YK Law Australia is finalising its formal privacy policy. This page states what is true of this website today.
What this site collects
This site loads no advertising or third-party analytics script, and it does not track you from one website to another. It does use limited first-party cookies if you accept them, keeps a short server log of each page request, and stores information you choose to send through the enquiry form or website assistant. Each is described below.
Cookies
The first time you visit, we ask whether you accept cookies for the website assistant. A first-party cookie remembers that choice so the banner does not reappear on every page. If you accept the separate terms inside the assistant, two additional first-party cookies identify this browser and its current conversation. Those two cookies are inaccessible to page scripts and expire after seven days.
If you decline, you can continue to use the rest of the website. The assistant remains unavailable unless you later change that choice from inside its opening screen.
The visit log
Like almost every website, ours records the requests it answers. For each page opened we keep the network address (IP address) the request came from, the approximate city that address is registered in, which page was opened, the website that linked you here if any, and the description your browser sends of itself. Nothing is written to your device to do this, and no third party is involved: the record is made by our own server as it answers the request.
We use it for one purpose — to understand which pages are read and roughly where readers are — and we keep it for 90 days, after which it is deleted automatically. It is visible only to this firm. We do not use it for advertising, we do not sell or share it, and we do not use it to build a profile of you or to identify you personally, although an IP address can in some circumstances be traced back to a person, which is why it is described here rather than left unmentioned.
The website assistant
The assistant is optional and is limited to information about YK Law published on this website. Before it starts, it asks you to accept its Terms & Conditions. Conversations are stored in this website's Cloudflare D1 database and are visible to authorised administrators of the firm. Starting a new conversation does not remove an earlier one. A conversation remains there until an administrator explicitly deletes it.
To prepare an answer, the service sends your message, recent conversation context and a catalogue of this website's public pages to DeepSeek for processing. DeepSeek therefore acts as a service provider for that part of the interaction. Your message is sent as you wrote it, including a name, email address or telephone number if you give one, so do not put confidential, privileged or sensitive personal information in the assistant.
If you ask the assistant to send an enquiry or meeting request, it asks only for your name, email address and telephone number. Those details are stored with the request in the firm's admin, and the complete conversation is attached to it.
The enquiry form
The enquiry form on the contact page sends what you type to us so that we can answer you. It is stored on our behalf using Cloudflare infrastructure and is visible to authorised administrators of this firm. We keep it for as long as we need it to deal with your enquiry and any matter arising from it.
We do not use it for marketing and we do not pass it to anyone else. If you would rather not use the form, the telephone number and email address on the contact page reach the same people.
The embedded map
The contact page embeds a Google map so you can find our office. That map is served by Google, and loading it means your browser contacts Google, which may set its own cookies and record the request. That is Google's collection, governed by Google's privacy policy, not ours.
Information you send us directly
When you telephone or email us, we hold what you tell us in order to respond and to act for you. Information given to us in the course of a legal matter is confidential and, where it applies, subject to legal professional privilege.
Asking us about your information
To ask what we hold about you, to correct it, to ask us to delete it, or to raise a privacy concern, contact our Sydney office. If you want the visit log entries for your address removed, tell us roughly when you visited and we will remove them.
