Avodah Law Group

Last Updated: February 20, 2026

This Website Privacy Policy (this Privacy Policy) describes how Avodah Law Group, a California professional law corporation (Firm, we, us, or our) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes information about you in connection with your use of our website located at www.avodahlawgroup.com, including any mobile versions, subdomains, and related online services that link to or reference this Privacy Policy (collectively, the Website).

This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA) (together, the CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable U.S. privacy and data protection laws. This Privacy Policy does not supersede or diminish any confidentiality, privilege, or data protection obligations we owe to our clients under applicable law and rules of professional conduct.

By accessing or using the Website, or by otherwise providing information to us, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Privacy Policy.

1.  Scope; Relationship to Attorney-Client Privilege

1.1  Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect:
•    Through the Website, including when you visit, browse, or use the Website; submit information through contact, inquiry, or case evaluation forms; subscribe to newsletters or legal alerts; register for webinars, seminars, or events; apply for employment; or interact with Website-based tools or features.
•    In offline contexts where we expressly direct you to this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy does not govern:
•    Information collected from or about clients in the context of an attorney-client relationship (governed by separate engagement agreements and professional obligations of confidentiality and privilege);
•    Information collected in the course of providing legal services or interacting with courts, regulators, or other legal matter participants;
•    Information collected solely in our capacity as an employer about employees or job applicants covered by a separate HR privacy notice; or
•    Information that is not personal information as defined under applicable law.

1.2  No Legal Advice; No Attorney-Client Relationship by Website Use
Your use of the Website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is created only if and when: (a) we have determined that no conflict of interest exists; (b) we have agreed to represent you; and (c) you and the Firm have executed a written engagement agreement. Until these steps are completed, do not send confidential, sensitive, or privileged information. Any information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege.

1.3  Relationship to Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidentiality
We will treat information received from clients in the course of an attorney-client relationship in accordance with applicable rules of professional conduct and statutory confidentiality obligations. To the extent there is any conflict between our obligations under the CCPA/CPRA and our professional obligations of confidentiality and privilege, we will generally give precedence to our professional obligations, to the extent permitted by law.

2.  Definitions and Key Terms

2.1  Consumer
Consumer means a natural person who is a California resident, including any individual present in California other than for a temporary or transitory purpose, and any individual domiciled in California who is outside California for a temporary or transitory purpose.

2.2  Personal Information
Personal information means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular Consumer or household. Personal information does not include: publicly available information; deidentified or aggregated information; or information expressly excluded from the CCPA/CPRA scope.

2.3  Sensitive Personal Information
Sensitive personal information has the meaning given under the CCPA/CPRA, and includes: government identifiers (such as Social Security, driver's license, or passport numbers); financial account numbers combined with access codes; precise geolocation (within a radius of 1,850 feet); racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or union membership; contents of private communications; genetic, biometric, and health data; and information concerning sex life or sexual orientation. We do not typically collect sensitive personal information through the public-facing portions of the Website for the purpose of inferring characteristics about Consumers.

2.4  Sale and Sharing
Sale or sell means transferring a Consumer's personal information to a third party for monetary or other valuable consideration. Sharing means transferring personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising. As of the Last Updated date above, we do not sell and do not share personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

2.5  Service Provider and Contractor
Service provider and contractor have the meanings given in the CCPA/CPRA and generally refer to entities that process personal information on our behalf and are contractually restricted from using it for purposes beyond those specified in our contract.

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information under the CCPA/CPRA.

You may request that we delete personal information we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions — for example, where retention is necessary to complete a transaction, perform a contract, detect or prevent fraud, debug errors, exercise or defend legal claims, comply with legal and professional obligations, or use the information internally in a lawful manner compatible with the context in which it was provided. Given our obligations as a law firm, certain personal information (such as client matter data and conflict-check records) may not be subject to deletion.

9.6  Right to Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA/CPRA. We will not deny you goods or services, charge you different prices, provide a different level or quality of service, or suggest that you may receive different treatment as a result of exercising your rights. We may, however, offer financial incentives or different pricing that are reasonably related to the value of your personal information, in compliance with applicable law and with appropriate notice and consent.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from accidental, unlawful, or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use. These measures may include: access controls and authentication mechanisms; encryption or pseudonymization of certain data; secure network configuration and monitoring; data handling and retention policies and procedures; employee training on data security and confidentiality; and vendor due diligence and contractual security requirements. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure. Accordingly, while we strive to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
