Data Protection & Privacy
Protect Your Online Presence
If you are in business and you don’t have an online presence, then chances are you are being left behind by your competitors. But as the internet becomes more and more sophisticated, there are multiple legal issues that you must contend with to protect your business, your intellectual property, and the data you collect from prospects, customers and clients.
We have been helping online businesses protect themselves since 2015.
Just because a domain name is available for you to purchase doesn’t mean it is available for you to use. Many entrepreneurs get excited in the heat of the moment when they find the perfect domain name without thinking through whether they can actually use that name. We can work with you to make sure your website domain isn’t infringing on someone else’s intellectual property rights.
Domain Name Clearance
Website Recovery & Domain Name Disputes
Although it is not common, it is possible that someone will attempt to either steal your website, or infringe on your intellectual property by using a domain that is deceptively similar to yours. It could be a disgruntled former employee with access to your domain host or a competitor that is trying to copy your branding. However, with a trademark registration in hand, you have multiple options at your disposal to recover a wrongfully taken or misappropriated website domain. We can help you review your options and take appropriate steps to protect your web properties.
Website Terms of Service & Privacy Policies
Many web developers don’t give a second thought to two of the most important pages on your website - a terms of service and a privacy policy. They either use stock templates that they have purchased online, omit them entirely, or worse, they copy and paste the language from other websites. We recognize that not all businesses were created equal, and it is important that these important legal documents are properly tailored to your business. In developing customized terms of service and privacy policies, we will review with you such questions as: Who is your ideal customer or client? Do you market your products or services to children? Where are your customers located geographically? Will visitors to your site post user-generated content? What information are you collecting from visitors and how is it stored? These questions and many more are tantamount to drafting legal language and rock-solid documents that will properly protect your business from lawsuits and regulatory complaints.
Protecting Your Online Reputation
In the world of Yelp, Google Reviews, TrustPilot and countless other online review websites, staying abreast of what your clients and customers are saying about you and your business is incredibly important.
We run an online business just like you and are all too familiar with how negative reviews or vindictive comments from former employees can hurt your business. We will work with you to minimize the fallout from negative comments online and to develop policies and procedures that will help to build positive brand awareness and limit, takedown, or remove improper, unfounded, or inappropriate reviews.
