1. INTRODUCTION
LawTattva Law Offices ("LawTattva", "Firm", "we", "us or "our") respects the privacy and confidentiality of individuals whose personal data is shared with us.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, receive, use, store, disclose, protect and otherwise process personal data through our website, www.lawtattva.com ("Website"), and in connection with our legal services, professional communications, enquiries, consultations and other interactions with us.
As a law firm, we recognise that information shared with us may include personal, professional, financial, commercial, legal and case-related information. We therefore seek to handle such information with appropriate confidentiality, care and security, subject to applicable law, professional obligations and the nature of the engagement.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with any engagement letter, terms of engagement, confidentiality arrangements, notices or other contractual terms applicable to a particular client or matter.

2. IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ADVOCATE–CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
Information submitted through this Website, including through an enquiry form, email, telephone number, consultation request or other communication channel, does not by itself create an advocate–client relationship between you and LawTattva Law Offices or any individual associated with the Firm.
An advocate–client relationship is established only after the Firm has completed its internal processes, including, where applicable, conflict checks, assessment of the matter, acceptance of the engagement and execution or issuance of appropriate engagement documentation.
Accordingly, visitors and prospective clients should avoid submitting highly sensitive or confidential information through publicly accessible Website forms unless specifically requested by the Firm.
The transmission of information through the internet or an online enquiry form may not be secure in all circumstances.
