What we collect
For advocate listings: name, enrollment number, State Bar Council, High Court(s) and bench, city, practice areas, qualifications, and — only if voluntarily provided by the advocate — chambers address, public email, public phone, website, languages, and a photograph. A registered mobile number is collected to verify listing ownership by OTP. An optional certificate, if uploaded, is stored privately and never shown publicly.
For visitors who choose to reveal an advocate’s opt-in contact details: a verification of your mobile number by OTP, and an event record (date/time, the advocate’s enrollment number, High Court and practice area). Your mobile number is stored only in one-way hashed form for anti-abuse purposes and is never displayed or sold.
How we use it
Contact details are used only to display the listing. We do not use listing or visitor data for marketing. No promotional messages, campaigns, or outreach are sent from this data. If, in future, any optional communications feature is introduced, it will operate only on the basis of a separate, opt-in consent that is unticked by default.
Legal basis, retention, your rights
Consent and, where applicable, publicly available information. You may request access, correction, or erasure of your data, or withdrawal of consent, at any time; requests are honoured within 72 hours. Use the removal / correction request page.
