Last updated: October 2026
Who we are
Doulah & Doulah, Advocates is a law firm with offices in Dhaka and Chattogram, Bangladesh. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through this website and in the course of providing legal services.
Questions about this policy can be sent to doulah@doulah.com.
Information we collect
We collect personal information in the following ways:
- Information you give us directly — your name, email address, telephone number, organisation and the content of your enquiry when you use the contact form or email us.
- Information collected automatically — basic technical data such as browser type, device type, pages visited and approximate location, used to understand how the site is used.
- Information provided in the course of an engagement — the material necessary to advise you, including identification and verification documents.
How we use it
We use personal information to:
- Respond to enquiries and provide legal services.
- Carry out conflict checks, client identification and anti-money-laundering verification.
- Administer billing, accounts and record keeping.
- Send updates and publications where you have asked to receive them.
- Maintain the security and integrity of our systems, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Confidentiality and legal professional privilege
Information shared with us in the course of an engagement is subject to our professional duty of confidentiality and, where applicable, to legal professional privilege.
Information sent before we have confirmed an engagement and completed conflict checks may not attract that protection. Please do not send confidential material until we have confirmed that we are able to act.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We share it only where necessary — with our professional advisers and service providers acting under confidentiality obligations, with courts, regulators and counterparties where required to conduct a matter, and where disclosure is required by law.
Retention and security
We retain client files and related records for the period required by professional and statutory obligations, and for as long as necessary for the purposes described above. We maintain technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold.
Cookies
This site uses only the cookies necessary for it to function and, where enabled, basic analytics to understand site usage. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings.
Your choices
You may ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to stop sending you publications. Write to doulah@doulah.com. Some requests may be limited by our professional obligations to retain records.
