Adam J.
I'm a California-licensed attorney with 18+ years of experience helping everyone from Fortune 500 companies and venture-backed startups to individuals navigating real-life legal situations. My career started at Fenwick & West, one of Silicon Valley's top law firms, where I worked alongside names like Google, Airbnb, Kleiner Perkins, and Sequoia Capital. From there I moved in - house at companies like Cloudflare, Autodesk, and Enphase - which gave me a practical, business-minded perspective that I bring to every client, no matter the size of the matter. Today I work with businesses and individuals alike. On the business side, that means commercial contracts, leases, startup corporate work, and serving as a fractional general counsel for companies that need a trusted legal partner without the overhead. On the personal side, I help individuals with employment matters, disputes, demand letters, contract review, and the kind of everyday legal situations where you just need someone knowledgeable in your corner. I'm direct, responsive, and I speak plain English — not legalese. Whether you're a founder closing your first deal or an individual facing a situation you've never navigated before, I'll give you the same level of attention and care.

SaaS Agreement for beta use for anyone
We are a technology SaaS startup in the process of launching our product. We need an agreement that covers our beta period of a few months. We are allowing anyone to use it in this period to market the product. The usage is free of cost. Besides the standard SaaS terms, we want terms to cover for any issues with data loss/protection and anything that can possibly go wrong as we are still in beta and have a few things to fix before we go live in production. Please let me know how much this will cost and when we can have it available. We are a Southern California based company in infancy.

This is a pretty standard document. The biggest concern is just making sure that the document reflects the reality of how customer data will be used. Usually a Privacy Policy is referenced in the terms, and is likely one of the most important documents for a CA startup.

Privacy Policy
California
What laws and regulations govern privacy policies?
I am the owner of an online business and have recently implemented a privacy policy for our customers. I want to ensure that our privacy policy is in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. I am looking for an understanding of what those laws and regulations are, so that I can make sure we are following them correctly.
Russell M.
There are myriad laws that govern privacy. In the U.S. there are the U.S. Privacy Act, HIPPA for health info, GLBA for financial, COPPA protecting children, and now more States are adding privacy laws. In 2023 alone, new consumer privacy laws will be effective in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia. Doing business internationally? The GDPR in the EU is recognized as something of a gold standard for individual privacy. The GDPR created ongoing obligations for maintains and updating privacy implementation. Companies located anywhere, not just the EU, must appoint a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”) if they have to carry out large scale, regular and systematic monitoring of people, for example online behavior tracking or large scale processing of sensitive (special category) data or data relating to crimes and criminal convictions.

Data Processing Agreement
Texas
Is a Data Processing Agreement necessary for my business?
I recently started a small online business where I collect and process personal data from customers, such as their names, addresses, and payment information. I've heard about the importance of protecting customer data and ensuring compliance with data protection laws. I want to make sure I am taking the necessary steps to safeguard this information and maintain legal compliance. I've come across the term 'Data Processing Agreement' but I'm not sure if it is something I need for my business. Can you please advise me on whether a Data Processing Agreement is necessary and what it entails?
Jennifer B.
As an online business collecting customer data in Texas, you're right to be concerned about data protection compliance. Data privacy regulations depend on where your customers are and your volume of business. A Data Processing Agreement is a contract between a data controller (you, as the business owner) and a data processor (any third party that processes personal data on your behalf). It establishes the rights and obligations of each party regarding the processing of personal data. It helps ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws. It also discloses to your customers which companies are processing their data. Whether you need a DPA depends on several factors: Third-party services: If you use services like payment processors, cloud storage providers, email marketing platforms, or website hosting that access your customers' personal data, you likely need DPAs with these service providers. Applicable laws: While Texas doesn't have a comprehensive data privacy law like California's CCPA, it does have the new Texas Data Security and Privacy Act, which likely impacts you if your company earns 25%+ of its revenue from selling consumer data or hits other revenue thresholds. Laws in other states and in the EU also might apply. Industry standards: DPAs have become standard practice for demonstrating data protection compliance, regardless of strict legal requirements. Benefits of Implementing a DPA: Even if not strictly required by law in Texas, DPAs offer significant benefits: (1) clarify responsibilities between your business and service providers; (2) reduce legal liability through contractual protections; (3) increase customer trust by demonstrating a commitment to data protection; (4) preparation for evolving data protection laws; and (5) a potential competitive advantage over businesses without such protections. As data privacy regulations evolve, implementing DPAs now positions your business ahead of compliance requirements while building customer trust through demonstrated commitment to data protection. I use one in my practice. You should speak with an attorney who can provide a detailed DPA analysis based on your industry and customers.

Data Processing Agreement
Texas
What are the key provisions that should be included in a Data Processing Agreement?
I am a business owner and I recently entered into a partnership with another company to provide data processing services. As part of this partnership, we need to draft a Data Processing Agreement to outline the responsibilities and obligations of both parties in relation to data protection and processing. I want to ensure that the agreement covers all the necessary provisions to protect both our companies and the personal data we handle, so I am seeking guidance on the key provisions that should be included in such an agreement.
Ricardo A.
A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is a legally binding document that governs the relationship between the data controller and data processor in compliance with data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Here are the key provisions that should be included: 1. Scope and Purpose • Clearly define the purpose of the data processing and the nature of the data being processed. • Specify the categories of data subjects (customers, employees). • Outline the types of personal data involved. 2. Roles and Responsibilities • Define the roles of the parties (controller vs. processor). • State that the processor will act only on the documented instructions of the controller. 3. Compliance with Laws • A commitment to comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations, such as the GDPR or CCPA. 4. Confidentiality • Ensure that the processor’s personnel are subject to confidentiality obligations. • Prohibit unauthorized access or sharing of data. 5. Security Measures • Require the processor to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data (encryption, access controls). • Include procedures for detecting and responding to data breaches. 6. Sub-processors • Outline conditions for engaging sub-processors ( prior authorization or notification). • Ensure sub-processors comply with the same data protection obligations. 7. Data Subject Rights • Require the processor to assist the controller in responding to data subject requests (access, correction, deletion). 8. Data Transfers • Specify the conditions for transferring personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or other restricted jurisdictions. • Include safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs). 9. Data Breach Notification • Oblige the processor to notify the controller promptly in the event of a personal data breach. • Provide details on how incidents will be managed. 10. Audit Rights • Grant the controller or its appointed auditor the right to inspect and audit the processor’s compliance. 11. Retention and Deletion of Data • Specify the duration of processing. • Require the processor to delete or return personal data after the end of the contract or processing period. 12. Liability and Indemnification • Allocate liability for breaches or non-compliance. • Include indemnification provisions if appropriate. 13. Termination and Consequences • Address the conditions for terminating the DPA. • Define the post-termination obligations (data return or deletion). 14. Jurisdiction and Governing Law • Specify the governing law and jurisdiction for resolving disputes. 15. Annexes or Schedules • Include detailed annexes to provide additional information, such as: • A list of sub-processors. • A description of technical and organizational measures. • A record of processing activities. Legal Review Always consult a legal expert to ensure that the DPA aligns with the applicable laws and the specific needs of the parties involved.

Can a company change its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy without notifying its users?
I recently discovered that a popular online platform I use has made significant changes to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which I was not notified about. These changes seem to give the company more access to my personal data and reduce my rights as a user. I'm concerned about the implications of these changes and whether the company is allowed to make such modifications without informing its users in advance.
Jennifer B.
Online platforms can modify their terms of service and privacy policies without advance notice if: (1) Their terms explicitly allow such changes, and (2) Users continue using the platform after changes are made. However, modifications may still be challenged if they are unconscionable or violate privacy laws, particularly if they significantly impact user rights or data protection. While platforms may have the right to make unannounced changes, the enforceability depends on the specific modifications and their compliance with applicable regulations.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
