Privacy Policy

Last Updated May 17, 2025

At Mitchell Law Firm PC, your privacy is important to us and we are committed to protecting your privacy. This includes monitoring relevant legal and regulatory requirements and utilizing appropriate security measures in order to protect your personal information.

This Policy explains how we collect and use your personal information. Please take your time to review this Policy as it will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please exit our website. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@mitchlawfirm.com.


Personal Information We Collect and Use

For the purposes of this Policy, personal information is defined as any information that could reasonably be associated or linked, whether directly or indirectly, to an identified or identifiable individual or household. We may collect personal information from you:

  • When you provide it to us or we collect it      from third parties during the course of our providing legal advice,      representation, or services to you;
  • When you send us such information, such as      when you submit forms on our website, social media pages, or when you      submit questions or requests to us;
  • When you visit any of our website, as part of      general analytics on visitors to such sites (see notice on cookies for      more information);
  • When you contact us by any means, as we may      keep a record of that correspondence;
  • When you visit our offices or attend our      events; and
  • When you consent to provide your personal      information, we may collect special categories of personal information in      connection with registration for and access to our events or affinity      groups.

In the course of providing you legal advice, representation, or services, you may provide us personal information about others, such as your agents, affiliates, employees, directors, partners, or business contacts. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have a legal basis to process such information and transfer it to us. Once it is transferred to us, we may then process and disclose such personal information as described in this Policy.

Over the past 12 months, we have collected or received personal information, including:

  • Identifiers, such as a real name, alias,      postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet      Protocol address, email address, phone numbers, account name, social      security number, driver’s license number, passport number, or other similar      identifiers;
  • Personal information as defined by § 1798.80      of the California Consumer Privacy Act;
  • Characteristics of protected classifications,      including race, religion, national origin, creed;
  • Commercial information, including records of      personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or      considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies;
  • Internet or other electronic network activity      information;
  • Geolocation data;
  • Biometric data;
  • Audio, electronic, and visual information;
  • Professional or employment-related      information;
  • Education information;
  • Inferences drawn from personal information;      and
  • Sensitive information, such as:
    • Social security numbers, driver’s license       numbers, state identification cards, or passport numbers.
    • Consumer account log-in, financial account,       credit/debit card number, and other account credentials;
    • Racial or ethnic origin, religious or       philosophical beliefs, or union membership; and
    • Contents of email, mail and text messages.


Special Categories of Personal Information

Some data privacy laws, including UK and GDPR, classify certain categories of personal information as Special Categories of Personal Information.

We may collect special categories of personal information about you for which we act as a data controller when we collect personal information in this manner. Special categories of personal information may include certain demographic information about you such as race, ethnicity and sexual orientation. For example, we may collect information about your race, ethnicity and sexual orientation when you apply for a job with us if you choose to disclose such information. We may also collect information about prior criminal convictions and offences in connection with your application for employment with Mitchell Law Firm PC, and other special categories of personal information as part of background checks that we conduct on job applicants and/or clients and as part of providing services on behalf of our clients. If you provide us with, or we collect, any special categories of personal information, or criminal conviction data, on yourself, we will separately ask you for consent before we agree to the processing of such personal information.


Automated Decision Making

We do not apply automated decision-making techniques to personal information we collect.


How We Use Your Personal Information

We may use personal information we collect about and from you to:

  • Provide you legal advice, representation, or      services;
  • Manage our business relationship with you,      for example, as part of billing and collection;
  • Respond to your requests and inquiries;
  • Enable your participation in events and      affinity groups;
  • Confirm your identity and allow us to carry      out checks in the interest of security and to prevent fraud;
  • Carry out our obligations under any contracts      entered into between you and us;
  • Notify you about any changes to our services      or our websites;
  • Comply with legal and regulatory requirements      that apply to us, enforce our terms and conditions, and protect our      rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of our affiliates, you, or      others; or
  • Improve the services that we offer.

From time to time we will contact you to provide you with information on our services or events that we think may be of interest to you. We will not contact you with such marketing communications unless, in accordance with applicable laws, you have consented to such contact or we have a legitimate interest, for example, if our contact relates to services that we have already provided to you. You have the right to ask us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes at any time. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by:

  • Replying directly to the marketing message;
  • Unsubscribing from marketing messages by      clicking the appropriate link in any email you receive; or
  • Contacting info@mitchlawfirm.com.

We may use or otherwise process your personal information on the grounds of one or more of the following lawful bases for processing:

  • Your consent (in which case we will tell you      at the time our purposes for using your personal information);
  • In the course of providing legal advice,      representation, or services to you;
  • For the performance of a contract with you or      to take steps at your request prior to entering into such a contract;
  • To comply with our legal obligations; or
  • Because of our or your legitimate interests      in:
    • Providing you legal advice, representation,       or services,
    • Ensuring the quality of the services we       provide to you, or
    • Communicating with you.


When We Share Your Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your personal information with others, under the following circumstances:

  • We will provide your personal information to      our third party service providers to allow them to assist us with delivering      the legal and other services that you have requested, such as:
    • Accountants,
    • Auditors,
    • Credit reference agencies,
    • Information technology and information       security providers,
    • Legal service and technology providers,
    • Other industry or subject-matter experts, or
    • Records management providers.
  • We will share personal information with third      parties as required in the course of providing you legal advice,      representation, or services, including with respect to litigations,      arbitrations, investigations, and transactions.
  • We will share personal information with law      enforcement agencies, governmental authorities, or regulators where we are      under a duty to disclose or share such information in order to comply with      any legal or regulatory obligation, or if we reasonably consider that this      is necessary to help prevent or detect fraud or other crime or to protect      the rights, property, or safety of Mitchell Law Firm PC, our clients, or      others.
  • We will disclose personal information if you      have consented to any disclosure to a third party.


Where We Transfer, Use, and Store Your Personal Information

We may transfer, use, or store your personal information outside of your home jurisdiction and, therefore, the laws of some of these destination jurisdictions may not offer the same standard of protection for personal information as your home country.

We currently transfer information to the following jurisdictions: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, China, Hong Kong, and Japan.

From time to time, as disclosed above, we may transfer your personal information to our third party service providers. Transfers to our third party service providers are to enable them to use and store your personal information on our behalf. We have in place a program to contractually obligate our third party service providers to offer your personal information an essentially equivalent level of protection as granted by us in this notice.

This program also ensures that, where your information is transferred to any jurisdiction outside of your home country, the transfer is done in compliance with relevant data protection legislation, regulations, and guidelines issued by relevant supervisory authorities. For transfers of personal information outside the UK and the European Economic Area to jurisdictions that do not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission, we ensure that there is a legal basis for this transfer and that we have put in place data transfer agreements that ensure appropriate safeguards are in place so that personal information is treated in a manner that is consistent with, and respects the EU, UK and other applicable laws and regulations relating to data protection. You can request further details by contacting info@mitchlawfirm.com.


How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

We will keep your personal information only for as long as necessary depending on the purpose for which it was provided and the periods specified in relation to the relevant system in our data protection policies.

When determining how long we will keep your personal information, we will take into account various factors, including:

  • Legal obligations under applicable law to      retain data for a certain period of time;
  • Statute of limitations under applicable      law(s);
  • Status of ongoing legal engagements;
  • Your withdrawal of consent (where      applicable);
  • Potential disputes; and
  • Guidelines issued by relevant supervisory      authorities.


How We Protect the Security of Your Personal Information

We have put in place measures to protect the security of your personal information.

These measures are intended to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, altered, disclosed, or used or accessed in an unauthorized way. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to only those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via email is not secure. Despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Therefore, if you use email for communicating with us, we cannot guarantee that it will remain confidential while in transit.


Your Rights

Under certain circumstances, and subject to legal conditions, you may have the right to object to the processing of your personal information, to request a copy of the personal information about you which we hold, to request cessation of sharing of personal information with third parties, or to request correction, cessation of use, or erasure of such personal information. For example, if you are a resident of California, you have the right to take these actions without fear of any discriminatory treatment pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom you have a right to take these actions at any time and will not be charged any fee. You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

While you will usually not have to pay a fee to exercise these rights, in some cases, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive, or if you request multiple copies of the same information. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information or to exercise any of your other rights.

Please contact us at info@mitchlawfirm.com or 310-750-3201 if you wish to exercise any of these rights, if you wish to designate an authorized agent to exercise any of these rights on your behalf, if you wish to request further information about any of the above rights, or if you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information. We will respond to your inquiry within the timeframes required by applicable laws and regulations.

If you are not satisfied with our response or believe our processing of your information does not comply with data protection law, you can make a complaint to the relevant supervisory authority. If you are based in the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner’s Office (“ICO”):https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/. If you are located in Belgium, this is the Autorité de Protection des Données: https://www.dataprotectionauthority.be/citizen/actions/lodge-a-complaint. If you are located in Canada, this is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (“OPC”): https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/report-a-concern/file-a-formal-privacy-complaint/.
