Privacy Policy
How we handle personal information, in plain language.
This policy explains how Aamir Mirza Law Associates handles the personal information of those who contact us, request a consultation or instruct us. We treat personal information with the discretion that private clients expect, and we keep this policy in plain language so that it is genuinely useful. We may update it from time to time, and the version published here is the current one.
Who we are
Aamir Mirza Law Associates is a private client advisory practice based in Islamabad, advising on residence, citizenship and global mobility for families, investors and entrepreneurs. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Aamir Mirza Law Associates.
Information we may collect
We ask only for what is relevant to the matter you bring to us. This may include:
- identity details, such as your name, nationality, date of birth and family details;
- contact details, such as your email and address;
- information about your circumstances, objectives and interests;
- documents you provide for an assessment or an application, which may include identity documents, financial information and supporting evidence;
- correspondence between us.
How we collect information
We may collect information when you complete a consultation request on this website, when you email or otherwise correspond with us, during consultations, and in the course of preparing and conducting a matter on your instruction. We may also receive information from people you authorise to provide it on your behalf, such as your other advisers.
Why we use your information
We use personal information in order to:
- respond to your enquiry or consultation request;
- assess eligibility and advise on suitable options;
- prepare and conduct applications on your instruction;
- coordinate, where relevant, with your other professional advisers;
- meet our legal, regulatory and due diligence obligations;
- manage our relationship with you and keep proper records.
We use your information only for the purposes for which it was provided, or for closely related purposes.
Sensitive information and immigration documents
Residence and citizenship matters often involve sensitive information, including identity documents, family details and financial information. We collect such information only where it is necessary for the matter, we handle it with particular care, and we use it solely for that matter unless you agree otherwise or we are required to act differently by law.
Sharing your information
We do not sell personal information. We may share it where this is necessary for the matter you have instructed, including with:
- your other professional advisers, where you ask us to coordinate with them;
- independent licensed tax advisers, where lawful tax and wealth planning considerations are relevant;
- authorised service providers who assist us in delivering our services and who are bound to protect your information;
- parties connected to a residence or citizenship route, where your application requires it;
- government authorities, regulators or others, where we are required to do so by law or to meet due diligence obligations.
We share only what is necessary, and only for the purpose in question.
International transfers
Residence and citizenship matters are international by nature. Where a matter requires it, your information may be transferred to, or accessed from, jurisdictions outside the one in which it was collected. Where we make such transfers, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information continues to be protected.
Data security
We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we ask that you do not send highly sensitive documents by insecure means. Where you need to provide such documents, please ask us about a secure method.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information for as long as is necessary for the matter, and thereafter for the period required to meet our legal, regulatory and professional obligations. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to dispose of it securely.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you;
- correct information that is inaccurate;
- delete information where we are not required to keep it;
- restrict or object to certain uses;
- withdraw consent where we rely on it.
We will respond to reasonable requests in line with applicable law. Some information may need to be retained where we are required to keep it.
