We may collect the following Personal Information about you:

We may also automatically collect certain information about you as you interact with this Website or any Services, such as your internet protocol address, pages you visit, content you download, and ways you interact with the Website or Services, such as swipes and recommendations. We also may automatically collect information from cookies. Generally, this information is collected in aggregate form, which means we cannot personally identify you through these mechanisms.

How We Use Personal Information. We use Personal Information to facilitate the provision of your requested services, such as to fulfill legal service requests. We may also use Personal Information to track user behavior, improve our products and services, communicate with you regarding this Website or the Services, and generate statistics and trend data for internal and external business purposes, such as marketing campaigns and social media advertising. We also use Personal Information to comply with applicable legal or regulatory obligations, including as part of a judicial proceeding; to respond to a subpoena, warrant, court order, or other legal process; or as part of an investigation or request, whether formal or informal, from law enforcement or a governmental authority. We do not share your Personal Information with third parties for commercial purposes.
How We Share Personal Information. We may share your information in the following ways:

with third parties that perform tasks on our behalf and that help us better provide Services to you;
to comply with legal processes (including to comply with the law, to enforce our Terms of Service, or to respond to subpoenas, discovery requests, or similar legal processes or proceedings), cooperate with law enforcement or when we believe it is prudent to share information with legal authorities;
to investigate or prevent fraud or imminent harm to you, other users of this Website or Services, or to AP Law or its staff, or to ensure the security of our network and services;
in the event of a corporate sale, merger, asset sale or business combination, AP Law may share your Personal Information with the acquiring entity (user/client information is generally considered an asset that is transferred in one of these types of corporate transactions); or
with your consent.

Third Party Websites/Resources. Your information may be held by third parties, or we may link to other websites, applications or other internet resources not affiliated, owned, or controlled by AP Law. When you click on a third-party link or an advertisement, you will be directed to that third party’s website or other resource. The fact that this Website links to a third party’s website or other resource does not in any way create a relationship between us and that or any other third party. We do not endorse or represent these third parties. The privacy practices of any third parties are outside the scope of this Policy and their use or disclosure of your information (including your Personal Information) will be governed by their own privacy practices or policies.
Consent to Data Processing in the United States. We store Personal Information and other information we collect in the United States, and you agree and hereby consent to the storage and processing of your Personal Information in the United States. We ensure compliance with all applicable laws regarding the subject of this Policy and take appropriate measure to keep your Personal Information protected, especially, in the case of visitors from the European Union, to comply with GDPR requirements regarding lawful transfer mechanisms.
Security Measures. We secure your Personal Information, and have taken necessary precautions and technical and physical safeguards to comply with this Policy and applicable data security and data privacy laws and regulations. We have also taken industry standard precautions and implemented safeguards necessary to preserve the security and confidentiality of your Personal Information by any third parties with which we may share it, and in particular to prevent any of your Personal Information from being disclosed to unauthorized persons. We limit access to your Personal Information only to employees or technical service providers who reasonably need to come into contact with that Personal Information to provide Services to you or AP Law. We also use encryption to protect Personal Information transmitted to and from our Website. However, no data transmission over the internet is fully secure, and AP Law does not guarantee the total and complete security of your Personal Information transmitted in this way.
Retention Period. We retain Personal Information for various periods of time, depending on the purposes of processing your Personal Information. We will delete your Personal Information once this retention period has expired, unless you request that we delete this information earlier.
Your Rights. You may submit a request to our webmaster to access, modify, or delete your Personal Information. For more information or to ascertain if these rights apply to you, please contact us.

California Residents. This section applies only to our processing of Personal Information that is subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA and, together, the California Privacy Laws). The California Privacy Laws provide California residents with the right to know what categories of Personal Information AP Law has collected about them, the right to have this Personal Information deleted, the right to opt out of the sale of Personal Information (if applicable), the right to opt out of the sale of Personal Information of residents under the age of 16 (if applicable), the right to nondiscriminatory treatment for exercising any rights, the right to initiate a private cause of action for data breaches, the right to correct inaccurate Personal Information, and the right to limit use and disclosure of sensitive Personal Information.

Sale and Sharing of Personal Information. Except as specifically stated in this Policy, AP Law has not sold or shared Personal Information about California residents to third parties for their own use in the past twelve (12) months. Relatedly, AP Law has no actual knowledge that we sell or share Personal Information of California residents under 16 years of age. However, we may share your Personal Information with our affiliates and trusted partners in arrangements that may meet the broad definition of sale or share under the California Privacy Laws. In these arrangements, use of the information we share is limited by policies, contracts or similar restrictions. That said, we may share information with third-party advertising partners or analytics providers for the purpose of promoting this Website or the Services as described above in this Policy, including for cross-context behavioral advertising. To the extent that such sharing is considered a sale under the CCPA, you may opt-out of having your Personal Information shared with such advertising partners or analytics providers by emailing our webmaster. For purposes of California law, a sale is the disclosure of personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration, and a share is the disclosure of personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising, whether or not for monetary or other valuable consideration.
Right to Access. California residents have the right to request we send you the following information up to twice per twelve-month period: (i) categories of Personal Information we have collected about you; (ii) categories of sources from which we have collected this Personal Information; (iii) our business or commercial purpose for collecting this Personal Information; (iv) categories of third parties with whom we share your Personal Information; (v) categories of your Personal Information we disclose about you for business purposes; (vi) categories of your Personal Information we sell or exchange for consideration; and (vii) the specific pieces of your Personal Information we have collected about you.
Right to Delete. California residents have the right to ask us to delete any Personal Information we have collected about them, though we may deny the request if the information is necessary to: (i) complete a transaction, including providing a requested or reasonably anticipated good or service, or fulfill a contract between the resident and AP Law; (ii) detect and protect against security incidents, malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or take against those responsible for such activity; (iii) identify and repair errors impairing intended functionality; (iv) comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act; (v) engage in research in the public interest adhering to applicable ethics and privacy laws where the resident has provided informed consent; (vi) enable solely internal uses reasonably aligned with the resident’s expectations based on the resident’s relationship with AP Law; (vii) comply with a legal obligation; or (viii) otherwise use the information internally in a lawful manner compatible with the context in which the resident provided the information.
Right to portability. A California resident has the right to request Personal Information about the resident be disclosed in a common file format.
Right to Opt-in or Opt-out of the Sale of Personal Information. If AP Law sells Personal Information to third parties, California residents have the right, at any time, to opt in or out of the sale or disclosure of their Personal Information to these third parties.
Right to Designate an Authorized Agent. California residents have the right to designate an authorized agent to make a request under the CCPA on your behalf. To designate an authorized agent, please email our webmaster.
Right to Non-Discrimination. California residents have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights. If you exercise your privacy rights, we will not discriminate against you, for example, by denying you access to our Website or Services or charging you different rates or prices for the same Services, unless that difference is reasonably related to the value provided by your data.
California Privacy Rights Act. In addition to the rights provided by the CCPA, California residents are provided with the following rights through the California Privacy Rights Act: (i) the right to request that incorrect or outdated Personal Information be corrected but not deleted; (ii) the right to restrict a business’ ability to process sensitive data about the resident; and (iii) prohibition against a business making decisions about a resident based solely on an automated process without human input.
California Shine the Light. The California “Shine the Light” law permits California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, a list of the third parties to whom we have disclosed their Personal Information (if any) for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, as well as the type of Personal Information disclosed to those parties.
Disclosure About Direct Marketing. California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to annually request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to other entities for their direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year. We do not distribute your Personal Information to other entities for their own direct marketing purposes.
