The Legal Basis for Our Processing of Your Personal Information

Our legal basis for the collection and processing of your data will depend on the context in which the data is collected and the relevant laws. In general, we collect and process your personal information on one or more of the following bases: Consent (where you have provided express consent to us for our use of your personal information, e.g., to subscribe to our newsletter, or acceptance of cookies), Contractual (to enable us to perform our obligations under a contract with you, such as web design or maintenance services), Legitimate Interests (as may be required for our legitimate business interests, provided that such interests are not displaced by your rights and interests), and Legal, Regulatory and Professional Requirements (where required in accordance with applicable law, regulation, professional law or ethics rules, or in accordance with court orders).

The Personal Information We Disclose to Third Parties

Esperto Legal Web Design Agency will safeguard your information and treat it with the utmost confidentiality, and we will not sell or rent your personal information to anyone else. We may share information about you as follows:

With Affiliates: We may share with companies within our corporate family, which are obligated to protect your information.

Business Transfers: In connection with a possible sale, merger, or other transfer of some or all of our business assets, client information, such as your contact and profile information, may be sold or transferred. If that occurs, however, you will be notified of such a change in control or use of your personal information, and an opportunity will be provided to opt out.

All such disclosures are undertaken in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws and regulations as they relate to the protection of personal information.

Data Security Protection and Safeguards

We take the protection of your information seriously and have put in place industrial-grade measures to safeguard the data that you provide against loss, unauthorized disclosure, alteration, or destruction. The security measures implemented by us include:

Secure socket layer (SSL) encryption for data transmitted on the website
Network security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify potential threats
Firewalls and intrusion detection systems
Secure access and privileges controls for staff and other partners
Routine information backup and disaster recovery measures
Staff training on privacy and other relevant security standards

While we apply the highest levels of security standards that our service provider(s) afford us, no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Clients should therefore use strong passwords and report all suspicious security incidents to us immediately.

Data Retention: How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We retain our user and business information only for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose mentioned in this Privacy Policy, satisfy our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enhance enforcement of our terms, and maintain our service records. In most cases, your client project details and communications are kept for at least 7 years, which is consistent with our professional and legal industry practices. At that time, or if requested by you (where permitted by law), your personal data is securely removed or anonymized. Should you wish to make inquiries about our data retention practices or request deletion, please contact us at [email protected].

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) affords you the following additional rights with respect to your personal information:

Disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
Deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions
Information regarding the sale or disclosure of your personal information to third parties (we do not sell personal information)

Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)

Esperto Legal Web Design Agency is based in Virginia and thereby complies with the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, or VCDPA. The new law mirrors California’s CCPA and accords rights to our users in the Commonwealth of Virginia:

OUR VIRGINIA USERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO:

Access your personal data we have collected
Correct inaccuracies in your personal data we have collected
Delete your personal data
Obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable format
Opt out of the processing of your data for targeted advertising/target audience/”profiling.”

You may exercise these rights directly by contacting [email protected] or (757) 339-5580. We will honor your privacy clearly stated preferences and comply with Virginia statutes as required.

The Law on GDPR in Austria

Because we aim to serve law firms with headquarters in the United States, we also recognize that some of our clients or visitors to this site are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom. For these clients and visitors, we respect rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection, as specified under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our GDPR lawful bases for data processing are consent, contract performance, and legitimate interests. If you are that client or visitor in the EEA or UK, you can exercise your rights by contacting us at [email protected].

How We Respond to Do Not Track Signals

Some web browsers offer a feature called ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT). DNT is a preference you set in your web browser to inform websites that you do not want to be tracked on the Internet. At this time, our website does not respond to DNT requests because there is currently no consistent industry standard for how those signals should be received. You may opt out of tracking on this site using our cookie consent tool or your browser settings.

Privacy Policy Related Emails

We intend to update you on developments that may have an impact on your privacy. We will notify you of changes to this Privacy Policy by posting those changes prominently, along with the updated effective date, on our website. Depending on the specific service or product involved, we may notify you of major changes via email or client portal, where applicable.

Dispute Resolution and Complaints

Please first contact us at [email protected] or (757) 339-5580, as all privacy complaints are taken seriously and we will work with you to bring any concerns to a prompt resolution. If you are not happy with our response, you may have the right to escalate your privacy complaint to your state’s attorney general or other data protection authorities.

Responsibility for Information for Which You Provide

When you submit information to Esperto Legal Web Design Agency, you have to ensure that the information you submit is accurate and not unlawful. If information you send us is about a third party (such as a partner or employee), you must have authority from that third party or otherwise be legally entitled to disclose to us.
