Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Your personal data is collected and used solely for the purpose of providing our services. We do not share your personal data for marketing purposes under any circumstances. Data sharing is strictly limited to what is necessary for the provision of services. Your data will not be transferred to external organizations.

We are transparent about our data usage and sharing practices. If you have any questions or concerns about how your data is used or would like to contact us regarding your privacy, please email us at info@sobampolaw.com or call us at (602) 277-6000.

This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and SOBAMPO LAW FIRM (“SOBAMPO LAW FIRM”, “we”, “us” or “our”). If you are entering into this Policy on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Policy, in which case the terms “User”, “you” or “your” shall refer to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you disagree with the terms of this Policy, you must not accept this Policy and may not access and use the Website and Services. By accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or manage.

Collection of information
Our top priority is customer data security, and as such, we exercise the no logs policy. We may process only minimal user data, only as much as is absolutely necessary to maintain the Website and Services. Information collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding the usage and traffic of the Website and Services. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular user of the system.

Use and processing of collected information
We act as a data controller and a data processor when handling Personal Information unless we have entered into a data processing agreement with you, in which case you would be the data controller, and we would be the data processor.

Our role may also differ depending on the specific situation involving Personal Information. We act in the capacity of a data controller when we ask you to submit your Personal Information that is necessary to ensure your access and use of the Website and Services. In such instances, we are a data controller because we determine the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Information.

We act in the capacity of a data processor in situations when you submit Personal Information through the Website and Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the submitted Personal Information, and such Personal Information is processed only in accordance with your instructions. In such instances, the User providing Personal Information acts as a data controller.

In order to make the Website and Services available to you or to meet a legal obligation, we may need to collect and use certain Personal Information. If you do not provide the requested information, we may be unable to offer you the requested products or services. Any of the information we collect from you may be used to improve customer experience.

Run and operate the Website and Services
Processing your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Website and Services, where you are located in the world and if one of the following applies: (a) you have given your consent for one or more specific purposes; (b) provision of information is necessary for the performance of this Policy with you and/or for any pre-contractual obligations thereof; (c) processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which you are subject; (d) processing is related to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us; (e) processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.

Note that under some legislations, we may be allowed to process information until you object to such processing by opting out, without having to rely on consent or any other legal basis. In any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing and, in particular, whether the provision of Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Disclosure of information
To maintain the highest level of privacy and to protect your Personal Information to the full extent, we do not share your Personal Information with anyone or for any reason.

Retention of information
We will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary to comply with our legal obligations, to enforce our Policy, resolve disputes, and unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

We may use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires, Personal Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access, the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention period.

Region-specific notices
Out of respect for your privacy, we have implemented additional measures to comply with the obligations and rights associated with the collection of Personal Information as dictated by the laws governing the regions of our users.

Disclosures for residents of the USA. If you are a resident of Arizona, you have certain rights, and we aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Information.

In addition to the rights as explained in this Policy, if you provide Personal Information as defined in the statute to obtain Services for personal, family, or household use, you have the right to submit requests related to your Personal Information once a calendar year. Note that there are circumstances when we may not be able to comply with your request, such as when we are not able to verify your request or find that providing a full response conflicts with other legal obligations or regulatory requirements. You will be notified if that is the case.

(a) Right to know and right to access: You have the right to request certain information we have collected about you. Once we receive and confirm a verifiable request from you, we will disclose to you, to the extent permitted by law:

We may not, and will not, treat you differently because of your data subject request activity, and we may not and will not deny goods or Services to you, charge different rates for goods or Services, provide a different level quality of goods or Services, or suggest that we would treat you differently because of your data subject request activity.

To exercise any of your rights, simply contact us using the details below. After we receive and verify your request, we will process it to the extent possible within our capabilities.

How to exercise your rights
Any requests to exercise your rights can be directed to us through the contact details provided in this document. Please note that we may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests. Your request must provide sufficient information that allows us to verify that you are the person you are claiming to be or that you are the authorized representative of such a person. If we receive your request from an authorized representative, we may request evidence that you have provided such an authorized representative with power of attorney or that the authorized representative otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests on your behalf.

You must include sufficient details to allow us to properly understand the request and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information unless we first verify your identity or authority to make such a request and confirm that the Personal Information relates to you.

Privacy of children
We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit any Personal Information through the Website and Services. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided Personal Information to us through the Website and Services, please contact us to request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our Services.

We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through the Website and Services without their permission. We also ask that all parents and legal guardians overseeing the care of children take the necessary precautions to ensure that their children are instructed to never give out Personal Information when online without their permission.

Do Not Track signals
Some browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in connection with a website. For these purposes, tracking refers to collecting personally identifiable information from users who use or visit a website or online service as they move across different websites over time. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. As a result, the Website and Services are not yet set up to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals communicated by your browser. Even so, as described in more detail throughout this Policy, we limit our use and collection of your Personal Information. For a description of Do Not Track protocols for browsers and mobile devices or to learn more about the choices available to you, visit internetcookies.com

Email marketing
We offer electronic newsletters to which you may voluntarily subscribe at any time. We are committed to keeping your email address confidential and will not disclose your email address to any third parties except as allowed in the information use and processing section. We will maintain the information sent via email in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, all emails sent from us will clearly state who the email is from and provide clear information on how to contact the sender. You may choose to stop receiving our newsletter or marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in these emails or by contacting us. We do not share any mobile information, including phone numbers, with third parties for marketing purposes.

Links to other resources
The Website and Services contain links to other resources that are not owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other resources or third parties. We encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website and Services and to read the privacy statements of each and every resource that may collect Personal Information.

Information security
We secure the information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of Personal Information in our control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or wireless network can be guaranteed.

Therefore, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet that are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and the Website and Services cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite best efforts.

Encryption Methods

To safeguard user data, all sensitive information should be encrypted using industry-standard encryption protocols, such as AES-256 for data at rest and TLS 1.2/1.3 for data in transit. This ensures that unauthorized parties cannot access or manipulate user data.

Access Controls

User data access are limited to authorized personnel only, based on role-based access control (RBAC) principles. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) should be enforced for high-risk actions, and all access logs should be regularly monitored for suspicious activity.

Regular Audits

Routine audits are conducted at least annually to maintain compliance and enhance security. These audits assess data handling practices, encryption effectiveness, and adherence to regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). Audit results should inform continuous improvements in data protection measures.

Data breach
In the event we become aware that the security of the Website and Services has been compromised or Users’ Personal Information has been disclosed to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including, but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not limited to, investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation with law enforcement authorities. In the event of a data breach, we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will post a notice on the Website, send you an email, and get in touch with you over the phone.

SMS Opt-Out
You may opt out of receiving further texts at any time by replying “STOP” (or another approved word) to any of our text messages, or by following other instructions we provide. You may also reply “HELP” (or another designated code) for help or contact our support for assistance. Upon receipt of your opt-out request, we will cease sending further marketing text messages to you promptly (within a reasonable timeframe as required by the FCC) unless you re-opt in.  Note: Even after opting out of marketing texts, we may still send you non-marketing transactional or service communications if you have a separate agreement with us to receive those. Opt-Out: You can opt out of the SMS list at any time by texting "STOP" or replying "UNSUBSCRIBE" to info@sobampolaw.com or 602-277-6000.
