Who has access to the information?
We will not sell, rent, or lease mailing lists or other user data to others, and we will not make your personal information available to any unaffiliated parties, except as follows: -to agents, website vendors and/or contractors who may use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with us; -if we are unable to assist with your matter, but know an unaffiliated attorney or firm that may be able to help you, we may refer you and share information you provided us with that party; and -as required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy, as needed in connection with the transfer of our business assets (for example, if we are acquired by another firm or if we are liquidated during bankruptcy proceedings), or if we believe in good faith that sharing the data is necessary to protect our rights or property.

Privacy Notice for California Residents
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
This Privacy Notice for California Residents supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy and applies to California residents who use the Site. Any terms defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, have the same meaning when used in this supplemental notice.

Information We Collect
Personal Information Collected (By Categories Set Forth In CCPA). During the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information about California Consumers (including, but not limited to, customers, job applicants and/or employees) through the Site or another source:
Identifiers (including, for example, names, email addresses, postal addresses, and IP addresses);
“Personal Information” as defined in California Civil Code section 1798.80, subsection (e) (such as names, address, and telephone numbers);
Characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law; Commercial information (such as records of services provided);
Biometric information, defined in the CCPA to include an individual’s biological characteristics that can be used singly or in combination with other identifying data, to establish individual identity (for example, images recorded on security video);
Internet or other electronic network activity information (such as website usage details, IP addresses, or the equipment used to access our network);
Geolocation data (for example, the office in which an employee works or that a client visited);
Inferences drawn from any of the information identified above to create a profile about a consumer reflecting, for example, the consumer’s preferences, characteristics, or predispositions (for example, a client’s billing preferences).

Personal Information Disclosed For A Business Purpose To Third Parties
Our general practice is to not disclose website users’ or office visitors’ Personal Information, and not to “Third Parties,” as the CCPA defines that phrase. During the preceding 12 months, we have not disclosed personal information about California Consumers to such Third Parties.

Your Rights and Choices
The CCPA provides California Consumers with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Access to Specific Information and Data Portability Rights
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months:
The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling that personal information. The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).
If we sold your Personal Information, the categories of Personal Information that each category of recipient purchased; and
If we disclosed your Personal Information for a business purpose, the categories of Personal Information that each category of recipient obtained.
To make such a request, you may either call (619) 796-3680 or send an email to admin@leifkleven.com. Please note that your request is subject to verification, and that we are not obligated to provide personal information in response to such a request if a consumer makes more than two requests in a 12-month period. In order to verify that you are the consumer to whom the personal information relates, we may request certain information from you. To obtain information about categories of Personal Information, we may request that you submit two data points that match data points that we maintain about you and that we determine are reliable for purposes of verifying your identity. To obtain specific pieces of information we may have about you, we may request that you submit at least three pieces of Personal Information that we can match to information we maintain along with a signed declaration under penalty of perjury.

Deletion Request Rights
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. To make such a request, you may either call (619) 796-3680 or send an email to admin@leifkleven.com. Please note that your request is subject to verification. The type of verification we may require will depend on the nature of the information that you seek to delete.
We also reserve the right to deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:
Complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected;
Provide a service requested by you;
Continue the ongoing business relationship with you within the reasonably anticipated context of that relationship;
Perform a contract between you and the Law Office of Leif Kleven;
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for that activity;

Right To Opt Out Or Opt In
If you are a California consumer, you have the right to opt out of having your personal information sold to Third Parties. Our current practice is to not sell your Personal Information for monetary or other valuable consideration and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months.
If you are a California consumer under the age of 16 but at least 13, you have the right to only have your information sold if you opt in and affirmatively authorize the sale of your personal information; if a California-resident child is less than 13, then the child’s parent or guardian must opt in and affirmatively authorize the sale of personal information. Our website is not intended for children under thirteen (13) years of age. The Law Office of Leif Kleven does not knowingly collect or use any personal information from children under thirteen (13) years of age.
We also do not knowingly sell any Personal Information, including that of Consumers under age 16, to any Third Party.

Right Of Non-Discrimination
You have a right to exercise your rights under the CCPA without being subject to discrimination, including, but not limited to, by:
Denying you goods or services.
Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Providing you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggesting that you will receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.
This right does not prohibit a business from charging a consumer a different price or rate, or from providing a different level or quality of goods or services, if that difference is reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the consumer’s data. In certain instances, we may need your information. For example, when you apply for a position with us, we may need the information provided on your resume to evaluate your application for employment. If you request that we delete this information, we may not be able to consider your application.

The Right to Correct Inaccurate Personal Information
A Consumer has the right to request a business that maintains inaccurate Personal Information about the consumer to correct that inaccurate Personal Information, taking into account the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing of the Personal Information.
To make such a request, you may either call (619) 796-3680 or send an email to admin@leifkleven.com. The type of verification we may require will depend on the nature of the information that you seek to correct.

The Right to Opt-Out of Data Sharing
You have the right to opt out of having your personal information shared with Third Parties for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. Our current practice is to not share Personal Information for monetary or other valuable consideration with Third Parties for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months.
The Right to Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information (SPI)

California Consumers have the right to direct a business that collects SPI about the consumer to limit its use of that SPI to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such goods or services for for other purposes specified in the CCPA and its implementing regulations. Other than the use or disclosure of SPI to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such goods or services, to perform the services set forth in California Civil Code § 1798.140(e)(2), (4), (5), or (8), or as otherwise authorized by regulations adopted pursuant to Civil Code § 1798.185(a)(19)(C), we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information.
