Who we are
Century Law Firm is a law firm practising from Chamber 555-556, Western Wing, Tis Hazari Courts, Delhi 110054. For the purposes of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) we are the data fiduciary for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us at info@centurylawfirm.in or +91-9310411779.
What we collect, and why
1. Information you send us
When you use the contact form, call, email or message us on WhatsApp, we receive what you choose to share – usually your name, phone number, email address and a description of your legal question. We use it only to respond to you and, if you engage us, to act for you. Anything you tell us about a legal matter is also protected by the duty of confidentiality that advocates owe under the Advocates Act, 1961 and the Bar Council of India Rules.
2. Comments on blog posts
If you comment on a post, we store the name, email address and comment you enter, together with your IP address and browser identifier, which WordPress records to help detect spam. Your email address is never published. An anonymised hash of it may be sent to the Gravatar service to check whether you have a profile picture there; Gravatar’s privacy policy is at automattic.com/privacy.
3. Information collected automatically
- Server and security logs. Our hosting provider and Cloudflare, which protects and speeds up the site, record the IP address, browser type, pages requested and time of each visit. These logs are used to keep the site running and to block attacks, and are retained for a short period by those providers.
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are read and how visitors reach the site. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes your IP address and device information; we do not use it to identify individual visitors, and we have not enabled advertising features.
- Embedded content. Some posts embed YouTube videos and Google Maps. When you load such a post, Google may set cookies and collect usage data as if you had visited YouTube or Google Maps directly. Where possible we load maps only after you tap to open them.
We do not ask you to create an account on this website, we do not sell personal data, and we do not use personal data for advertising.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. This site uses: cookies set by Google Analytics (which expire after up to two years); a Cloudflare security cookie that expires within a day; and, if you comment, WordPress cookies that remember your name and email for a year so you need not retype them. You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings; the site will still work, although some embedded videos may not play.
Legal basis and consent
We process your personal data on the basis of the consent you give when you send us a message or post a comment, and, in the case of logs and analytics, for the legitimate purpose of operating and securing the website. You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to us; we will then stop the processing unless the law requires us to keep the data (for example, records of a client engagement).
How long we keep it
Enquiries that do not lead to an engagement are deleted within twelve months. Client files are kept for as long as professional rules and the law require after a matter closes. Comments remain on the site until you ask us to remove them. Analytics data is retained by Google for the period set in our Analytics account, currently 14 months.
Who we share it with
We do not share personal data with anyone except the service providers who help us run the site – our web host (GoDaddy), Cloudflare and Google (Analytics, YouTube, Maps) – and, where you have engaged us, the courts, counsel and others who need it to act for you. Some of these providers store data on servers outside India; by using the site you agree to such transfers, which are permitted under the DPDP Act except to countries notified by the Central Government.
Your rights
Under the DPDP Act you have the right to know what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to withdraw consent, to nominate a person to exercise these rights on your behalf, and to have a grievance heard. Write to the Grievance Officer below; we will respond within the time allowed by the Act and the rules under it. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India once it is functioning for complaints of this kind.
Children
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, tell us and we will delete it.
