Overview
Shkoukani LLP (“Shkoukani,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and disclose it, how we secure it, and the choices and rights available to you—particularly for residents of California and Illinois. This Privacy Policy applies to our website and online services located at or linked from shkoukanilegal.com and to our client-intake and consultation workflows conducted through those services. It does not apply to information protected by attorney-client privilege or attorney work product to the extent such information is exempt under applicable law andprofessional rules.
1) Notice at Collection (California)
At or before the time we collect personal information, we disclose the categories of information we collect, the purposes for which we will use it, whether we sell or share it, and our retention periods or the criteria used to determine them. Categories may include identifiers (name, email, phone, IP address), professional information (employer, role), internet/network activity (device data, pages visited), geolocation, audio/visual content you submit, and consultation intake details. We do not collect biometric identifiers via the website. If that changes, we will first provide separate notice and obtain consent. Purposes include providing services, scheduling consultations, security, analytics, compliance, and preventing fraud. We do not sell/share data. Retention is as long as needed to fulfill purposes and meet legal obligations.
2) Information We Collect and Sources
We collect personal information directly from you (forms, consultations, emails), automatically (cookies, logs, security tools), and from service providers acting on our behalf.
3) How We Use Information
We use personal information to provide and improve services; respond to inquiries; process consultations and payments; maintain security; comply with law; perform analytics; and communicate updates. If we use sensitive personal information beyond what the law permits as necessary, we will provide a right to limit that use.
4) Cookies, Embedded Content, and Comments
Our site uses cookies for functionality, security, and analytics. If you leave a comment, we may store your comment and related metadata. If you upload images, avoid including location data. Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos) that behaves as if you visited another website. You may manage cookies in your browser.
5) Attorney-Client Confidentiality
Communications seeking legal advice may be privileged, but sending information through a web form does not create an attorney-client relationship. Avoid sending sensitive information until representation is confirmed. Once engaged, client information is handled under applicable rules and agreements.
6) Disclosure of Information
We disclose data to service providers (hosting, email, analytics, scheduling, spam detection), to authorities as required by law, and to successors in reorganization. We do not disclose for cross-context behavioral advertising.
7) Security
We implement reasonable safeguards. No system is perfectly secure; if we learn of a security incident, we will respond as required by law.
8) Illinois Residents — Biometric Information (BIPA)
We do not collect biometric data. If we ever do, we will provide written notice, obtain release, publish retention/destruction schedules, and protect data as required by Illinois law.
9) California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have rights to know, access, delete, correct, and port data; to opt out of sale/sharing (we do not sell/share); to limit sensitive personal information; and to non-discrimination. Requests may be submitted to [email protected] or (773) 820-7202. We verify and respond within statutory timelines. We honor opt-out preference signals like Global Privacy Control if applicable.
10) Monitoring and Recording of Communications
We do not use session replay, keystroke logging, or similar tools that capture communications without notice. If we add live chat, call recording, or similar services, we will provide conspicuous notice and obtain required consent, including under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code §§ 631–632.7).
11) Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
12) Data Retention and De-Identification
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for our purposes and obligations, then delete or de-identify it. Analytics and logs are kept shorter where feasible.
13) Third-Party Links and Services
Embedded content or links may take you to third-party sites governed by their own policies. Please review them before use.
14) Your Choices
Manage cookies in your browser; opt out of marketing emails via unsubscribe links. If California rights apply and we ever sell/share or process sensitive information beyond allowed purposes, we will provide links and honor Global Privacy Control.
15) Accessibility
We are committed to accessibility. Contact [email protected] for alternate formats.
16) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The ‘Last Updated’ date reflects revisions.
