PARALLAX LAW PLLC
PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: September 28, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Parallax Law PLLC (“Parallax,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit parallaxlaw.ai and its subdomains (the “Website”) or use our online client applications, including our company formation portal, our SAFE financing application, and any other portal or tool we make available (the “Client Platform” and, together with the Website, the “Services”). It also explains the choices and rights you may have. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in our Terms of Use.
Scope and Our Professional Obligations.
(a)Who This Policy Covers. This Privacy Policy applies to visitors to the Website, prospective clients, clients and their personnel, and the co-founders, directors, officers, stockholders, investors, and other individuals whose information is submitted to the Client Platform in connection with a matter (each, a “Participant”).
(b)Attorney-Client Confidentiality. As lawyers, we owe clients a duty of confidentiality under the rules of professional conduct, and some client information is also protected by the attorney-client privilege. Those duties apply in addition to this Privacy Policy. Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits them, and where they impose stricter requirements, we follow them. If you are a client, your Engagement Letter may also contain terms about your information.
(c)Controller. Parallax is responsible for the personal information described in this Privacy Policy and is the “controller” for purposes of the privacy laws that apply to it. When a client company invites a Participant to the Client Platform, the client company may also be responsible for that Participant’s information under its own privacy notice.
Information We Collect.
(a)Information You Provide. We collect information you provide directly, including:
(i)contact and inquiry information, such as your name, business and personal email addresses, telephone number, company, title, and the content of your consultation request or other message;
(ii)engagement information, such as the details you confirm when you review and accept an Engagement Letter, the package and fees you select, and conflict-check information about your company, its owners, and the other parties to your matter;
(iii)company information, such as proposed and alternative company names, entity type, state of formation, business address, business description, fiscal year, authorized shares, par value, registered agent, and the states where the company operates;
(iv)founder, director, officer, and stockholder information, such as full legal name, residential or mailing address, email address, telephone number, citizenship and country of residence, role in the company, ownership percentage, share allocation, vesting terms, and information needed to prepare Section 83(b) elections and other equity documents;
(v)investor information, such as legal name, investor type, jurisdiction of organization or residence, address, notice email, signatory name, title, and email, investment amount, valuation cap and other SAFE terms, pro rata rights, expected wire date, and confirmation of funding;
(vi)documents and communications, such as documents you upload, comments and questions you submit, your responses to our questions, and electronic signatures; and
(vii)payment information, such as billing contact details and transaction records. Payment card details are collected and processed directly by our payment processor, and we do not receive or store your full card number.
(b)Government Identifiers. We do not ask you to enter Social Security numbers or other government identification numbers into the Client Platform. If a filing you engage us to make requires one, such as an application for an employer identification number, we will tell you how to provide it securely and will use it only for that filing.
(c)Information Collected Automatically. When you use the Services, we and our service providers automatically collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and the dates and times of your visits. In the Client Platform, we also keep a record of sign-in events and of actions taken in a matter, such as who submitted information, accepted an Engagement Letter, approved a document, or signed, so that we can maintain an accurate and secure record of each matter. When you accept an Engagement Letter or other agreement electronically, we record your name, email address, IP address, device information, the date and time, and a digital fingerprint of the document version you accepted.
(d)Information From Others. We receive information about you from other sources, including: (i) a client or Participant who invites you to the Client Platform or provides your information for a matter; (ii) sign-in providers such as Google, which share your name, email address, and account identifier when you choose to sign in with them; (iii) our payment processor and e-signature providers, which confirm payments and signature status; (iv) government agencies, registered agents, and public records, such as state corporate filings; and (v) referral sources and professional networks.
(e)Information About Others. If you provide information about another person, such as a co-founder, director, or investor, you are responsible for having the authority to do so and for giving that person any notice that applicable law requires. You may direct that person to this Privacy Policy.
How We Use Information.
We use personal information to:
(a)respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, and evaluate potential engagements, including running conflict-of-interest checks;
(b)provide legal services, including preparing, reviewing, and delivering documents, filings, consents, and elections;
(c)operate the Client Platform, including verifying your identity, sending access links, collecting information from Participants, routing documents for electronic signature, and sending reminders about deadlines and outstanding tasks;
(d)process payments, issue invoices, and maintain financial records;
(e)communicate with you about your matter, your account, and changes to the Services;
(f)secure the Services, detect and prevent fraud and unauthorized access, and maintain audit records;
(g)maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Services, including by analyzing aggregated or de-identified usage information;
(h)send newsletters and information about our services, where permitted by law, subject to your right to opt out;
(i)comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations, including record-keeping and conflict-checking obligations; and
(j)establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Artificial Intelligence Processing.
(a)How We Use AI. We use artificial intelligence tools, including large language models provided by third parties such as Anthropic, to help our attorneys review, organize, summarize, compare, and draft documents and information, and to suggest responses and next steps. Information you submit through the Services, including documents and matter information, may be processed by these tools for those purposes.
(b)Safeguards. We access AI models under commercial terms that prohibit the provider from using the content we submit to train its models and that limit how long the provider may retain that content. We do not sell your information to AI providers or permit them to use it for their own purposes.
(c)Human Oversight. In client matters, a Parallax attorney reviews AI-assisted work and remains responsible for it. We do not use AI to make decisions about you that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects without human involvement.
How We Disclose Information.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose personal information only as follows:
(a)Service Providers. We disclose information to vendors that process it on our behalf under contractual confidentiality and data protection obligations. These include providers of cloud hosting and databases (such as Supabase and its underlying cloud infrastructure), document storage and productivity tools (such as Microsoft 365), sign-in services (such as Google), payment processing (such as Stripe), electronic signature (such as Documenso and DocuSign), document automation and comparison, AI models (such as Anthropic), email delivery, scheduling, practice management, accounting, and banking.
(b)Other Participants in Your Matter. We disclose information to other people involved in the same matter as needed to carry it out. For example, a founder’s information may be visible to the client company and its other founders, an investor’s information and signed SAFE may be visible to the company, and draft documents may be shared with counterparties and their counsel at the client’s direction.
(c)Government Authorities and Filing Agents. We submit information to state corporate registries, the Internal Revenue Service, registered agents, securities regulators, and similar bodies as needed to make filings that are part of our services.
(d)Professional Advisers. We disclose information to our own lawyers, accountants, auditors, and insurers, subject to confidentiality obligations.
(e)Legal Requirements and Protection. We disclose information where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, court order, or the rules of professional conduct, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Parallax, our clients, or others, in each case consistent with our duties of confidentiality and privilege.
(f)Transfers of Our Practice. If Parallax merges with or transfers its practice to another firm, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the rules of professional conduct that govern the transfer of client files.
(g)With Your Direction or Consent. We disclose information when you direct or consent to it.
Cookies and Similar Technologies.
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for it to function, that remember your preferences, and that help us understand how visitors use the Website. The Client Platform uses cookies and local storage that are necessary for sign-in, security, and session management. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although disabling necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Services from working. Because there is no common industry standard for “Do Not Track” signals, we do not respond to them.
How Long We Keep Information.
We keep personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. In particular, we keep:
(a)client files, engagement records, and related communications for the period stated in the Engagement Letter and as required by our professional and record-keeping obligations, which is generally at least seven years after the matter closes;
(b)inquiry and consultation records for prospective clients who do not engage us for as long as needed to respond to them and to maintain conflict-checking records;
(c)access links, which expire automatically and which we store only in a form that cannot be used to recreate the link; and
(d)security logs and audit records for as long as needed to protect the Services and to evidence the actions taken in each matter.
When we no longer need information, we delete it or de-identify it, unless we are required to keep it longer.
Security.
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls based on each user’s role in a matter, time-limited access links, and activity logging. No system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to us. Please notify us promptly at info@parallaxlaw.ai if you believe your access to the Services has been compromised.
International Transfers.
We are based in the United States, and our service providers primarily store and process information in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, we protect those transfers with appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, or a recipient’s certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK extension.
Your Choices.
(a)Marketing. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the link in the message or contacting us. You will continue to receive messages about your account and matters.
(b)Access and Updates. You may review and update much of the information you submit through the Client Platform while a matter is open, or ask us to correct it.
(c)Limits on Deletion. We may be unable to delete information that we must keep to meet our legal, regulatory, or professional obligations, including our obligation to maintain client files and conflict-checking records, or that is subject to the attorney-client privilege or a client’s rights in its file. If we cannot fulfill a request for this reason, we will tell you.
EU and UK Privacy Rights.
(a)Applicability. This Section 11 applies if the EU General Data Protection Regulation or the UK General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act 2018 (together, “GDPR”) apply to our processing of your personal information.
(b)Legal Bases. We process personal information on the following legal bases:
(c)Your Rights. Subject to conditions and exceptions under GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal information, to restrict or object to its processing, to receive it in a portable format, and to withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. You may exercise these rights by emailing info@parallaxlaw.ai. Your rights may be limited where we must keep information to comply with our legal or professional obligations or where it is subject to legal privilege.
(d)Complaints. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in the country where you live or work or where an alleged infringement occurred, including, in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office. We would appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.
(e)Privacy Contact. If you have questions about how we process your personal information under GDPR, or wish to exercise your rights, you may contact Isaac Wall at info@parallaxlaw.ai.
(f)Automated Decisions. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you.
Children.
The Services are not directed to individuals under 18 years old, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Third-Party Websites and Services.
The Services contain links to, and integrations with, websites and services operated by third parties, such as sign-in providers, payment processors, and e-signature platforms. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Changes to This Privacy Policy.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on the Website with a new “Last Updated” date and, if the changes are material, we will give notice through the Services or by email before they take effect.
