Privacy Policy
New York
Does my Privacy Policy need to address the CCPA?
I have a website and we have customers from across the US.
Ema T.
If you are planning to operate in California, USA it is recomended to address the CCPA. California is the first state in the US to enact a state statute addressing the privacy rights of the state residents (but it is estimated that other states will follow). The CCPA provides specific rights for users located in CA, those include the right to know what personal data is being collected, whether this data is disclosed or sold to any 3rd party, (and to disagree to the sale), the right to access their personal data, request a deletion of their information, and more. These rights should be addressed in your privacy policy and contain additional sections and information laid out for CA residents. Any information provided as an answer to these questions does not constitute legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship between the attorney and anyone in relation to any information provided under the Q & A section of this website.

What is a breach of contract? I have signed an EMR software license.
I am a nurse practitioner and I have signed a contact with a company to use their software (EMR) for my Upcoming clinic. Even though the clinic still awaiting credentialing, i have been paying monthly fees. During recent implementation process, i had a conflict with the salesman and he informed me that i have signed a 5 year contract and i am subject to deal with collection agency. I have stoped the process and not trusting to work with this company. The company states that i have a obligation to pay for 5 years if i cancel the contact or to continue to work with them. What should i do?
Forest H.
Your options in a long term services contract will depend heavily on the contract you signed. Rarely are there no options to end a contract early but it would require reviewing the contract and potentially negotiating with the company.

SaaS agreement and customizations?
I recently started a software as a service (SaaS) business and I am looking for legal advice related to SaaS agreements and customizations. I need to understand what is legally required in order to customize my SaaS offering for my customers and ensure that I am in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. I am also looking for advice on how to structure my SaaS agreement to ensure that my customers are adequately protected.
Thomas L.
SaaS agreements are not specifically regulated by law. Thus the principal issue is financial responsibility for outages, loss of data, and failure to meet transaction rate requirements.

Privacy Policy
New York
Does my Privacy Policy need to address the GDPR?
Same as the CCPA. Should I worry about GDPR given we're a US business?
Ema T.
If you are planning to operate in Europe you will need to address the GDPR. The GDPR is a EU regulation that addresses data protection and privacy of EU residents. It provides specific rights for users located in the EU. These rights should be addressed in your privacy policy and contain additional sections and information laid out for EU residents.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI 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.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
