1. Introduction

Welcome. You have arrived at a website provided by Los DefensoresĀ® (“Los Defensores”, “Company”, “we“, “us” or “our“) or one of our affiliates. Our mission is to close the gap between a law firm’s need for growth and an underserved community’s need for reliable legal services.

We take your privacy seriously. We make this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) available to inform you what information we collect about you, how we obtain it, how we share it, and how you may limit the ways in which we use your personal information. If you have questions about this Policy after reviewing it, please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

2. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Policy applies when you use or access the following website or any other website or landing page operated by us with a link to this Policy, including its subdomains or portals (collectively, the “sites“) or when you provide personal information or interact with us online, through phone calls or other communications with our representatives or in person: https://www.losdefensores.com/

For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” means information that identifies you, refers to you or your household, or that may be associated with the same. The definition of personal information does not include publicly available information from federal, state or local government records. We refer to all of the above as our “services“. Our Services are used by people who contact us seeking legal services (“users“), lawyers, firms, and law firms with which we collaborate (“firms“) and people seeking employment with us (“job applicants“).

Please note that if you provide your data when interacting with our sites or services, we will consider that you agree to our collection, use and disclosure of your data as set forth in this Policy. This Policy is incorporated into our Terms and Conditions of Use that govern your use of the sites.

The use of this functionality could result in third-party sites providing us with information. For example, we may obtain information from third parties about traffic and use of our sites. We may also provide links to facilitate sending a communication from the sites, or we may use third parties to facilitate sending emails or posting on social networks (such as a “share” or “forward” button). These third parties also use cookies and other tracking technologies to capture information about your interactions with us.

4. Use of cookies and other tracking technologies

Tracking technologies may set, change, alter or modify settings or configurations on your device. Some of the tracking technologies used on the sites include, but are not limited to, the following (as well as tracking technologies or methods developed in the future that are not listed here):

6. When we disclose information

As a company, we may need to disclose your personal information to service providers outside our organization who may help us provide you with services, as set forth in this Policy. We may also share or sell your information to third parties, as defined below, for analytics or other purposes.

To the extent permitted by law and any applicable state Professional Code of Conduct, certain non-public information about you may be disclosed in the following situations:

    • To comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies.

    • As part of any legal proceedings or alternative dispute resolution proceedings initiated by or against us, provided that we only disclose the information necessary to file, pursue or defend against the claim and take reasonable precautions to ensure that the information disclosed does not become a matter of public record.

    • During a review of our practices under the authority of a state or national licensing board, or as necessary to properly respond to an inquiry or complaint from such board or licensing organization.

    • In connection with a potential purchase, sale or merger of all or part of our business, if we take appropriate precautions (for example, through a written confidentiality agreement) so that the potential buyer or merger partner does not disclose the information obtained during the review.

    • Providing information to our affiliates and unaffiliated third parties that provide services to us or perform functions in connection with the services we provide to you, but only if we have a contractual agreement with the other party that prohibits them from disclosing or using the information for purposes other than those for which it was disclosed. Examples of such disclosures include the use of a payment processor, a booking provider, a product store, a customer service provider, an email marketing provider or a food delivery service.

We may also share your information, including your personal information, with our affiliates and other third parties, such as companies with which we maintain business or other relationships, for direct marketing purposes. In addition, we may share information we have collected about you, including personal information, as disclosed at the time you provide your information and as described in this Policy.

Finally, we may aggregate, de-identify and/or anonymize any information collected through the sites or services in such a way that such information is no longer linked to your personally identifiable information. We may use and share this aggregated and anonymized information (non-personal information) for any purpose, including, without limitation, for research and marketing purposes, and we may also share this data with our affiliates and third parties, including advertisers, promotional partners and others.

7. Advertisements and information about you

You may see certain advertisements from our sites because we participate in advertising networks administered by third parties. These networks track your online activities over time and across third-party websites and online services by collecting information through automated means, including the use of the tracking technologies described above, and use this information to display advertisements tailored to your individual interests. The information they collect includes data about your visits to our sites, such as the pages you have visited. This collection and targeting of advertisements takes place on our sites and on third-party websites that participate in the advertising network. This process also helps us track the effectiveness of our communications and marketing efforts.

You may opt out of targeted advertising on some platforms by visiting the following pages:

8. Children’s Privacy

Our sites are not intended for use by children under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly solicit or collect any personally identifiable information from children under 18 years of age. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under 18 years of age who you believe has provided us with their data, please contact us through the “Contact Us” section to request the deletion of such data.

9. Visitors to sites outside the United States

Our sites are not intended for visitors who are not located in the United States and we do not direct our activities to users who are outside the United States. All information you receive from the sites will be created on servers located in the U.S., and all information you provide will be maintained on web servers and systems located in the U.S. The data protection laws of the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are located, and your information may be subject to access requests by governments, courts or law enforcement bodies in the United States in accordance with U.S. laws. By using the sites or providing us with any information, you consent to your information being transferred, processed, used, shared and stored in the United States and in other countries, as set forth in this Policy.

10. Third-party links

For your information, the sites and this Policy may contain links to other websites not controlled by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, advertising, products, services or content of such websites. The use of third-party links on our sites should not be construed as our endorsement of such links or as having any relationship with them.

11. Security

We take commercially reasonable steps to help protect and secure your personal information. However, no data transmission over the Internet, mobile networks, wireless transmission or electronic storage of information can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of information you transmit to or from the sites, and you provide us with your information at your own risk.

12. Retention of personal information

For the purposes set forth in this Policy, we will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary. Your personal information will be retained and used to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your personal information to comply with applicable law), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers or those of our external data storage providers.

In some circumstances we may choose to anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without prior notice to you.

When deciding how long to retain your information, we consider:

    • How long we have maintained a relationship with you or provided you with our services;

    • Whether we are subject to any legal obligations (for example, a law requiring us to keep transaction records for a certain period of time before we can delete them).

    • Whether we have adopted any legal position (for example, in relation to a statute of limitations).

13. Your privacy choices

Updating your personal information

We prefer to keep your personal data accurate and up to date. If you would like to change your contact information, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section. We will make good faith efforts to make the requested changes to our then-active databases as soon as reasonably possible (but may retain prior information as business records).

Communication preferences

With your consent, we communicate with you through various channels. You may choose to stop receiving our emails or text messages at any time. To manage your communication preferences with us, or to stop receiving communications altogether, unsubscribe at the bottom of our emails, reply “STOP” to our text messages or contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

Please note that some of your personal information, such as your name or other identifying information, may remain in our database even after an unsubscribe or deletion request, in order to service your account, maintain the integrity and historical record of our database and systems, or to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

If you would prefer that we not share your name and mailing address with third parties (other than our affiliates, service providers and companies), you have the option to opt out. To do so, send us an email at [email protected]. Your choice will not affect our ability to share information in the other ways described in this Policy.

How to control your cookies

In most web browsers, you will find a “help” section on the toolbar. Please refer to this section for information on how to receive a notification when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies. Please see the following links for how to modify your web browser settings in the most popular browsers:

Please note that if you disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of the sites and take advantage of all their features. For more information about cookies and similar technologies and opting out of their use, visit the following websites:

    • The Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) voluntary opt-out page is available here.

    • The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page is available in English here.

You may also click on the informational icon that appears in each interest-based advertisement. We do not control these opt-out links or whether any company chooses to participate in these opt-out programs. We are not responsible for the choices you make using these mechanisms or for the availability or accuracy of the same.

Please note that even if you opt out of these programs, you may still receive advertisements, for example, advertisements based on the website you are viewing (such as contextual and targeted advertisements), or you may continue to receive advertisements that are not targeted to you and may be less relevant. In addition, if your browser (such as some Safari browsers) is set to reject opt-out cookies when you opt out on the DAA or NAI websites, your opt-out may not take effect.

Do Not Track option

Do Not Track (“DNT“) is a web browser setting that requests that a web application disable the tracking of an individual user. When you choose to enable the DNT option in your browser, your browser sends a special signal to websites, companies and analytics services, advertising networks, social platforms and other web services you encounter while browsing to stop tracking your activity. Several third parties are developing or have developed signals or other mechanisms for the expression of consumer choice regarding the collection of information about an individual consumer’s online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services (e.g., browser do-not-track signals), but there is no universally agreed upon standard for what an organization should do when it detects a DNT signal. We currently do not monitor or take any action with respect to these signals or other mechanisms. You can learn more about Do Not Track here.

Analytics

The use of Google Analytics helps us understand how users use the sites and your personal information may be transferred to Google. Learn more about how Google uses your personal information here and disable Google Analytics here.

14. Your privacy rights in California

This section of the Policy applies only to California residents. We adopt this section to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA“) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA“). Any terms defined in the CCPA or CPRA have the same meaning when used in this section.

In addition to the rights described above, California residents have the following rights:

    • To know the categories of personal information collected about you, the purposes for which the categories of information are collected or used, and whether such information is sold or shared;

    • To know how long we intend to retain each category of personal information;

    • To know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed and to whom;

    • To access your personal information;

    • To delete the information you have provided to us, with certain exceptions;

    • To rectify your personal information;

    • To opt out of the sale of personal information;

    • To know whether Sensitive Personal Information (“SPI“) is being collected about you, the categories of SPI being collected, the purposes for which the categories of SPI are collected or used, and whether the SPI is sold or shared;

    • To limit the use of your SPI if it is used for cross-context behavioral advertising or to infer characteristics about you; and

    • To not be discriminated against, even if you exercise your privacy rights.

Request to access, correct, modify or delete information

California residents have the right to request, under certain circumstances, that a business that collects personal information about the consumer disclose the personal information that has been collected during the previous 12 months about the information detailed below:

    • The categories of personal information collected about you;

    • The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected;

    • The business or commercial purpose of collecting, selling or sharing personal information;

    • The categories of third parties to whom the business discloses personal information; and

    • The specific personal information collected about you.

Please note that if we collect information about you for a single transaction and do not retain that information in the ordinary course of business, that information will not be retained for purposes of a request under this section. In addition, if we have de-identified or anonymized data about you, we are not required to re-identify or otherwise link your identity to that data if it is not maintained in that manner in our records.

You may also request that we correct or delete your personal information. In connection with such a request, there may be certain exceptions to our obligation to delete your information, such as if you have an existing account or transaction with us or if we have a legitimate business reason to retain your information.

Do not sell or share my personal information

California consumers also have the right, at any time, to tell us not to sell personal information or share it for cross-contextual behavioral advertising – this is called the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. To do so, click on this link.

Right to limit use of sensitive personal information

California consumers have the right to limit the use of each type of sensitive personal information for each purpose with each type of third-party partner, if the sensitive personal information is used for reasons other than those necessary to provide you with products or services or if it is collected for the purpose of inferring characteristics about a consumer. We already limit the amount of sensitive personal information we collect from you, and we never use it for a purpose other than providing you with our products or services, or for the transaction for which it is necessary.

Right not to be discriminated against

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of the rights granted to you by the CCPA. Unless permitted by California law, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the granting of discounts or other benefits, or the imposition of penalties.
  • Provide you with a different level or quality of goods or services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

However, as permitted by California law, we may offer you certain financial incentives that could result in offering you different prices, rates or quality levels. Any permitted financial incentive we offer you will be reasonably related to the value of your personal information, for example, if you subscribe to a newsletter with us, we may offer you discounts for future Services. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior consent, which you may revoke at any time. We do not offer financial incentives.

Affiliate or third-party marketing

California Civil Code Section 1798.83 allows our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us a list of the personal data (if any) that we have disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes during the prior calendar year, as well as the names and addresses of such third parties. We currently do not disclose personal information protected under this section to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

Exercising your California privacy rights

You or your authorized agent may request access, rectification, deletion, opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal data, or limitation of the use of your sensitive personal information, using the information in the “Contact Us” section below.

If you use an authorized agent to submit your request, we may ask you for proof of the written authorization you have given us. We may also ask you to confirm your identity and residence to obtain the information, and you are only entitled to make this request twice in a 12-month period. For emails, include “California Privacy Rights” in the subject line. You must include your full name, email address and attest to the fact that you are a California resident.

If we are unable to fulfill your request for any reason, we will notify you within the requested timeframe.
