2. Data we collect

When you contact us through our website, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided) and the content of your message. We may also collect technical data (IP address, browser type, pages visited) via Google Analytics.

We use your personal data to respond to your enquiry, assess whether we can assist you with your legal matter, and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations. We do not use your data for marketing without your explicit consent.

We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties except where required by law or with our professional indemnity insurers in the course of a claim. We use Google Analytics to analyse website usage — this may involve data being processed outside Kenya.

6. Data retention

We retain enquiry data for 12 months from the date of receipt unless you become a client, in which case our client data retention policy applies (minimum 7 years in accordance with professional requirements).
