PRIVACY POLICY

Revised December 30, 2024

This Privacy Policy describes how Peddycord Law (“Peddycord Law”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, stores, uses, and shares the information obtained through our website and services.

As a law firm, our practices comply with the California Rules of Professional Conduct, the State Bar of California, and other applicable professional regulations. If this Privacy Policy conflicts with those rules, applicable fee agreements with our clients, or obligations under the attorney-client relationship, those rules, agreements, or obligations will govern. This Privacy Policy is not intended to be all-inclusive and applies only to information processed through our website and related services.

Submitting information through our website does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not submit proprietary or confidential information through our website or via email without prior approval.

Information We Collect from You

We may collect personal information, including first and last name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, and other contact details you provide that can identify you personally.

We collect this information when you:

  • Areas of our website you visit, activities you engage in, and preferences.
  • Device location, characteristics, and access times.

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and analyze this information. These technologies are used to analyze website usage and may improve user experience and functionality over time. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may limit certain features. Our website does not currently respond to Do-Not-Track signals.

  • Respond to inquiries or requests.

Information Collected Through Third-Party Interactions

Our website may include links or tools that facilitate interactions with third-party websites or applications. These third parties may share information with us. For example, we may provide links to social media platforms or use third-party email services. Their practices are not governed by this Privacy Policy. Review their privacy policies before using their tools or services.

How We Share Information

We do not process sensitive information (e.g., social security numbers, or financial data) through this website, and we do not sell your personal information.

We may share information with:

  • Third-party service providers such as vendors, contractors, or agents assisting in delivering our services, such as accountants, web hosting platforms, payment processors, and data storage providers or analytics providers.
  • Social media platforms or communication tools, when you use related features on our website.

We may also share information if required by law or a court order.

We take reasonable precautions to protect personal information; however, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any data.

Access and Deletion

Peddycord Law does not meet the thresholds for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the California Shine the Light Act to apply, and as a result, we are not required to respond to related consumer access requests at this time. However, if you live in certain regions with applicable data protection laws, you may have rights such as:

  • Requesting access to and obtaining a copy of your personal information.
  • Requesting rectification or erasure of your personal information.
  • Restricting the processing of your personal information.
  • Data portability.

For specific requests regarding the handling or deletion of your information, please contact us. We will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your requests.

Updates to Our Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. The revised policy will be effective upon publication. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed. Continued use of our website or services constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. If you disagree, your sole recourse is to discontinue use of the website or services.
