Introduction
Lakinberg Law PLLC (“Lakinberg Law,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share personal information when you visit our website or contact us.
Who We Are (Data Controller)
The data controller is Lakinberg Law PLLC, One World Trade Center, 85th Floor, New York, NY 10007, United States. You can reach us by email at contact@lakinberglaw.com or by telephone at +1 212 220 7434.
Personal Data We Collect
We may collect the following categories of personal data: identity and contact data (name, email address, telephone number, company name); enquiry details and information you choose to provide about your matter; technical data (IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited); and cookie and usage data. We do not intentionally collect special category data through the website. If you voluntarily provide such information in an enquiry, we will handle it with appropriate care and only as necessary to respond to you.
How We Collect Your Data
We collect data directly from you when you complete our contact form or communicate with us; automatically through cookies and similar technologies when you browse the website; and from third-party service providers (e.g., analytics or hosting providers) acting on our instructions.
Purposes and Lawful Bases for Processing
We process personal data to respond to your enquiry and provide legal services, to manage our client and prospective-client relationships, to maintain our website and improve its functionality, to comply with legal and professional obligations, and to communicate with you about our services where you have consented to receive such communications. The lawful bases we rely on include performance of a contract or pre-contractual enquiries, our legitimate interests in operating the firm, compliance with legal obligations, and your consent where applicable.
How We Share Your Data
We may share personal data with service providers who assist us (hosting, email, IT support, analytics) under written agreements; professional advisers or co-counsel where necessary for your matter; and courts, regulators, or law enforcement when required by law. We do not sell personal data.
International Transfers
As a New York-based firm with international clients, personal data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area. Where we transfer data from the EEA, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or rely on an adequacy decision where available.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this policy. Website enquiries are generally retained for up to 3 years after last contact unless a longer period is required for legal or professional reasons. Client matter data is retained in accordance with applicable professional rules and limitation periods. Technical and analytics data is retained according to the retention periods of the relevant tools, typically 13–26 months.
Your Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area or another jurisdiction that grants similar rights, you may have the right to access your personal data, rectify inaccurate data, request erasure, restrict or object to processing, exercise data portability, and withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@lakinberglaw.com. We will respond within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use essential cookies that are necessary for the website to function. Non-essential cookies (analytics or preference cookies) are only used with your consent. You can manage your preferences through our cookie banner or browser settings.
Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or destruction. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.
Children’s Data
Our website is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
