How the Chamber of Adv. Shyam Jethmalani handles personal data submitted through the public website and authenticated chamber workspace.

Who this policy covers
This policy applies to personal data handled through lawdemo.techbirdit.in, its public enquiry and intake forms, and its authenticated chamber workspace. In this policy, “the chamber”, “we”, and “us” mean the Chamber of Adv. Shyam Jethmalani, Nagpur.
This policy does not govern a third-party website merely because this site links to it. A provider's own notice applies when you use that provider directly.
Data we may receive
Depending on the feature you choose, the site may receive:
- identity and contact details, including name, email address and telephone number;
- enquiry, conflict-check and intake details, including matter type, parties, forum, FIR or case number, dates, location, urgency and your summary;
- organisation and contact information submitted for an institutional enquiry;
- documents, scans, voice notes or other content that an authenticated user chooses to upload;
- account, role and session information used to authenticate and secure the workspace;
- technical information ordinarily generated when a site is used, such as device, browser, IP, request and error logs; and
- payment, invoice or transaction references if a payment-related feature is used. Full card credentials should not be sent through an enquiry form.
Please provide only what is reasonably necessary. Do not submit a victim's identity, a child's details, medical records, intimate material, passwords or original evidence through a general enquiry form unless the chamber has asked for it through an appropriate channel.
Why data is handled
- to receive and route enquiries, conduct a conflict check and decide whether a brief can be considered;
- to communicate with the sender and maintain a record of that communication;
- to operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the website and authenticated workspace;
- to provide a feature requested by an authenticated user, including document management, drafting, research, case administration or billing;
- to maintain professional, accounting, security and compliance records; and
- to comply with a legal obligation, court order or lawful request.
Conflict checks and confidentiality
Sending information does not by itself create an advocate-client relationship, confirm acceptance of a brief or establish that every communication is privileged. A brief is accepted only after conflict review and written confirmation.
The chamber's professional duties may require it to keep a limited conflict record even where a brief is not accepted. Requests to erase or disclose information may also be restricted by professional confidentiality, another person's rights, court obligations, limitation periods or law.
Storage, security and retention
Some preferences and workspace data may be stored on the device. Other data may be stored by configured cloud services. A provider may process data in another location under its own service terms and applicable transfer restrictions.
Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used according to the nature of the feature and the available service configuration. No internet transmission or storage system can be promised as completely secure.
Data is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, conflict and professional records, an active engagement, security, backup, accounting, dispute or legal requirements. No single fixed period is stated because the correct period depends on the record and the chamber's duties.
Your choices and privacy requests
You may ask what personal data the chamber holds about you, request correction, withdraw consent for optional future use, or request erasure where the applicable law permits it. A request may require identity verification and may be refused or limited where retention or confidentiality is legally or professionally required.
Send a privacy question or grievance to chambers@lawdemo.techbirdit.in, or use the published chamber address on the contact page. State “Privacy request” in the subject and identify the relevant enquiry or account without sending unnecessary sensitive material.
Children, legal transition and updates
The service is not intended for a child to open or manage independently. A parent, lawful guardian or authorised adult should communicate where a child's matter requires legal assistance, and should minimise the child's identifying information.
India's Digital Personal Data Protection framework has phased commencement dates under G.S.R. 843(E) dated 13 November 2025. As at 18 July 2026, several substantive processing and rights provisions have later commencement dates. This policy is intended to operate with the law currently in force and will be updated as further provisions commence or the service changes.
