# Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when a person visits or uses this public legal profile and legal blog page.
This policy applies only to this website, legal articles, contact forms, inquiry features, and similar public-facing functions. It does not apply to nCase, nCase for Courts, nCase Mobile, or any separate software, platform, account, subscription, client portal, or case management service.
## 1. Information we may collect
When a user visits this page or sends an inquiry, we may collect personal information such as:
* Name;
* Email address;
* Contact number;
* Address or general location, if voluntarily provided;
* Message, inquiry, or concern submitted through the page;
* Attached files or documents, if the page allows uploads; and
* Basic technical information, such as device, browser, and usage data.
Users should avoid sending confidential or highly sensitive case details unless the lawyer or law firm has already agreed to receive and handle the matter.
## 2. How we use the information
Personal information may be used to:
* Respond to inquiries;
* Provide information about legal services;
* Schedule consultations or follow-ups;
* Review whether a legal concern may be accepted;
* Maintain records of communications;
* Improve the website, articles, and contact features;

Submitting an inquiry does not automatically create a lawyer-client relationship.
## 3. Legal basis for processing
Personal information is processed only when there is a lawful basis to do so, such as the user’s consent, the need to respond to a request, compliance with legal obligations, protection of lawful rights and interests, or other grounds allowed by applicable data privacy rules.
## 4. Sharing of information
Personal information will not be sold.
Information may be shared only when necessary, such as with:
* Lawyers, staff, or authorized representatives handling the inquiry;
* Service providers that help operate the page, messaging tools, hosting, email, or related systems;
* Government authorities, courts, or regulators when required by law; or
* Other persons or entities when the user gives consent or when sharing is necessary for a lawful purpose.
## 5. Storage and protection
Reasonable organizational, technical, and security measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
However, users should understand that no online communication system is completely secure. For sensitive matters, users are encouraged to wait for proper consultation channels before sending detailed case information.
## 6. Retention of information
Personal information is kept only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, for legitimate record-keeping, for legal or professional requirements, or for resolving disputes.
When the information is no longer needed, it may be securely deleted, anonymized, or archived as appropriate.
