 This Privacy Policy sets out how NepalLaws collects, uses, stores and protects information about visitors to this website. It has been prepared in accordance with the Constitution of Nepal 2072, the Individual Privacy Act 2075 (the “Privacy Act”) and the Electronic Transactions Act 2063. By continuing to use this website, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy. 

1. About NepalLaws 

NepalLaws is an online platform that publishes articles, commentary and information about the laws of Nepal. It is an informational resource and does not provide legal services or legal advice of any kind. This website is operated from Nepal and is intended primarily for users within Nepal, though it may be accessed from elsewhere. 

2. Our Commitment to Privacy 

We respect the right to privacy guaranteed under Article 28 of the Constitution of Nepal 2072, which protects privacy of body, residence, property, documents, data, correspondence and character. We are committed to handling any personal information in a manner consistent with the Individual Privacy Act 2075 and to collecting only what is necessary for the operation of this website. 

3. Information We Collect 

3.1 Information You Provide 

If you contact us through our website, for example by submitting an enquiry form or sending us an email, we may collect your name and email address along with the content of your message. We do not require you to create an account or register to read content on this website. 

3.2 Information Collected Automatically 

When you visit this website, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect certain technical information, including: 

• your Internet Protocol (IP) address 
• the browser type and version you are using 
• the pages you visit on this website and the time you spend on them 
• the date and time of your visit 
• the website from which you arrived at our site 

This information is collected in aggregate form and is generally not linked to any personally identifiable information. It is used only for the purpose of understanding how our website is used and improving the experience for visitors. 

3.3 Cookies 

This website may use cookies, which are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help us understand which pages are visited most frequently and allow third-party services such as Google Analytics to provide us with anonymised usage statistics. You can disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of this website. 

In accordance with the Individual Privacy Act 2075, where cookies or similar technologies collect information that could directly or indirectly identify you, we will use that information only for the purpose for which it was collected. 

4. How We Use Your Information 

We use information collected through this website for the following purposes: 

• to respond to enquiries and messages you send us 
• to operate, maintain and improve this website 
• to understand how visitors use our content and what information is most useful to them 
• to detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity 

We do not use your information for marketing purposes and we do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for commercial gain. 

5. Legal Basis for Processing 

Under the Individual Privacy Act 2075, personal information must be collected with the knowledge and consent of the individual concerned, and it must be used only for the purpose for which it was collected. Where we collect your contact information because you have chosen to contact us, the basis for processing that information is your consent. Where we process technical data automatically through the normal operation of our website, this is done to keep the site secure and to understand its usage, which constitutes a legitimate operational purpose. 

6. Data Storage and Security 

We take reasonable steps to protect any personal information held by us from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. This includes the use of appropriate technical measures for our website and hosting environment, consistent with the requirements of the Electronic Transactions Act 2063, which requires organisations handling electronic data to maintain reasonable security safeguards. 

Please note, however, that no transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we take all reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to or from this website. 

7. Retention of Information 

We will retain any personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Contact information provided by visitors who have sent us an enquiry will be retained only for as long as is needed to respond to and resolve that enquiry, unless you have given consent for us to retain it longer. 

8. Your Rights 

Under the Individual Privacy Act 2075, you have the right to: 

• know whether we hold personal information about you 
• request access to any personal information we hold about you 
• request that inaccurate personal information be corrected 
• request the deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal obligations that may require us to retain it 
• withdraw your consent to processing at any time, where processing is based on consent 

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the address provided at the end of this document. We will respond to requests within a reasonable time and in any event within thirty days. 

9. Third-Party Services 

This website may use third-party services including Google Analytics for website traffic analysis. These services operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through our website. We do not control the data practices of those third parties and are not responsible for their use of your information.
