Privacy Policy

1. Purpose of Processing Personal Data

Saemunan Law Office operates Saemunan Law & Form to deliver legal intake, consultation, and case management services. We collect and use personal data to:

• review online inquiry forms and provide preliminary legal guidance
• prepare legal service proposals, retainers, and filings
• respond to client questions and provide status updates

2. Personal Data We Collect

The information we request depends on the service being requested. Typical data categories include:

• identity and contact data such as full name, phone number, email address, and mailing address
• case background details required to evaluate legal options
• supporting documents that you choose to upload to support your application

We treat all data submitted through the site as confidential client information.

3. Retention Period

We retain personal data only for as long as required to satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, and deliver the requested services. In general, application records are archived for up to five years after a matter closes, unless a longer retention period is required under Korean law.

4. Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell or rent personal information. Data may be shared with courts, public agencies, or professional partners only when:

• you provide explicit consent for the specific disclosure
• sharing is legally required to submit filings or comply with a court order
• service providers such as secure email, cloud storage, or customer support tools need limited access to process data on our behalf

Every external partner is bound by confidentiality commitments consistent with this policy.

5. Your Rights

Under applicable privacy laws you may request to access, correct, delete, or suspend the processing of your personal data. Requests can be made using the contact details below. We will verify your identity and respond without undue delay, unless a statutory exemption applies.

6. Data Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorised access or disclosure. These measures include access controls, encrypted transmission, and secure storage practices. No online service, however, can guarantee absolute security.
