This policy explains how Hukm Law Firm ("the Firm", "we", "us") handles personal information when you visit this website, contact us or ask about our services. Please read it together with our Terms and Conditions.
1. Information we collect
We collect only what we need to respond to you and to run the website.
Information you give us: your name, email address, telephone number, country, practice area and the message you send through the inquiry form, by email or by telephone.
Technical information: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, the page that referred you, and the date and time of each visit.
Cookie data: identifiers set by cookies and similar technologies, as described in section 9.
Please do not send confidential documents or sensitive details through the website. Share them only after we have confirmed that we can act for you.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to:
read and answer your inquiry, and decide whether we can help;
carry out conflict checks before any engagement;
provide legal services once you have instructed us;
keep the website secure, working and measured;
meet legal, regulatory and professional obligations, including anti-money laundering rules;
send updates you have asked for, which you can stop at any time.
3. Legal bases for processing
Where data protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on one of the following:
your consent, for example for analytics cookies and newsletters;
steps taken at your request before an engagement, and the performance of an engagement;
our legitimate interests in running and securing the website and handling inquiries, balanced against your rights;
compliance with a legal obligation.
4. Sharing information
We do not sell personal information. We share it only when needed:
with our lawyers, staff and professional advisers who work on your matter;
with service providers that host the website, send email, provide analytics and run our systems, under written confidentiality and data protection terms;
with courts, authorities and regulators when the law requires it or a lawful request is made;
with a successor firm if the practice is reorganised, after notice to you.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may store or process information outside the United Arab Emirates. When that happens we rely on safeguards recognised by applicable law, such as contractual protections, and we limit transfers to what is necessary.
6. Retention
We keep inquiry information for as long as we need it to answer you. If you become a client, we keep it for the period our legal and professional duties require. Inquiries that do not lead to an engagement are normally deleted within 24 months. Website logs and analytics data are kept for no more than 13 months.
7. Security
We protect information with access controls, encryption in transit and confidentiality duties for everyone who handles it. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please keep sensitive details out of the website. If a breach affects your rights, we will tell you and the competent authority as the law requires.
8. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may:
ask for access to the personal information we hold about you;
ask us to correct information that is inaccurate;
ask us to delete information we no longer need;
object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing;
withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing;
ask for a copy of your information in a portable format.
To use a right, write to us using the details in section 12. We may need to confirm your identity first. You may also complain to the competent data protection authority.
9. Cookies
The website uses essential cookies that make pages and forms work. With your consent, it also uses analytics cookies that show us how the site is used. You can change your choice at any time through your browser settings or the cookie control on the site. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the website from working.
10. Children
The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices or the law change. The date at the top shows the latest revision, and material changes are highlighted on this page.
