1. What We Collect

When you use our service, we collect the following personal data: your full name, email address, phone number (if provided), nationality, passport biographical page, visa application forms and drafts, financial documents (bank statements, salary slips, tax returns), educational certificates and transcripts, employment records, statements of purpose or cover letters, relationship evidence (for spouse visa audits), previous refusal letters (for reapplication audits), and payment transaction details.

We also collect technical data automatically: IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location (country level, used for payment routing), and pages visited on accuratevisa.com. This is collected via server logs, Google Analytics (GA4, property G-FE1NDCJCM2), and Google Ads conversion tracking (AW-16914902284). Google Analytics uses cookies to measure website traffic and does not access your uploaded documents.

2. Why We Collect It (Legal Basis)

We process your personal data on the following bases. Our processing is governed by Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. Where you are located in a jurisdiction with its own data protection law, we seek to honour equivalent rights:

Contract performance (Article 6(1)(b)): to deliver the audit service you have paid for. This covers processing your visa documents, delivering your report, and handling payment.

Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)): to improve our service, prevent fraud, and maintain security. We have conducted a legitimate interest assessment and concluded that these processing activities are necessary and proportionate, and do not override your rights. You may request a copy of this assessment by contacting us.

Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): to comply with anti-money laundering requirements, professional regulatory obligations, and tax record keeping.

Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): for marketing communications, which you can withdraw at any time by emailing customer@accuratevisa.com.

Special category data (Article 9): Some visa documents may contain data revealing racial or ethnic origin, health information, or religious beliefs. We process this under Article 9(2)(a) (your explicit consent, obtained at the point of document upload) solely for the purpose of the visa audit.

Your documents are processed for the sole purpose of conducting a visa application audit. We do not use your documents for any other purpose, including training AI models, marketing, or sharing with third parties.

3. AI Processing

Our service uses artificial intelligence (Claude by Anthropic) as a preliminary screening tool. AI analyses your documents against immigration rules and generates a draft assessment. This draft is then reviewed, verified and finalised by the reviewing lawyer (Santosh Pandey). No automated decision making with legal or similarly significant effect occurs without human review. Final written advice is always approved by a qualified lawyer before delivery.

When your documents are processed by the AI system, document content is sent to Anthropic's API for analysis. Anthropic's data processing terms provide that API inputs and outputs are not used to train their models. Anthropic processes data in the United States.

4. Lawyer and Client Privilege

Your matter is handled by a qualified lawyer. Information you share with us in connection with seeking legal advice is protected by advocate and client privilege in India under Section 126 of the Indian Evidence Act 1872. We do not waive this privilege except where required by law or with your express written consent.

5. How We Store Your Data

Your documents are stored in encrypted cloud storage (Supabase, hosted on Amazon Web Services infrastructure). Data is encrypted both in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES 256). Access to client documents is restricted to the reviewing lawyer (Santosh Pandey) via authenticated credentials with row level security policies.

We do not store your documents on shared drives, open folders, or any system where third parties could access them.

6. Sub processors and Data Sharing

We share your data with the following third party processors, each under appropriate contractual safeguards:

Each processor has its own privacy policy and data processing agreement. Supabase and AWS maintain SOC 2 Type II compliance. We do not sell your data to anyone.

7. Retention and Deletion

Client documents and written advice are retained for 6 years from the date the matter concludes. This retention period reflects (a) the Indian Limitation Act 1963, (b) professional record keeping obligations applicable to an Advocate in India, and (c) the need to defend any claim arising from the matter.

After 6 years, all documents and personal data are permanently deleted. During the retention period, documents remain encrypted and access is restricted to the reviewing lawyer only. You may request early deletion of your documents by contacting customer@accuratevisa.com, however we may retain records necessary to comply with our professional obligations and to defend any claims.

8. International Transfers

Your data is processed in India (where P&Y Law Offices is based) and stored on servers in the United States or European Union (via AWS/Supabase). Your data is also processed in the US by Anthropic, SendGrid, and Google as described above.

For users in the United Kingdom, European Economic Area, or other jurisdictions with data transfer restrictions: transfers are made on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses as adopted by the European Commission (decision 2021/914) and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement/Addendum where applicable. We have conducted a Transfer Impact Assessment for transfers to India and the United States and concluded that adequate safeguards are in place, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and contractual commitments from each processor.
