Privacy Policy

Dated January 1, 2025

This Privacy Policy for Manzanita Law PC (the "Firm" or "we") explains how we handle personal data that we collect from you. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "personal data" refers to information that directly or indirectly identifies an individual. Aggregated or de-identified information is not personal data, and we use aggregated or de-identified information as we deem appropriate.

We may collect your personal data directly from you through your interactions with the Firm, whether by email or through other communication methods, and including when you receive legal services from us. We may also receive your personal data indirectly, including from our clients (for example, if you are involved in a transaction with one of the Firm's clients) or from third parties (for example, from our payment processor when you pay for legal services rendered, or from another professional who put us in touch with each other, or from social media platforms such as LinkedIn). We do not use cookies or similar technology to track your interaction with our website.

We process your personal data to determine whether to engage in a business relationship with you, to provide you services if you have engaged the Firm to represent you, send you information or respond to your requests or comments, operate our website and business, identify and troubleshoot errors, protect against or investigate or respond to misuse of our services, or to enforce our legal rights.

We may share your personal data with third parties upon your request, or with vendors who assist us in providing our services or in our business operations (for example, to an independent contractor providing administrative support), or as required by applicable law. Such sharing may involve the transfer of personal data.

In the course of your interactions with the Firm, we may provide you with links to or access to websites or software that are not controlled by us, and accordingly, those sites or software are subject to applicable terms of service or privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy. Please contact the operator of the relevant website or software if you have questions.

If you have entered into an engagement letter, and the terms of such engagement letter conflict with the provisions in this Privacy Policy, the engagement letter will control to the extent of such conflict.

We do our best to protect your personal data from unauthorized use or disclosure but we cannot make any guarantees about your personal data. If you believe your data has been breached by us or through your use of our services, please contact us.

To access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, please contact us and we will do so if feasible. Circumstances in which we may not be able to meet your request include the Firm needing to retain or continue to process your personal data for our legitimate interest or to comply with legal obligations. The Firm does not discriminate against anyone who exercises their rights.

We do not knowingly collect personal data of children. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor and have reason to believe that we are in possession of personal data of your child, please contact us.

The Firm retains personal data as long as provided in the engagement letter, if there is one, or otherwise as long as reasonably necessary in connection with our business relationship with you.

We may make changes to this Privacy Policy as we deem appropriate. The most current version of this Privacy Policy will be posted on our website.
