Regulatory Information

Privacy Notice

This notice is published under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and states how information is handled on this website. It is furnished to a visitor who has accessed this website of their own accord.

No Information Is Collected From a Visitor Through This Website

There is no enquiry form, no contact form, no chat facility and no newsletter subscription on this website, and no booking widget is embedded in any page of it. Nothing typed into this website leaves the browser.
No case details, cheque particulars, documents or personal information are solicited, requested or received through this website.
A visitor is asked not to send confidential information or case papers through this website or by unsolicited electronic communication. Documents should be brought to a consultation arranged by prior appointment.
No account is created, no login is offered to the public, and no client data of any kind is stored on, served from, or accessible through this website.

Server Logs, Analytics and Third-Party Requests

The hosting provider may record standard technical information — IP address, browser type, pages requested and time of request — for the security and operation of the server. This is retained by the host in the ordinary course and is not used to identify any visitor.
If aggregate website analytics are enabled, they are used solely to understand which pages are read. IP anonymisation is applied where the analytics provider supports it. No advertising, retargeting or profiling pixel is deployed on this website, and none will be.
The typefaces used on this website are served from this website's own domain. Loading a page of this website therefore sends no request to any other party, and discloses the visitor's presence to no one but the host of this site.
Three links on this website lead away from it, and none is followed unless the visitor chooses to follow it. The first is the link to a map of the chambers' location, which opens Google Maps. The second is the WhatsApp link, which opens WhatsApp on the visitor's own device. The third is the appointment diary on the Contact page, which opens a scheduling page kept by Calendly LLC. Following any of them discloses the visitor's request to the operator of that service, on that operator's own terms, over which these chambers have no control. None of the three carries a pre-filled message, an identifier or a tracking parameter. None of them is loaded until it is clicked, and nothing about the visit is recorded on this side.
The appointment diary. A person who chooses to open it is asked for a name and one telephone or email particular, so that a time may be held and confirmed. Nothing else is asked, and no field for case facts, cheque particulars or documents is offered there. What is entered is held by the operator of that service, on its own terms and privacy policy. It reaches these chambers as a diary entry, and is used to keep and confirm the appointment and for nothing else. Use of the diary is optional in every case. The same appointment may be sought by telephone, by WhatsApp or by email, and a person who prefers not to use an outside service should do that instead.
Where a consultation is held by video link. The diary also carries the mode of the consultation — at the chambers, by telephone, or by video link. Where a video link is chosen, a meeting link is generated by the video service used for that purpose and is sent with the confirmation of the appointment. Joining that meeting is on the terms and the privacy policy of the operator of that service, over which these chambers have no control, and it may involve that operator recording the fact and the duration of the connection. Nothing about the matter is entered on the diary or on the video service, and a consultation held in that mode is not recorded by these chambers. A person who would rather not use an outside video service may ask for the consultation to be held by telephone or attended at the chambers instead.
No personal data is sold, rented, shared for marketing, or transferred to any third party for any commercial purpose.

Confidentiality of Communications

A person who contacts the chambers by telephone, by WhatsApp, by email or through the appointment diary does so of their own accord. Such communications are treated as confidential.
Communications made in the course of, and for the purpose of, a professional engagement are privileged. They attract the protection of Section 132 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 — formerly Section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 — and the confidentiality obligations binding on every advocate.
No client is named, and no matter is described or referred to, anywhere on this website.

Rights of a Data Principal

A person whose personal data is held may seek information about it, seek its correction or erasure, or make a grievance, by writing to the address or email address set out on the Contact page.
Person to be addressed. Requests, questions and grievances under the Act are dealt with by Adv. Suryanarayan M. Nadar personally, at Shop No. 3, Harmony CHS Ltd, G. B. Marg, Opposite Orlem Church, Orlem, Malad West, Mumbai 400064, or at advocate@suryanadar.com. These chambers are not a Significant Data Fiduciary within the meaning of the Act, and no Data Protection Officer is therefore designated; the person named above answers in that stead.
Requests are dealt with in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the rules made under it.
Contact for this notice. The particulars of the chambers appear on the Contact page. This notice may be revised; the version published on this page is the one in force.
