Use and Why we collect and use your Information

BC3Cba obtains and uses your information for several valid purposes, including:

  • Providing requested legal advice, representation, and other legal services
  • Corresponding with you about your legal matter and our services
  • Managing billing, posting payments, and other administrative matters
  • Complying with and fulfilling legal, regulatory and ethical obligations
  • Performing conflict of interest checks and risk analysis
  • Enhancing our website and client experience
  • Transmitting legal updates, newsletters or other marketing communications (with your permission)

We never use your information for a purpose contrary to that for which the information was originally collected.

Bases for the processing of information

The processing we carry out with respect to your personal information is based on one or more of the following legal bases applicable to personal data processing:

  • Your consent (i.e., agreeing to receive marketing communications)
  • Processing necessary for performance of a contract (i.e., rendering legal services)
  • Compliance with legal obligations (e.g., anti-money laundering, auditing/retention requirements)
  • Legitimate interests pursued by BC3Cba, provided that such interests do not prejudice your interests or otherwise override your rights

Where relevant, we will seek your further specific consent prior to processing sensitive data.

The ongoing protection of your information

Data protection and privacy laws are core to our business and BC3Cba uses a range of security controls, including:

  • encryption of electronic records and communications
  • secure physical storage location for paper records
  • access controls and authentication mechanisms (limiting access to authorized team members only)
  • regular security audits and vulnerability scans
  • staff education on privacy and data protection protocols
  • use of industry standards for secure servers and backup protocols

In the case of a data security breach, BC3Cba is prepared to contain the breach, notify potentially affected individuals and meet all required reporting standards under applicable regulations.

Duration of data retention

We only keep personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which they were collected, or as required by law, professional standards, or contractual provisions. For example, this means that we may retain your information for the duration of your client relationship and thereafter for a further period (usually seven years unless a longer retention period is required).

We destroy or anonymize personal data once the relevant retention period has expired.

You have a right to request that we delete your information, subject to all legal, professional standards and ethical requirements.

Disclosure of your information: who will receive it and why

BC3Cba takes our clients’ privacy very seriously, and we only share client information when we have a valid business need to do so or as otherwise authorized, such as with:

  • Our lawyers, staff, and consultants who are directly involved in your legal matter
  • Courts, government agencies and regulators, or opposing counsel, as necessary for your legal matter
  • Third parties who assist us with providing our services (e.g., IT contractors, secure cloud storage)
  • Third parties with your permission

We will never sell or provide our clients’ personally identifiable information to third parties for marketing or any other purposes. Our third party service providers are each contractually obligated to protect our privacy policies.

Data transfers both intra-group and to third parties

While BC3Cba may operate primarily in the United States, certain matters handled or technological solutions used may require the transfer of data across state or national lines. When this occurs:

  • we will comply with any applicable data protection provisions (i.e., the GDPR or CCPA, as applicable);
  • we will ensure that secure transfer mechanisms and terms are in place (i.e., standard contractual clauses for international transfers); and
  • you will be generally notified where such information transfer is required to resolve your matter or per your request.

Your privacy and cybersecurity remain paramount here, regardless of where such data may be processed.

Children

BC3Cba provides services for adults and businesses, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16 without verifiable parental consent.

We regularly train our personnel on compliance concepts and ethical data handling.
