2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

Information you provide

• Lawyers: Name, email address, phone number, SLBA enrollment number, NIC number, year of admission, specializations, practice locations, biography, and profile photo.
• Clients: Name, email address, and phone number when submitting an inquiry to a lawyer.

Information collected automatically

• Browser type, operating system, and referring URLs.
• Pages visited and time spent on the platform (via Google Analytics and PostHog).
• IP address and general geographic location.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage lawyer accounts on the platform.
• To verify SLBA enrollment and display lawyer profiles to the public.
• To forward client inquiries to the relevant lawyer via email.
• To send transactional emails (account approvals, rejections, password resets).
• To improve the platform using aggregated, anonymised analytics data.
• To comply with legal obligations.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in the following circumstances:

• With the lawyer you contact: When you submit an inquiry, your name, email, phone number, and message are sent to the relevant lawyer.
• Service providers: We use Supabase (database and authentication), Resend (transactional email), Vercel (hosting), Google Analytics, and PostHog (analytics). Each provider processes data under their own privacy policies.
• Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Data Retention

Lawyer account data is retained for as long as the account is active or as required to provide the service. Client inquiry data is retained for 12 months and then deleted. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at support@mylawwyer.com.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the platform, remember your session, and analyse usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some platform functionality.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
• Withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact support@mylawwyer.com.

8. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
