Privacy Policy

Effective Date 10th day of  July 2025

Last updated: 4 September 2026

 

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored and handled when a visitor accesses or communicates through www.cybercrimeadvocates.co.in.

​

The website is operated by:

KHAN Advocates & Associates
Email: pathan@khanadvocates.com
Phone: +91 89193 79302
Address: 1, 4th St, Vijaynagar Colony, SBH Colony, Vijaya Nagar Colony, Hyderabad, Telangana 500057, India.

​​

1. Nature and Purpose of the Website
​
This website is maintained principally for general information and legal awareness. It contains:

• The name, location and contact details of the Office.

• General descriptions of areas of legal practice.

• Basic procedural and legal information.

• Articles and general legal updates.

• Facilities for requesting communication or a consultation.

​​

Information describing practice areas does not constitute a promise to provide services, an automatic offer capable of acceptance, or confirmation that any particular matter will be accepted.

​​

The website does not itself provide legal advice, conclude an advocate’s engagement or create an advocate–client relationship.

Viewing the website, submitting a form, sending an email or WhatsApp message, or requesting a consultation does not create an advocate–client relationship. Such a relationship begins only after the matter has been reviewed and KHAN Advocates & Associates has expressly agreed to accept the engagement.

​​

2. Information Provided Voluntarily
​
When a visitor uses the contact form, email link, telephone number, WhatsApp link or another communication facility, the following information may be provided voluntarily:

• Name.

• Email address.

• Contact number.

• Message content.

• Preferred method of communication.

• A brief description of the enquiry.

• Documents or other information voluntarily supplied by the visitor.

​​

This information may be used to:

• Review and respond to the communication.

• Arrange or discuss a requested consultation.

• Understand the general nature of the enquiry.

• Conduct an initial availability or conflict check.

• Maintain necessary administrative, security and communication records.

• Comply with applicable law or lawful directions.

​​

Contact information submitted for an enquiry will not be used for newsletters, unrelated marketing, behavioural profiling or promotional mailing without separate permission.

​

We do not sell personal information submitted through the website.

​

3. Automatically Received Technical Information
​
Because the website is hosted on the Wix platform, Wix and connected website tools may automatically receive limited technical information, including:

• Internet Protocol address.

• Browser and device type.

• Operating system.

• Date and time of access.

• Pages viewed.

• Referring website or link.

• Cookie identifiers.

• Security, diagnostic and performance information.

​

This information may be required for website operation, fraud prevention, security, analytics, troubleshooting and performance measurement.

​

Some analytics may be aggregated or pseudonymised. However, we do not represent that every item of technical information is completely anonymous in all circumstances.

​

4. Wix Hosting and Processing
​
This website is created and hosted through Wix.com. Wix may process technical data, cookie information, form submissions and other website information as a platform and service provider.

​

Such processing may be governed by Wix’s own privacy policy, terms, security practices and data-processing arrangements. Information may be stored or processed through systems located in India or another jurisdiction, subject to applicable law.

KHAN Advocates & Associates does not control every technical process, server, cookie or security function operated independently by Wix or another connected service provider.

​

5. Cookies and Analytics
​
Wix may automatically place cookies that are necessary for:

• Website security.

• Network management.

• Fraud prevention.

• Form functionality.

• Session management.

• Basic website operation.

​​

Depending on the website configuration, Wix or connected services may also use functional or analytics cookies to understand website usage and improve performance.

​​

Where a cookie-preference facility is available, visitors may use it to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Visitors may also control cookies through their browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality.

The Office does not intentionally use website cookies for third-party advertising or unrelated behavioural profiling. If such tools are introduced in the future, this policy and the relevant consent settings should be updated.

​​

6. No Website Payments or Financial Transactions
​
The website presently does not contain an online checkout, payment gateway or facility for paying professional fees.

The website does not request or process:

​

• Credit or debit card information.

• UPI PINs.

• Banking passwords.

• OTPs.

• Internet-banking credentials.

• Donations or online purchases.

​​​

Professional fees, if applicable after a matter is accepted, are communicated and handled separately outside the website.

Visitors should not make payment in response to an unofficial link, unknown account or unverified communication claiming to represent KHAN Advocates & Associates.

​
7. No Sale of Products or Digital Offerings
​
The website does not sell products, subscriptions, paid downloads, e-books or paid digital tools.

The website may describe areas of professional practice and permit visitors to request communication. However, browsing the website or submitting an enquiry does not purchase a consultation, conclude an engagement or create an obligation to provide professional services.

​​​

8. Sensitive Information
​
Visitors should not submit the following through the public contact form:

​

• Passwords, PINs or OTPs.

• Complete banking or card credentials.

• Account-access information.

• Original identity documents.

• Unnecessary Aadhaar, PAN or passport copies.

• Confidential case records not requested by the Office.

• Information that the visitor is not lawfully entitled to disclose.

If documents are required for reviewing a matter, an appropriate method of transmission may be communicated separately.

​
9. Information Concerning Other Persons
​
A visitor providing information about another person is responsible for ensuring that the information is lawfully held and disclosed.

The website must not be used to submit stolen, unlawfully obtained, defamatory, misleading or unauthorised personal information.

​

10. No Advocate–Client Relationship or Privilege by Submission
​
Submission of information through the website does not mean:

​

• That the matter has been accepted.

• That the Office represents the sender.

• That a consultation has been confirmed.

• That any limitation period or deadline is being monitored.

• That the information constitutes instructions to act.

• That advocate–client privilege automatically arises solely from submission.

​

Information will be handled reasonably and in accordance with applicable obligations, but visitors should not treat a public website form, ordinary email or external messaging service as a completely secure channel.

​

11. No Marketing or Sale of Information
​
Personal information submitted for an enquiry is not sold, rented or traded.

It will not be used for newsletters, unrelated marketing or promotional campaigns unless the visitor has separately and expressly opted in to receive such communications.

​

12. Disclosure of Information
​
Information may be disclosed only where reasonably necessary:

• To respond to the visitor’s request.

• With the visitor’s consent or instruction.

• To Wix or another service provider supporting website operation.

• To prevent fraud, abuse or a security incident.

• To comply with applicable law, court directions or lawful requests.

• To establish, exercise or defend legal rights.

Where disclosure is otherwise permitted or required by law.

​

13. Retention
​
Information will be retained only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was received and for applicable legal, professional, conflict-checking, administrative or security requirements.

Information may be deleted, anonymized or securely archived when it is no longer reasonably required, subject to any lawful reason requiring continued retention.

​

14. Data Security and Wix Infrastructure
​
Wix states that Wix sites use HTTPS, TLS and SSL technology to protect data transmitted between a visitor’s browser and the website.

Reasonable care is taken when accessing and handling information received through the website. Nevertheless, no website, email, messaging platform, server or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

KHAN Advocates & Associates is not responsible for a security incident, service interruption or unauthorised activity caused exclusively by Wix, a telecommunications provider, an external platform, the visitor’s device or another matter beyond the Office’s reasonable control, subject always to obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.

​

15. External Services
​
The website may contain links to WhatsApp, Google Maps, social-media websites, courts, government portals or other external platforms.

​

Those services may independently collect information under their own terms and privacy policies. KHAN Advocates & Associates does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, accessibility, accuracy or availability of independent external platforms.

​

16. Rights and Requests
​
Subject to applicable law and lawful retention requirements, a person may contact the Office to:

• Request access to information submitted through the website.

• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

• Request deletion of information that is no longer required.

• Withdraw consent where processing depends upon consent.

• Raise a grievance regarding the handling of personal information.

• Identity verification may be required before acting on a request. Information may be retained where required by law, professional duties, security requirements, legal proceedings or the establishment or defence of legal claims.

​​

17. Children
​
The website is not intended to obtain independent legal instructions from children. A parent, lawful guardian or authorised representative should communicate on behalf of a child where assistance is required.

​

18. General Legal-Information Disclaimer
​
All legal information appearing on the website is provided for general information and awareness only. It is not a legal opinion and must not be applied to any individual matter without case-specific advice.

​

Laws, statutory provisions, rules, notifications, procedures, reported decisions and legal citations may be amended, repealed, stayed, distinguished, superseded or overruled. Information may therefore become incomplete or outdated after publication.

​

19. Changes to This Policy
​
This Privacy Policy may be amended when the website, Wix services, connected applications, office practices or applicable legal requirements change.

The revised version will be displayed on this page with an updated revision date.
