Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Nossaman LLP values the privacy of its website users. We do not take the responsibility of protecting your personal information lightly. Through this policy, we intend to be transparent about how your information may be collected, used and secured. 

We will not use, sell, or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. 

Types of Information Collected and How They’re Used

Nossaman only collects information necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. The type of information we collect will depend upon the nature of your relationship with us (e.g., whether you are a client, prospective client, candidate, or visitor to our website), the purpose of our interaction with you, and any legal and/or regulatory obligations.

Through our website, Nossaman collects information in two ways: (1) automatically and (2) directly from a website user. 

Information Collected Automatically

When you access our website, Nossaman collects information about your connected devices (such as a computer, mobile phone and tablet) and how you navigate through our webpages. This type of information includes:

  • IP address, domain information, browser type and geographic location (as associated with your IP address). Collecting this information allows us to become more familiar with who visits our website, how often they visit and what webpages they visit.
  • A "cookie" is a piece of data stored on the user's hard drive, containing information about the user. We may use cookies on our website, but none of them contain any personally identifiable information. Cookies can help us provide information which is targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website. Most cookies are "session cookies," meaning that they are automatically deleted at the end of a session. We may also use web beacons or pixel tags to compile tracking information related to our email marketing. 
    • You may choose not to accept cookies by setting your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is set. To change your Cookie preferences or disable cookies altogether, refer to https://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html for information on commonly used browsers. If you choose to refuse cookies, however, you may not be able to use all features of this site. 

Information Submitted Directly by a Website User

Nossaman provides you the opportunity to agree or decline to give your personal information. We will inform you of the purpose for the collection and do not intend to transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent, except under the limited conditions described in the “How We Share Information” section below. If you choose to provide us with your personal information, we may transfer that information within our organization or to a third-party service provider as necessary.

Nossaman website users will generally submit personal information through:

  • Website forms (such as our Contact Us, Subscribe and event registration forms). This information is used to either provide a service or communicate with our website users. The information submitted by you may include, but is not limited to:
    • First and last name
    • Company, home, postal or other physical address
    • Telephone number
    • Email address
    • Company name
    • Job title, position or occupation
    • Industry
    • Personal interests
    • Any other information needed to provide a service you requested
    • By using these forms you also agree to our Terms & Conditions.
  • Direct Email. Nossaman has direct email links to its legal professionals and staff on its website. Although this information is not sent through the website, it can be retained and used to help process your request. Be advised, sending emails over the internet may not be secure and should not contain sensitive or confidential information unless the messages are adequately encrypted. No attorney-client relationship is created through your use of this website or sending an email to a Nossaman attorney. Unsolicited information sent to Nossaman by individuals who are not clients of the firm is not subject to any duty of confidentiality. Nossaman and you must agree that there is an attorney-client relationship. Until such a relationship exists, Nossaman will assume that any information you send to us does not meet the standard of attorney-client privilege.

How We Share Information

All data on this website, apart from event/webinar payments made through our payment processing provider, are housed in a third-party-hosted SQL database with cloud storage. Access to this database is limited to Nossaman and its third-party website development team. We do not have access to the financial information used in our payment processing provider.

We do not sell the information you submit through forms on our website and only share this information, with your consent, with third-party providers for website analytics or when required to complete a service you have requested.

We will disclose your personal information, if required to do so by law, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or our website.

How Your Information is Secured and Stored

Nossaman uses administrative, technical and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. And while we have taken reasonable measures to protect your information, please be aware that despite our efforts no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no data transmission method can be guaranteed against an unauthorized intrusion. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to intrusion or misuse and as a result we cannot guarantee the complete security of your personal information. We process and store data in the United States and in other locations for back-up and recovery purposes. If you live outside of the United States, you understand and agree that we may transfer your information, including personal information, within the United States. Our Website is subject to U.S. laws, which may not afford the same level of protection as those in your country.

Consumers’ Rights in California

This policy does not apply to our current and former partners and employees and their family members, dependents, and beneficiaries; if you are a California resident who is a current or former partner or employee of the Firm or a family member, dependent, or beneficiary of any of our current or former partners or employees, you may request access to our Employee Privacy Policy by sending an email to info@nossaman.com.

Additional Rights Under the CCPA/CPRA

The CCPA grants the following rights to all California residents who are natural persons:

  • Right to Know: you have the right to know what personal information Nossaman has collected, used, disclosed or sold in the last 12 months, both as to the categories and specific pieces of personal information.
  • Right to Delete: you have the right to request deletion of personal information held by Nossaman and, by extension, a service provider used by Nossaman.
  • Right to Limit; you have the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information collected by Nossaman as defined by the CCPA.
  • Right to Correct: you have the right to request that we correct inaccurate information that we maintain about you, to the extent an inaccuracy exists;
  • Right to Opt-Out: California residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information. Nossaman does not sell your personal information (as ‘sell’ is defined in CCPA) and therefore does not provide an opt-out option.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: you have the right to non-discrimination in terms of price or service when a consumer exercises a privacy right under CCPA.

Exercising Your Rights Under the CCPA/CPRA

To exercise your right to know, correct, limit and delete information California residents must submit a verifiable request. You can submit a request in three different ways:

  • By calling toll-free 844.529.1352
  • By emailing info@nossaman.com
  • By submitting an Online Form

As a resident of California, you may make a personal information request twice in a 12-month period. Nossaman will respond within 10 days to confirm receipt of the request and provide information on how the request will be verified and processed. Nossaman will provide a response to the request within 45 days of the verifiable consumer request.

Nossaman will not disclose, in response to a Request to Know, your Social Security number, driver’s license number or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, any health insurance or medical identification number, account password, security questions and answers, or unique biometric data generated from measurements or technical analysis of human characteristics. Nossaman shall, however, inform you with sufficient particularity if we have collected this type of information.
