Privacy Policy

The Law Offices of Shawn S. Sedaghat ("we," "us," "our," or "the firm") respects the privacy of visitors to sedaghatlaw.com (the "website"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and what rights you have under California law (including the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA) and applicable federal law. By using this website, you consent to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

We collect two types of information: information you provide directly to us, and information that is automatically collected when you visit the website.

When you complete a contact form, schedule a consultation, request a copy of our book, or otherwise communicate with us through the website, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email address, phone number, and a description of your immigration matter. This information is voluntary. You may always contact us by telephone instead.

When you visit the website, we (or our analytics providers) may automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser type, referring URL, pages viewed, and time spent on the site. This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies and is used to understand how visitors use the website and to improve it.

We use the information you provide to respond to your inquiry, schedule consultations, deliver requested materials, and follow up regarding your immigration matter. We use automatically-collected technical data to operate, maintain, and improve the website. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Submitting information through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship with the Law Offices of Shawn S. Sedaghat is created only by a written engagement agreement signed by you and an attorney of the firm. Until that relationship is established, do not send confidential or sensitive information through the website or by email.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in limited circumstances: (1) with vendors that provide services to us (such as website hosting, email delivery, and analytics) under contractual confidentiality obligations; (2) when required by law, court order, or subpoena; (3) to protect the firm's legal rights or the rights and safety of others; and (4) with your express consent.

The website uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize repeat visitors, remember preferences, and collect aggregated analytics. You may set your browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the website may not function correctly without them. We may use third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) whose use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

California residents have the right under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to: (1) know what personal information the firm has collected about them in the past 12 months; (2) request deletion of personal information the firm has collected, subject to legal-retention exceptions; (3) opt out of the "sale" of personal information — the firm does not sell personal information, but this right is disclosed for completeness; and (4) not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@sedaghatlaw.com or (818) 382-3333. We will verify your identity before responding.

We retain personal information for as long as is necessary to provide legal services, comply with our legal and ethical obligations (including the California State Bar's record-retention rules), respond to disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. No security measure is perfect, however, and we cannot guarantee that information transmitted over the Internet will remain secure. You transmit information at your own risk.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of the page. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we collect, use, and protect information.
