Privacy Policy
How Royal Attorneys collects, uses, and protects personal information when you use this website or contact our firm.
Royal Attorneys (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a law firm based in Arusha, Tanzania. This policy describes our approach to personal data in connection with this website and routine firm enquiries. It is a general statement for website visitors and prospective clients; it does not replace specific advice about data protection in your own matter. Where you become a client, additional terms and professional duties (including legal professional privilege) may apply.
1. Who is responsible
Royal Attorneys, Plot 7, Kanisa Road, Corridor Area, P.O. Box 2753, Arusha, Tanzania. You may contact us at boniface@royalattorneys.co.tz or via the details on our contact page.
2. Information we may collect
- Contact and enquiry forms: name, email address, telephone number, organisation (if provided), and the content of your message and matter description.
- Newsletter: email address if you choose to subscribe through our website forms.
- Technical data: standard server or analytics information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, where our hosting or tools collect this automatically.
3. How we use your information
- To respond to enquiries and arrange consultations.
- To send newsletters or updates only where you have asked to receive them.
- To operate, secure, and improve the website.
- To comply with legal and regulatory obligations applicable to advocates in Tanzania.
Submitting a form does not, by itself, create an attorney–client relationship; that arises only when agreed in line with our professional rules.
4. Legal basis
We process personal data on grounds such as your consent (for example, newsletter sign-up or form submission), steps prior to a possible contract, our legitimate interests in operating the firm and website (balanced against your rights), or legal obligation where applicable. Tanzania’s personal data protection framework (including the Personal Data Protection Act and regulations as in force) may apply to our processing; we aim to act consistently with those requirements.
5. Sharing and transfers
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with trusted service providers who assist us (for example, website hosting, email, or IT support) under appropriate confidentiality terms, or where the law or a competent authority requires disclosure.
6. Retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including any period required for professional conduct, regulatory compliance, or limitation periods relevant to the firm.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. No online transmission is completely secure; you share information at your own risk beyond what we reasonably control.
8. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, object to, or request deletion of certain personal data, or to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. To exercise these rights or ask a question about this policy, contact us using the details in section 1.
9. Cookies and similar technologies
This site may use essential cookies needed for the site to function. If we use non-essential cookies or analytics in the future, we will update this policy and, where required, obtain consent.
10. Third-party sites
Our website may link to other sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices; please read their policies separately.
11. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where the law allows.
