1. Who we are

APK Socii Legales ("the chamber", "we") is a chamber of advocates at Chamber No. 11, Ground Floor, S Block, Gate No. 12, Delhi High Court, New Delhi 110003. We decide how the personal data described here is used, and we are responsible for it.

This policy covers www.apksociilegales.com and the enquiry form on it. Once you engage us on a matter, your information is also governed by the terms of that engagement and by our professional duty of confidentiality.

2. What we collect

When you send an enquiry through the form, we receive:

• your full name and phone number
• your email address, if you give it
• how you would like to meet (at the chamber, by video call or by phone)
• the area of law and a short description of your matter
• your confirmation of the statement at the end of the form

When you call, email or message us on WhatsApp, we receive what you choose to share.

When you visit the website, our website host, Zoho, records technical details such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you view, to keep the site secure and to count visits. We use no other analytics or tracking. The map on our Contact page is provided by Google, which may receive similar details from your device under Google's own privacy policy.

Please share only what we need to understand your matter. Do not send original documents, identity numbers, medical records or other sensitive details through the form; we will ask for what we need at the consultation.

3. Why we use it

We use your information only to:

• reply to your enquiry and arrange a consultation
• check for conflicts of interest before we take on a matter
• keep a record of the enquiries we receive
• keep the website secure and working

We use it because you chose to share it with us for these purposes, and on the basis of the consent you give when you submit the form. We do not sell your information, use it for marketing or advertising, or share it with anyone for those purposes.

4. Who can see it, and where it is kept

Your information is seen only by:

• the advocates and staff of the chamber who handle enquiries
• Zoho Corporation, which hosts our website and stores form enquiries for us
• Google, which provides our email (Officeofapk@gmail.com) and the map on our Contact page
• a court, regulator or other authority, where the law requires us to disclose it

Zoho and Google act on our instructions and are bound by their own security and privacy terms. We do not share your information with anyone else.

Zoho stores our website data in its India data centre. Email held by Google may be stored on servers outside India.

5. How long we keep it

If your enquiry does not lead to us acting for you, we delete it from our website records and our inbox within 12 months of receiving it.

If we act for you, your enquiry becomes part of your matter file. We keep that file for as long as the matter runs and afterwards for as long as our professional and legal obligations require.

6. Your rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask us to:

• tell you what personal data we hold about you and how we use it
• correct, complete or update it
• erase it, unless we must keep it by law or for a matter we are handling for you
• stop using it, by withdrawing your consent (this does not affect what we did before you withdrew it)
• act on the request of a person you nominate, if you die or become unable to act

To make a request, write to the contact in section 9. We will reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

7. Cookies

Our website uses only the cookies it needs to work and to count visits, set by our host, Zoho. The Google map on our Contact page may set Google's own cookies. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

8. Other things you should know

• Children. The enquiry form is meant for adults. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to contact us for you.
• Security. Enquiries reach us over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and only the chamber's advocates and staff can open them. Our accounts are protected with two-step verification.
• Confidentiality. We treat what you tell us in confidence. Sending an enquiry does not by itself create an advocate–client relationship.
• Changes. If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this policy.
