Data Privacy

Data privacy is where the most owners are exposed. There is no national privacy law in the United States. Each state has been writing its own, and the rules are different everywhere. If your business has a website or an app, you are already subject to those laws whether you know it or not. Most owners do not.

Aaron’s job is to figure out what a business is doing right, what it is doing wrong, and build a plan to stay compliant as it grows: what you collect, where it goes, which vendors and tools touch it, and whether the privacy policy on your site describes any of that.

It starts with a first meeting. You describe your work and the goals you have, and Aaron describes how he may be able to help. Then he tells you whether he is the right fit for the job, and you decide if you would like to move forward.

If it is a fit and you want to move forward, an engagement letter sets out how you will work together: the scope of the legal services and how it is billed, flat fee, retainer, or hourly, whichever fits the work.

Data types collected, jurisdictions involved, and vendor agreements to review.
