Website privacy notice

This notice explains how Cedar International Law Group handles personal information connected with this website and initial inquiries. Effective date: September 22, 2026.

Who this notice covers

Cedar International Law Group, 16501 Ventura Blvd., Ste 400, Encino, CA 91436, is responsible for the information described here. You can contact Cedar about privacy at lea@cedarinternationallawgroup.com or (805) 399-2912.

This notice covers visits to cedar.legal, communications initiated through the site's contact options, consultation scheduling through Cedar's link, and related marketing communications. It does not replace an engagement agreement or address every aspect of information handled during an attorney-client representation. Professional duties and any separate client notices continue to apply.

Information Cedar receives

The information depends on how you interact with Cedar. This website does not offer an on-site intake form and does not collect consultation or payment details through a Cedar-hosted form. Please do not put confidential documents or sensitive matter information in an initial email, scheduling response, WhatsApp message, or website URL.

Information you provide

If you email, call, or otherwise contact Cedar, the firm may receive your name, contact details, organization, the substance of your message, and any information you choose to provide. If you book a consultation through Calendly, Cedar may receive booking details and information you enter there, such as your name, email address, time zone, appointment time, and responses to booking questions. Calendly collects information under its own notice as well.

If WhatsApp is configured and you use it, Cedar may receive your phone number, profile information available to the recipient, message content, and related communication records. WhatsApp and its operator may process information under their own terms and privacy notice.

Information generated when you visit

Hosting and security systems may process your IP address, request time, requested page, browser or device information, referring page, and error or security logs to deliver and protect the website. Your browser may store your light or dark theme choice locally on your device. This preference is not a Cedar account or marketing identifier.

If Cedar enables Umami analytics, the site also records pageviews, website performance, and limited interactions such as link clicks, downloads, form or field actions if present, disclosure changes, media controls, and supported keyboard actions. These records can include page path, browser and device characteristics, approximate country, referrer, and limited event context. Umami's tracking code does not use cookies. The provider may process an IP address and browser information to produce approximate location and anonymous visitor or session measures.

Marketing contact and engagement information

Where marketing email is legally permitted, Cedar may maintain your name, email address, source of contact, mailing preferences, and unsubscribe status in Brevo. Depending on campaign settings, Brevo may record message delivery, opens, link clicks, and unsubscribes. Cedar does not use inquiry or scheduling data for targeted advertising or AI training.

Where the information comes from

Cedar receives information from you; from a person or organization contacting the firm on your behalf; from Calendly when you book through Cedar's scheduling link; from WhatsApp when you choose that channel; from Brevo when you interact with Cedar's marketing email; and from hosting or analytics systems when you visit the website. Cedar does not use an on-site account or intake portal for these interactions.

How Cedar uses information

Cedar uses information to deliver and secure the website, answer inquiries, assess whether it can respond to or consider a potential matter, arrange consultations, communicate about an appointment or requested service, maintain records, comply with legal and professional duties, and protect the firm and others from misuse or fraud.

When enabled, Umami helps Cedar understand website use and performance and improve content and navigation. Cedar's custom analytics events use limited, allowlisted context; they do not send form values, visible labels, URL query strings or hashes, names, email addresses, phone numbers, booking details, consultation details, or document contents. Automatic Umami pageviews exclude query strings and hashes, and its tracker respects a browser's Do Not Track setting.

Cedar may send marketing email, including to people who have made an inquiry, only where applicable law permits. An inquiry or booking alone is not treated as consent when consent is required. Marketing messages are distinct from scheduling confirmations, responses to your request, and communications about a service or matter.

Where EU or UK data protection law applies, Cedar processes information as appropriate to take steps you request before a potential engagement, pursue legitimate interests in responding to inquiries and operating and protecting the website, comply with legal or professional obligations, and act on consent where law requires it. Marketing and analytics require their own lawful basis under applicable law; an inquiry or site visit alone does not supply consent where consent is required. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Service providers and other disclosures

Cedar uses Vercel to host and deliver the website, Calendly to provide the linked scheduling page, Brevo to manage and send marketing email, and email and telecommunications providers to communicate. Umami Cloud receives analytics information only when Cedar configures its website ID. WhatsApp receives information only if that channel is configured and you choose to use it. These providers may process information to provide their services and, where applicable, for their own operations under their notices.

Cedar may disclose information to professional advisers or other parties when reasonably necessary to evaluate an inquiry, protect rights and security, comply with law or a valid legal process, or carry out a representation you separately authorize. Cedar may also disclose information as part of a business transition, subject to applicable legal and professional duties. This notice does not authorize disclosure that would violate duties owed to a client or prospective client.

No sale or cross-context advertising sharing

Cedar does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Disclosures to service providers for hosting, scheduling, communications, analytics, or email delivery serve the purposes described in this notice. Cedar does not use advertising pixels on this website to retarget visitors across other sites.

Website tracking and your choices

Umami analytics is inactive unless Cedar configures it. When active, its tracking code does not set cookies and honors browser Do Not Track. Your browser may still send ordinary requests to Cedar's host, and hosting or security logs may be created even if Do Not Track is enabled. You can also limit website technologies through your browser settings, although some settings may affect site behavior.

Cedar does not track your activity across unrelated websites for advertising. A third-party destination you choose, such as Calendly or WhatsApp, may use its own cookies or other technologies under its own notice. Cedar's website stores a theme preference locally so it can remember your display choice.

Marketing email and unsubscribe requests

You can stop Cedar's marketing email by using the unsubscribe link in a promotional message or by emailing lea@cedarinternationallawgroup.com with your request. Cedar will honor an opt-out within the period required by applicable law and may keep a limited suppression record so it does not send further marketing to that address. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop messages needed to answer your request, manage an appointment, or communicate about an existing professional relationship.

How long information is kept

Cedar keeps information for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was received and for applicable legal, professional, accounting, security, or dispute-resolution obligations. The period depends on the type of information and whether an inquiry becomes a representation. Inquiry and scheduling records may be retained to respond, assess conflicts, document communications, and meet professional duties. Website logs and analytics are kept while useful for security and site improvement. Marketing contact information is kept while Cedar may lawfully send marketing; a limited opt-out record may be retained afterward.

When information is no longer needed, Cedar deletes, de-identifies, or securely disposes of it as appropriate, subject to applicable obligations and practical backup cycles. Third-party providers may retain their own records under their policies. You may contact Cedar for more information about retention relevant to your data.

Security and sensitive information

Cedar uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the information it handles. No internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed to be secure. Do not send confidential documents, passport pages, immigration identification numbers, or sensitive case details through an initial email, Calendly response, WhatsApp message, or another channel Cedar has not confirmed for that purpose. Cedar will provide instructions for a suitable channel if further review is appropriate.

Processing across borders

Cedar is based in the United States. Cedar and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Privacy protections can differ across countries. Where a law governing your information requires a safeguard for a cross-border transfer, Cedar will address that requirement as applicable. Contact Cedar for information about safeguards relevant to your information.

Privacy requests and rights

You may ask Cedar what information it holds about you, request a correction or deletion, or ask about marketing preferences by emailing lea@cedarinternationallawgroup.com or writing to the Encino address above. Cedar may need to verify your identity and may retain or withhold information where law, privilege, confidentiality, or professional duties require or permit it. Cedar will respond as applicable law requires.

Depending on the law that applies to you and to Cedar, additional rights may include access, a portable copy, restriction of or objection to processing, withdrawal of consent, and appeal or complaint rights. California residents may have rights under California privacy law if its conditions are met; this notice does not assume that Cedar meets every statutory business threshold. People in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom may complain to the data protection authority that has jurisdiction over them if those laws apply. Cedar will not discriminate against you for exercising a right provided by applicable law.

Children

This website is intended for people seeking information about legal services and is not directed to children under 13. Cedar does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through this website without appropriate authorization. If you believe a child has sent information through a site contact channel, contact Cedar so the firm can address it consistently with applicable law and professional duties.

Changes to this notice

Cedar may update this notice as its website, service providers, or legal obligations change. A revised notice will be posted here with a new effective date. Cedar will provide additional notice of material changes when law requires it. A change to this notice does not override obligations that apply to information already received.
