Novus Law, LLC, and all subsidiaries and affiliates (“Novus Law”), respects the
privacy of our clients, employees, and business partners and are committed to
protecting personal data collected by the company. Due to the global nature of
Novus Law’s business, transfers of Personal Data, defined below, across national
boundaries may occur. As a result, Novus Law has adopted this Safe Harbor
Privacy Policy* (“Policy”) and adheres to the Safe Harbor Principles published
by the United States Department of Commerce, in agreement with the European
Commission, with respect to Personal Data transferred from the European Union
to the United States.
For the purposes of this Policy, as defined by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, “personal information” means information that information which:
- is transferred from the European Union to the United States;
- is recorded in any form;
- is about, or pertains to, a specific individual or can be linked to that individual.
Notice and Choice
Novus Law will inform individuals about the purposes for which we collect and use
personal data about them, how to contact us, the types of non-agent third parties
with whom we may share personal data, and any ways that individuals may limit the
use and sharing of such data. This notice will be provided when individuals are
first asked to provide personal data or as soon thereafter as is practicable.
Novus Law, in connection with rendering legal support services, receives personal
data of its clients residing in the EU countries. All data received by Novus Law
is only in its capacity and role as a legal support services provider and under the
direction of our clients. Novus Law employees or authorized personnel, are given
access to personal data only on a need-to-know, or project management basis.
Novus Law will offer an individual the opportunity to choose (opt out) whether
personal data are (a) shared with a non-agent third party or (b) used for a purpose
other than that for which the data were originally collected or subsequently
authorized by the individual. For sensitive personal data, Novus Law will give
an individual an affirmative or explicit (opt in) choice if the information is to
be disclosed to a third party or used for a purpose other than those for which it
was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual.
Disclosures and Transfers
Novus Law will only transfer personal data to an agent where the agent has provided
assurances that the agent provides at least the same level of privacy protection as
is required by these privacy principles. Where Novus Law has knowledge that an agent
is using or sharing personal data in a way that is contrary to these principles, we
will take reasonable steps to prevent or stop such processing.
Novus Law will only transfer personal data to a non-agent third party where consistent
with the notice provided to the individuals who are the subject of the data and any
consent that those individuals have given.
Access, Security and Data Integrity
Upon receipt of a written request, Novus Law will provide identifiable persons from
whom we collect personal data reasonable access to their personal data.
Additionally, Novus Law will take reasonable steps to allow identifiable persons to
review the personal data we collected for purposes of correcting the information.
Novus Law will employ reasonable safeguards to protect personal data in its possession
from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
Novus Law will take reasonable steps to assure that the information, which is transferred
from the EU to the US, is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current.
Novus Law will not process personal data in a way that is incompatible with the purposes
for which it has been collected.
Enforcement
Novus Law will conduct compliance audits of its relevant privacy practices to verify
adherence to this Policy and the U.S. Department of Commerce Safe Harbor Principles.
Any employee that Novus Law determines is in violation of this Policy will be subject
to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
