Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Ch. Law Associates (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you visit our website at https://chlawassociates.net/ (the “Site”) or otherwise interact with us online. We are a law firm and may handle information that is sensitive or confidential. We take that responsibility seriously.

1) Who we are & how to contact us

Controller: Ch. Law Associates
Website: https://chlawassociates.net/
Email: [email protected]

No legal advice / no lawyer–client relationship. Contacting us through the Site does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Please do not send confidential or privileged information until we confirm engagement in writing.

This Policy applies to the Site and to online interactions with us (e.g., contact forms, consultation bookings, email or chat initiated via the Site). It does not apply to information collected offline or through services delivered under a formal engagement letter—in those cases, our engagement terms and professional obligations apply.

• Identifiers & contact details: name, email address, phone number, postal address, firm/organization and role.
• Inquiry details: the content of messages you send us, meeting scheduling information, documents you choose to upload.
• Usage & device data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, and similar diagnostic data, collected via server logs and cookies/SDKs.
• Cookies & similar technologies: see Section 6.
• Recruitment data (if you apply for a role): CV/resume information, qualifications, and references.
• Client-matter data (only after engagement): If we are formally engaged, we may process additional personal data necessary to provide legal services, subject to our engagement terms and professional rules.

We do not intentionally collect special category data via the Site. Please avoid submitting such information unless we request it after a formal engagement.

• Responding to inquiries and providing requested information or consultations.
• Operating, maintaining, and improving the Site (including troubleshooting, analytics, testing, and research).
• Communications related to updates, legal insights, events, and firm news (you may opt out at any time).
• Compliance and protection: complying with legal obligations, enforcing our terms, detecting and preventing fraud/security incidents.
• Recruitment if you submit an application.

Legal bases (where applicable): consent (e.g., marketing), contract/performance of pre‑contractual steps (e.g., to respond to your request), legal obligations, and our legitimate interests (e.g., to operate and secure the Site, grow our practice, and communicate with you).

We may share information with service providers (hosting, email delivery, form and calendar tools, IT/security, document management), professional advisers, authorities/courts/regulators where required, and in connection with business changes. We do not sell personal information.

We use essential cookies to operate the Site and may use optional analytics cookies to understand Site usage and improve performance. Where required by law, we will request your consent before setting non‑essential cookies.

• Essential cookies: strictly necessary for core functions (e.g., basic security, page navigation).
• Analytics cookies (optional): help us measure traffic and usage trends.
• Your choices: manage cookie preferences in your browser settings and, if available, in our on‑site cookie banner.

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal/regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Criteria include the nature of the data, the purpose of processing, and legal limitation periods.

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; if you believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately.

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards (e.g., standard contractual clauses) to protect your information when it is transferred internationally.

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and data portability. You also have the right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

• EEA/UK: You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
• California (CCPA/CPRA): California residents have specific rights, including the right to know/access, delete, correct, and opt out of certain sharing. We do not sell personal information.

To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected] and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.

The Site may contain links to third‑party websites, plug‑ins, or services. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of every site you visit.

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information via the Site, please contact us so we can delete it.

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. If changes are material, we will take additional steps required by law.
