Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The Law Offices of Edwin Mejia-Courtade ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information about you when you visit our website or contact our office. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with applicable laws.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including when you submit our consultation request form or contact us by phone or email. This may include:
- Your name and contact information (email address, phone number, mailing address);
- Details about your legal matter that you choose to share with us;
- Any other information you voluntarily provide.
We may also collect certain technical information automatically when you visit our website — such as your browser type, device type, IP address, and pages you visit — through cookies and similar technologies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some site features may not function as intended.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your inquiries and evaluate whether we may assist with your legal matter;
- To schedule and prepare for consultations;
- To operate, maintain, and improve our website;
- To comply with legal and professional obligations; and
- To communicate with you about your case or our services.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only as needed to operate our practice — for example, with service providers who help us manage our website or communications, or as required by law, court order, or our professional obligations. We take reasonable steps to ensure any such providers keep your information confidential.
4. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and related regulations grant you certain rights regarding your personal information:
- Right to Know: You may request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you and how we use and share it.
- Right to Delete: You may request that we delete personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell your personal information. Accordingly, there is no sale in which to opt out.
- Right to Correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not deny you services, charge different rates, or provide a different quality of service because you exercise a privacy right.
In the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the categories of personal information described in Section 1 above (identifiers, contact information, and information in your messages). We do not sell personal information.
How to submit a request: You may exercise your rights by calling (661) 741-6767 or contacting us using the details in Section 8 below. We will verify your identity before acting on your request. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, subject to appropriate verification.
5. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us so we can remove it.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
