Data & Privacy

Data privacy counsel for founders and engineers

Privacy policies and notices, CCPA/CPRA and GDPR issue spotting, data governance, and AI-system governance from IAPP-certified counsel (CIPP/US, CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT) in Los Angeles, California. Additional privacy compliance work is scoped separately where your data practices or regulatory footprint require it.

Where the law actually differs

There is no federal consumer privacy statute, so the answer to “what do we owe this person” depends on where they live. Twenty states now have a comprehensive law in force; the rest reach the same conduct through sectoral statutes, or not at all. Denser dots mean broader statutory coverage.

What's included in a privacy notice engagement

  • A data-map interview covering what personal information is collected, why, and where it goes
  • A CCPA/CPRA-scoped privacy notice drafted to your actual processing, not a generic template
  • Implementation notes for engineering and product on what the notice commits the company to
  • GDPR scope added where the company has European users or data subjects

How it works

  1. 01
    Tell me about your matter
    A short questionnaire, scoped to what's reasonably necessary to evaluate the matter - nothing more.
  2. 02
    Conflict check and scoping
    A conflict check runs before anything substantive is discussed, then the scope and fee structure are confirmed.
  3. 03
    Engagement letter, e-signed
    A clear, written agreement with every required disclosure, signed before work begins.
  4. 04
    Work begins
    You get a direct line to the attorney handling your matter - not a triage queue.

Important
