Who We Are

NLI is a law firm located in the United States. We are a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Wyoming. We are a remote firm, with our principal office located in Wyoming, but all of our attorneys work remotely. NLI only offers legal services in jurisdictions and on matters of law where NLI attorneys are licensed.

Privacy Notice

This Privacy Policy describes how NLI processes, uses and shares the personal information (defined below) that it receives or collects from visitors to the NLI Sites, potential and ongoing clients, and any other individual or entity that may disclose personal information to us, as further described below.

Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Notice applies to personal information that we collect online through the Sites when you contact us, or that may be provided in connection with recruiting. It also applies to personal information that we collect or obtain while representing our clients. However, nothing contained in this Privacy Notice alters or changes our obligations to our clients under applicable rules of professional responsibility.

This Privacy Notice does not cover information collected by any other company, a third-party site or third-party application that may link to, or that can be accessed from, any of our Sites.

By visiting our Sites or providing your personal information to us (whether via one of our Sites, by email or other written communication, in person or over the phone), you acknowledge and agree to our practices described below. If you have questions or comments about this Privacy Notice or our use of your personal information, please contact us at admin@newlawinternational.com.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. If we do so, we will post our updated Privacy Notice on the Sites where applicable, and for a reasonable period of time, we will post notice of the change, so it is visible when users use the Sites after the change is posted. By your continued use of any of the Sites, you consent to the terms of the revised Privacy Notice.

When and How Do We Collect Personal Information

Personal information means any information about an individual from which that person may be identified (“Personal Information”). Personal Information includes obvious things, like your name, telephone number, email address, and street address, as well as less obvious things like your IP address, device ID and location information. Personal Information does not, however, include information from which the identity of an individual has been definitively removed (also known as anonymous or anonymized data).

We collect Personal Information directly from you when you provide it to us, such as when you take any action while visiting our Sites or otherwise communicate with us, verbally or in writing. We also may collect information indirectly through automated technologies, such as cookies, from third parties, or public records.

Types of Personal Information We Collect

Personal Information You Provide

We collect Personal Information that you provide voluntarily through our Sites or otherwise (such as during our legal representation or recruiting process, when you request information from us). The Personal Information you provide to us may include some or all the following:

• Your contact information, e.g., your name, address, phone number, email address, company name and country;
• Interests and preferences that you provide to us when requesting information;
• Personal Information provided to us by or on behalf of our clients or generated by us while providing our services, which may, where relevant, include special categories of personal data, as further described below;
• Resumé or other employment-related data that you provide to us in connection with recruiting, as further explained below; and
• Any other Personal Information that you voluntarily choose to provide to us.

If we ask you to provide any Personal Information not described above, the Personal Information that you are asked to provide and the reasons why you are asked to provide it will be made clear to you when asked to provide it.

Personal Information We Collect Automatically

We collect certain information automatically from your device. Our web servers log some technical information automatically. Accordingly, Personal Information that we collect automatically may include information like your Internet Service Provider, IP address, device type, unique device identification number, browser type, broad geographic location (e.g., country or city-level location) and other technical information.

We may also collect information about how your device has interacted with our Sites, including the pages accessed and links clicked. Although this information may be considered Personal Information under applicable laws, we do not append or associate it with any Personal Information you may choose to provide.

Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as explained further in our Cookie Notice Section below.

We may also collect Personal Information through third-party sources, such as public records, recruitment agencies and entities or individuals who act as agents for our clients.

Personal Information Collected in the Course of Legal Representation

We collect Personal Information from and about our clients in connection with our legal services. The nature, scope and type of such information depends on the legal matter for which you have sought our services and may include:  basic personal details such as your name and job title; contact data such as your telephone number and postal or email address; employment data; financial data such as payment information or bank account details; identification and other background verification data such as a copy of your passport; data collected as part of our client due diligence; and any other data that may be relevant to the legal matter(s) for which you engage us. Some of this information may be collected from potential clients who do not subsequently execute additional agreements with us.

Personal Information Collected for Recruiting Purposes

We may collect information from and about potential candidates in connection with employment opportunities at NLI. This information may include name and contact information, resumé, academic records, employment history, and references.

We use the Personal Information that you provide to match your skills, experience, and education to available or specific roles within NLI. This information is passed to the relevant hiring manager and individual involved in the recruiting process in order to assess next steps. We may also collect further information from you as you move along in the recruiting process.

In connection with our recruiting activities, we may also collect special categories of Personal Information from candidates when we have a legal obligation to do so if the information is relevant to the future provision of employment, or with the individual’s explicit consent. For instance, we may need to collect information about a candidate’s immigration status to ensure that we may legally hire that candidate, or a candidate’s disabilities to provide a suitable working environment for that candidate if the candidate is hired by NLI. We may also need to conduct criminal background checks. We may also ask a candidate to provide diversity information about race or ethnicity and sexual orientation for diversity monitoring purposes, although providing this information will be entirely up to the candidate. NLI collects Personal Information about candidates from several sources, including:

• Directly from the candidate – for example, information provided when applying for a position directly through the Website;
• From recruiting service providers – for example, when a recruitment agency contacts us to identify someone as a potential candidate;
• Through publicly available sources online – for example, through a professional profile posted online (e.g., a professional networking site); and
• By reference or word-of-mouth.

Please note that for candidates who are also California residents, we may separately provide you with a notice for job applicants and personnel if applicable.

  • legitimate interests

Disclosure Information

We disclose your Personal Information to those of our personnel who need to process Personal Information to provide our services. In addition, we may disclose your Personal Information to the third parties indicated below (and for the following reasons):

• Companies that do things to help us provide the Sites, such as hosting service providers, conference organizers, communication tools, and analytics tools;
• Professional service providers, such as auditors, lawyers, consultants, accountants, and insurers;
• Governments, regulators, law enforcement and fraud prevention agencies, but only as authorized as explained below; and
• In the event of a business transfer as explained below.

Third-Party Service Providers

The following categories of third parties may collect, process, or receive your Personal Information in order to assist us in providing our Sites and services:

• Entities that host various components of our Website;
• Service providers who assist us with recruiting and other services;
• Service providers who assist us with the performance of our legal services, such as experts, translators, and eDiscovery providers; and
• Outsourced services that help us administer certain activities, such as technology and IT services, information, and document management, records storage and retention, and photocopying.

Legal Obligations and Security

We will disclose your Personal Information: (i) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative order (as further explained below); (ii) to protect the safety of any person; (iii) to protect the safety or security of our Sites or to prevent spam, abuse, or other malicious activity of actors on our Sites; or (iv) to protect our rights or property or the rights or property of those who use our Sites or services.

If we are required to disclose Personal Information by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena, warrant or other judicial or administrative order, our policy is to respond to requests that are properly issued by law enforcement within the United States or otherwise via a mutual legal assistance mechanism (e.g., treaty). Under such circumstances, we will attempt to provide you with prior notice that a request for your information has been made, in order to give you an opportunity to object to the disclosure. We will attempt to provide this notice by email if you have given us an email address. However, government requests may include a court-granted non-disclosure order, which prohibits us from giving notice to the affected individual. In cases where we receive a non-disclosure order, we notify the user when it has expired or once we are authorized to do so.

Note that if we receive information that provides us with a good faith belief that there is an exigent emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to a person, or the detection or prevention of a crime, we may provide information, including Personal Information, to law enforcement trying to prevent or mitigate the danger (if we have it), to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Business Transfer

We may transfer your Personal Information to an affiliate, a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which NLI participates, or to a purchaser or acquirer of all or substantially all of NLI’s business or assets, including a successor in bankruptcy.

Tracking Disclosure

NLI tracks users’ use of the Sites but does not track users across third-party websites. We do not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals.

Changing Your Information and Choices

If you would like us to stop using your Personal Information, or if you want to change Personal Information you previously have provided to us via the Sites, please contact us at admin@newlawinternational.com and we will comply to the extent required and allowed by applicable laws.

We allow you to opt-out of future communications at any time by clicking the “Opt-Out” or “Unsubscribe” link in the email or replying to any email you receive with a message that reads “Opt-Out” in the subject line.

Links to Other Websites

Our Sites may link to websites maintained by outside organizations. Please be aware that these third-party websites are governed by their own privacy policies and do not fall within this Privacy Notice. NLI is not responsible for the content or policies maintained by these websites. Please familiarize yourself with the privacy policy or notice of any third-party website you visit, as it will govern any information you submit through that website.

Social Plugins

We may use social plugins on our Sites and may include icons that allow you to interact with third-party social networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. The third-party social plugin may set a cookie when your browser creates a connection to the servers of such social networks and the plugin may transmit your Personal Information to the social networks. Your use of these social plugins is subject to the privacy policies of the third-party social networks.

Children

We recognize the privacy interests of children, and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children’s online activities and interests. We target our Sites and the services we offer to adults and not to children under eighteen (18) years of age. To the extent that we are required to collect information regarding a minor in order to provide our legal services, we will only do so with parental consent.

Confidential Information

Because the security of transmission of information over the Internet cannot be guaranteed, please do not disclose any confidential information to us via the Sites, or via email (unless you have an existing attorney-client relationship with us). Please note that providing confidential or any other information to NLI through our Sites does not, by itself, engage us for legal services and does not form an attorney-client relationship.

How Long Do We Keep Your Personal Information

Your Personal Information is processed for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for the duration of any period necessary to establish, exercise or defend any legal rights.

To determine the most appropriate retention periods for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of your Personal Information, the reasons for which we collect and process your Personal Information, best practices, and applicable legal requirements. Retention periods are also based on legal requirements that specifically apply to the legal services industry and our records retention policies. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need or specific obligation to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing. Some exceptions from static retention periods may occur. For instance, we cannot delete Personal Information when there are legal obligations to retain it (e.g., arising from tax or commercial law, or our obligations as legal advisors). This is particularly true of financial data and payment information, as well as any information provided in connection with our legal representation of you. Additionally, we cannot delete Personal Information when it is needed for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (“Litigation Hold”). In this case, the Personal Information can be retained as long as needed for exercising respective potential legal claims.

Protecting Your Personal information

We have put in place reasonably appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Information that we collect and process about you. The measures that we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your Personal Information.

We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so. We also require those parties to whom we transfer your Personal Information to comply with the same.

While we take all reasonable steps necessary to provide the most secure Website, you understand and assume the risks associated with your activities on the Internet.

International Transfers

NLI is a virtual law firm with a remote network of attorneys who provide their services from all over the world, including the United States and Mexico. Personal Information we collect may be stored and processed for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice in the United States where we are based or in any country where we have operations, provide legal services, or engage vendors or service providers. This means that your Personal Information may be collected, processed, and stored in the United States, which may have data protection laws that are different from (and sometimes less protective than) the laws of your country or region, such as the GDPR.

By sending us Personal Information, you agree and consent to the processing of your Personal Information in the United States or in any country where we have operations, provide legal services, or engage vendors or service providers, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection to that required in other countries (particularly the European Union), and to the processing of that information by us on servers located in the United States, as described in this Privacy Notice.

We have implemented safeguards designed to ensure that the Personal Information we process remains protected in accordance with this Privacy Notice, including when processed internationally or by our third-party service providers and partners. We may implement further mechanisms and take appropriate safeguards with our third-party service providers and partners. Further details can be provided upon request.

Legal Rights For Users in the European Economic Area

• The right to be informed – our obligation to inform you that we process your Personal Information (and that is what we are doing in this Privacy Notice);
• The right of access – your right to request a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you (also known as a ‘data subject access request’);
• The right to rectification – your right to request that we correct Personal Information about you if it is incomplete or inaccurate;
• The right to erasure (also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’) – under certain circumstances, you may ask us to delete the Personal Information we have about you (unless there is an overriding legal reason we need to keep it);
• The right to restrict processing – your right, under certain circumstances, to ask us to suspend our processing of your Personal Information;
• The right to data portability – your right to ask us for a copy of your Personal Information in a common format (for example, a .csv file);
• The right to object – your right to object to us processing your Personal Information; and
• Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling – our obligation to be transparent about any profiling we do, or any automated decision-making.

These rights are subject to certain rules regarding when you can exercise them. If you are located in the European Economic Area and wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us using the address listed within the How to Contact Us About Privacy Section above.

We will consider all requests and provide our response within the time period stated by applicable law. Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests in some circumstances, which may include if we need to keep processing your information for our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation. We may also request you provide us with additional information to confirm your identity before responding to your request. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the authorities applicable to your situation, though we invite you to contact us with any concern, as we would be happy to try to resolve it directly.

California Residents

This Privacy Notice for California Residents (“CCPA Notice”) supplements the information contained in the Privacy Notice and applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California (“Consumer”). We have created this CCPA Notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). It does not apply to personal information we collect from our employees and job applicants in their capacity as employees and job applicants. It also does not apply to personal information we collect from employees, owners, directors, officers, or contractors of businesses in the course of our provision or receipt of business-related services.

Summary of Information We Collect

California law requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information that we have collected within the last twelve (12) months about California Consumers, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined by CCPA) for which the information was collected, and the categories of parties with whom we share personal information for a business purpose.

Most of the categories of information described below are collected in connection with our representation of you in a legal matter. We do not sell your Personal Information. We or our service providers may collect the below categories of information for the purposes described in the Why We Use Personal Information Legal Bases Section above.

We may also use the below categories of personal information for compliance with applicable laws and regulations or may combine the information we collect (“Aggregate”) or remove pieces of Personal Information (“De-Identify”) to limit or prevent identification of any particular user or device.

Your Rights and Choices

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights. California law may permit you to request that we:

• Provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you in the last twelve (12) months; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we shared personal information;
• Provide access to or a copy of certain information we hold about you; and
• Delete certain information we have about you.

You may have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any. You also have the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights.

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable Consumer request related to your Personal Information. YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY BEFORE WE FULFILL ANY REQUEST. To designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.

Certain information may be exempt from such requests under applicable law. For instance, we may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) for certain reasons as permitted and set forth in the CCPA. These reasons include (just to name a few):

• Completing the transaction for which the personal information was collected;
• Detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecuting those responsible for such activities;
• Debugging products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
• Complying with a legal obligation; and
• Making other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

We need to collect and retain certain types of information so that we can provide the Services to you. If you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use the Services.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request by contacting us by email at admin@newlawinternational.com. We endeavor to respond to a verifiable Consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to ninety (90) days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the twelve (12) month period preceding our receipt of the verifiable Consumer’s request. If applicable, the response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

Questions About CCPA

If you have any questions regarding this CCPA Notice, please contact us at admin@newlawinternational.com.

Cookie Notice

NLI uses cookies and similar technologies on its Sites. You can find out about cookies and how to control them in the information below. This cookie notice (“Cookie Notice”) explains how we use cookies in connection with the Sites and your related choices.

If you do not accept the use of these cookies, please disable them by following the instructions in this Cookie Notice. This may affect your ability to use the Sites.

What Are Cookies, Generally?

Like most websites, we use cookies. Cookies do many different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on a user’s computer for record-keeping purposes. When you visit, access or use the Sites, we may – by means of cookies, beacons, tags, scripts, or similar technologies – automatically collect technical information. A cookie can generally be classified by its lifespan and the domain to which it belongs.

By lifespan, a cookie is either a session cookie, which is erased when the user closes the browser; or a persistent cookie, which remains on the user’s computer or device for a pre-defined period of time.

Generally speaking, there are two types of domains to which cookies belong:

• First-party cookies are set by the web server of the visited page and share the same domain as the visited page (in this case, the com domain); or
• Third-party cookies are stored by a different domain than the visited page’s domain. This can happen when, for example, our Sites references a file, such as JavaScript, located outside its domain.

How and Why We Use Cookies

The cookies that we use are essential to the proper functioning of the Sites and cannot be switched off in our system. These are known as “strictly necessary” cookies, and this includes cookies that capture and store users’ preferences, account settings, and certain login information (mainly for convenience, user verification, and account security). These cookies typically are set in response to actions made by you, such as a request for access to our Sites, setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms.

On our Website, we may use the following cookies:

• Cookies (or browser cookies);
• Flash Cookies. Certain features of our Website may use local stored objects (or Flash cookies) to collect and store information about your preferences and navigation to, from, and on our Website. Flash cookies are not managed by the same browser settings as are used for browser cookies. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of the Website may then be inaccessible or not function properly; and
• Web Beacons. Pages of the Website and our e-mails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email and for other related website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain website content and verifying system and server integrity).

Disabling Cookies

You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but because the cookies that we use are essential, if you do block them, some parts of the Sites will not work.

Changes to this Cookie Notice

NLI may update this Cookie Notice from time to time, at its sole discretion. If so, we will post an updated Cookie Notice on our Website. Changes, modifications, additions, or deletions will be effective immediately on their posting to the Website. We encourage you to review this Cookie Notice regularly for any changes. Your continued use of the Website or your continued provision of Personal Information to us after the posting of such notice will be subject to the terms of the then-current Privacy Notice and Cookie Notice. If you continue to use the Website, you will be deemed to have accepted the change.
