Privacy Policy

Atlantic Bridge Law, operated by attorney Ali Saghaei (admitted in California and Germany), Los Angeles, California, United States, is the controller for personal data processed through this website. You can reach us through the contact form on this site.

Contact form: your name, email address, your message, and — if you choose to provide them — a phone number, preferred language, and how you heard about us. You decide what to include; please do not include sensitive case details before we have agreed to represent you.

Technical logs: like virtually every website, our hosting infrastructure records short-lived technical logs (such as IP address, browser type, and requested pages) for security and to keep the site running. We do not use these to identify visitors.

This marketing site sets no advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies. The separate, login-protected client portal uses strictly necessary session cookies — only after you log in as a client.

We use the information you send to respond to your inquiry, run the conflict-of-interest check every law firm must perform, and schedule your consultation. Under the GDPR, this processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) (steps prior to entering into a contract, taken at your request) and Article 6(1)(f) (our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries and operating securely).

We are a U.S. law firm: data you send us is processed in the United States. If you contact us from the European Union, you are asking us to take pre-contractual steps at your request across borders (GDPR Article 49(1)(b)). Email is not an encrypted medium end-to-end — for sensitive matters, we move communication into the secure client portal after engagement.

Your inquiry is read by the attorney and our small team. We use established service providers to operate the site and deliver email (hosting and mail infrastructure); they process data on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers.

Information clients share with us in the course of representation is protected by attorney–client confidentiality, which is stricter than any privacy law.

Inquiries are kept as long as needed to respond and to maintain our conflict-check records — a professional obligation that protects you and other clients. Beyond that, we delete personal data when it is no longer needed, unless a legal retention duty applies.

If you are in the EU/EEA, the GDPR gives you the right to access, rectify, and erase your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, to data portability, and to complain to a supervisory authority.

If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you rights to know, delete, and correct personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. We do not sell or share personal information within the meaning of the CCPA.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the contact form and tell us what you would like us to do.

Contacting us through this website does not create an attorney–client relationship. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information until we have confirmed the engagement in writing.

We will update this policy when the site's data practices change (for example, if we ever introduce analytics) and adjust the date above. The current version always lives on this page.
