I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School. Upon graduation, I went to McDermott, Will & Emery in Chicago and practiced corporate, real estate and tax law. I then joined Godfrey & Kahn where I became a shareholder in the real estate group, head of real estate lending and continued to practice corporate law. At these firms, I received excellent training and represented some of the largest and most innovative clients in the US. After practicing law for 15 years, I founded a real estate development company. I built a multi-million dollar company and developed many significant projects. I sold the company and was recruited for senior positions by two other real estate companies. I continued to hone my legal skills at these companies by negotiating and drafting countless documents for my businesses. The combination of my legal and business experience helps me foster the growth of clients' businesses, solve their problems and guide them through difficult matters.

Privacy Policy

New York

Asked on Dec 5, 2024

Can a website owner change their privacy policy without notifying users?

I recently discovered that a website I have been using for several years has made changes to their privacy policy without notifying users. This concerns me because I value my privacy and want to know how my personal information is being handled. I am wondering if it is legal for a website owner to change their privacy policy without informing users and if there are any regulations or requirements in place to protect users' rights in such situations.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 14, 2024

Website owners can indeed change their privacy policy, but the legality and best practices surrounding such changes are nuanced and depend on several factors: 1. Material Changes: If the changes are substantial, such as altering how personal information is collected, used, or shared, website owners are generally required to notify users and, in some cases, obtain consent. 2. Legal Requirements: Various laws and regulations, such as the CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), mandate specific notification procedures for privacy policy updates. 3. User Expectations: Even when not legally required, notifying users of changes is considered a best practice to maintain transparency and trust. 4. Methods of Notification: Common notification methods include: - Email notifications - Website banners or pop-ups - Blog posts or news updates on the website 5. Timing and Consent: For material changes, it's often advisable to provide advance notice and, in some cases, obtain user consent before the new policy takes effect. While it's concerning that the website you've been using made changes without notification, the legality of their action depends on various factors, including the nature of the changes, applicable laws in your jurisdiction, and the website's previous commitments in their policy. Given the complexity of privacy laws and the potential legal implications of improper policy changes, it would be prudent to have an expert review your specific situation. A legal professional could: 1. Assess the materiality of the changes made 2. Determine if any laws were violated 3. Advise on potential recourse if your rights were infringed 4. Help you understand your options as a user Would you like to discuss this matter further and explore how we can protect your privacy rights in this situation?

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
