1. Scope of this notice
This notice relates to information received through this website
and general communications initiated through the contact details
published on it. It is intended to provide visitors with a
general explanation of website-related information practices.
Information relating to a client instruction or a formal
professional engagement may be subject to separate engagement
terms, instructions, correspondence and applicable legal or
professional requirements. In the event of any inconsistency,
the terms governing the relevant engagement will apply to that
engagement to the extent legally permissible.
This notice is not intended to describe every information-handling
arrangement that may apply to a separate service, transaction,
engagement or third-party platform.
2. Information that may be received
Depending on the website features used and the information you
choose to provide, the following categories of information
may be received:
- Enquiry information: name, email address,
telephone number, organisation or business details (where
provided), the nature of your enquiry and the contents of
your communication. - Technical and usage information:
information that may be generated through ordinary website
operation, hosting or security tools, such as IP address,
browser type, device information, access time and diagnostic
or server-log information. - Communication records: information
contained in emails or other communications that you initiate
with us.
Please provide only information relevant to your enquiry.
Unless specifically requested through an appropriate and
secure channel, please do not submit passwords, payment-card
details, identity documents, confidential client material,
or sensitive personal information through a general website
enquiry form.
3. Use of information
Information received through the website or through
communications initiated by you may be used, as relevant,
for purposes such as:
- reviewing and responding to enquiries;
- communicating about the services or information requested;
- administering and maintaining the website;
- monitoring website functionality and addressing technical issues;
- detecting, preventing or investigating spam, suspicious
activity, unauthorised access or misuse; and - complying with applicable legal requirements or responding
to lawful requests from competent authorities.
The information requested or used will depend on the nature
of the interaction and the website functionality available
at the relevant time. Information will not be represented
as being collected for a purpose that is unrelated to the
interaction without an appropriate basis under applicable law.
4. Disclosure and service providers
Where reasonably necessary for website operation,
communications, security, administration or a requested
transaction, relevant information may be accessible to or
shared with service providers supporting those functions.
These may include website hosting providers, email or
communication service providers, website maintenance
personnel, security or spam-filtering providers and other
technical service providers, as applicable.
Information may also be disclosed where required or permitted
under applicable law, pursuant to a valid legal process,
or in response to a lawful request from a competent authority.
The nature and extent of any service-provider involvement
will depend on the tools and services actually configured
for the website. Third-party providers may operate under
their own contractual terms, security arrangements and
privacy notices.
5. Retention
Information may be retained for the period reasonably required
for the purpose for which it was received, to maintain relevant
communication or business records, to address security or
technical matters, or to meet applicable legal, regulatory
or professional requirements.
Retention periods may therefore differ depending on the nature
of the information, the context of the communication and any
applicable record-keeping obligation. Information that is no
longer reasonably required may be deleted, anonymised or
otherwise disposed of, subject to applicable law and legitimate
record-retention requirements.
6. Website security
Appropriate technical and organisational measures may be used,
having regard to the nature of the website and the information
involved, to support website security and reduce the risk of
unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Internet-based communications and electronic storage involve
inherent risks. No website, electronic transmission, hosting
environment or security measure can be represented as
completely secure or risk-free. Accordingly, absolute or
uninterrupted security is not warranted.
Where an incident involving information is identified,
it will be addressed in accordance with the procedures and
obligations applicable to the circumstances and under
applicable law. Nothing in this notice excludes or limits
any obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
7. Third-party websites
This website may contain links to websites, platforms or
services operated by third parties. Such links are provided
for convenience or reference. The operation, content,
security and privacy practices of those third-party websites
are outside the direct control of Karmastra Advisory LLP
and are governed by the relevant third party’s terms and policies.
Visitors should review the applicable terms and privacy
notices before using a third-party website or providing
information to it.
8. Enquiries and professional engagement
Submitting an enquiry, completing a website form, sending
an email or initiating a communication does not, by itself,
constitute acceptance of instructions, creation of a client
relationship, appointment, retainer or professional engagement
with Karmastra Advisory LLP.
Any professional engagement will arise only upon express
acceptance of the relevant instructions and completion of
the applicable engagement formalities, including agreement
on scope, terms and other requirements, where applicable.
Visitors should not transmit confidential, privileged,
time-sensitive or case-specific material through a general
enquiry facility unless and until an appropriate channel
and the terms for doing so have been confirmed.
9. Privacy-related requests
Any privacy-related query or request concerning information
communicated through this website may be sent to the contact
address set out below. Please provide sufficient details to
enable the relevant communication or information to be
identified. Additional information may be requested where
reasonably necessary to verify the request or protect against
unauthorised disclosure.
Requests will be considered and addressed in accordance with
the legal provisions applicable to the relevant information
and circumstances. This notice does not create rights beyond
those available under applicable law, nor does it restrict
any rights that applicable law provides.
10. Cookies and similar technologies
The website or services supporting it may use cookies or
similar technologies for functions such as basic website
operation, security, user preferences or, where configured,
website analytics. The technologies in use may depend on
the website platform, plugins and third-party services
enabled from time to time.
You may be able to manage or disable cookies through your
browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the
availability or functioning of some website features.
For details of any optional analytics or advertising
technologies actually enabled, the relevant website
configuration and third-party provider information
should be consulted.
11. Applicable law
This notice is intended to be read subject to the laws
applicable in India, including applicable information
technology and privacy-related laws, as in force and to
the extent applicable from time to time. The Digital
Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the rules made
under it will apply to the extent and from the dates
on which their respective provisions are brought into force.
Nothing in this notice is intended to contract out of,
waive or restrict any mandatory statutory or regulatory
requirement.
12. Updates to this notice
This notice may be revised from time to time to reflect
changes in website functionality, operational practices
or applicable legal requirements. The updated version
will be published on this page with a revised
“Last updated” date. Visitors are encouraged to review
