Privacy Policy

Information you give us:

• Contact form and consultation requests — your name, email address, phone number, subject, type of matter, message and, for consultations, your preferred date and time.
• Internship applications — your name, date of birth, gender, contact details, current and permanent address, academic details, skills, languages, availability, previous internships and the details of any reference you name. Please name a reference only with their consent.

Information collected automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider records standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies.

Third-party content: updates on the News page are embedded from LinkedIn, and website fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. When these load, LinkedIn and Google may receive your IP address and may set their own cookies, under their own privacy policies.

• To respond to your enquiry and arrange a consultation.
• To consider internship applications.
• To keep appropriate records and meet our legal and professional obligations.
• To keep this website secure and working properly.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for marketing.

Messages sent through this website are delivered to the Office by an email delivery service provider, and the website is run by a hosting provider. They process your information only to provide those services.

We may also disclose information where required by law, by a court or by a competent authority. Otherwise, we do not share your personal information with anyone.

Please do not send confidential or sensitive details of a legal matter through this website. Contacting us through the website does not create an advocate–client relationship — see our Terms of Service. We will tell you how to share documents securely once we are able to act for you.

We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes above, or for longer where the law requires. Internship applications are kept for as long as needed to consider them and for a reasonable period afterwards, unless you ask us to delete yours sooner.

We follow reasonable security practices to protect personal information, in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules made under it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or withdraw any consent you have given, subject to applicable law — including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 as its provisions come into force. Write to us using the details below and we will respond within a reasonable time.

This website is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without the involvement of a parent or guardian.

For any question or concern about this policy or your personal information, please write to virensibal@gmail.com or to the Office of Viren Sibal, 231, Sector 11-A, Chandigarh 160011.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
