We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration as a general business practice.

These providers may process personal information on our behalf or independently in accordance with their applicable terms, privacy policies, and legal obligations.

Payment Service Providers

Where applicable, clients may make or arrange payments using third-party payment providers, including:

These providers may process information necessary to facilitate payments, verify transactions, prevent fraud, comply with legal requirements, and provide their respective services.

· tax professionals;

· registered agents;

· intellectual property professionals;

· corporate service providers; and

Where a U.S.-licensed attorney is independently engaged by the client, that attorney may have separate privacy, confidentiality, professional, and legal obligations.

We will share information only to the extent reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose and subject to applicable confidentiality, contractual, and legal requirements.

Government Authorities

We may disclose information when required or permitted by law, including in response to:

Business Transfers

If Americside is involved in a merger, restructuring, acquisition, sale, financing, or transfer of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Because Americside operates from India and provides Services to clients located in the United States and other countries, personal information may be processed, accessed, transferred, stored, or otherwise handled across national borders.

For example, information provided by a U.S. client may be processed in India in connection with providing Services.

Our third-party service providers may also process information in jurisdictions outside India or the jurisdiction in which you are located.

Where applicable law imposes requirements concerning international transfers, we will take reasonable steps to comply with those requirements and implement appropriate safeguards where required.

By submitting information to Americside, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in jurisdictions other than the jurisdiction in which you are located, subject to applicable law.

10. CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS AND LEGAL INFORMATION

Clients may provide confidential business, corporate, or legal information to us as part of an engagement.

We take reasonable measures designed to protect such information and use it primarily for the purposes for which it was provided.

However, submitting information through a general Website contact form or consultation request does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship, attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege, or any other legally privileged relationship.

If you need to send highly confidential documents, please contact us first so that an appropriate communication or document-transfer method can be established.

11. DATA SECURITY

We take reasonable measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Depending on the circumstances, safeguards may include:

· access controls;

· authentication procedures;

· secure communication technologies;

· restricted access to information;

· administrative safeguards;

· technical safeguards; and

· organizational security measures.

We also seek to limit access to personal information to persons who reasonably require access for legitimate business or service-related purposes.

However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.

If we become aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, contain, remediate, and respond to the incident and provide notices where required by applicable law.

12. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

The specific retention period may vary depending on:

· the nature of the information;

· the purpose for which it was collected;

· the nature of the engagement;

· legal or regulatory requirements;

· limitation periods;

· contractual obligations; and

· legitimate business requirements.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal, contractual, professional, and regulatory obligations.

13. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to you, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These may include the right to:

Certain legal exceptions may permit or require us to retain or process information even where a deletion or other request has been made.

14. U.S. STATE PRIVACY RIGHTS

Certain U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that may provide residents with additional privacy rights.

These laws may apply to Americside only where their statutory requirements, thresholds, exemptions, and other applicability provisions are satisfied.

15. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

16. HOW TO EXERCISE PRIVACY RIGHTS

If applicable law provides you with privacy rights, you may submit a privacy request by emailing:

hello@americside.com

Please identify your request as a "Privacy Request."

Depending on the applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, portability, objection, restriction, opt-out, or other applicable rights.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

The verification information requested will be used for verification purposes and will not be used for unrelated purposes except as permitted by applicable law.

We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, subject to lawful extensions, exceptions, and verification requirements.

Where applicable law provides a right to appeal a decision concerning a privacy request, you may submit an appeal by contacting us at:

hello@americside.com

Please identify the communication as a "Privacy Appeal."

We will review the appeal in accordance with applicable law and provide the required response.

You may also use an authorized agent where permitted by applicable law, subject to appropriate verification and authorization requirements.

17. NON-DISCRIMINATION

Where applicable law provides a right to non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights, Americside will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising those rights.

We will not, except where permitted by applicable law:

· deny legally required services;

· charge a different price solely because you exercised a protected privacy right; or

· provide a materially different level of service solely because you exercised a protected privacy right.

18. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our Website and Services are intended primarily for adults and businesses.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate authorization, please contact us at:

hello@americside.com

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances where applicable law requires parental consent, we will take reasonable steps to address the situation.

Where another applicable law establishes a higher age threshold or additional requirements concerning children's data, we will comply with the requirements applicable to the relevant processing activity.

· managing an engagement;

· resolving disputes; and

· complying with legal obligations.

We may send service-related communications necessary to administer an engagement.

Americside does not currently send routine promotional or marketing emails to users as part of its Website operations.

Unsubscribing from any future optional marketing communication, if introduced, will not prevent us from sending necessary service-related, transactional, legal, security, or administrative communications.

20. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND SERVICES

Our Website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third parties.

If you follow a third-party link, you should review that third party's privacy policy before providing personal information.

Third-party services used by Americside, including Google services, PayPal, and Wise, may have their own privacy policies and terms governing their processing of personal information.

21. ANALYTICS AND THIRD-PARTY TECHNOLOGIES

We currently use Google Analytics to understand Website traffic, usage patterns, and Website performance.

We also use Google services for certain business functions, including:

· Google Appointment Scheduling for consultation scheduling;

· Google Drive for document and business information storage.

Payment services may be provided through:

· PayPal; and

These providers may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies, terms, contractual arrangements, and applicable law.

The specific services used by Americside may change over time.

Where applicable law requires consent before certain analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies are used, we will seek the required consent.

22. DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY SIGNALS

Some browsers provide a "Do Not Track" signal or similar privacy preference signals.

Because there is not a single universally applicable standard for responding to every such signal, our Website may not respond to every signal in every circumstance.

Where applicable law requires a particular response to a browser signal, universal opt-out mechanism, or similar technology, we will comply with the applicable legal requirements.

23. LEGAL AND PROFESSIONAL PRIVILEGE

Americside is a legal consultancy operating from India and is not itself a U.S. law firm.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy should be interpreted as creating an attorney-client relationship or attorney-client privilege.

Where a U.S.-licensed attorney is independently engaged by a client, that attorney's own privacy, confidentiality, professional, and legal obligations may apply to information provided to that attorney.

Any separate engagement with a lawyer or law firm may be governed by separate engagement terms, privacy notices, professional obligations, and applicable law.

24. BUSINESS CLIENTS

Our Services are provided to businesses, companies, founders, entrepreneurs, professionals, individuals, and other organizations.

Where you provide us with personal information belonging to your employees, contractors, customers, vendors, directors, shareholders, or other individuals, you represent that you have the appropriate authority or lawful basis to provide that information to us.

You should not provide personal information to us unless it is reasonably necessary for the relevant engagement or otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Where you provide personal information on behalf of another person or organization, you remain responsible for complying with applicable law concerning that disclosure.

25. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR INFORMATION

You are responsible for ensuring that information provided to Americside is accurate, lawful, and appropriate for the purpose for which it is provided.

You should avoid sending unnecessary personal information.

Where possible, you should redact unnecessary sensitive personal information before providing documents to us.

You should also avoid submitting passwords, authentication credentials, payment-card security codes, or other information that is not reasonably necessary for the requested Service.

26. DATA BREACHES AND SECURITY INCIDENTS

Although we take reasonable measures designed to protect personal information, no system can guarantee complete security.

If we determine that a security incident has occurred that triggers a notification obligation under applicable law, we will provide the required notification to affected individuals, regulators, or other authorities within the legally required timeframe.

The nature and timing of any notification will depend on the circumstances and applicable law.

27. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect:

· changes in our Services;

· changes in our Website;

· changes in technology;

· changes in our data practices;

· changes in applicable law; or

· other business developments.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
