How We Use Your Data

We process personal data only when at least one legal ground under the Trinidad & Tobago Data Protection Act 2011 (“TT DPA”)—and, when relevant, the EU/UK GDPR—is met:

  1. Contractual necessity – to provide and maintain the Service.
  2. Legitimate interests – e.g., prevent fraud, analyse aggregated usage to improve features.
  3. Consent – where you opt-in (e.g., Google Analytics cookies, marketing).
  4. Legal obligation – to comply with laws, court orders, or law-enforcement requests.

Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties except in the following circumstances:

Service Providers

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our application and conducting our business.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

International Transfers

Your data may be processed outside Trinidad & Tobago. Where required, we rely on:

  • Service Provider's standard contractual clauses (SCCs) with its sub-processors,
  • vendor certifications (e.g., ISO 27001), and
  • encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256).

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Subject to local law, you may have the right to:

  1. Access – know what personal data we hold.
  2. Rectify – correct inaccurate data.
  3. Erase – request deletion where legally permissible.
  4. Restrict or object to processing.
  5. Data portability – receive a copy in machine-readable form.

Security

We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including:

  • Encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Role-based access controls & least-privilege policies
  • Regular vulnerability scanning & penetration testing
  • Continuous backup and disaster-recovery procedures.

Children’s Privacy

The Service is intended for legal professionals. We do not knowingly collect data from persons under 18. If you believe a minor has provided data, contact us for prompt deletion.
