Virtlaw, PLLC ("Virtlaw") is a law firm and legal startup dedicated to providing legal services to startups and SMEs. We are deeply committed to safeguarding the privacy of confidential and "Personal Information," which encompasses data that directly or indirectly identifies individuals, including clients, staff, agents, lawyers, law students, job applicants, and others both within and outside our organization. Upholding the principles of professional conduct and client confidentiality, Virtlaw has established this Privacy Statement ("Statement") to outline our data protection practices.

Application and Scope.

This Statement adheres to universal privacy and data protection principles applicable in all the States and regions where we operate. It reflects our commitment to comply with the law, protect client confidentiality, and effectively represent our clients within legal boundaries. The Statement serves to inform clients, law students, job applicants, website visitors, and other third parties about our privacy policies, which may apply to them.

This Statement is directed at external parties providing Personal Information to the Firm, as well as those who visit or utilize our websites, Virtlaw Dashboard, Virtlaw mobile app, social media platforms, and email communications containing a link to this Statement (collectively, "Internet Services"). Additionally, it outlines how Virtlaw collects, processes, and discloses Personal Information concerning the provision of legal services and the use of Internet Services.

Collection and Use of Personal Information.

Virtlaw collects Personal Information during the provision of legal services and through visitor interactions with our website and Internet Services. We may also obtain Personal Information when you engage with us on social media platforms or from third parties. Furthermore, we may automatically collect information, including Personal Information, as described in our Cookie Policy below.

We may use Personal Information in our legitimate interest for the following purposes:

• To contact you and address your requests and inquiries.

• To personalize your experience and assist you while using our Internet Services.

• To manage, monitor, and analyze our business and website operations.

• To facilitate our recruitment and selection processes.

• To provide legal services to our clients and handle their instructions.

• To keep you informed about legal developments or firm news (unless you opt out).

• To enter into or fulfill various contracts.

• To adhere to applicable laws, regulations, professional obligations, including anti-money laundering requirements.

Confidentiality, Security, and Retention of Personal Information.

Maintaining the confidentiality of information entrusted to us by our clients is paramount. The Firm employs reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect Personal Information, both on our website and while using our Internet Services. While these safeguards are designed to maintain confidentiality, they are not infallible, and we cannot guarantee their constant effectiveness.

We mandate that consultants, suppliers, and vendors uphold data protection standards consistent with relevant data processing obligations and applicable data protection laws. We may retain information, including Personal Information, for the time necessary to meet legal obligations or the original purposes for which it was collected, as outlined in this Statement.

Disclosure and Transfer of Personal Information.

The Firm does not share Personal Information with unrelated parties outside the organization except under limited circumstances. These include disclosures to our agents, data processors, affiliates, subsidiaries, or other independent contractors acting on our behalf, subject to appropriate confidentiality and privacy commitments. We may also share Personal Information where required by law, authorized by you, or necessary to provide requested legal or non-legal services. Additionally, we may disclose Personal Information to regulatory authorities and law enforcement officials as required or permitted by law.
