What personal information does TCP Law collect when I use its website?
TCP Law may collect personally identifiable information that you voluntarily provide, including your first and last name, mailing address, email address, and phone number. This information is only collected when you choose to provide it — for example, when you submit the contact form, send an email, sign up for the newsletter, or submit payment information for services. TCP Law does not collect personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide it. In addition to personal information, the site automatically collects non-identifiable information through cookies, log files, and analytics tools, including your browser type and version, IP address, device information, and pages visited and time spent on the site.
Does TCP Law sell my personal information to third parties?
No — TCP Law does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. The Privacy Policy is explicit on this point. TCP Law may share data with trusted partners for limited purposes such as statistical analysis, email delivery, customer support, or service delivery, but all such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than providing those specific services to TCP Law, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information. TCP Law will only disclose personal information without notice if required by law, to protect its legal rights or property, or to protect the personal safety of users or the public under exigent circumstances.
How does TCP Law protect the personal information I submit through the website?
TCP Law employs industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocols, and regular system monitoring and updates. When personal information such as credit card numbers is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through SSL encryption. However, the Privacy Policy acknowledges that no data transmission over the internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and that security and privacy limitations inherent to the internet are beyond TCP Law's control. TCP Law strives to protect your personal information while being transparent about the inherent limitations of internet security.
What rights do I have under GDPR if I am located in the European Economic Area?
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), TCP Law's Privacy Policy recognizes the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): the right to access your personal data; the right to rectification — correcting inaccuracies in your data; the right to erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten; the right to restriction of processing; the right to data portability — obtaining a copy of your data in a machine-readable format; and the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing. To exercise any of these rights, you can contact TCP Law directly at john@tcplawfirm.com.
What rights do I have under the CCPA if I am a California resident?
If you are a California resident, TCP Law's Privacy Policy recognizes the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): the right to know — requesting details about what personal information is collected and how it is used; the right to delete — requesting deletion of your personal data; the right to opt out of the sale of your personal data (though TCP Law confirms it does not sell personal data); and the right to non-discrimination — meaning you can exercise your privacy rights without being discriminated against for doing so. To exercise any of these rights, contact TCP Law at john@tcplawfirm.com.
How does TCP Law use my personal information once it is collected?
TCP Law uses your personal information for three primary purposes. First, to provide services — communicating with you regarding services or products you have requested, operating the website, and complying with legal obligations. Second, for marketing and communication — with your consent, TCP Law may contact you via email to inform you of other products or services, announcements, promotional offers, alerts, confirmations, or surveys. You can opt out of these communications at any time by clicking the UNSUBSCRIBE button in any marketing email. Third, for website improvement — using non-personal information to improve the site's functionality, analyze user behavior, and deliver customized content to users whose behavior indicates interest in particular subject areas.
Does TCP Law collect personal information from children?
No — TCP Law does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. The Privacy Policy states explicitly that if you are under thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use the website. This is consistent with federal requirements under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child under thirteen has provided personal information to TCP Law, you can contact the firm directly at john@tcplawfirm.com or 917-612-1059 to request that the information be removed.
What non-personal information does TCP Law automatically collect when I visit the website?
When you visit the TCP Law website, certain non-identifiable information is automatically collected through cookies, log files, and analytics tools. This includes your browser type and version, IP address, device information, the pages you visited on the site, and the time you spent on each page. TCP Law also automatically collects information such as domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation and quality maintenance of the website service and for providing general statistics about site usage — it is not used to personally identify you.
Can I opt out of marketing emails from TCP Law?
Yes — if you have consented to receiving marketing communications from TCP Law, you can opt out at any time by clicking the UNSUBSCRIBE button included in any marketing email from the firm. TCP Law's Privacy Policy confirms that marketing emails are sent only with your consent and that you retain the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect communications related to services you have requested or are actively engaged in — those service-related communications are separate from marketing outreach.
How will I know if TCP Law's Privacy Policy changes?
TCP Law reserves the right to update its Privacy Policy at any time. When changes are made, they will be posted on the Privacy Policy page with an updated effective date — the current policy is effective as of December 1, 2024. Your continued use of the TCP Law website and services after a policy modification constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy and your agreement to be bound by its terms. If you have questions about the Privacy Policy or want to exercise your privacy rights, you can contact TCP Law at john@tcplawfirm.com or 917-612-1059.
