Privacy Policy
At mydistrictattorney.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we are committed to safeguarding your privacy and respecting your rights under applicable data protection laws, including the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit or interact with our website, services, or related communications.
1. Commitment to Privacy and Data Protection
We understand that your privacy is important. Accordingly, we handle all personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently in accordance with applicable legal standards. Our goal is to empower users with clear information and meaningful choices while protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your information.
2. Scope of Policy and Data Controller Role
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of mydistrictattorney.com and governs the collection, processing, and use of personal data through our website and directly linked services. For purposes of the GDPR, we act as the “data controller” of your personal information. This means we determine the purposes and means of processing your data.
If you are located within the European Economic Area (EEA) or subject to the protections afforded by the GDPR, our data practices uphold your rights accordingly. Users residing in California are also afforded the rights and disclosures required under the CCPA.
3. Categories of Personal Data We Process
We collect and process various categories of personal data for the operation of our website and the provision of our services:
a. Usage Data: Information about your interactions with our website, including browser type, IP address, pages visited, access times, clickstream data, and session details.

– Contractual Necessity: To fulfill contractual obligations or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
– Legal Obligation: To comply with legal obligations we are subject to.
– Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests and those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

We respect your legal rights under applicable data protection regulations. You have the right to:
– Access: Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
– Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
– Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal limitations.
– Restriction: Request restrictions on the processing of your data in certain circumstances.

– Deletion of personal information we have collected (subject to legal exceptions).
– Opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal data, if applicable (we do not sell data).
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond promptly and in accordance with applicable law.
6. Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, misuse, or alteration. These measures include, but are not limited to:
– Data encryption (both in transit and at rest)
– Access controls and authentication protocols
– Regular data backups and recovery procedures
– Employee training in data protection and cyber hygiene
While we take commercial-grade measures to protect your data, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. You are encouraged to use secure passwords and protect your account credentials appropriately.
7. International Data Transfers
Where data must be transferred across national borders (for example, to service providers located outside the EEA), we will ensure adequate safeguards are in place. These include the use of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission and compliance with regional privacy requirements designed to maintain equivalent privacy protections.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary based on the purpose of collection and applicable legal obligations. Specific retention periods include:
– Usage Data: Retained for up to 12 months for analytics and security purposes.
– Account and Profile Data: Maintained while your account is active and up to 24 months following account deactivation.
– Communication Data: Retained for up to 36 months for recordkeeping and support analysis.
