Legal Bases for Processing Information
We process personal information when reasonably necessary to provide our services, respond to requests, fulfill contractual or professional obligations, comply with applicable law, protect our rights or the rights of others, pursue legitimate business interests, or when you have provided consent.
When and With Whom We Share Personal Information
Vialy Law does not sell your personal information.
We may disclose personal information to vendors, contractors, consultants, and other service providers that perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to information to perform those services. These may include providers of website hosting, practice-management software, communications services, electronic signatures, payment processing, data storage, analytics, and other business or technology services.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or legal process; protect the rights, property, or safety of Vialy Law, our clients, or others; investigate suspected fraud or security issues; or fulfill our professional and ethical obligations.
Service providers that receive personal information from us are expected to use that information only for the purposes for which it was provided and subject to applicable confidentiality and privacy requirements.
SMS consent and telephone numbers provided for SMS communications will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

You may opt out of marketing or promotional communications from us at any time by contacting alex@vialylaw.com.
For SMS communications, you may reply STOP to opt out of further SMS messages. You may reply HELP for assistance. Message and data rates may apply.
Even if you opt out of promotional communications, we may continue to contact you regarding an existing attorney-client relationship, a legal matter, a request you submitted, administrative matters, or other non-marketing purposes when appropriate.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
Our Website itself may not directly use cookies or similar tracking technologies for advertising purposes. However, third-party providers involved in hosting, operating, securing, or analyzing the Website may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, or similar technologies.
A cookie is a small file that may be stored on your device when you visit a website. Most browsers allow you to control or reject cookies through browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain websites or Website features.
Do Not Track
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) feature that allows users to signal preferences regarding online tracking. Because there is not currently a universally accepted standard governing DNT signals, our Website and third-party providers may respond differently to these signals.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, professional, and ethical obligations.
When we no longer have a legitimate need to retain personal information, we may delete, anonymize, or securely archive it as appropriate.
Information associated with an attorney-client relationship may be subject to separate legal, ethical, professional, or records-retention requirements.
Protecting Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
However, no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Website.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you reside and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information concerning how your personal information is used or disclosed.
To submit a privacy-related request, contact us at alex@vialylaw.com or 949-570-9929. We will consider and respond to requests as required by applicable law.
