This policy explains what personal information Babar Law Associates collects through this website, why, and the choices you have. It applies to visitors, prospective clients and anyone who contacts us through the site.
Who we are
Babar Law Associates is a law practice based at Suite No. 305, 3rd Floor, Al-Ayesha Chambers, Passport Office, Saddar, Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us about privacy at ghulam.babar123@gmail.com.
Information we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us, and a limited amount of technical data:
- Enquiry form: your name, email address, phone number (optional), country of residence, the type of matter, and the details and message you write.
- Direct contact: anything you send us by email, WhatsApp or telephone.
- Technical data: our hosting provider records standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type, pages requested and time of request) to keep the site running and secure.
- Cookies: see our cookie policy.
Please do not send confidential documents or sensitive details of your matter until we have confirmed that we can act for you.
How we use it
- To read and reply to your enquiry, and to assess whether and how we can help.
- To check for conflicts of interest before accepting instructions.
- To provide legal services if you instruct us.
- To keep this website secure and working properly.
- To meet our legal and professional obligations.
Legal basis
Where data protection laws such as the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation apply to you, we rely on: taking steps at your request before entering into an engagement; our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and running a secure website; compliance with legal obligations; and your consent, for embedded content such as maps. You can withdraw consent at any time through the cookie settings link at the foot of every page.
International transfers
Our practice and some of our service providers operate in different countries, including Pakistan, the United States and the European Union, so your information may be processed outside the country where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiries for as long as needed to respond and for a reasonable period afterwards. If you instruct us, we keep your file for as long as professional rules and the law require.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the information we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to or restrict how we use it, receive a copy of it, and withdraw consent. To make a request, email ghulam.babar123@gmail.com.
If you are in the EU or UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
The site is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and access to enquiries is limited to the people who need it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please use judgement about what you send before we are engaged.

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
