Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Azure Legal PLLC ("we", "us") is a professional limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of New York. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through this website. It does not cover information governed by an active attorney-client engagement, which is subject to professional confidentiality obligations and the terms of the relevant engagement letter.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what we need to respond to enquiries and operate the site:

• Information you give us: your name, email address, organisation, and anything you choose to include when you contact us, request an introductory call, or book time through our scheduling tool.
• Technical information: IP address, browser type, device type, and pages viewed, collected automatically through standard server logs.
• Local storage: where the site stores preferences or draft content in your browser, that data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

Please do not send confidential case details through this site before an engagement letter is in place.

3. How we use it

We use personal information to respond to your enquiry, run conflicts checks before accepting a matter, schedule introductory calls, provide and improve the site, and comply with our legal and professional obligations. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Legal bases

Where data protection law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on: your consent, where you have given it; the necessity of processing to take steps at your request before entering an engagement; our legitimate interests in operating and securing the site; and compliance with legal obligations.

5. Sharing

We share personal information only with service providers who help us operate the site and our practice, under contracts that restrict their use of it:

• Netlify: hosts this website and its underlying infrastructure.
• Google Workspace: handles our business email and document storage (Gmail and Google Drive).
• Calendly: processes the name, email address, and scheduling details you provide when you book an introductory call.

We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, or professional regulator.

6. Retention

Enquiry correspondence is kept for as long as needed to respond and to maintain conflicts records, then deleted or anonymised. Client matter files are retained in line with our professional obligations and applicable record-keeping rules. Server logs are retained for a short period for security and diagnostics.

7. Security

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and unencrypted email in particular should not be treated as a confidential channel.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), including the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, object to or restrict certain processing, request a portable copy, opt out of certain sharing, or withdraw consent you previously gave. Exercising these rights will not result in discriminatory treatment.

Some rights are limited where information is subject to legal professional privilege or a mandatory retention obligation. To make a request, use the details on our contact page.

9. Cookies and analytics

This site does not currently use any analytics or advertising tracking tools. If we introduce analytics in the future to better understand how the site is used, this policy will be updated first and consent obtained where required.

10. International transfers

We operate remotely across United States time zones, and our service providers (including Netlify, Google Workspace, and Calendly) may process information in other countries. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards recognised under applicable data protection law, including GDPR where it applies.

11. Changes and contact

We may update this policy from time to time; the date at the top reflects the current version. Questions, concerns, or complaints can be raised with us at hello@azurelegal.xyz or via our contact page. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
