Privacy policy
Lang Litigation and Construction Law (we, us, our) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information, including through this website. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and our professional obligations of confidentiality as legal practitioners.
What we collect
The personal information we collect depends on how you deal with us. It usually includes your name, organisation, contact details and the information you provide about your enquiry or matter. If we act for you, we will also collect the information we need to provide legal services, which may include information about other people involved in your matter, and identity and billing information.
When you visit this website, our website provider may automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the date and time of your visit.
How we collect it
We collect personal information directly from you where we can, for example when you contact us through this website, by email or by phone, or when you instruct us. We may also collect it from third parties, such as other parties to a matter and their representatives, courts and tribunals, experts, public registers and referrers.
Why we use it
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, to decide whether we can act (including checking for conflicts of interest), to provide and bill for legal services, to manage our practice, to meet our legal and professional obligations, and to improve this website. If you ask to receive updates or articles from us, we may also use your details for that purpose, and you can opt out at any time.
Who we disclose it to
We only disclose personal information where it is needed for the purposes above, where you have consented, or where we are required or permitted by law. Depending on your matter, this may include barristers, experts, courts and tribunals, other parties and their lawyers, and our service providers (such as IT, cloud storage, email and website providers). We do not sell personal information.
Overseas disclosure
Some of our service providers store data outside Australia. In particular, this website is hosted by Squarespace, which may store information (including contact form submissions) in the United States and other countries. We take reasonable steps to use reputable providers with appropriate security.
Cookies and analytics
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and to understand how visitors use it. The information collected is generally aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, although parts of the website may not work as intended.
Security and retention
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, change or disclosure. We keep client files for the periods required by law and our professional obligations, and then securely destroy or de-identify them.
Please don't send confidential information through this website
Sending us an enquiry does not make us your lawyers. Until we have confirmed that we can act for you, please limit the information you send to what we need to understand your enquiry and check for conflicts.
Access, correction and complaints
You can ask to access or correct the personal information we hold about you by contacting us. We may refuse access in some circumstances, for example where the information is subject to legal professional privilege or confidentiality owed to someone else, and we will explain why.
If you have a concern about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au.
