Privacy Policy
At DPASCUAL Law Office (“DP Law,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), we value your privacy and are committed to safeguarding all personal information entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, storage, and protection of personal data in accordance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 of the Republic of the Philippines, as well as applicable international data protection standards where relevant.
We are a Philippine-based legal services provider serving both individual and corporate clients, including those located internationally. In the course of providing legal services, we may collect and process various categories of personal data, including names, contact details, government-issued identifiers, billing and financial information, case-related documents, communications, and any other information voluntarily provided to us in relation to a legal engagement.
We collect personal data for legitimate legal and operational purposes. These include, but are not limited to, providing legal consultation and representation, maintaining client communications, managing billing and accounting processes, complying with legal and regulatory obligations, preserving firm records, and improving internal operations and service quality. Where applicable, and with your prior consent, we may also use your information to inform you of legal updates or service offerings relevant to your interests.
We do not sell, lease, or trade your personal data to third parties. Disclosure of personal information is made strictly in accordance with the law or where necessary to protect your legal rights or those of the firm. We may be required to disclose personal data to government authorities, courts, or regulatory bodies in the exercise of our legal obligations or lawful mandates. We may also share data with professional service providers (e.g., auditors or IT specialists), but only under strict confidentiality obligations and with appropriate safeguards in place.
We implement appropriate administrative, physical, and technical measures to secure personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, alteration, disclosure, access, and other unlawful processing. Access to personal data within the firm is granted only on a need-to-know basis and is restricted to authorized personnel bound by confidentiality obligations.
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable laws and professional regulations. Upon expiration of the retention period, we securely dispose of or anonymize your data in a manner that prevents unauthorized access or misuse.
If you are located outside the Philippines and choose to engage our services, you understand and agree that your personal data will be processed and stored in the Philippines, and that such processing complies with the applicable data protection standards in your jurisdiction to the extent possible.
As a data subject, you have rights under Philippine data privacy law, including the right to access your personal data, request corrections, object to certain forms of processing, withdraw consent (where applicable), and file a complaint with the National Privacy Commission. To exercise any of these rights or to raise a concern, you may contact us at the address provided below.
