How this website handles your information.
A plain description of what is collected when you use this website, why, and what happens to it.
Scope of this policy
This policy covers the website at https://waqaslawfirm.com. It describes information collected through the site itself.
It does not cover information you provide to the firm once you become a client. Client information is governed by the firm’s professional duty of confidentiality, which is considerably broader than this policy.
Information collected through the contact form
If you submit the consultation form, the following is sent to the firm so that your enquiry can be answered:
- Your name
- Your phone number
- Your email address, if you choose to provide one
- The area of law you select
- Your preferred contact method and preferred consultation time, if provided
- The description of your matter that you write
This information is used only to respond to your enquiry and to arrange a consultation. It is not sold, rented or shared for marketing, and the firm does not add enquiries to a mailing list.
Please do not include confidential or highly sensitive details in the form. A short summary is enough to arrange a consultation, and the detail is better discussed in person.
How form submissions are delivered
This website is a static site with no database. Form submissions are passed to a third-party form delivery service, which forwards the message to the firm’s email address. The firm does not store submissions on this website.
That service processes the message in order to deliver it and is subject to its own privacy terms. The specific service in use can be confirmed by contacting the office.
Analytics
The firm may use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful to visitors — for example how many people read a particular guide, or which practice area pages are most visited.
Where analytics is enabled it is configured with IP anonymisation, and with advertising and personalisation signals switched off. It records events such as a page view or a click on the phone, WhatsApp or consultation buttons. It does not record the content you type into the contact form.
Most browsers offer a "do not track" or analytics-blocking option, and Google publishes an opt-out browser add-on for its analytics.
Third-party content
The contact and location pages embed a Google Map so that you can find the office. Loading a map involves a request to Google, which is subject to Google’s own privacy terms. The map is loaded lazily, so no request is made unless you scroll to it.
Links to WhatsApp, the phone dialler and email open in your own applications, and the firm receives only what you choose to send.
Keeping and removing information
Enquiries are kept for as long as needed to respond to them and to maintain a record of matters the firm has been asked about. Enquiries that do not become instructions are not retained indefinitely.
If you would like your enquiry removed from the firm’s records, write to waqaslawfirm@gmail.com and it will be dealt with.
Security
This website is served over HTTPS, so information you submit is encrypted in transit. No method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure, however, which is the practical reason for asking you not to send sensitive material through the form.
