Privacy & Cookies Policy
Introduction
At Samoon & Associates, a law practice based in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains, in simple terms, how we collect, use, and safeguard your information, including through cookies on our website, SamoonLaw.com. It aligns with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) and, where relevant, international laws like the GDPR for our rare overseas clients (e.g., NRIs or foreign nationals). We’ll update this policy as needed and post changes here. This entire policy, or any part hereof, is subject to updates and changes, as required and necessary or directed, as per law, as per technological changes, or otherwise as applicable.
What Data Do We / Do We Not Collect?
Data in this context means data collected by us or transmitted / sent by you, through the website, and primarily refers to only this website data, unless the context specifies otherwise.
Personal data is any information that identifies you, like your name or email. We collect it in these ways:
- When You Reach Out: If you contact us, for any purpose, such as to engage our legal services, or apply for any opportunities, you might share details like your name, phone number, email, address, job title and so on. Prior to contacting us and (if applicable) engaging our services, we strongly discourage and prohibit the transmission or sharing of any data by you, which would include any information or details which you would want to keep private or sharing of which is not in consonance with the law for the time being in force. Whatever data you share is entirely up to you, and there are very limited ways to share any information directly through this website, and the same is allowed only in text through the queries form. No file or attachment sharing is allowed either, directly through the website. However, if you have any specific privacy concerns, or would like to protect your identity, and / or do not agree with the policies, you have the clear and final option available, of not using the site at all or any kind of contact method, and you can refuse to share any information or details that you do not want to share, or use an anonymized email, or pseudonym, so on and so forth. There are multiple ways to protect your data and privacy, and while we do your best to preserve and protect it, and uphold the best of legal standards in data privacy and safety, you must also apply your mind and exercise due diligence, and agree to the terms / disclaimer, before using this website.
- Website Visits: When you use SamoonLaw.com, we collect some data automatically through cookies (see below in relevant section).
- Other Sources: We might use public records or details you provide during any legal work you may wish to pursue later, for instance any legal briefs or trademark applications and so on.
- Standard Data Sharing Restrictions: Only text data through the queries from can be shared from the website directly. Any of the above mentioned documents or files and so on, cannot be shared directly through the website, due to data / file sharing restrictions in place, any attachments are not allowed, but in whatever other manner you deem fit to share them later on as needed and applicable, we use and store website data only to the extent that is legally applicable and permissible, and anything additionally to be stored or preserved through any other third party platform or mode, has to be by your consent and any such usage / storage / preservation has to be consensual and in compliance with specific laws on the subject, as well as all laws applicable for the time being in force. For any data, other than the basic text based website data, that you share / transmit / send / deliver, you would need to sign an express agreement with us, for any storage, preservation or use of that data / information / files and so on. The usage of this site or any basic data sent through the query form, or any other unsolicited sharing of data in any manner, through the site or any third party platform does not constitute and does not create any kind of client – attorney relationship or privileges arising therefrom.
Examples of text based data through the queries form, or otherwise, include name, your contact info (phone, email), any information or details you choose to provide, or basic website usage stats (e.g., pages visited), and so on.
Cookies: What Are They and How Do We Use Them?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device to help SamoonLaw.com work better. Here’s what we use, based on our website provider GoDaddy (Airo):
- Essential Cookies: These make the site function—like keeping it running smoothly or remembering your popup choice and consent to disclaimer terms. They’re always on and don’t need consent.
- Example: A cookie stores your “Accept” or “Disagree” choice from the popup so it only shows once.
- Analytics Cookies: These help us understand how people use the site (e.g., how many visitors, which pages are popular). GoDaddy provides these basic stats, and they don’t track you personally—just patterns.
- Social Media Links: Our buttons (e.g., to LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook) are simple redirects—no tracking on our site. If you click them, those platforms might set their own cookies, but that’s outside our control. These are called third party cookies.
How It Works: The first time you visit, a popup asks you to accept the disclaimer terms and accept cookies. If you say “Accept,” a permanent cookie saves that choice, and the popup won’t show again unless you clear your cookies. If you say “Disagree,” we limit non-essential cookies (like analytics), but essential ones stay for site functionality.
Why and How We Use Your Data
We only use your data for our work as a law practice, including:
- Legal Services: If you decide to contact us, or to share any information, or to later on engage our services: to handle your case, drafts, documents, or files, apply for trademarks, and so on.
- Keeping in Touch: To respond to your queries or update you if you’ve asked us to.
- Website Improvement: Analytics cookies help us make SamoonLaw.com better.
- Legal Duties: To meet court or regulatory requirements, as per law, and make the website compliant with law and rules, for the time being in force, as much as possible, to keep in sync with any required technological, legal, compliance or regulatory changes or updates.
We do this based entirely on your consent (e.g., filling out a form), as per your acceptance of disclaimer and all other terms and conditions for usage of the website, and if applicable, any further / future professional agreement with you, or any legal obligations. As advocates, we don’t use your data to market or sell anything—that’s against BCI rules.
Protecting Your Data (Security and Confidentiality)
Your trust matters to us. We:
- Use secure systems (like GoDaddy’s hosting and security suites) to prevent data loss or misuse.
- If applicable, keep any client details confidential, as required by law and our advocate’s duty. This means we don’t share your case info unless you agree or a court orders it.
Sharing Your Data: Who Sees It?
Sometimes, we need to share data, but only when necessary:
- Legal Work: If and As Applicable, with courts, other lawyers, or authorities involved in your case, by way of legal requirements such as service and so on.
- Service Providers: GoDaddy (for the website), Microsoft 365 (for email), or similar tools we use to run our practice may run standard and anonymized analytics.
- Compliance: With advisers (e.g., auditors) if required by law.
We ensure anyone we share with follows strict rules to keep your data safe. For rare international clients, we may transfer data abroad (e.g., to an NRI’s country), but only with proper safeguards, and in compliance with municipal laws as well as international laws, if any, as applicable.
How Long Do We Keep It?
We hold onto your data only as long as needed:
- If applicable, for any legal cases, as required by law or your matter or as per your needs.
- Website data (like analytics) for a reasonable time to improve the site, then it’s deleted.
- The popup cookie stays permanently unless you clear it from your web browser settings. Consent regarding the disclaimer notice is necessary and essential, and without providing this consent you should not and are not allowed to use the website.
Your Rights: What You Can Do
Under the DPDP Act (and GDPR if you’re abroad), you have rights to:
- See Your Data: Ask us what we have about you.
- Fix It: Correct anything wrong or incomplete.
- Delete It: Request removal, unless we need it for legal reasons.
- Limit Use: Tell us to stop using it in certain ways.
- Withdraw Consent: Change your mind about using the site or sharing any data (e.g., via the disclaimer popup), for which you will have to delete our cookies from your browser settings.
- Complain: Contact India’s Data Protection Board or your local authority if you’re unhappy.
Reach out to us below to use these rights. Note: Some limits apply, like keeping case data for legal privilege.
No Automated Decisions
We don’t use machines to make decisions about you or profile you based on your data. Everything is handled by people.
Managing Cookies: Your Choices
You’re in control of cookies:
- Popup: It shows once. “Accept” lets all cookies run; “Disagree” skips analytics but keeps essentials / consent. A cookie saves your choice forever unless you clear it.
