How we handle the information you share with us through this website.
Jesse Paul & Co. Attorneys-at-Law (“the Firm”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at lawfirmtrinidad.com (the “Website”), how we use and protect it, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies only to information collected through the Website. It does not govern information you provide to us in the course of an established attorney-client relationship, which is protected separately by our professional duty of confidentiality, by legal professional privilege, and by the applicable Rules of Professional Conduct. By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it — principally when you complete the enquiry or consultation form on our Website, or contact us by email, telephone or WhatsApp using the details published here. The information we collect may include:
We do not ask you to submit sensitive or confidential details of your matter through the Website, and we recommend that you do not. An initial enquiry should tell us enough to arrange a consultation; the substance of your matter is best discussed with an attorney directly.
We use the personal information you provide for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to send unsolicited marketing.
We process personal information in accordance with the Data Protection Act, Chapter 22:04 of the Laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and the general privacy principles it sets out. Depending on the circumstances, our processing is based on one or more of the following: your consent, given when you submit information through the Website; the steps necessary to respond to your request and to enter into or perform a retainer with you; our compliance with legal and regulatory obligations; and our legitimate interest in operating and safeguarding the Firm and its Website in a lawful and proportionate manner.
Our Website uses cookies — small text files placed on your device — to help the site function correctly and to understand how visitors use it. We may use strictly necessary cookies required for the site to operate, and analytics cookies that collect aggregated, non-identifying information about site usage so that we can improve it.
You can set your browser to refuse some or all cookies, or to alert you when a site sets one. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Website may not function as intended. Where our analytics or embedded content is provided by a third party, that provider’s own privacy practices apply to the data it processes; see “Third-party links” below.
We treat the information you provide as confidential and disclose it only in limited circumstances:
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third party for their own marketing purposes.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information under our control against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration. However, no transmission of information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Any information you send to us through the Website is transmitted at your own risk, and for that reason we ask that you do not send sensitive or confidential material through the site.
We retain personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to respond to your enquiry, to provide any services you engage us for, and to comply with our legal, regulatory and professional record-keeping obligations. Where an enquiry does not lead to a retainer, we retain the associated information only for so long as is reasonable to address the enquiry and to keep a record of it, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised.
Our Website may contain links to, or content embedded from, third-party websites and services — for example, mapping services, social media platforms, or a third-party reviews widget. We provide these for convenience and do not control, and are not responsible for, the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site or service before providing your information to it.
Our Website is intended for adults seeking legal services and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through the Website, please contact us so that we can remove it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in the law. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Website after any change indicates your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
