Privacy Policy

30+ years of combined legal cannabis business experience

Updated January 1, 2021

Manzuri Law (“we” or “us”) respects the sensitive nature of any Personal Information you provide to us. We have created this Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate our commitment to the privacy of clients and of their employees, customers, or other individuals whose Personal Information is provided to us. This Privacy Policy describes our information collection, storage and disclosure practices in regard to the services and advice that Manzuri Law provides for clients (“client(s),” “you,” or “your”), including the legal services we provide to our clients (“Services”). This Privacy Policy also describes the choices clients have regarding how Personal Information is collected and used by us and third parties who provide services for us, as well as rights that may be conferred by applicable laws.

If you are a resident of the State of California or have or control Personal Information of California residents, you should consult the sections of this policy pertaining to the “California Privacy Rights” including rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which came into effect on January 1, 2020.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Please review the Privacy Policy periodically for changes. If we make material changes, we will endeavor to provide notice ahead of such changes, such as by email or through a notice.

Because this Privacy Policy contains legal obligations we encourage you to review this Privacy Policy carefully. If you have any questions concerning this Privacy Policy or our information collection, storage, and disclosure practices, please contact us at info@manzurilaw.com or mail us at Manzuri Law, 8961 W. Sunset Boulevard, Penthouse, West Hollywood, California 90069.

Children Under the Age of 16

No one under age 16 may provide any information to or on our website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you are under 16, do not use or provide any information on our website or through any of its features, register on the website, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or user name you may use.

If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 16, please contact us at info@manzurilaw.com.

Information We Collect

“Personal Information” means any information that identifies, or could reasonably be used to identify, a living individual, either on its own or together with other information. Most of the Personal Information we collect about individuals is provided to us either by the individuals themselves or by clients who have or control Personal Information about individuals, such as the employees of a business. It is your obligation to provide such individuals with any required notices and to obtain any necessary consents from the individuals before providing us with their Personal Information.

We collect and process Personal Information about individuals to (i) provide the Services for our clients; (ii) provide answers to inquiries or questions; (iii) maintain regular communication with clients and others as may be necessary to inform them of updates and other information regarding us and our Services; (iv) provide information to third parties with your consent; and (v) to fulfill our legal and professional obligations.

How and When Personal Information Is Shared With Other Parties

We do not sell, trade or license Personal Information about our clients or any individuals for marketing purposes. We do, however, work with a number of trusted partners who perform vital functions as part of our operations, including managing client support, facilitating marketing communications by e-mail and post, and other functions. We do not share Personal Information unless it is necessary to fulfill our responsibilities, including providing information or Services to clients.

Additional Sharing of Information

We may engage third parties to help us carry out certain other internal functions such as account processing, client services, or other data collection relevant to our business. Personal Information is shared with these third parties only to the extent necessary for us to process the transactions you initiate or perform other specific Services. Our partners are legally required to keep Personal Information private and secure.

We may share Personal Information with law enforcement or other government agencies as required by law or for the purposes of limiting fraud. We reserve the right to disclose Personal Information when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process. Subject to our legal and ethical obligations, including the obligation to preserve client confidentiality and attorney-client privileged communications, we further reserve the right to disclose any Personal Information that we believe, in good faith, appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend against any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies, to protect the security or integrity of the Services, or to protect the rights, property or personal safety of us, our clients or others.

We will not share Personal Information if such sharing is prohibited by applicable privacy and data protection laws, including, without limitation, the CCPA.

We may also send out communications for verification purposes to comply with the CCPA.

Clients’ Rights

Opting Out of Communications

As described above, we may use the Personal Information we collect from clients to send you newsletters or other communications from us.

California Privacy Rights

The following section pertains to the rights of individuals or households in California (“California consumers”).

Civil Code Section 1798.83

Under certain circumstances, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 states that, upon receipt of a request by a California consumer, a business may be required to provide detailed information regarding how that business has shared that customer’s Personal Information with third parties for direct marketing purposes. However, the foregoing does not apply to businesses like ours that do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for direct marketing purposes without prior approval or give customers a free mechanism to opt out of having their Personal Information disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.

Rights under the CCPA

As of January 1, 2020, the CCPA (California Civil Code Section 1798.100 et seq.) provides California consumers with additional rights regarding Personal Information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly with a particular consumer or household. The categories of Personal Information are generally described above but differ for individual consumers depending on the Services used by such consumers. Under the CCPA, qualifying California consumers may have the following rights:

Right to Know and Right to Delete.

A California consumer has the right to request that we disclose what Personal Information we collect, use, disclose and sell. A California consumer also has the right to submit requests to delete Personal Information.

When we receive a request to know or delete from a California consumer, we will confirm receipt of the request within 10 business days and provide information about how we will process the request, including our verification process. We will respond to such requests within 45 days.

Our obligation to delete Personal Information is not required regarding information necessary, among other things: (1) to provide Services to our clients; (2) to detect and resolve issues related to security or functionality; (3) to comply with legal obligations, including our responsibilities under ethical and other rules, obligations and privileges relating to the legal profession; (4) to exercise free speech or to ensure another’s exercise of free speech; or (5) for internal purposes that a consumer might expect.

Right for Disclosure of Information.

A California consumer may also submit requests that we disclose specific types or categories of Personal Information that we collect. Under certain circumstances, we will not provide such information, including where the disclosure creates a substantial, articulable and unreasonable risk to the security of that Personal Information, clients’ accounts of information, or the security of our systems or networks. We also will not disclose California consumers’ social security numbers, driver’s license numbers or other government-issued identification numbers, financial account numbers, any health insurance or medical identification numbers, or account passwords and security questions and answers. Our obligations to disclose information are also subject to legal and ethical restrictions placed on us, including our duty to protect client information from disclosure, the attorney-client privilege, or restrictions placed by legal or court authority. In the event that we receive requests from a California consumer who has a relationship with a client (for example, from an employee or customer of a client), we will inform the client.

Submitting Requests

If you are a California consumer and would like to make any requests under the CCPA, please direct them as follows:

Mailing Address:
Manzuri Law 8961 W. Sunset Boulevard, Penthouse West Hollywood, California 90069

E-mail Address: info@manzurilaw.com
Telephone Number: (310) 912-2960

Verifying Requests

We may ask individuals making requests to provide additional information for identity verification purposes.

California Do Not Track Disclosures

Although some browsers currently offer a “do not track (‘DNT’) option,” no common industry standard for DNT exists. We therefore may not currently commit to responding to browsers’ DNT signals.

Personal Information Retention

We retain the Personal Information we receive as described in this Privacy Policy for as long as clients use our Services or as necessary to fulfill the purpose(s) for which it was collected, provide our Services, resolve disputes, establish legal defenses, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, enforce our agreements, and comply with applicable laws and are ethical and legal obligations.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

Your Responsibilities

We ask that you keep the Personal Information that you provide to us current and that you correct any information you have provided us by contacting us at info@manzurilaw.com.
