Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the website https://shlegal.snowtory.com (the "Site"), operated by Shanghai Hengyé Law Firm (the "Firm", "we", "us"). The Site is hosted on servers located in the United States. Accordingly, U.S. federal law and applicable U.S. state privacy laws — including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA") — apply to use of the Site. We also recognize the rights of visitors located in the European Union and the United Kingdom under the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), in mainland China under the Personal Information Protection Law ("PIPL"), and in the Republic of Korea under the Personal Information Protection Act ("PIPA").

2. Information We Collect

The Site is a static informational publication and does not actively collect personally identifiable information by default. You may submit personal information to us only in the following circumstances:

· You voluntarily contact the Firm through the email addresses published on the Site (e.g., wuyan@hengyelawfirm.com, zjd@hengyelawfirm.com);

· You submit a résumé or application materials through the Careers section.

In addition, our hosting provider may retain standard server logs (including IP address, timestamp, requested URL, and user-agent string) for security auditing and troubleshooting, typically for no more than 90 days.

3. How We Use Information

We use information you voluntarily provide solely to: (i) respond to your inquiry or application; (ii) evaluate and, where appropriate, establish a professional engagement; and (iii) comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may disclose information only: (i) with your express consent; (ii) to comply with valid legal process or governmental request; or (iii) to protect the rights and property of the Firm or its clients.

5. Data Retention and Security

Email correspondence and application materials are retained until the business purpose is fulfilled and any statutory retention period expires, after which they are deleted. We employ industry-standard technical and organizational measures to safeguard information; however, no internet transmission can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

6. Cookies

The Site uses a small number of strictly necessary cookies to keep the Site functional (for example, your language preference and your choice on our cookie banner).

We use Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC) to understand aggregated traffic and page usage. Processing is also subject to Google’s policies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings. We do not use advertising cookies for cross-site personalized targeting.

7. Your CCPA / CPRA Rights

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the CCPA / CPRA:

· Right to know what categories of personal information we have collected, used, or disclosed in the preceding 12 months;

· Right to delete personal information we have collected (subject to statutory exceptions);

· Right to correct inaccurate personal information;

· Right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information — we do not sell or share personal information, so no opt-out is required;

· Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information;

· Right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights.
