Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
1. About this policy
Korn Tlais Defence Lawyers (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “firm”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal information, and how we comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). It applies to information collected through this website and in the course of providing legal services.
2. The information we collect
We collect personal information you provide directly — for example through our contact form, by telephone or email, or when you engage us. This may include your name, contact details, and details of the legal matter you describe to us. Because we are a criminal defence practice, the information you give us may include sensitive information (such as information about alleged offences or criminal matters). We collect sensitive information only with your consent and only where it is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, providing legal services.
3. How we use your information
We use personal information to respond to your enquiry, to provide legal advice and representation, to administer our relationship with you, to meet our professional and legal obligations, and for related internal purposes. We do not sell your personal information. Submitting an enquiry through this website does not create a lawyer–client relationship; that is established only when we formally agree to act for you.
4. Disclosure
We may disclose your information to courts, tribunals, barristers, experts, agents and other third parties where reasonably necessary to act on your matter and to the extent you have authorised, or where we are required or permitted by law. Information you provide is otherwise treated in the strictest confidence and, where it relates to a matter we are retained on, is protected by legal professional privilege.
5. Security and storage
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We retain information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law, after which it is securely destroyed or de-identified.
6. Cookies and website analytics
This website may use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site and to improve it. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function as intended. Where analytics or tracking is used, it is described here and used in accordance with this policy.
7. Accessing and correcting your information
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete. Contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time, and will let you know if we are unable to provide access or make a correction, and why.
8. Complaints
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 contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page.
