Click “unsubscribe” in any marketing email or reply STOP to SMS. Transactional or service messages will still be sent when necessary.
Access, Correction, Deletion
Subject to legal exceptions, you may request to review, update, correct, or delete the personal data we hold. Email privacy@konstantakislaw.com with your request.
California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)
You have the right to know, delete, correct, or limit the use of your personal information and to opt out of “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information.

You may have additional rights: data portability, restriction, objection, and lodging a complaint with your supervisory authority.
8. Data Security
We implement industry-standard administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as encryption in transit, access controls, and secure storage—to protect your data. No system is completely foolproof; please contact us immediately if you suspect any security issue.
9. Data Retention
- Client/matter files: retained as required by state bar rules (generally 6+ years after matter closes)
- Marketing records: kept until you withdraw consent or we determine they are no longer needed
- Analytics logs: typically 26 months or shorter, per platform defaults
When retention is no longer necessary, we securely delete or anonymize the data.
10. International Transfers
We are based in the United States. If you access the Site from outside the U.S., you consent to the transfer of your information to the U.S., which may have different data-protection laws than your jurisdiction. We use approved contractual clauses or other safeguards when transferring EU/UK data.
11. Third-Party Links
Our Site may link to external websites (e.g., filing portals, bar associations). We do not control their privacy practices. Review those sites’ policies before providing any information.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the revised version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Material changes will be highlighted or communicated directly when possible.
