Sikodia & Associates (the “Firm”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect through this website, how we use it and the choices you have. It is intended to be read with our Terms and Conditions and Disclaimer, and is framed in line with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
2. Information We Collect
This Website does not require you to register or fill in a form. We may receive personal information only if you choose to contact us, such as:
- your name, email address and phone number;
- the contents of your message and any documents you send; and
- technical information such as IP address, browser type and pages visited, which may be recorded in server logs by our hosting provider.
The Website records your acceptance of the Disclaimer in your browser's session storage. This is not sent to us and is cleared when you close your browser. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information you provide only to respond to your enquiry, to communicate with you, to meet legal and professional obligations, and to maintain and secure the Website. We do not use your information for marketing or solicitation.
4. Consent
By voluntarily contacting us, you consent to our processing your personal data for the purposes stated above. You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to us, though this will not affect processing already carried out.

6. Data Security and Retention
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We keep information only as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law, and then delete or anonymise it.
