Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as some data automatically collected when you use our website. The types of personal information we may collect include:

1. Contact Information: When you fill out our contact form or communicate with us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, company/organization, and any other information you choose to provide in your message.
2. Newsletter Subscription: If you sign up for our newsletter, we will collect your email address (and your name) to send you updates.
3. Compliance Calculator Inputs: If you use our compliance calculator tool, we will collect the information you input into the calculator (such as answers to compliance-related questions about your business). This tool does not generate automated results or legal advice; it is solely used for us to gather information and follow up with you.
4. Technical and Usage Data: When you visit our website, our systems and third-party analytics providers (like Google Analytics) may collect certain information automatically. This can include your IP address, browser type, device information, referral source, pages visited, and the date/time of your visit. This data is collected via cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy for more details).

We do not intentionally collect any sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, or health information) through our website. We ask that you do not submit any sensitive or confidential information via our forms or communications.

How We Use Your Information

We use the personal data collected through the Website for the following purposes:

1. To Respond to Inquiries: We use the information you provide in our contact form or compliance calculator to contact you and address your requests or questions. For example, if you ask us for information about our legal services or submit details via the compliance tool, we will use your contact information and the details you provided to respond to you.
2. Lead Generation and Service Offers: Information collected via the compliance calculator or other forms may be used to assess your needs and potentially offer legal consulting services or schedule a consultation. Any such follow-up will be done manually by our team (no automated decisions are made based on your form inputs).
3. Email Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use your email (and name if provided) to send you our newsletter and occasional updates. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribed link in any newsletter email or by contacting us.
4. Website Analytics: We use usage data (via Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console) to analyze how our website is used, monitor traffic and trends, and improve our website’s functionality and content. These analytics tools help us understand which pages most are visited and how users interact with our site. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally; we do not use Google Signals or any advertising/remarketing features.
5. Site Maintenance and Security: Technical data such as IP addresses and log information may be used to maintain the security of our website, diagnose server issues, and prevent fraud or abuse.

We will not use your personal information for purposes incompatible with those above without informing you and obtaining your consent if required.

Legal Bases for Processing (for Users in Jurisdictions Requiring This)

Our processing of your personal data is based on the following legal grounds:

1. Consent: For sending marketing communications (like our newsletter) or placing certain non-essential cookies, we rely on your consent. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
2. Legitimate Interests: We process certain data, such as contact form inquiries and analytics data, based on our legitimate interest in responding to potential client inquiries, improving our services, and securing our website. We ensure that our legitimate interests do not override your privacy rights.
3. Contractual or Pre-contractual Steps: If you request legal services or information from us, processing of your data may be necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering a potential engagement (for example, evaluating your needs and contacting you).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to provide and improve our services. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that allow us and our service providers to recognize your browser. For detailed information about the cookies we use, please see our separate Cookie Policy. In summary:

1. We use necessary cookies to enable core site functionality (such as remembering your cookie preferences).
2. We use analytics cookies (through Google Analytics) to collect information about how visitors use our site. This helps us understand user behavior and improve our website. These cookies collect data in an anonymized manner (for example, by truncating IP addresses) and do not directly identify individuals.
3. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies for targeted advertising on our site, and we do not share your browsing behavior with advertisers.

You can control cookies through our cookie consent banner (powered by Cookiebot) or via your browser settings. See the Cookie Policy for more on how to manage your cookie preferences.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share or disclose information that we collect in the following situations:

1. Service Providers: We use trusted third-party companies to help us operate our website and business. For example, our site is hosted on servers provided by OVH (in the USA); we use Google Analytics and Google Search Console for site analytics; GetResponse for managing our email newsletter; and RoundCube as our email client. These third parties may process personal data on our behalf only for the purposes mentioned in this policy and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
2. Legal Obligations: We may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., to comply with a court order, subpoena, or other legal process).
3. Protection of Rights: We may share information when necessary to enforce our Terms and Conditions, to protect the rights, privacy, safety, or property of our firm, our employees, clients, or others, and to allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages we may sustain.
4. Business Transfers: In the unlikely event that we undergo a business transition such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, under appropriate confidentiality and security arrangements.

We will not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing or other independent uses without your consent.

International Data Transfers

Because our website is intended for users in the United States, but our firm is in Poland (European Union) and our web hosting is in the United States, your personal information may be transferred across international borders. If you are located outside of Poland, please be aware that the data you provide will be transferred to and processed in Poland and/or the United States. We take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers so that your personal data remains protected to the standards required by applicable law.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable laws and professional obligations:

1. Contact form and compliance inquiry data is retained for a period necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter in case of follow-up (typically up to 1 year unless longer retention is justified for legal or record-keeping purposes).
2. Newsletter subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe or until we stop sending the newsletter.
3. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics 4’s standard retention settings (for example, data may be retained for 14 months in aggregate form), and this data is used only for statistical analysis.
4. Server and security logs are retained for a short duration (a few months) for monitoring and security purposes.

When personal data is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will securely delete or anonymize it, unless we are required by law to keep it longer.

Your Rights and Choices

You may have certain rights regarding your personal data, especially if you are an authority that provides data subject rights (such as the European Union under GDPR). We are committed to honoring applicable rights, which may include:

1. Access and Correction: You can request information about the personal data we hold about you and ask us to correct or update it if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
2. Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data. If you no longer want us to have your information, contact us and we will delete the data we are not legally obligated to retain.
3. Withdraw Consent: If we process your data based on consent (e.g., sending you the newsletter), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter via the link in our emails or by contacting us.
4. Objection or Restriction: You may object to our processing of your data or ask us to restrict processing. For example, you can opt out of Google Analytics by using a browser opt-out plugin or by adjusting your cookie settings.
5. Data Portability: Where applicable, you have the right to request a copy of personal data you provided to us in a machine-readable format.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@savalegal.com. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests. Please note that these rights may be subject to certain legal exceptions; if we cannot comply with a particular request, we will explain the reasons.

If you have concerns about how we manage your data, we encourage you to contact us directly so we can address them. If you are in the EU and believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with supervisory authority. In Poland, this would be the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).

Security of Your Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the personal information collected through our website from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. This includes using secure hosting environments, encryption where appropriate, and limiting access to personal data for those in our organization who need it for the purposes described. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. We encourage you to use caution when transmitting information over the internet, especially sensitive information.

Children’s Privacy

Our services and Website are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use this Website or provide any personal information to us. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete that information as soon as possible. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us without consent, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or to comply with legal requirements. We will post updates on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the Website after any modifications to this Privacy Policy will signify your acceptance of the updated terms.
