2. How We Use Your Information

VakeelEdge may use your information to:

• Respond to your enquiry and communicate with you
• Understand the nature of your legal concern
• Help you explore relevant legal support
• Connect you with legal professionals when you ask to proceed with legal assistance
• Coordinate calls, WhatsApp conversations, document sharing, or meetings where required

We do not use your information for purposes that are unrelated to your enquiry without an appropriate basis or your consent where required.

3. Sharing Information With Legal Professionals

VakeelEdge is a legal-assistance platform. If you request legal support, your relevant enquiry details and documents may be shared with legal professionals who may assist with your matter.

We share only the information that is reasonably required to understand the concern and facilitate legal support. The legal professional may separately request further details or documents directly from you if needed.

By asking VakeelEdge to connect you with legal support, you agree that we may share relevant information about your enquiry with appropriate legal professionals. Sharing information through VakeelEdge does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. Any professional relationship, engagement, advice, fees, or services are subject to the terms agreed between you and the relevant legal professional.

4. When We May Share Information With Others

We may share personal information only where necessary, including with:

• Legal professionals, when you request or proceed with legal assistance
• Service providers who support our website, communication, hosting, data storage, or technical operations
• Government authorities, courts, regulators, or law-enforcement agencies where required by applicable law or a valid legal request
• Professional advisers where necessary to protect legal rights, prevent fraud, or resolve disputes
• Any other party where you have given consent

VakeelEdge does not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to your enquiry, providing support, maintaining records, resolving disputes, or complying with applicable legal obligations.

When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymise, or securely retain it only where necessary for legal, compliance, security, or record-keeping purposes.

Subject to applicable law, you may request to:

• Access or obtain a summary of the personal information we hold about you
