Last Updated: May 22, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Olek Law Benefit LLC (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects the personal information you provide via oleklaw.com (the “Site”) as well as through other means.

1. Information We Collect and How We Use It

The information we collect about you depends on how you interact with us. We collect information: (a) when you provide it to us directly, (b) automatically using technology when you visit the Site, and (c) from other sources.

Information You Provide Us Directly

When you provide us with information directly, such as by filling out an online form to explore a potential attorney-client relationship, scheduling a meeting, completing a client intake form, subscribing to a newsletter, or providing us with information needed for obtaining payment.

We use this information to respond to your inquiries, schedule appointments with you, determine whether to enter into an attorney-client relationship with you, provide you with legal services if you become a client of the Firm, send you newsletters and client updates, monitor performance and usage of the Site, analyze our business operations, and for Firm business purposes, including social, marketing, client communications, billing, and other business purposes.

Automatically Collected Information

We and our third-party service providers may also collect information such as your device type, IP address, and other information about your computer, device, or use of our Site. We use that information for multiple purposes, including marketing and providing analytics about usage and traffic sources to the Site.

We may use third-party services, such as Google Analytics, to analyze how visitors interact with the Site and other services that we may offer, such as email newsletters. These services may track your use of a device over time and across websites. You may be able to opt out of such tracking by installing plug-ins on your browsers and via other means. See https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, for example.

Information We Obtain from Other Sources

We may supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other sources, such as clients and people referring you to us. Additionally, we may obtain information from publicly available sources, such as social networking sites.

2. How We Disclose Your Information

We disclose information about you:

• as directed by you or with your consent to provide legal advice or represent you in a legal matter,
• to our service providers and processors who assist us in maintaining and operating our Site and business systems, engaging in marketing, communications, and billing activities,
• to protect our rights, including in legal proceedings or collections matters,
• otherwise in connection with the delivery of legal services,
• as required or permitted by law, regulations, and our ethical obligations.

3. Cookies, Beacons, and Similar Technologies

We utilize cookies, web beacons, and related tools to monitor and manage how you interact with the Site and other offerings, such as email newsletters. A cookie is a small file that a site can place on your browser or device to store information. These tools help us improve your experience by recognizing returning visitors, gathering usage data, and conducting research and analytics on site performance. Third-party sites you access via links on our Site may also deploy cookies or comparable technologies. Please review their privacy notices to learn how they handle tracking. If you’d rather not have cookies placed, you can adjust your browser settings to prompt you before accepting them or to block them entirely.

4. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

• Right to Know: Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
• Right to Delete: Request deletion of personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not “sell” or “share” your personal information as those terms are defined within the CCPA.

To submit a request, email “CCPA/CPRA Privacy Request” to solutions [at] oleklaw.com with your full name, email address, and request description. We will respond within 10 business days.

If you wish to designate an authorized agent to make access or deletion requests on your behalf, you must provide that authorized agent with signed written documentation authorizing them to do so. We reserve the right to contact you and verify your identity and confirm that you authorized them to make such a request before processing it. If, following reasonable attempts to communicate with you, we are unable to obtain such verification and confirmation, we reserve the right not to process such a request.

5. Privacy Choices

We give you the right to opt out of our marketing and other communications and to correct, add to, or erase the personal data we hold about you. To exercise these options, please use the contact details below.
Where laws relating to privacy and data protection apply to you and we act as the data controller, you can ask us to:

7. Data Retention.

We keep your information as long as it is necessary or relevant to the purposes described above and we comply with any applicable agreement with or instructions from a client with regard to data retention, which often require holding all communications for a number of years.

Information retained for archival or business continuity purposes may be retained for an additional period of time until overwritten or no longer needed.

8. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
