Privacy policy

1. Controller and scope

The site is operated by SAM & HERNÁNDEZ CONSULTORES JURÍDICOS SRL, with its professional address at Avenida John F. Kennedy, Plaza Kennedy, Suite 305, Los Próceres, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. For privacy questions, contact contacto@syhconsultoresjuridicos.com.

This policy is interpreted under applicable Dominican Republic rules, including Law No. 172-13 where relevant. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other foreign laws are considered only where their territorial scope applies in the circumstances; mere international availability of the site does not by itself determine that they apply. This notice is not a legal assessment of any individual situation.

2. Information we process

This site presents the firm’s team and services and publishes editorial and informational content. It currently has no contact forms, user accounts, payments, case-file uploads, public comments, or advertising. Google Analytics 4 loads only if you accept analytics in the banner. When enabled, it may process browser identifiers, visited pages, and technical device data to generate statistics; we do not request your name or email for this measurement.

When you visit, the hosting provider may receive technical data needed to deliver and protect the pages, such as IP address, request date and time, browser, device, requested URL, and diagnostic information. Vercel hosts the site and processes such data within its infrastructure under its own terms and documentation.

If you choose to contact us by email or WhatsApp, information you include —such as your name, phone number, email address, or consultation details— is transmitted through that service. We do not receive it merely because you opened this site. The firm uses Google Workspace for its professional email. Google and WhatsApp/Meta process these communications under their terms and policies; your own email provider may also be involved.

3. Purposes

• Deliver and maintain the site and its content.
• Protect service availability, integrity, and security, and diagnose technical errors.
• Respond to messages you voluntarily send and, where appropriate, follow up on a professional inquiry.
• Remember your language preference using a technical next-intl cookie when you use the language selector.
• Measure visits and navigation with Google Analytics 4 only with your consent, to understand use of the site and improve its content. Store your cookie choice locally to respect it on later visits.

3a. Direct contact and technical support

Phone, email, and WhatsApp links contact the firm directly. This site does not store the content of calls or messages or receive case files through a form. Communications you send to the firm are handled outside the site and may contain personal data; this is distinct from browsing and does not mean that no data is processed.

Technical maintenance operates the website rather than handling legal consultations. Support access to non-public data must be limited to what is needed for the authorized task. To arrange an appropriate channel or report a possible privacy or security issue, contact contacto@syhconsultoresjuridicos.com without initially attaching confidential documents or credentials. Do not send unnecessary third-party information.

4. Cases, debates, and third-party information

We publish editorial analysis of real or hypothetical matters. When processing information about individuals, we aim to limit it to what is relevant, distinguish verified facts from allegations or hypotheses, attribute sources, and avoid exposing unnecessary private details. Public interest does not automatically make every personal detail publishable.

If you believe content improperly identifies someone, contains a factual error, or affects rights, email contacto@syhconsultoresjuridicos.com with the URL, the specific passage, and your reasons. We will review the request and may ask for reasonable information to verify it. Do not send sensitive data, complete case files, or confidential documents by email unless a professional has provided an appropriate channel.

5. Grounds and service providers

We process technical information to operate and secure the site; messages you send so we can address and answer them; and technical preferences to provide the requested experience. Dominican Law No. 172-13 recognizes rights of access, rectification, updating, and deletion in the circumstances and through the procedures established by law.

Providers that may be involved include Vercel (hosting and page delivery), Google Workspace (the firm’s email), your email provider, and WhatsApp/Meta if you choose to use those services. External links to Google Maps open its service only when clicked. The site does not embed maps or advertising pixels. Google Analytics 4 (Google) measures visits and navigation only after analytics is accepted; consent can be withdrawn in Cookie preferences. Providers may process information in other countries under their own terms and safeguards.

6. Retention and security

We keep messages we receive only for as long as needed to handle them and comply with applicable professional or legal obligations. Technical logs are retained under the hosting provider's configuration and retention periods. Retention of messages received by the firm also depends on its obligations and professional email settings. Retention of event and user data in GA4 depends on the property setting and differs from cookie lifetime. We do not control independently retained third-party copies.

We apply reasonable measures to limit access to and protect information under our control. No internet transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure.

7. Your requests

You may email contacto@syhconsultoresjuridicos.com to request information about data you have sent us, ask for a correction, or request deletion where appropriate. To protect individuals, we may request proportionate identity verification and explain any legal limitation. This contact route does not replace judicial procedures, including any habeas data remedy available under Dominican law.

8. Changes and contact

We may update this policy to reflect changes to the site, providers, or law. The current version will appear on this page with its update date. If we add forms, accounts, new analytics features, advertising, or document intake, we will review this policy and any required notices and consent measures before enabling those features.
