The  public  is  beginning  to  understand the  risks  online, and with Apps, but did  you  know that many of the  disclosures regarding the risks are sometimes contained  in vague legal language or buried in the details of agreements, such as in a  web hosting agreement, a  third party  vendor,  social  media,  or  application  developer agreement? Unless you have performed  due  diligence,  you and  your company  may be liable.  We  offer  the  solutions  to  reduce  liability, providing peace  of  mind.

Be sure that your business  and website  Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, disclaimers, products, applications, and licensing agreements provide the protection that  your business  needs. Help insulate your company from your greatest risks…third party and  consumer protection liability.

Technology law  changes as often as technology itself. If you have a website or social  media presence, then these changes affect you and your business. If your business  already has  a website, we  recommend  that  you  invest in a Website Audit, to be sure that your company is compliant with current state, federal and international laws. We tailor the  program to meet your  industry-specific needs. We may analyze the following: Terms of Use and  Privacy Policy; Intellectual Property; Content Licensing and Software Agreements; Digital Rights Management;  Email Policy; Linking Policy; Advertising Policy; Social Media Policy:  Metatag Usage; Cookies, Beacons, and other Advertising tracking tools; Artificial  Intelligence; Copyright Protection and Enforcements; Trademark  Protection and Enforcement; Privacy Issues; Data Collection Process; Third Party Providers; and  compliance with specific California,  federal, and  international laws and regulations including  COPPA,  CAN-SPAM, FTC, HIPAA,  EU GDPR,  CFAA,  Exports, and The Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

PRIVACY COMPLIANCE PROGRAM:

 The  Documents, Policies, and Processes You Need,  

Along  With  Peace  of  Mind.  

Darlene  has successfully  addressed  the  legal,  compliance, and business strategic goals for  Fortune  500 companies, and  startups  that  have  eventually  gone  public.  Make sure you and your business are protected. 

The public is finally more  aware of some of the concerns with Privacy and Data Security. The  greatest risks are sometimes cleverly buried in the details of a web hosting  agreement,  terms  of  use, or  third party  vendor,  social  media,  or applications  developer agreement. The risks may not  even be in the  fine  print,  but  instead hidden in the data collection process or software. And it isn’t  just the federal laws and regulations that should concern you, many states and the EU  have passed strict  privacy laws, with California leading the way  in  the U.S.  These  laws  and  regulations  are  only  as  good  as  the enforcement  of  these  laws,  and  today  there  is a growing  concern  for  more  accountability.

Our years of firsthand  experience  in Silicon  Valley enables us to deliver the knowledge base that helps reduce liability  and provides peace of mind. Darlene  was among the first attorneys to work on privacy issues with Fortune  500  companies over twenty  years  ago. She continues to work closely  with the top technology, legal, and compliance  experts who have  helped  draft key  legislation, including one of the first online  privacy regulations, the Children’s  Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). 

Our  initial analysis will outline any potential liability issues and provide  recommendations  and counsel  on  best  practices.  Our  final  analysis  provides  the  tools,  solutions,  and  resources  to  help  protect  you  and  your business    in  the  future.  You  have  now  joined  a  community  that  has  access  to updates,  as  technology  and  privacy  issues  change.  

We tailor the program to meet your company and  industry-specific needs,  delivering  the documents, policies, and processes to help ensure that you meet  or exceed the current compliance requirements and best practices.
