “our” refer to Adv. KaranDeep Singh and this law practice. “You” refers to any person who visits or interacts with this website. This policy is published in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011.
2. What Information We Collect
When you fill in the contact form, call, WhatsApp, or email us, you may provide your name, phone number, email address, city or country of residence, the type of legal matter, your preferred consultation mode, and a brief description of your situation.
Standard technical information (IP address, browser type, pages visited, device type, and referring page) may be collected automatically by our hosting provider's server logs. This website does not currently run any third-party analytics, advertising cookies, or tracking pixels. If that changes in future, this policy will be updated to describe exactly which tool is added and why.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide solely to:
- Respond to your enquiry and schedule a consultation
- Manage and progress your legal matter, once an advocate-client relationship is established
- Send you relevant updates about your enquiry, appointment, or case
- Comply with applicable law, court order, or Bar Council regulations
We do not use your information for marketing or advertising, and we do not sell, rent, or trade it to any third party.
4. How Your Enquiry Reaches Us
When you submit the contact form on this website, it is sent directly to our email inbox via a transactional email service (we currently use Resend). The submission is not stored in a public or third-party database, and it is not visible to anyone browsing the website.
5. Confidentiality of Legal Matters
Information shared with an advocate in the context of seeking legal advice is protected by professional privilege under Indian law once a formal advocate-client relationship is established, in accordance with the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules.
Communications sent through this website's contact form before a formal advocate-client relationship is established are not automatically covered by legal professional privilege. Please exercise discretion in what you share through this form, and avoid sending sensitive documents here.
6. Who We Share Your Information With
We do not share your personal information with third parties except:
- With your explicit consent
- Where required by applicable law, judicial order, or regulatory requirement
- With technical service providers (our email delivery and hosting providers) strictly to operate this website, under their own confidentiality and security obligations
We never sell your data, and we never share it with marketers or data brokers.
7. Data Retention
Contact form enquiries that do not result in a formal engagement are retained only as long as needed to respond to you, and are deleted from our inbox once resolved. Client files, once a formal engagement is established, are retained per applicable professional standards.
8. Cookies and Browser Storage
This website uses one piece of browser storage: a session-scoped flag that remembers you have acknowledged the legal disclaimer during your current visit. It is cleared automatically when you close your browser and is never shared or used to track you.
This website does not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics.
9. Your Rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, and you may withdraw consent or object to processing at any time by contacting us at advocatekd24@gmail.com or calling +91 62394 82847. We will respond within 30 days.
10. Data Security
This website is served over HTTPS. Access to enquiry emails is limited to those who need it to respond to you, and we do not ask you to submit sensitive financial or identification documents through this website. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
12. Third-Party Websites & WhatsApp
This website may link to external sites such as government court portals or WhatsApp. This policy applies only to this website; we are not responsible for third-party privacy practices. WhatsApp communications are governed by WhatsApp's own privacy policy (Meta Platforms, Inc.), and messages sent over WhatsApp are not covered by advocate-client privilege until a formal engagement is established.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date above will reflect any revisions.
14. Governing Law
This policy is governed by the laws of India. Disputes arising out of this policy are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Chandigarh, India.
