This Privacy Policy explains how Rahat Saleem Law handles personal information when you visit our website, contact the practice or request a legal consultation.
It covers information received through rahatsaleemlaw.com, enquiry and booking forms, email, telephone and other communication channels used to discuss your enquiry.
Rahat Saleem Law is the legal practice presented on this website by Rahat Saleem, Advocate High Court, based in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
References to “we”, “us” and “our” mean the practice. For questions about your information, contact us using the details at the end of this policy.
Depending on how you contact us and the service you request, we may receive:
You may choose not to provide information. However, we may be unable to respond, arrange an appointment or assess your request without the details needed for that purpose.
Legal enquiries may involve private information about family relationships, children, identity, finances, property, health, religion or court proceedings. Documents may also contain information about other people.
For an initial enquiry, please provide a brief summary and your contact details. Ask the practice which documents are needed and how to send them before sharing identity documents or detailed sensitive records.
Share only information relevant to your enquiry and documents you are lawfully entitled to provide. Do not send passwords, payment-card security codes or unrelated personal records.
Information received in connection with legal advice or representation is also subject to applicable confidentiality and professional obligations.
Where relevant to a legal matter, we may receive information about spouses, children, relatives, witnesses, opposing parties or representatives.
Information may come from you, correspondence, documents, court records, public records or other people involved in the matter. Its use and disclosure depend on the legal work being undertaken and applicable obligations.
If you provide information about another person, limit it to what is relevant and let us know about any restrictions affecting its use or disclosure.
Website hosting and security systems may record technical information when a page is requested. This can include an IP address, browser information, pages requested, access times and error information.
Such information can be used to operate the website, investigate technical problems and detect misuse.
[Website administrator confirmation required: identify the technical information actually collected, the hosting and security providers involved, and whether contact or booking submissions are stored in WordPress, email systems or another service.]
Information relevant to your enquiry or engagement is used for purposes such as:
An enquiry or booking request is not consent to receive unrelated promotional messages.
[Client confirmation required: confirm these uses match the practice's procedures and identify any additional purposes. If marketing is used, describe the channels, permissions and opt-out method before publication.]
The grounds for handling information depend on the purpose and the law applicable to that activity. Relevant grounds may include taking steps at your request before an engagement, performing agreed services, complying with legal obligations, or using consent where required.
Handling sensitive information and information connected with legal claims may require additional conditions under applicable law. The practice must consider these requirements when dealing with a particular matter.
[Rahat's review required: confirm the applicable privacy laws and the grounds relied on for each purpose, including sensitive information and overseas enquiries. This paragraph should be tailored to that assessment.]
Depending on the enquiry, agreed work and applicable obligations, relevant information may need to be provided to:
This policy does not provide blanket permission to disclose client information. Any disclosure must be appropriate to its purpose and consistent with applicable obligations.
[Client confirmation required: confirm the recipient categories above, name relevant website providers, and remove categories that are not used.]
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. Website features and third-party integrations can also use similar technologies or receive technical information when they load.
[Website administrator confirmation required: inspect the live site's cookies and integrations. Replace this note with the actual cookie names or categories, providers, purposes, durations and available controls. Confirm whether analytics, advertising, spam protection or embedded maps are active.]
You can manage stored cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functions. Browser settings do not necessarily prevent every type of third-party data transmission.
Where consent is required for optional tracking, the relevant features should only load after that consent has been obtained. Publishing this policy does not, by itself, implement cookie controls.
If you use a WhatsApp contact link, your interaction with WhatsApp is also subject to its own privacy terms. Messages you send to the practice may become part of the correspondence relating to your enquiry.
Embedded maps may transmit information such as your IP address and browser details to the map provider when the map loads, depending on the implementation. Opening an external map link takes you to that provider's service.
Online consultations may use an agreed third-party communication platform. Review that provider's privacy information when using its service.
[Website administrator confirmation required: state whether the map is embedded or linked, identify its provider, and identify any video-consultation or messaging tools used. Add links to their privacy notices. Confirm whether any calls are recorded; if so, document the purpose, notice, permissions and retention arrangements.]
Contacting the practice from overseas involves sending information to a practice based in Pakistan. Technology providers may also process information in other countries, depending on the services used.
[Client and website administrator confirmation required: identify relevant processing locations and providers, and describe any international-transfer safeguards required by applicable law. Do not state that information stays in Pakistan unless verified.]
Retention should reflect the purpose of the information, the status of the enquiry or matter, and any applicable recordkeeping or professional obligations.
Relevant considerations include whether:
[Client confirmation required: insert the actual retention periods or adopted criteria for unaccepted enquiries, booking records, client files, billing records, website logs and backups. Confirm how records are deleted or otherwise disposed of when no longer needed.]
You may contact us to ask about the retention of information connected with your enquiry or matter.
The practice must handle information with care and observe applicable confidentiality obligations. No internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
[Client and website administrator confirmation required: confirm the safeguards actually in place, such as restricted access, account protection, software maintenance and backup procedures. Describe them accurately without disclosing sensitive security details.]
If you believe information sent to the practice has been accessed or disclosed improperly, contact us promptly using the details below.
You may contact us to ask about information held concerning you, request correction of inaccurate details, or request deletion of information that is no longer needed.
Where processing relies on consent, you may ask to withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not automatically affect processing already undertaken or information that must be retained on another applicable ground.
Depending on applicable law, you may also have rights concerning access, restriction, objection or transfer of your information.
Requests will need to be considered in light of identity verification, other people's privacy, legal privilege, professional duties and applicable retention requirements. Not every request can necessarily be granted in full.
[Rahat's review required: confirm any additional rights, response deadlines and regulator complaint details required under the laws applicable to the practice.]
This website presents legal services and is not intended as a service for children to use independently. However, family-law matters may involve information about children, including custody, guardianship, maintenance and birth documentation.
A parent, guardian or another person lawfully involved in a matter may provide relevant information about a child. Such information should be limited to what is needed and handled with particular care.
If you believe a child has submitted information unnecessarily or without appropriate involvement, contact us so that the circumstances can be reviewed.
Links on this website may take you to independently operated services. Their collection and use of information are governed by their own privacy notices.
Review those notices before sharing information. An external link does not mean the practice controls the other website's data-handling arrangements.
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in website features, information-handling practices or relevant requirements. The revised policy will be published here with an updated date.
Where applicable law requires additional notice or permission for a change, the practice will need to provide that notice or obtain that permission.
For privacy questions, correction requests or concerns about information shared with the practice, contact:
Rahat Saleem, Advocate High Court

Chamber 23, Madina Block, Ground Floor,
District Bar Rawalpindi, Rawalpindi, Pakistan
Please explain your request briefly. Avoid attaching sensitive identity documents until we confirm whether they are needed and how to provide them.
