Questions or concerns? Reading this privacy notice will help you understand your privacy rights and choices. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our website. If you still have any questions or concerns, please contact us at privacy@desantisbreindel.com.
Our website enables visitors to learn about our company and the services we provide to our clients. Visitors may voluntarily choose to contact us and provide information about themselves and their organization and the nature of the services they might want us to provide.
Whether a visitor simply looks at the material on our website, or voluntarily chooses to contact us and provide information about themselves or their organization, we only use such visitor information to contact the visitor who provided it so as to market our services or respond to information voluntarily submitted by visitors who contact us.
We may provide visitors from time to time with email notifications about our company, such as marketing material and announcements of industry awards or honors. You may OPT OUT of receiving such notifications from us.
We do not sell, transfer or share any visitor information to or with third parties. Our website is passive and there are no e-commerce, payment, financial or business transactions conducted through our website. Our professional services are not contracted for or provided through the website.
What personal information do we process? There are two types of information we may collect from you when you visit our website:
Do we receive any information from third parties? If you voluntarily submit information regarding you or your organization, in order to most effectively respond to your inquiry, we may check your website and publicly available databases and social media platforms and our marketing consultants. Any information we obtain about you or your organization from such sources is maintained internally by us and not forwarded, sold, transferred or shared with third parties.
How do we process your information? We process your information to respond to your voluntary inquiries and to provide notifications and marketing materials to you.

How do we keep your information safe? We have organizational and technical processes and procedures in place to protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
What are your rights? Depending on where you are located geographically, the applicable privacy law may mean you have certain rights regarding your personal information.

This information includes mailing addresses, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, intent data (or user behavior data), Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, social media profiles, social media URLs, and custom profiles, for purposes of targeted advertising and promotion of our services. If you interact with us on a social media platform using your social media account (e.g., Facebook or Twitter), we receive personal information about you such as your name, email address, and gender. Any personal information that we collect from your social media account depends on your social media account’s privacy settings. We do not forward, sell, transfer or share any such information we may obtain about you or your organization.
We process your information to respond to your voluntary inquiries regarding our company and our services and provide notifications and marketing content regarding our company and our services.
We only process your personal information when we believe it is necessary and we have a valid legal reason (i.e., legal basis) to do so under applicable law, like with your consent, to comply with laws, to respond to your inquiries, to protect your rights, or to fulfill our legitimate business interests.
If you are located in the EU or UK, this section applies to you.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK GDPR require us to explain the valid legal bases we rely on in order to process your personal information. As such, we may rely on the following legal bases to process your personal information:
Consent. We may process your information if you have given us permission (i.e., consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Learn more about withdrawing your consent.
Performance of a Contract. We may process your personal information when we believe it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations to you, if any.
Legitimate Interests. We may process your information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests and those interests do not outweigh your interests and fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, we may process your personal information for some of the purposes described in order to:
Legal Obligations. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations, such as to cooperate with a law enforcement body or regulatory agency, exercise or defend our legal rights, or disclose your information as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
Vital Interests. We may process your information where we believe it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of a third party, such as situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person.
If you are located in Canada, this section applies to you.
We may process your information if you have given us specific permission (i.e., express consent) to use your personal information for a specific purpose, or in situations where your permission can be inferred (i.e., implied consent). You can withdraw your consent at any time.
In some exceptional cases, we may be legally permitted under applicable law to process your information without your consent, including, for example:
We do not sell, transfer, share or otherwise provide any of your information to or with third parties. We may use vendors to assist us with data processing, data storage, information technology, email and other marketing programs. Each of these vendors is required to enter into strict confidentiality agreements with us whereby they are prohibited from using any of your information except to provide services to our company.
We may use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect and store your information.
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our website is at your own risk. You should only access the website within a secure environment. Further, you should only provide to us information about yourself and your organization through our contact template or by uploading information to us if you are comfortable with the risk of transmission through the internet and our storage of such information.
We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age. The services which our company provides are business-to-business services and there is no reason for any one under the age of 18 to access our website.
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

You can make such a request by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” below.
We will consider and act upon any request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us by using the contact details provided in the section “HOW CAN YOU CONTACT US ABOUT THIS NOTICE?” below.
However, please note that this will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before its withdrawal nor, when applicable law allows, will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.

You will then be removed from the marketing lists. However, we may still communicate with you — for example, to respond to your inquiries or to send you service-related messages that are necessary for the administration and use of your account, or for other non-marketing purposes.
Cookies and similar technologies: Most Web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove cookies or reject cookies, this could affect certain features or services of our website.
If you have questions or comments about your privacy rights, you may email us at privacy@desantisbreindel.com.
Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. At this stage no uniform technology standard for recognizing and implementing DNT signals has been finalized. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice not to be tracked online. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
