Privacy Statement

 Nydia Shahjahan, Esq. P.C. ("we," "us," or "our") is a law firm based in New York, United States. This Privacy Statement explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information submitted through or collected when you use www.nslawnewyork.com (the "Website").

This Privacy Statement applies to Website visitors globally, subject to applicable law.

The Website collects the following personal information that you choose to provide through its contact or inquiry form:

• your name;
• your email address;
• your telephone number;
• how you heard about us or your referral source; and
• the contents of any message or inquiry you submit through the Website.

We also use cookies and similar technologies that may collect limited technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. See Section 5 for more information.

Please do not submit confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the Website.

We use the information collected through the Website to:

• respond to your inquiry;
• evaluate whether and how we may be able to assist you;
• understand how prospective clients and other visitors learn about our firm;
• administer and improve our client-intake process;
• operate, secure, analyze, and improve the Website;
• comply with legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations; and
• protect our rights, personnel, clients, and business.

Where required by applicable law, we process personal information based on your consent, our legitimate interests, steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Contacting us through the Website, by email, or by telephone does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the Website unless we have confirmed in writing in a formal engagement letter that we represent you in the relevant matter. Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be treated as confidential or privileged to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We may share personal information collected through the Website with:

• our lawyers, staff, and affiliated entities as needed to respond to your inquiry, evaluate a potential engagement, or operate our business;
• service providers that host or support the Website, email, information technology, analytics, security, and business operations, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations;
• courts, regulators, government authorities, professional advisers, insurers, and other parties when necessary to comply with law or professional obligations, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and
• a buyer, successor, or other participant in a merger, reorganization, financing, or similar business transaction.

We do not sell personal information for money. We do not use personal information collected through the Website for targeted advertising.

We use cookies and similar technologies to enable core Website functions, remember preferences, protect the Website, understand Website use, and improve its performance. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.

Some cookies are necessary for the Website to function. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using non-essential cookies. You may manage your cookie preferences through the website or your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the Website's functionality.

We may use third-party analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Website. Those providers may use cookies or similar technologies under their own privacy policies.

We are based in the United States. Your personal information may be processed in the United States or another country where our service providers operate. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws of your country of residence.

When required by applicable law, we will use an appropriate legal mechanism to protect international transfers of personal information, such as standard contractual clauses or another approved transfer mechanism. You may contact us for more information about these safeguards at contact@nslawnewyork.com.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, administer our client-intake process, operate and improve the Website, meet legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our legal rights.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information. No internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about our processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to certain processing, withdraw consent, request portability, or file a complaint with a privacy regulator.

Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent for material changes.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Privacy Statement and any dispute arising from or relating to the Website will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.
