This Privacy Policy details our practices concerning the collection, storage, processing, and protection of data provided by corporate clients, builders, financial institutions, and individuals seeking legal, corporate, and statutory licensing advisory.

1. Information We Collect

To execute legal opinions, statutory filings, and government portal registrations, we may collect:

Personal & Professional Coordinates: Full name, authorized signatory designation, phone/WhatsApp number, and official email address.
Statutory Identification Proofs: PAN, Aadhaar, Director Identification Numbers (DIN), Digital Signature Certificates (DSC), and enterprise incorporation charters (COI/MOA/AOA).

Taxation & Financial Data: Income tax returns, balance sheets, GST invoices, and bank transaction statements required for tax assessments and compliance filings.

2. Purpose of Data Utilization

We utilize your confidential data strictly for legitimate professional purposes:

Filing and processing statutory applications on official government portals (MCA, GSTN, Income Tax, FoSCoS, Udyam, IP India, RERA).
Drafting legal scrutiny reports (LSR), title clearance certificates (TCC), search reports, and legal agreements.
Communicating regulatory updates, filing acknowledgments, statutory notice responses, and compliance deadlines.

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade client personal or commercial data to any third-party marketing or advertising networks under any circumstances.

4. Lawful Disclosures & Government Submissions

Disclosures of your documents are conducted exclusively when mandated by statutory filing procedures (such as presenting title documents before Sub-Registrar Offices, filing returns on the Income Tax / GST portal, or under explicit judicial orders issued by a competent court of law or regulatory authority).

5. Digital Security & Storage Protocols

We implement industry-grade technical and organizational safeguards including encrypted transmissions (SSL/TLS), access-controlled local servers, and restricted advocate-only file handling to prevent unauthorized access, loss, or alteration of sensitive financial and property data.

Clients retain the right to review, update, or request the secure deletion of their preliminary inquiry records, subject to statutory document retention requirements mandated by the Companies Act, Income Tax Act, and legal registry regulations.
