Ziliak Law, LLC (“we” or “us”) is committed to maintaining the accuracy, confidentiality, and security of your personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”). This privacy notice describes how and why we might collect, store, use and/or share (“process”) your Personal Information. We are committed to ensuring that we process your Personal Information in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including, but not limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”). If you do not agree with our policies or practices, or you otherwise do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the website located at https://ziliak.com or https://ziliaklaw.com (collectively, the “Website”) or provide us with any Personal Information.
We may, at times, process additional categories of Personal Information which we receive from our clients during our legal representation of them. However, such processing is subject to our client agreements and applicable professional responsibilities and is therefore not covered by this Privacy Policy.
Depending on how you interact with the Website, we may collect the following Personal Information when you visit the Website or otherwise provide us with Personal Information in connection with the Website:
The categories of Personal Information we may collect pursuant to this Privacy Policy include, but are not limited to:
We will only use your Personal Information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider it necessary to use it for a different reason compatible with the original purpose. If use beyond the original purpose of collection occurs, we will notify you and explain the legal basis allowing us to do so.

If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under the age of 18, please contact us at info@ziliak.com.
The CCPA requires that we disclose the criteria we use to determine how long we will retain each category of Personal Information we collect. Because our records often contain several categories of Personal Information combined together, we consider, on a case-by-case basis, a number of factors in assessing how long Personal Information is retained. These factors include what Personal Information is necessary to (i) provide our services or administer our relationship with an individual; (ii) protect our business, employees, organization, and others; (iii) fulfill our various legal and regulatory obligations; and (iv) investigate and address issues as they arise, including, but not limited to, those related to safety, potential security incidents, and/or policy violations.
We neither sell nor rent any Personal Information collected to third parties.
We do not disclose any Personal Information about you to third parties, except (i) to third parties who perform services on our behalf (including vendors providing services related to the operation of the Website); (ii) as permitted by law or regulation pursuant to any legal process; (iii) in response to government, regulatory, law enforcement, or judicial inquiries; (iv) to our lawyers or other professional advisors; and (v) to entities whom we may transfer or merge part of our business or our assets in connection to a corporate transaction. If such a change happens to our business, then the successor entity may use your Personal Information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
The Personal Information we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) where a third party identified in Section V is located outside of the EEA. Normally, any such transfer will be conducted on the basis of the model clauses approved by the European Commission for transfers from European Union (“EU”) controllers to non-EU controllers.

The CCPA enables California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of Personal Information (if any) that we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes, and the names and addresses of all third parties with whomwe shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year.
