Privacy Policy
Muzy & Meraris LLP ("the Firm") is the controller of personal data collected through muzylaw.com and in the course of our work. Contact us at [contact@muzylaw.com]. Where we process data on a client's instructions we act as processor, and that client's policy governs.
Pakistan has no general data protection statute in force. We nonetheless apply the standards below, and where we act for individuals in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area the UK GDPR or GDPR applies directly and we comply with it.
What we collect. Identity, contact, and travel document details; family, education, employment, and financial records; and the papers and instructions relating to your matter. Some matters require sensitive information — medical, biometric, or criminal record data — which we collect only where necessary and hold under restricted access. From the website: IP address, device details, and pages visited.
Why. To answer enquiries, run conflict checks, carry out due diligence required by the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2010, advise and represent you, lodge applications with courts and authorities, bill, send Insights you have asked for, and defend the Firm against claims. Our bases are performance of our engagement, compliance with legal obligations, the establishment or defence of legal claims, our legitimate interests in running the practice, and consent for marketing. Some information we are required by law to obtain; without it we cannot act.
Who sees it. Courts, tribunals, and regulators; immigration authorities and visa centres; foreign lawyers and correspondent firms instructed on your matter; counsel, experts, and translators; banks, in transactional work; and IT and accounting providers bound by confidentiality obligations. Client information is otherwise confidential and privileged. We do not sell data or share it with advertisers.
Transfers abroad. Our work is cross-border and data routinely leaves Pakistan. Where the GDPR or UK GDPR governs a transfer we rely on adequacy, Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK Addendum, or the derogations for performance of a contract and for legal claims. Details on request.
Retention. Matter files [six] years after conclusion, longer where the matter concerns property, trusts, succession, or a minor. Due diligence records at least five years after the relationship ends. Enquiries that do not proceed, [twelve] months. Original documents are returned to you.
Your rights. Access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. These are qualified: we may decline where compliance would breach privilege, prejudice a matter, or conflict with a duty to a court. Write to [privacy@muzylaw.com] and we will reply within one month. UK and EEA residents may also complain to their supervisory authority.
Security and decisions. We apply access controls, encryption in transit, and confidentiality undertakings from all personnel. We do not take decisions about you by automated means alone.
Changes. The current version is always published here with its revision date.
