Privacy Policy
Version 1.0 · In force since 10 September 2026
This policy explains how the personal data you provide on this site is processed, under Chilean Law No. 21,719 on the protection of personal data.
01Data controller
The controller of the personal data collected on this site is Dupouy Méndez & Cía. Ltda. (Dupouy & Méndez Abogados), with offices at Badajoz 45, Piso 17, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile. For any matter relating to this policy you may write to contacto@dmcia.cl or call +56 2 2940 2395.
02What data we process
Only what you voluntarily enter in the contact form: full name, email address, company, phone, reason for the enquiry and any message you choose to include. This site uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking pixels, and loads no resources from third-party servers, so it collects no data about your browsing.
03Purpose
The data is processed for the sole purpose of answering your enquiry and assessing a possible professional engagement. It is not used for profiling or automated decision-making, and it is not used for unsolicited commercial communications.
04Lawful basis
Processing is based on the free, informed, specific and unambiguous consent you give by ticking the corresponding box before submitting the form, under article 12 of Chilean Law No. 21,719. That consent may be withdrawn at any time, without retroactive effect, by writing to contacto@dmcia.cl.
05Recipients and processors
Data is never sold, transferred or disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes. Only the firm's staff handling your enquiry have access. The form is submitted through your own device's email client, so the message travels via the email provider you already use and the firm's own; no intermediary form service is involved.
06Retention periods
Enquiries that do not lead to a professional engagement are kept for a maximum of twenty-four months from the last contact and are then deleted. If the enquiry leads to a contractual relationship, retention follows that relationship and applicable legal obligations, including tax and anti-money-laundering requirements.
07Your rights
You may at any time request access to your data, its rectification where inaccurate, its erasure, objection to processing, portability and blocking, under Law No. 21,719. To exercise them, write to contacto@dmcia.cl stating the right concerned; the request will be answered within the statutory time limits. If you believe your rights have not been properly addressed, you may complain to the competent supervisory authority.
08Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are applied to protect the data against loss, unauthorised access or improper disclosure, including HTTPS transport encryption across every page of this site and role-based access control within the firm.
09Professional secrecy
Information shared through the form does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship until both parties expressly confirm it in writing. Notwithstanding, the firm treats every enquiry with the confidentiality required by professional secrecy.
