Information Collection

Minimal Data Principle

We collect only what is strictly necessary for legal intervention:

  • Case Data: Incident description, location, date, and evidence files (photos/videos).
  • Contact Info: Name and mobile number, collected solely for authentication and Advocate communication.

Encryption & Security

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

  • Transmission: All data is transmitted via 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption.
  • Storage: Petitioner identities are stored in an isolated, encrypted database accessible only to the Chief Legal Officer.
  • Evidence Vault: Files are stored in a secure cloud environment with time-limited access tokens.

Information Sharing

Strict "Need-to-Know" Basis

We never sell or trade your data. Disclosure is limited to:

  • Assigned Advocate: To prepare your legal defense.
  • Judicial Bodies: The High Court or Magistrate, strictly for filing petitions.
We do not share details with local police without a court order.

Retention & Deletion

Right to be Forgotten

Case data is retained for the duration of legal proceedings plus a statutory 3-year audit period.

  • You may request permanent deletion of your personal data at any time via your dashboard.
  • Upon deletion, all digital footprints are scrubbed from our active servers.
