The Shapiro Law Firm, LLC Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1/1/24
Your privacy is important to us. Below is an explanation of our online information practices and procedures. We also provide you with the choices you can make about how your information is used at our site.
A. Introduction
The Shapiro Law firm, LLC ("we", "us" or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy outlines how we collect use, disclose and safeguard your personal information.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
B. The Information We Collect
a) Personal Information: When provided voluntarily by individuals, we may collect personal information such as names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.
b) Non-Personal Information: For statistical purposes, we may also collect non-personal information such as browser type, operating system, and IP address.
No personal/individual information about you is collected on our site – this means we do not collect your name, address, telephone number, fax number, email address, etc. – unless you choose to fill out a “Contact Us” form, found on many of the pages of the site.
However, we do collect some non-personally identifiable information when you visit our site. Examples of non-personally identifiable information would be the domain name of your Internet service provider, the type of browser you are using, and the operating system you use.
The information you provide to us through our “contact form” or “online chat” is only used to respond to your inquiry. We may also use your information to communicate with you in the future. If you submit information to our firm using our contact form or online chat (if available), you may be asked to provide some personal information. Please do not submit any confidential, proprietary, or sensitive personally identifiable information such as SSN#, date of birth, driver’s license information, or credit card or bank account information. If you submit sensitive information through our website then you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for the consequences of your submission.
It is possible at some point that the information collected through this site will be used to reach out to you regarding services you may be interested in. However, you may opt out of such communication (unsubscribe) as described below.
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. Contact us via our email address ([email protected]) to opt out of future communications from us.
If you have additional questions or concerns about this privacy policy, please contact us via the phone number, contact form, or mailing address listed on this website. If our information practices change in a significant way, we will post the policy changes here.
C. How We Use Information About You
We may use the collected information for purposes, including but not limited to:
a) Providing and personalizing our services.
b) Processing transactions and delivering products.
c) Sending periodic emails related to your orders or inquiries.
Typically, we use personally identifiable information you provide solely to respond to your inquiry. We will never knowingly or intentionally share, rent, or sell your personally identifiable information.
However, despite this being unlikely, it is possible we are compelled to disclose personally identifiable information in response to the legal process or when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. An example would be in response to a court order, subpoena or a request by a law enforcement agency.
It is important for you to know that we cannot guarantee the privacy of personal information you transmit over the web (i.e. information collected in transit by others). This would include information that could be collected by contractors who provide services to us.
Theshapirolawyers.com website contains many links to other sites whose information practices could be different than ours. Visitors to our website should consult the other sites’ privacy notices because Steenberg Law Firm has no control over information that is submitted to, or collected by these third parties.
The Shapiro Law Firm may post information about programs and events that are sponsored by or co-sponsored by other firms/organizations. The Shapiro Law Firm has no control over the third-party sponsors’ use of your information should you choose to register electronically for any of these events.
We may also track information about your visit to our site in web server logs. A web server log can capture and save information electronically. The information collected may include your internet protocol address; service provider; town/city/state and country from which you access our website; the type of browser you use; the date/time of your visit; the web page you arrived at our site from; the pages on our site you viewed.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose information when required by law or in response to lawful requests by public authorities.
Data disclosure laws vary between countries, and even within countries, they can be subject to federal, state/provincial, and local regulations. In the United States and Canada, data disclosure laws encompass a combination of federal and provincial/state regulations. I'll provide you with a brief overview of the major federal laws in both countries.
United States:
1. Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act):
· Overview: The FTC Act broadly prohibits unfair and deceptive practices in commerce, including the unauthorized disclosure of personal information.
· Enforcement: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the FTC Act.
2. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA):

· Enforcement: Various federal agencies, including the FTC, have enforcement authority.
3. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA):

· Enforcement: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is responsible for enforcing HIPAA.
4. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):
· Overview: COPPA regulates the online collection of personal information from children under 13. It requires obtaining parental consent.
· Enforcement: The FTC enforces COPPA.
5. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
· Overview: State-level legislation granting California residents specific privacy rights and imposing obligations on businesses handling their personal information.

Canada:
1. Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA):

2. Provincial Legislation:
· In addition to PIPEDA, some provinces have their own privacy legislation. For example, Alberta and British Columbia have their own private-sector privacy laws.
Please be advised these laws are subject to change, and new regulations may be introduced. Always consult with legal professionals to ensure compliance with the latest data disclosure laws that apply to your specific circumstances.
