1. Introduction

Heydasch Law PLLC ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to:

We comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable laws. By using our services, you agree to this policy.

The privacy laws of some jurisdictions (e.g., California, Virginia, and the European Union) define personally identifying information broadly to include de-identified feedback provided to us, even when it is impractical to reveal your identity with such information. Some jurisdictions (e.g., the EU, UK, CA, VA, CO, CT, UT) also recognize "sensitive personal information" or "special categories of personal data," such as ethnicity, religious beliefs, or sexual preferences. You may exercise your privacy rights as outlined below.

2. Information We Collect

A. Personal Data

B. Automated Collection

C. Third-Party Data

We may obtain personal data from clients, third-party vendors, or partners who have the right to provide it to us. Such data may include personal identifiers to facilitate communication or case-related activities. We may also receive de-identified third-party data (e.g., demographic, interest, or behavioral information) to enhance our services through segmentation. We use good faith efforts to ensure such data remains de-identified using methods like Research IDs, encryption, hashing, pixel tagging, or cookies.

3. How We Use Your Data

Purpose Legal Basis (GDPR) U.S. Basis

We do not process personal data in a way incompatible with the purposes for which it was collected or subsequently authorized without your consent or a compelling legal basis.

4. Data Sharing

We may share data with:

We do not sell personal data in the traditional sense, nor do we rent, sell, or share it for direct marketing purposes. However, certain laws (e.g., CCPA) define "sale" broadly, and some activities may fall under this definition. California residents may submit a "do not sell" request, which we treat as a request to delete personal information.

A. GDPR/UK Rights

B. U.S. Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

To exercise these rights, contact our Privacy Officer at Axel@heydaschlaw.com or call (305) 897-6763. We may verify your identity by requesting basic contact information and details about your last interaction with us. Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf with written authorization, subject to identity verification. If we cannot match your information due to de-identification, we will use good faith efforts to process your request in accordance with applicable laws.

6. International Transfers

Data collected from the EU, UK, or Switzerland and transferred to the U.S. is protected via:

We comply with DPF Principles of Notice, Choice, Accountability for Onward Transfer, Security, Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation, Access, and Recourse, Enforcement, and Liability. For more information, visit www.dataprivacyframework.gov.

7. Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with contractual, legal, or regulatory obligations. The retention period depends on the purpose of collection, industry standards, and our legal rights.

8. Information Security

We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect personal data, including:

Third parties receiving personal data are required to maintain similar safeguards. While we use commercially reasonable efforts to protect data, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children and Minors

We comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose information from children under 13 without parental consent. We do not "sell" personal information of persons under 16 without affirmative authorization (opt-in from consumers aged 13-16 or parental consent for those under 13). To opt out of such sales, contact us as outlined in Section 5. For more information on COPPA, visit www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm.
