Introduction
This page explains Salahi PC’s privacy policies regarding use of our website and online services.
Categories of Information Processed
We receive and process various categories of information about you. Some of it is provided to us automatically by your Internet browser whenever you visit the website. That information may include information like your IP address, cookies, browser, operating system, and device details, and referral URL information. If you came to this website through a link on another platform, such as an advertisement, we might receive similar information from that platform, too. If you are on our mailing list or receive emails from us, those emails might also receive that kind of information from you through the inclusion of an embedded image that tracks whether you have opened the email or followed any links from it. We receive and process this information for analytical purposes in order to improve our online services and preserve their stability and security. We may also use services provided by third-party vendors, such as Google, Meta, Facebook, Instagram, WordPress, Clio, and DocuSign, which may provide us with similar information.
In addition to information that is provided to us automatically, we may ask you to provide us with information about you, too, like your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and information about the issues you are seeking help with. This will usually occur on intake forms on our website, on third-party services we use like Clio, or in response to advertisements published on other websites. If you submit that kind of information to us through a third-party website, that website may send us information about any accounts you maintain on that platform, too. We use this information to determine whether we can provide you with any assistance and for analysis of how to improve services and marketing efforts.
Purposes of Collecting Personal Information
As noted above, we collect certain information from you in order to determine whether we can provide you with legal services, to improve our marketing efforts, and to improve the quality and security of our online presence.
We Do Not Sell Your Information To Third-Parties
We don’t sell any of the information we collect from you to third-parties. However, in limited circumstances, some of that information is shared in order to facilitate the provision of services to you. For example, we use case management software that is provided by a third-party. Information you provide us about your case will be stored in that platform in order to facilitate the efficient provision of legal services. Additionally, the third-party vendors we utilize for web hosting, email, and marketing have access to the same information that we receive from them about your use of our website.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
On occasion, we might embed content, like videos, images, articles, marketing software, or otherwise, on our website. Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you had visited the other website directly. Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Retention Policy
The data we collect is retained indefinitely and is not subject to any regular destruction schedule.
Rights of California Consumers
California Civil Code section 1798.83 requires covered businesses to provide California consumers, upon request, the identity of any third parties to whom the business has disclosed personal information within the previous calendar year, along with the type of personal information disclosed, for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information about you to any third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) also provides California consumers with several important rights. The CCPA provides consumers a right to know (1) the categories and/or specific pieces of personal information a business has collected about it; (2) the categories of sources for that personal information; (3) the purposes for which the business uses that information; (4) the categories of third parties with whom the business discloses that information; and (5) the categories of information that the business sells or discloses to third parties. Consumers are allowed to request that information twice a year without charge. The CCPA also provides consumers with a right to request that a business delete personal information collected from you and to tell their service providers to do the same, with limited exception (for example, if the business is legally required to keep the information for a period of time). The CCPA also provides consumers with the right to request that businesses correct inaccurate information they may have about you. Finally, the CCPA provides consumers with the right not to receive discriminatory treatment by the business for exercising any rights under the CCPA, including a right for employees, applicants, and independent contractors not to face retaliation for exercising those rights. If you are a California resident and would like to exercise any of these rights, please visit the “Contact” page and submit a request using the general intake form.
