Kissoon Law Respects Your Privacy
Protecting your privacy is very important to us. At Kissoon Law, we understand that you are trusting us with your personal information, and we take this responsibility seriously.

Communicate with you regarding your matter or inquiry;
Manage billing, payments, and accounting;
Comply with professional and legal obligations (including anti–money laundering and know-your-client requirements);
Conduct internal administration and data analytics to improve our services; and
Send you updates, publications, or invitations to events (only if you have opted in).
We only share your information with third parties when necessary for legitimate business purposes, such as with service providers (e.g., IT support, document storage, or couriers) who are bound by confidentiality obligations.

We may send you updates or newsletters if you subscribe to them. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions in the email.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, or to establish or defend legal claims. Generally, client files are kept for up to seven (7) years after a matter concludes, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
7. Confidentiality and Security
Your security is important to us. We restrict access to your information to those employees and partners who need it to perform their duties. All staff are bound by confidentiality obligations, and we maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.
