Privacy Policy

Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidentiality

At ElderLawBase, we maintain the highest standards of client confidentiality. All communications between our attorneys and clients are protected by attorney-client privilege under Singapore law. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, protect, and handle your personal and legal information while providing elder law services.

Legal Information We Collect

As your legal representatives, we collect personal information necessary to provide effective elder law services, including personal identification, financial information for estate planning, medical information for healthcare directives, and family details for inheritance planning. All information is collected with your explicit consent and stored securely.

Use of Legal Information

We use your information exclusively to provide legal services, prepare legal documents, communicate with you about your legal matters, and comply with legal and ethical obligations. We never sell, share, or disclose your legal information to unauthorized third parties without your explicit consent or court order.

GDPR Compliance for Legal Services

For clients subject to European Union data protection laws, we comply with GDPR requirements while maintaining attorney-client privilege. You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

- Access your legal file information (subject to legal privilege)
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Request deletion of data (after legal retention periods)
- Object to processing where legally permissible
- Request data portability for non-privileged information

Legal File Security

We maintain secure physical and digital storage for all client files. Our security measures include encrypted document storage, secure communication channels, restricted access to authorized personnel only, and regular security audits and updates.

Information Retention

Client files and legal documents are retained in accordance with Singapore Law Society requirements and professional standards. Legal files are typically retained for minimum periods as required by law, with longer retention for estate planning documents that may need future reference.

Third-Party Disclosures

We may be required to disclose client information only in specific circumstances: court orders or legal subpoenas, requirements under Singapore legal ethics rules, client consent for specific disclosures, or emergency situations involving client safety. All disclosures are made in accordance with legal professional standards.

Updates to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in legal requirements or our practices. Clients will be notified of significant changes in writing. Continued engagement of our services indicates acceptance of updated privacy terms.
