Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Mkali & Partners Training Chambers (“we”, “us”) operates this website to provide information about our legal practice, DIY document tools, AI orientation, and ways to contact advocates. We process personal data in line with the Personal Data Protection Act, Cap. 44 (R.E. 2023) of Tanzania and guidance from the Personal Data Protection Commission where applicable.

2. What we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may collect: name, phone, email, organisation, matter description you submit via contact or “ask” forms, appointment preferences, and technical logs needed to keep the service secure. DIY document interviews may collect facts you type to generate a draft — treat those as confidential client information.

3. Why we process data

• Respond to enquiries and schedule consultations
• Provide AI orientation (general information, not legal advice) and DIY document drafts
• Operate, secure, and improve this website
• Meet professional, regulatory, and record-keeping duties of a law practice

4. Legal basis

We rely on your consent (forms and cookie choices), steps prior to a contract or mandate, our legitimate interests in running a secure professional website, and legal obligations applicable to advocates and law firms.

5. Sharing

We do not sell your data. We may share limited data with IT/hosting providers, payment processors (if you buy a document draft), and regulators or courts when required by law or professional duty. Matter information shared with advocates is handled under advocate–client confidentiality rules.

6. Retention

Enquiry and website logs are kept only as long as needed for follow-up, security, and legal retention. Client-file retention follows our engagement terms and professional rules once you become a client.

7. Your rights

Subject to Tanzanian law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or withdrawal of consent for marketing-style communications. Contact us using the details on our Contact page. This does not affect confidentiality rules for open matters.

8. Cookies

See our Cookie Notice. Essential storage (language, theme, cookie choice) may be used without advertising trackers unless we tell you otherwise.

9. Updates

We may update this policy; the page date and content will change when we do. Continued use of the site after material updates means you should re-read this page.
