1. Introduction

LegumNorth Global - Advocates & Advisors (“LegumNorth Global”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects the privacy of persons who access or communicate through this website.

This Privacy Policy explains how information relating to an identifiable individual may be collected, received, used, stored, disclosed or otherwise processed in connection with https://www.legumnorth.com and communications made through or in relation to the website.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Legal Notices, Disclaimer, Cookie Policy and Terms of Use, where applicable.

By using this website or voluntarily providing information through it, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

2. Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected or received through this website, including information voluntarily provided through contact forms, enquiry forms, email communications and other electronic communications relating to the website.

This Privacy Policy does not necessarily apply to information processed pursuant to a separate professional engagement, retainer, transaction, litigation matter or other formal relationship where the processing of information is governed by specific contractual, professional, statutory or regulatory obligations.

Where a separate engagement or professional arrangement contains specific provisions concerning confidentiality, data protection or information handling, those provisions may apply in addition to this Privacy Policy.

3. Information We May Collect

Depending upon how you interact with the website, we may receive or collect information such as:

name;
email address;
telephone or mobile number;
organisation, company or institution name;
designation or professional information;
country, city or general location information voluntarily provided by you;
information contained in an enquiry or communication;
information concerning the nature of a potential legal or professional matter;
documents or other material voluntarily submitted by you;
information provided when requesting a consultation or professional contact;
technical information concerning use of the website; and
other information that you voluntarily provide to us.

You should exercise appropriate care before submitting confidential, privileged, commercially sensitive, personal or otherwise sensitive information through the website, particularly before any professional engagement has been expressly accepted.

4. Information You Voluntarily Provide

Information may be provided voluntarily when you:

submit a contact or enquiry form;
send an email;
request information concerning our services;
communicate concerning a potential engagement;
subscribe to or request publications or updates, where such functionality is available;
respond to communications from us; or
otherwise communicate with LegumNorth Global through the website or an associated electronic channel.

You are responsible for ensuring that information voluntarily provided by you is accurate and that you have the appropriate authority to provide information concerning another person or organisation.

5. Information Concerning Potential Legal Matters

Persons contacting a law firm may voluntarily provide information concerning legal disputes, transactions, investigations, businesses, individuals, assets, contracts, regulatory matters or other circumstances.

Submission of such information through this website or by email does not, by itself, create an advocate-client relationship, establish professional representation or guarantee confidentiality or privilege.

Prospective clients should not submit highly confidential or privileged information until LegumNorth Global has confirmed that it is appropriate to receive such information and, where applicable, that the relevant engagement has been accepted.

Information received before the establishment of a professional relationship may be handled subject to applicable law, professional obligations, conflict-of-interest requirements and the circumstances in which the information was received.

6. Information Collected Automatically

When you access the website, certain technical information may be automatically generated or made available through standard web technologies.

This may include information such as:

IP address;
browser type and version;
device type;
operating system;
approximate geographic information derived from technical data;
pages visited;
date and time of access;
referring website or source;
general website interaction information; and
technical information concerning website performance and security.

Such information may be used for security, technical administration, analytics, performance monitoring, troubleshooting and improving the website.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as website functionality, security, performance, analytics and understanding how visitors interact with the website.

Cookies may be placed by the website itself or, where applicable, by third-party services used in connection with website functionality or analytics.

The use of cookies and similar technologies is subject to our applicable Cookie Policy.

You may be able to control or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Certain website functions may be affected if cookies are disabled or restricted.

8. Purposes for Which Information May Be Used

Information may be used for legitimate and appropriate purposes, including:

responding to enquiries and communications;
communicating with prospective or existing clients;
considering potential professional engagements;
conducting conflict-of-interest checks;
understanding the nature and requirements of a potential matter;
providing requested information;
maintaining and administering the website;
protecting the security and integrity of the website;
detecting or preventing misuse, fraud or unauthorised activity;
complying with applicable legal, regulatory and professional obligations;
maintaining appropriate business and professional records;
improving website functionality, content and user experience;
undertaking appropriate internal administration; and
exercising or protecting our legal rights and interests.

Information will not be used for purposes materially inconsistent with the circumstances in which it was collected except where permitted or required by applicable law.

9. Legal and Professional Obligations

As a legal practice, LegumNorth Global may be required to process information in order to comply with applicable laws, court orders, regulatory requirements, professional obligations, record-keeping requirements and other lawful requirements.

Information may also be processed where necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights or claims, subject to applicable law and professional obligations.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to restrict any processing that is lawfully required or permitted under applicable law.

10. Professional Confidentiality and Legal Privilege

Where an advocate-client relationship has been properly established, information may be subject to professional confidentiality obligations and, where applicable, legal privilege in accordance with applicable law.

However, not every communication with a law firm is necessarily privileged or confidential merely because it is made to a lawyer or through a law-firm website.

The existence, scope and application of professional confidentiality or legal privilege depend upon the circumstances, applicable law, professional relationship and nature of the information.

This Privacy Policy does not create any additional privilege or confidentiality beyond that recognised under applicable law or professional obligations.

11. Disclosure of Information

LegumNorth Global does not ordinarily sell personal information to third parties.

Information may, where appropriate and lawful, be disclosed or made available to:

advocates, consultants, professionals or personnel working on an accepted matter;
professional advisers and service providers supporting our operations;
technology, hosting, website, email, security or infrastructure providers;
courts, tribunals, governmental authorities, regulators or law-enforcement agencies where required or permitted by law;
other counsel, experts, consultants or professionals where necessary for a matter and legally permissible;
persons authorised by you; or
other persons where disclosure is required, permitted or necessary under applicable law.

Where appropriate, reasonable steps may be taken to ensure that information is disclosed only for legitimate purposes and subject to applicable confidentiality, contractual, legal or professional obligations.

12. Third-Party Service Providers

The website and its associated operations may depend upon third-party service providers for functions such as website hosting, domain services, email, security, analytics, communications, storage, technical maintenance or other infrastructure.

Such providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services.

LegumNorth Global does not control the privacy practices of independent third-party providers and their processing may also be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Where third-party services are used, we seek to use them for legitimate operational purposes and, where appropriate, take reasonable measures concerning the handling and security of information.

13. Cross-Border Processing and International Communications

Because LegumNorth Global may deal with international clients, counsel, institutions and service providers, information may in appropriate circumstances be transmitted to or accessed from jurisdictions outside India.

Where information is transferred, accessed or processed across jurisdictions, such activity may be subject to the laws, contractual arrangements and safeguards applicable to the relevant circumstances.

International communications may also be necessary for the performance of a professional engagement, coordination with foreign counsel, cross-border transactions, litigation, arbitration, investigations or other legal matters.

14. Data Retention

Personal information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, considering or maintaining professional engagements, complying with legal and professional obligations, maintaining records, resolving disputes and protecting legal rights.

The appropriate retention period may vary depending upon the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, the existence of a professional relationship, applicable limitation periods and statutory or professional record-keeping requirements.

Information may be retained for longer where required or permitted by applicable law or where reasonably necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights.

15. Security of Information

LegumNorth Global takes reasonable measures appropriate to the circumstances to protect information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, loss or destruction.

However, no method of electronic transmission, storage or communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, while reasonable safeguards may be employed, LegumNorth Global does not warrant absolute security of information transmitted through the internet, email or other electronic systems.

Users should also take reasonable precautions to protect their own devices, accounts, passwords and communications.

16. Data Breach and Security Incidents

Where a security incident involving personal information comes to our attention, appropriate steps may be taken having regard to the nature of the incident, the information involved, applicable law and relevant professional obligations.

Where notification is legally required, such notification may be made in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

17. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, individuals may have rights concerning personal information held about them, including rights relating to access, correction, updating, withdrawal of consent where applicable, grievance redressal and other rights recognised by applicable law.

The availability and scope of any such rights may depend upon the applicable legal framework, the nature of the information, the purpose for which it is processed and the circumstances in which it was collected.

Requests concerning personal information may be submitted using the contact details provided below.

18. Withdrawal of Consent

Where processing is based upon consent and applicable law provides a right to withdraw such consent, you may request withdrawal by contacting us using the details provided below.

Withdrawal of consent will not necessarily affect processing that has already lawfully taken place before withdrawal.

Withdrawal may also not be possible where information must continue to be processed for legal, regulatory, professional, contractual, security or other lawful purposes.

19. Accuracy of Information

We may rely upon information provided directly by the relevant individual or organisation.

You should therefore ensure that information provided to LegumNorth Global is accurate, complete and up to date and should notify us where material information requires correction or updating.

LegumNorth Global is not responsible for consequences arising from inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information supplied by an individual or third party.

20. Children's Privacy

This website is intended primarily for adults and persons capable of independently seeking legal or professional information.

LegumNorth Global does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the website for purposes unrelated to a legitimate legal or professional requirement.

If you believe that personal information relating to a child has been provided to us through the website in circumstances where it should not have been, you may contact us using the details below.

21. Links to Third-Party Websites

This website may contain links to websites, platforms, databases, publications, government portals, courts, regulators and other resources operated by third parties.

Those websites are outside the control of LegumNorth Global and may have their own privacy policies, cookies, terms and data practices.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content or processing activities of third-party websites.

Users should review the privacy policies and terms applicable to any third-party website before providing information to it.

22. Changes to This Privacy Policy

LegumNorth Global may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, professional or regulatory requirements, technology, website functionality or our information-handling practices.

The revised version will be published on this website with an updated date where appropriate.

Users are encouraged to review the Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed about how information may be processed.

24. Applicable Law

This Privacy Policy shall be interpreted having regard to the laws and regulatory framework applicable to the processing of personal information and the operation of the website.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to exclude, restrict or override any mandatory right, obligation, liability or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or overridden.
