Privacy Notice

MDR Law & Associates (“we”, “us”) runs this website. This notice explains what information we collect when you use it, why, who else handles it, and the choices you have.

1. Who we are and how to reach us

MDR Law & Associates, Chennai, Tamil Nadu. For any privacy question or request, write to mdrlaw.associates@gmail.com or call +91 86829 74777 or +91 99404 66605.

2. What we collect

Information you give us

• Consultation request form: your name, phone number, email address, the practice area, your preferred time and the message you write.
• Newsletter and email sign-up: your email address and the topics you choose.
• Calling, WhatsApp or emailing us: whatever you choose to tell us.

Please do not put confidential case details, passwords or identity-document numbers into the website forms. Sending a form does not create an advocate–client relationship; see our Disclaimer.

Information collected automatically, only if you allow analytics

When you first visit, a banner asks whether you allow anonymous analytics. If you allow it, we use:

• Google Analytics to count which pages are viewed, how visitors found the site (for example Google search or a link), the type of device and browser, and an approximate location. It also counts actions such as clicking the phone, WhatsApp or email link, and submitting the consultation form. We do not send your name, phone number or email address to Google Analytics.
• Microsoft Clarity to record anonymous screen activity, such as scrolling, clicks and taps, and to build heatmaps, so we can see which parts of a page are easy or hard to use. Text you type into forms is masked and is not recorded. Clarity does not run on our admin or unsubscribe pages.
• A small record in your browser of your choice on the banner and, if you allow analytics, how you arrived (for example the Google or campaign source), so we can tell which pages lead to enquiries.

If you choose “No thanks”, these tools stay off and any stored arrival record is removed. You can change your choice at any time with “Analytics preferences” in the footer.

Information needed to run the site

Our hosting provider receives your IP address and basic request details when you load a page. Staff use a login cookie in the admin area; visitors do not receive it.

3. Why we use it

• To reply to your consultation request and communicate with you.
• To send the newsletter you asked for. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• To understand which articles and pages are useful, fix problems and improve the site.
• To keep the site secure and prevent misuse.
• To meet our legal and professional obligations.

4. Who else handles information

We use service providers to run the website. They process information for us as needed to do their job: Vercel (website hosting and file storage), Google (Analytics and Search Console), Microsoft (Clarity), Resend (sending emails) and Supabase (a database for our internal website reports). We do not sell your information. We do not send your name, phone number, email address or case details to analytics services or to AI tools. If we use an AI tool to help us read website statistics, it receives only totals, page addresses and search terms, never personal details.

5. How long we keep it

• Website statistics in our reports are kept for up to 26 months and then deleted.
• Records of which channel an enquiry came from are kept for up to 24 months.
• Consultation requests are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and to meet our professional and legal obligations.
• Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe.

6. Your choices

• Allow or decline analytics, and change your mind later, with “Analytics preferences” in the footer.
• Unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in any email or on our Unsubscribe page.
• Ask us what information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it, by writing to mdrlaw.associates@gmail.com. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the authority the law provides for.

7. Children

This website is not meant for children, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

8. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information, including encrypted connections and restricted staff access. No website can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Changes to this notice

We will update this page if our practices change and show the date at the top.
