At Intersection Legal we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website (intersectionlegal.com) and use our communication features, including our contact forms and WhatsApp integration. It is written to comply with El Salvador's Personal Data Protection Law (Legislative Decree No. 144 of 2024).
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller (responsable del tratamiento) is:
- Intersection Legal, a division of A&M Capital S.A. de C.V.
- Domicile: Torre 1 WTC Local 201A, Col. Escalón, San Salvador, El Salvador
- Email: grow@intersectionlegal.com
- Phone / WhatsApp: +503 7844 0216
2. What we collect
We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you interact with our website:
- Contact form ("Schedule a Call"): your name, email address, country of residence, phone number (optional), the service you're interested in, your message, and the page you sent it from.
- For Lawyers form ("Seal your file"): your name, email address, the package you built (route, tier and your answers to the builder questions), and the page you sent it from.
- WhatsApp: when you click a WhatsApp button to chat with us, we receive your phone number, any profile information visible on your WhatsApp account (such as your name or photo), and the contents of your messages.
The For Lawyers pages also show a greeting that uses your device's own clock, and a city name derived at the network edge from your connection. That location is approximate (city / region / country / timezone), is only displayed on your screen, and is not stored or sent anywhere by us.
Please do not include sensitive personal data (health, beliefs, biometric data, etc.) in free-text fields or messages. We do not request it and do not need it to help you.
3. Why we use it, and on what legal basis
We use your information strictly to provide and improve our services:
- Scheduling, confirming, and conducting your requested consultation calls (pre-contractual steps you request).
- Responding to your inquiries, questions, and requests via email or WhatsApp (pre-contractual steps you request).
- Connecting you with the independent attorney or firm in our network that fits your case (see section 7) (pre-contractual steps you request).
- Managing our relationship with you as a potential client or legal professional, including follow-up about the service you asked about (based on your express consent — you can object to follow-up at any time, see section 11).
- Ensuring the security and proper functioning of our website (legitimate operation of the site).
Our legal bases are your express consent (the checkbox you tick before submitting a form) and the pre-contractual steps needed to respond to your request. You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to grow@intersectionlegal.com; this does not affect processing already carried out.
5. WhatsApp
When you use a WhatsApp button on this site, your communication runs through WhatsApp (Meta Platforms). Your number, profile information and messages are also governed by Meta/WhatsApp's own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.
6. Who processes data on our behalf
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Your information is only shared with the service providers (encargados) needed to run our operations, bound by their service terms and confidentiality obligations:
- Cloudflare — website hosting, content delivery and security.
- Google — form submissions are processed through Google Apps Script and stored in a Google Sheet, and reach us by email.
- WhatsApp / Meta — messaging, when you choose to contact us that way.
7. Sharing with the attorneys in our network
Intersection Legal connects you with independent legal professionals. When you request a service, we share the details relevant to your case with the attorney or firm best placed to handle it, so they can assist you. That is the core purpose of the service you are requesting.
8. International transfers
The servers of our providers (Cloudflare, Google, Meta) may be located outside El Salvador. Where that happens, the transfer is made with contractual safeguards and protection standards no lower than those of Salvadoran law, and only for the purposes described in this policy.
9. How long we keep it
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy or to comply with legal obligations (for example, accounting and tax records must be kept for the periods required by Salvadoran law). When it is no longer needed, we delete it.
10. How we protect it
We implement technical and organizational security measures appropriate to the risk: encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and data minimization — we only ask for what we need. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot promise absolute security.
If a security breach ever affects your personal data, we are committed to notifying the Cybersecurity State Agency (ACE), the Attorney General's Office, and the affected persons within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, as required by law.
11. Your rights
Under El Salvador's Personal Data Protection Law you have the right to:
- Access — know what data we hold about you.
- Rectification — correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Cancellation / erasure — have your data deleted.
- Objection — object to certain processing, including commercial follow-up.
- Portability — receive your data in a usable format.
- To be forgotten — have your data removed when it is no longer needed.
- Limitation — restrict how your data is processed.
Exercising these rights is free of charge. Write to our Data Protection Officer (section 12) with your name, a copy of your identity document, and a description of the data and the right you want to exercise. We will respond within 20 business days, extendable once by 20 more when justified.
If you consider our response unsatisfactory, you have the right to file a complaint with the Cybersecurity State Agency (ACE), El Salvador's data protection authority.
12. Data Protection Officer
Our Data Protection Officer (Delegado de Protección de Datos) is your channel for anything in this policy:
- Email: grow@intersectionlegal.com — subject line "Data Protection".
13. Minors
This website is not directed at persons under 18 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Updates are published on this page with a revised Effective Date — this page is the official channel for those updates.
