Privacy Notice
This privacy notice describes how Community Law Group (“we”, “our”, or “the Firm”) collects, uses, and protects the personal information you provide through our website. By using our website, you agree to the practices outlined in this notice.
We recommend that you read this privacy notice in its entirety to ensure you are fully informed about the privacy and handling of your data. Additionally, if you only wish to learn about a specific section of this article, you can click on the corresponding link below to go to that section.

Community Law Group serves as a provider of comprehensive legal services in Nashville, TN, offering legal representation in civil, criminal, and immigration matters.
Our offices are located in Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. For more information about Community Law Group, please visit the “About Us” section of our website at https://communitylawgroup.com/about-us/
How is this privacy notice applied?
This privacy notice applies only to personal information that we collect and that may be used for direct communication with our clients or individuals interested in our advisory, consultancy, and/or legal assistance services. It also applies to individuals who respond to our surveys, receive marketing materials, or participate in commercial promotions or contests that we may occasionally hold.
This privacy notice applies to the processing of personal information by Community Law Group as the data controller. When we say Community Law Group acts as a “data controller,” we mean that Community Law Group determines the purpose and means of processing (i.e., we make decisions about how we will handle your basic personal information). This means that when a Community Law Group user requests it, we may facilitate the processing of basic personal information. This privacy notice does not address the services of the processor. If you are a visitor to Community Law Group and want to know how your personal information is handled, please contact the Community Law Group user directly and/or review any privacy notice on the corresponding website.
If you provide information about another person (for example, if you are a representative of an individual), you must provide them with a copy of this Privacy Notice and inform that individual that we use their personal information as outlined in this privacy notice.
What personal information do we collect?
The personal information we may collect about you is generally divided into the following categories:
Information You Provide Voluntarily
When you provide us with information, you register to become a member of our Community Law Group database. If you are a client, we may ask you to provide your email address or phone number via SMS. You can unsubscribe from the marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in the marketing emails or SMS we may send you, or by completing our data request form.
You may also provide us with personal data when submitting inquiries or filing a report (such as an intellectual property report or counter-notice). For example, we may ask for your name and email address to respond to your inquiries. If you are a new visitor and wish to begin using our legal advisory services or representation, we may request your email address, mobile phone number, date of birth or age, or other personal information to process it in our database and contact you promptly to respond to your request. You may also voluntarily provide personal information if you respond to our surveys, marketing materials, or participate in commercial promotions and contests that we may hold from time to time.

Upon notification or discovery, we will make all reasonable efforts to delete or destroy any personal information we have collected or stored about that person.
Why do we collect your personal information?
In general, we will use the information we collect for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice or for purposes that we explain to you at the time we collect your personal information.
- For consumer research and to allow you to participate in surveys or interactive features of Community Law Group Services when you wish to do so.
- To provide customer service and process and respond to a request, complaint, or Intellectual Property Report or Counter Notice you have made.
- To process payments for users on the paid plan.
- For prospective business studies.
- To deliver promotional materials, special offers, and general information about other goods, services, and events we offer that are similar to those you have already purchased or requested, unless you have opted out of receiving such information.
- For company administration, including the fulfillment and exercise of our obligations and rights, the exercise or defense of legal claims, compliance with our legal obligations and law enforcement requests, and the management of the relationship with you.
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information
Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the specific information in question and the circumstances under which we collect it.
However, we will generally collect your personal information only when we have your consent, when we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or when the processing is in our legitimate interest and is not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information about you, or we may need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement, we will make that clear at the relevant time and inform you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (and the potential consequences if you do not provide it).
If we collect and use your personal information based on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), that interest will normally be to develop and improve Community Law Group’s services, provide additional functionality, ensure proper security, or implement confidential content, warnings, and content moderation. We may have other legitimate interests, and if applicable, we will make it clear at the relevant time what those legitimate interests are.
If you have any questions or need more information about the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided in the “Contact Us” section.
Who We May Share Your Personal Information With
We may disclose your personal information to the following categories of recipients:
To companies within our group, external service providers (e.g., to support delivery, provide functionality, or help improve the security of our platform or Community Law Group services), or those who otherwise process personal information for the purposes described in this privacy notice or as notified to you when we collect your personal information. A list of our current group companies is available here, and a list of our current service providers and partners is available here. We also provide external payment providers, and this is detailed further below.
To any competent law enforcement agency, regulatory authority, government agency, court, or other third party when we believe disclosure is necessary (i) as required by applicable law or regulation, (ii) to exercise, establish, or defend our legal rights, or (iii) to protect your vital interests or those of another person.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Other Countries
Your personal information may be transferred and processed in countries other than the one in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those in your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).
Specifically, Community Law Group may transfer personal information to the United States and other countries where we do business. Community Law Group may also outsource certain activities and share your personal information with third parties located outside of the United States (where our headquarters are).
The countries where these organizations are located may vary, but in the course of our business operations, we generally disclose personal information to organizations located in Colombia and the United States. Such transfers are made for the purpose of providing Community Law Group services and carrying out the activities specified in this privacy notice.
However, we have taken appropriate security measures to ensure that your personal information remains protected in accordance with this privacy notice and applicable data protection laws. These include entering into data transfer agreements between companies in our group, which can be provided upon request. We have implemented similar safeguards with our external service providers and partners, and further details can be provided upon request. No transfer of your personal information to an organization or another country will take place unless we believe there are adequate safeguards, including the security of your data and other personal information. For more details, please refer to the section “How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?”.

This notice will typically explain the different types of cookies (e.g., essential cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, advertising cookies) and provide instructions on how to manage or disable them through your browser settings or other tools.
How Long Do We Retain Your Personal Information?
We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy notice, and in each case, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements regarding permitted or required retention periods, as well as the relevant limitation periods for legal actions.
How Do We Protect Your Personal Information?
We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorized manner, altered, or disclosed.
Additionally, we restrict access to your personal information to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a legitimate business need to know. They will process your personal information only in accordance with our instructions and are subject to a confidentiality obligation.
While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Therefore, we have implemented procedures to address any suspected personal data breach, and we will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach when legally required to do so.
Your Rights Regarding Personal Information
You have the following data protection rights:
If you wish to access, correct, or update your personal information, you can do so at any time by completing our Data Request Form.
