This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose and otherwise process personal information obtained through the Website. It also explains the choices available to you regarding the processing of your personal information and the measures we take to safeguard it.


As a law firm, confidentiality and trust are fundamental to our practice. We are committed to handling personal information responsibly, transparently and in accordance with applicable law.


This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected through the Website and related online interactions. 


By accessing or using the Website, or by voluntarily providing personal information through it, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

  • any other individual who voluntarily provides personal information through the Website. 


This Privacy Policy applies irrespective of whether you access the Website from within or outside India.


This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected through the Website and does not extend to:

  • personal information processed during the course of legal engagements or professional services provided by SKP; 
  • information processed by third-party websites that may be accessible through links available on the Website; 
  • information collected by social media platforms on which SKP maintains a presence; or 
  • information processed by third parties whose privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies. 


Where a specific service, event or platform is governed by a separate privacy notice, that notice will apply to the extent of any inconsistency.


3. Definitions


For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:


“applicable law” means the laws governing the collection, use, storage, disclosure and processing of personal information, including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, to the extent in force, together with any amendments thereto.


“Personal Information” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.


“Process”, “Processing” or “Processed” means any operation performed on personal information, including collection, recording, organisation, storage, use, retrieval, disclosure, transfer, sharing, modification, deletion or destruction.


“You”, “your” or “user” means any individual accessing or using the Website or otherwise providing personal information through the Website.


4. Information We Collect


The information we collect depends on how you interact with the Website. We collect only such information as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or otherwise required under Applicable Law.


You may choose to provide personal information when you contact us through the Website or by email; subscribe to newsletters, legal updates or other publications; register for seminars, webinars or other events; request information regarding our services; submit feedback; or apply for employment or internship opportunities. 


Depending on the nature of your interaction, we may collect your name, contact information, professional information relevant to your enquiry; the contents of your correspondence and any attachments; and information contained in your résumé, curriculum vitae or job application. 

Where your enquiry concerns a legal matter, we request that you do not include confidential, privileged or commercially sensitive information unless specifically requested by SKP.


Unless specifically requested or required by law, please do not submit financial account information; government-issued identification numbers; passwords or authentication credentials; health or biometric information; information relating to children; or other sensitive personal information. If such information is submitted without being requested, SKP may securely delete or otherwise dispose of it where appropriate and permitted by law.


If you provide personal information relating to another individual, you represent that you are authorised to do so and, where required, have informed that individual of the disclosure.


5. Information Collected Automatically


When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be collected automatically to support its operation, security and performance. This information may include IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, language preferences, date and time of access, pages viewed, referring website, navigation patterns, server logs, and information relating to Website performance and security. 


While this information does not ordinarily identify you directly, it may constitute personal information under applicable law.


We use this information to maintain the security and integrity of the Website, diagnose technical issues, improve Website functionality and performance, understand aggregate visitor behaviour, monitor Website usage, and protect the Website against unauthorised access or misuse. 


We do not ordinarily use this information to identify individual visitors unless necessary for security, operational or legal purposes.


6. Cookies and Similar Technologies


The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, security and user experience.


Cookies are small text files stored on your device that enable websites to recognise returning visitors, remember preferences and generate information regarding Website usage.


Depending on the functionality of the Website, we may use:

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies, which are essential for the operation and security of the Website; 
  • Functional Cookies, which remember user preferences and improve usability; and 
  • Performance and Analytics Cookies, which help us understand how visitors interact with the Website and improve its performance. 


We may also use third-party technologies, such as website hosting or analytics services, that process information collected through cookies in accordance with applicable law and appropriate contractual safeguards.


You may configure your browser to refuse or delete cookies. However, doing so may affect the availability or functionality of certain features of the Website.


7. How We Use Information


We use personal information collected through the Website only for purposes that are consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.


Depending on your interaction with the Website, we may use your information to:

  • respond to your enquiries and requests; 
  • communicate with you regarding our services, publications or events; 
  • provide newsletters, legal updates and other materials that you have requested or agreed to receive; 
  • administer registrations for seminars, webinars and other events; 
  • evaluate applications for employment or internships; 
  • improve the Website, its content and user experience; 
  • maintain the security, integrity and availability of the Website and our      information systems; 
  • detect, prevent and investigate fraud, cyber incidents or unauthorised use of the Website; 
  • comply with legal, regulatory or professional obligations; and 
  • establish, exercise or defend our legal rights. 


We will not use personal information for purposes that are materially inconsistent with those described in this Privacy Policy unless required or permitted by applicable law.


We do not sell, rent or commercially exploit personal information collected through the Website to third parties.


8. Legal Communications and Publications


SKP publishes legal updates, articles, insights, regulatory alerts and other knowledge resources to keep clients, professional contacts and other interested persons informed of significant legal and regulatory developments.


Where you subscribe to our communications or otherwise request to receive them, we may use your contact information to share updates, newsletters and publications, invitations to seminars, webinars and other events, and announcements relating to SKP. 


You may unsubscribe from such communications at any time by using the unsubscribe facility included in the relevant communication or by contacting us using the details set out in this Privacy Policy. Even if you choose not to receive these communications, we may continue to contact you if necessary to respond to your enquiries or to comply with legal, regulatory or professional obligations.


9. Recruitment


Where you apply for employment, internships, secondments or other opportunities through the Website or by using the contact details available on the Website, we may process the information submitted by you for recruitment-related purposes.


Unless otherwise agreed or required by law, recruitment information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for recruitment purposes and related legal or administrative requirements.


10. Disclosure of Information


SKP treats personal information collected through the Website as confidential and will not disclose it except as described in this Privacy Policy or where required or permitted by applicable law.


We may disclose personal information to:

  • partners, lawyers and employees of SKP who require the information to perform their responsibilities; 
  • affiliated offices or entities for legitimate administrative or operational purposes;      
  • professional advisers, including auditors, insurers and consultants; 
  • service providers engaged to support the operation of the Website or our business;      
  • courts, tribunals, regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies where disclosure is required or authorised by law; or 
  • other persons where disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal rights. 


Where practicable, disclosures will be limited to the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. 


SKP does not disclose personal information to third parties for advertising or commercial marketing purposes.


11. Service Providers


SKP may engage third-party service providers to support the operation of the Website and related business functions. These providers may assist with services such as website hosting, cloud infrastructure, email and communication services, IT support, cybersecurity, analytics, event management, and recruitment administration. 


Service providers are permitted to process personal information only to the extent necessary to provide services to SKP and are expected to maintain appropriate standards of confidentiality and security. Where appropriate, SKP seeks to ensure that such providers are bound by contractual obligations governing the protection and use of personal information.


12. Cross-Border Data Transfers


SKP is an Indian law firm that regularly advises clients across multiple jurisdictions. Accordingly, certain technology platforms or service providers supporting the Website may process personal information outside India.


Personal information may therefore be transferred to or processed in another jurisdiction where reasonably necessary for website hosting or cloud infrastructure; email and communication services; analytics or information technology support; or the operation, maintenance or security of the Website. 


Where such transfers occur, SKP takes reasonable steps to ensure that personal information continues to receive an appropriate level of protection consistent with applicable law and our contractual arrangements with relevant service providers.


Nothing in this Privacy Policy should be interpreted as acknowledging that the data protection laws of every jurisdiction apply to the operation of the Website. Where the laws of another jurisdiction apply to a particular interaction, SKP will process personal information in accordance with those legal requirements.


13. Data Security


SKP maintains reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or misuse.


These measures may include:

  • secure information technology infrastructure; 
  • access controls based on business need; 
  • authentication and password management measures; 
  • network and endpoint security controls; 
  • encryption where appropriate; 
  • security monitoring and software updates; and 
  • internal policies governing the handling of confidential information. 


While we endeavour to safeguard personal information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. Accordingly, SKP cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Website.


Users should avoid submitting confidential, privileged or commercially sensitive information through general Website enquiry forms unless specifically requested to do so.


14. Data Retention


SKP retains personal information collected through the Website only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required or permitted by applicable law.


The period for which information is retained will depend on several factors such as the purpose for which it was collected; the nature of the interaction with SKP; applicable legal or regulatory requirements; professional obligations applicable to law firms; and the need to establish, exercise or defend legal rights. 


When personal information is no longer required, SKP will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymise or otherwise dispose of it. Certain information may be retained for longer periods where necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, maintain security and audit records, investigate misuse of the Website, resolve disputes or protect SKP's legal rights.


15. Third-Party Websites


The Website may contain links to third-party websites, applications or online resources provided for your convenience or information.


These websites are independent of SKP and are governed by their own terms of use and privacy policies. SKP does not control or endorse such websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, security or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the applicable terms and privacy policies before providing personal information to any third-party website.


16. Access, Correction and Other Rights


Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction or updating of the personal information that you have voluntarily provided through the Website.


You may also request that we discontinue sending newsletters, legal updates, event invitations or similar communications by using the unsubscribe facility included in the relevant communication or by contacting us using the details below. SKP will consider and respond to requests relating to personal information in accordance with applicable law.


Please note that we may decline or limit a request where:

  • retention of the information is required by law; 
  • the information is required to establish, exercise or defend legal rights; 
  • compliance with the request would adversely affect the rights or interests of another person; or 
  • the request is otherwise restricted under applicable law. 


Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any rights or obligations available under applicable law.


17. International Visitors


SKP is an Indian law firm and the Website is owned and operated from India.


The Website is intended to provide information regarding SKP and its professional services to users in India and internationally. Personal information collected through the Website is primarily processed in accordance with applicable Indian law.


Given the international nature of our practice, certain interactions may involve individuals or service providers located outside India. Where the laws of another jurisdiction apply to a particular interaction or activity, SKP will process personal information in accordance with those legal requirements.


Nothing in this Privacy Policy should be interpreted as an acknowledgement that the laws of any foreign jurisdiction apply generally to the operation of the Website.


18. Changes to this Privacy Policy


SKP may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, technology, our professional practices or the operation of the Website.


The revised Privacy Policy will be published on the Website together with the updated Effective Date and will become effective upon publication unless otherwise stated.


We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how we process personal information.


19. Contact Us
