USCIS and Relevant Government Agencies: We submit the necessary End-Client/Petitioner Information to USCIS and potentially other required government bodies (e.g., Department of State, Department of Labor) as an integral part of filing petitions and providing representation.

Referral Sources: As mentioned above, we may share only the client’s name and email address with the referring party for acknowledgment purposes. We do not share sensitive petition details with referral sources.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, respond to a government request, or comply with regulatory obligations (including Arizona State Bar ABS rules).

Crucially, we treat all End-Client/Petitioner information related to immigration matters with the highest level of confidentiality, consistent with our professional responsibilities, and do not share it except as necessary for the immigration process itself or as legally compelled.
5. Cookies, Tracking Technologies, and Online Advertising
We use cookies and technologies like the Meta Pixel and Google Ads tags for essential website function, performance analysis (via Google Analytics), and advertising purposes. This includes:
Remembering your preferences.
Understanding how you interact with our website.
Measuring the success of our advertising campaigns.
Delivering targeted ads to you on Meta and Google platforms based on your previous visits to our site (remarketing) or based on audience lists we create (Custom Audiences).
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. To learn more about interest-based advertising and opt-out options, visit:
Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): http://optout.networkadvertising.org/
Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): http://optout.aboutads.info/
Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
Meta Ad Preferences: https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/
Opting out of interest-based advertising does not stop all ads, but makes them less relevant to your interests.
6. Data Security
We implement robust administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the personal information we handle. This includes using encrypted systems, implementing strict access controls, utilizing secure servers, and training our personnel on data privacy and security best practices. Given the sensitivity of the immigration data we process, we take heightened precautions to safeguard it against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services, resolving disputes, establishing legal defenses, conducting audits, pursuing legitimate business purposes, enforcing our agreements, and complying with applicable laws. Specifically for client petition files, we retain this data for up to one (1) year after the petition is made (filed or potentially concluded), unless a longer retention period is required by law, applicable Arizona State Bar rules for ABS record-keeping, or necessary for ongoing legal matters or appeals. Prospect information may be retained for a shorter period consistent with our marketing cycles unless they become clients.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location and applicable laws (e.g., GDPR for residents of the EEA/UK, CCPA/CPRA for California residents), you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:
The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
The right to correct inaccurate personal information.
The right to request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and ethical exceptions (e.g., we cannot delete data required for active cases or mandated record-keeping).
The right to opt-out of marketing communications (you can use the “unsubscribe” link in emails or contact us directly).
The right to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
The right to data portability (receiving your data in a usable format).
The right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (as defined under laws like CCPA/CPRA – note that our use of advertising cookies/pixels may fall under “sharing”).
To exercise any applicable rights, please contact Joshua Sardinha using the details in Section 12. We will respond to verifiable requests in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our services are generally not directed to individuals under the age of 18 acting independently, although we necessarily process information about children as beneficiaries or dependents in family-based immigration petitions provided by their parents or legal guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 16 without parental consent. If we learn we have inadvertently collected such information without necessary consent, we will promptly delete it.
10. International Data Transfers
We operate in the United States, and our servers are located here. As we serve clients from around the globe, personal information (including sensitive petition data) will be transferred to and processed in the United States. When transferring data from regions with specific data protection laws (like the European Economic Area, UK, Switzerland), we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms, such as the necessity of the transfer for the performance of a contract (our service agreement with you) or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (filing petitions with U.S. authorities), or potentially standard contractual clauses where applicable. By engaging our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to the U.S. for the purposes outlined in this policy.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, services, or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy on our website with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy regularly.
