Fakude Law Group

01

Overview

Fakude Law Group respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through fakudelawgroup.com (the “Site”) and when you contact us, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the Site and to inquiries from prospective clients. Information about clients who have engaged the Firm is also protected by the attorney client privilege and our professional duty of confidentiality, which are stricter than this policy.

02

✦Documents or information you send in connection with a consultation or engagement.
✦Technical data collected automatically when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, referring page and the date and time of your visit, recorded by our hosting provider in server logs and through privacy-friendly analytics.

03

✦Respond to your inquiry and schedule consultations.

How we share information

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only as follows:

✦Service providers who help us operate the Site and our practice, such as website hosting, email, document management, scheduling and billing providers, who may use it only to provide services to us.
✦Government agencies, courts, opposing counsel, experts and other parties when necessary to carry out a representation you have authorized, such as filing an application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
✦When required by law, court order or the rules of professional conduct, or to protect the rights, property or safety of the Firm, our clients or others.
✦In connection with a merger, sale or transition of the Firm’s practice, subject to professional conduct rules on client confidentiality.

05

Cookies and analytics

The Site uses only the cookies and similar technologies needed for it to function and to understand overall traffic. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels. You can set your browser to refuse cookies; the Site will continue to work.

06

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections to the Site. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, which is one reason we ask that you not send confidential information before an engagement is in place.

07

Data retention

We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond and to maintain conflict-check records. Client files are retained for the period required by the rules of professional conduct and applicable law, and then securely disposed of.

08

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of or deletion of your personal information, and to opt out of certain uses. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will verify your request and respond as required by applicable law. Some information may need to be retained to meet our legal and ethical obligations, such as conflict-check and client file records.

You may opt out of non-essential emails from the Firm at any time by replying to let us know.

09

Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Site. Information about minors in family-based immigration or other matters is collected only from a parent, guardian or authorized representative in connection with a representation.
