1. Introduction
Divine Afuba & Associates (“the Firm”, “we”, “our”) is a law firm based in Douala, Cameroon. This policy explains what information we collect when you use this website, how we use that information, and the choices you have. We are committed to handling personal data responsibly and in line with applicable Cameroonian and OHADA legal standards.
2. Information we collect
We collect only what is needed to respond to enquiries and operate the website:
- Contact details you provide — name, email, phone number, and the description of your matter, when submitted via our contact form.
- Basic technical data — IP address, browser type, device, and pages visited, collected automatically by our hosting provider for security and aggregate analytics.
- Cookies — this site uses only essential cookies needed to display the page correctly. We do not run third-party advertising trackers.
3. How we use your information
Submitting the contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship. A formal engagement only begins once we have agreed on scope and terms in writing.
- To respond to your enquiry and assess whether we can assist with your matter.
- To provide legal services if a formal engagement is agreed.
- To comply with our professional, legal, and regulatory obligations.
- To protect the security and reliability of this website.
4. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only with:
- Trusted service providers (e.g., hosting and form-handling) acting on our instructions and under confidentiality obligations.
- Courts, regulators, or other authorities, where disclosure is required by law or professional duty.
5. Confidentiality & legal privilege
Communications between clients and the Firm are protected by professional secrecy under Cameroonian law. Information shared through the contact form is treated as confidential, but should not include highly sensitive details until a formal engagement is in place.
6. Data retention
Enquiry details are retained only as long as needed to respond and to maintain reasonable records. Engaged-client files are retained in line with our professional obligations.
7. Your rights
You may ask us to confirm what personal data we hold about you, correct inaccurate data, or request deletion where consistent with our legal duties. Write to us at the address below.
8. Third-party links
Our site may link to third-party websites (e.g., maps, social media). Their content and privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not ours.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of the page reflects the most recent revision.
