 PRIVACY POLICY 

General

Abbas Law is committed to protect your privacy. This privacy policy is applicable to the information collected online from users of our website. It broadly sets out how we collect, gather, use, disclose, and protect the collected information. We do not share, disclose, trade, or sell any of your personally identifiable information.

Collection of Personal Information

Abbas Law generally collects your personal information for maintaining accounts and providing you services in the best possible manner. This information may include your name, email, telephone, address, family members, and other pertinent information.

We may collect personal information when you register with us and/or sign in to our services. We also collect information verbally or in writing, such as by telephone, fax, email, or in person. Personal information may also be collected directly from our clients during intake procedures and/or during the course of providing them legal services. Sometimes personal information is also collected from third parties and other persons and/or indirectly from our clients (e.g., information provided by client about opposing parties).

We assume that any reasonable collection of information by us is with the consent of the pertinent person, irrespective of whether the person initiates contact with us or voluntarily provides the information. If this includes information about a third party, we assume that the information provider is authorized by the third party to provide such information and that it is provided with consent. We also assume that our clients consent to the collection of information about them for the purposes of retainers and providing them services properly.

Use of Personal Information

Abbas Law uses personal information primarily to provide services to our clients in the best possible manner as well as to comply with legal and regulatory requirements, including as follows:
- to know our clients, establish lawyer-client relationship, provide legal services, and check conflicts of interest;
- to share information with opposing and third parties in litigation or other proceedings;
- to administer client accounts and billings;
- to manage files, precedents, and databases;
- to manage our business and website operations; and
- to comply with other legal and regulatory requirements.

Although we do our best to protect your privacy, in some situations, we may disclose your personally identifiable information under the law or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary, such as: (i)- to protect our rights, property, or safety; (ii)- to protect the rights, property, or safety of our clients or others; (iii)- to comply with the law; and (iv)- to investigate and prevent any activity that is potentially unlawful or damaging to us and to our service.

Third Party Service Providers

Where we require the services of third parties for our operations (such as, copying, binding, printing, data-storage, website operation, etc.), we will disclose only the minimum possible information to them and require them through contracts or otherwise to provide you privacy protection comparable to our privacy policy.

Security and Protection

We have put in place necessary safeguards and security measures to protect the information collected from the use of this website. However, we cannot (and do not) guarantee, in any manner whatsoever, the security and protection of your privacy and the confidentiality of your information transmitted to us through our website or email.

You should not submit sensitive personally identifiable information (such as bank account number, credit card number, social insurance number, date of birth, etc.) via our website.
