Cookies

Suggested text: If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data

Suggested text: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: October 24, 2023

A.S.H.A. Law Office PLLC (“A.S.H.A.,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, use our online assessment tools, subscribe to updates, schedule a consultation, or otherwise communicate with us through the website.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, such as:

your name;
email address;
company or organization;
telephone number;
information submitted through contact, scheduling, or assessment forms; and
information you provide when communicating with us.

You may be able to use certain website resources, including portions of our DOJ Data Security Program assessment, without providing identifying information.

Our website and service providers may also automatically receive limited technical information associated with your visit, such as your IP address, browser or device information, referring pages, and information about how the website is used.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the website to:

respond to inquiries and requests;
provide requested website tools or assessment results;
schedule consultations;
evaluate requests for legal services;
communicate with you about A.S.H.A. services;
send legal or regulatory updates when you have elected to receive them;
operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website; and
comply with applicable legal and professional obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

3. DSP Assessment and Other Online Tools

A.S.H.A. may provide online assessments, questionnaires, or educational tools, including tools concerning the DOJ Data Security Program.

Where permitted by the applicable tool, you may complete an assessment without providing your name, company, or contact information.

Information submitted through an online assessment is used to provide the requested assessment or related functionality and for other purposes described at the point of collection.

Online assessments are provided for general informational purposes. Completing an assessment does not create an attorney-client relationship with A.S.H.A.

Please do not submit confidential, privileged, or highly sensitive information through the website unless A.S.H.A. has specifically instructed you to do so.

4. Email Updates

If you choose to receive A.S.H.A. updates, we may use your email address and other information you voluntarily provide to send information concerning legal, regulatory, privacy, cybersecurity, national-security, and related developments.

Subscription is optional. You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe mechanism included in our communications.

5. Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers to operate our website and provide functions such as website hosting, online forms and assessments, scheduling, email communications, analytics, security, and other business services.

These providers may process information on our behalf in connection with providing those services.

Third-party services may also be governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, analytics, or other purposes.

The specific technologies used may change as the website evolves. Where required by applicable law, we will provide appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

7. Information Security

A.S.H.A. uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information under our control.

However, no website, electronic communication, or information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore avoid transmitting confidential or highly sensitive information through general website forms or ordinary email unless instructed otherwise.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to meet our professional and legal obligations, resolve disputes, protect our rights, and maintain appropriate business records.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.

9. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

You may contact us to request that we update or correct information you have provided through the website or to ask questions about our handling of your information.

Depending on where you reside, applicable law may provide additional rights regarding your personal information. We will respond to qualifying requests as required by applicable law.

You may unsubscribe from marketing or informational email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in those communications.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. A.S.H.A. is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites or services.

11. Children

The website and A.S.H.A.'s legal services are directed to businesses and adults and are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through the website.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our website, services, or legal obligations change.

When we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and provide additional notice where required by applicable law.
