CORPORATE IMMIGRATION PARTNERS, PC, PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: July 1, 2025

Corporate Immigration Partners, PC, our related affiliates, and subsidiaries (collectively, “CIPPC” or “we”) want to ensure that our clients, their employees, and any affected data subjects (“you”) are informed about the security and use of the personal information that we receive and process on your behalf.

Accordingly, this Privacy Notice (“Privacy Notice”) is intended to inform you about CIPPC’s privacy practices. It describes the types of personal information we collect, how we may use that information, with whom it may be shared, and the measures taken to ensure its security.

In addition, we provide information on how to contact us:

• Exercise your right to object to the processing of certain aspects of your data under applicable laws
• Access, correct, or delete your data
• Ask any questions you may have about our privacy practices

In some instances, we are engaged directly by corporations or business groups, which results in the processing of employee information at their request. Where we refer to “employer” below, it is in these circumstances that corporations or other business groups have engaged us to act. You may, at any time, if you prefer, address any concerns directly to your employer, where applicable.

BROWSING OR USING OUR SITE DOES NOT MAKE YOU OUR CLIENT

Please be advised that browsing the website or using its services or functionality does not make you a client of Corporate Immigration Partners, PC. The site is provided for general informational purposes and convenience, not for creating an attorney-client relationship. You should contact an attorney or local bar association for legal advice.

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

CIPPC collects certain personal information about you and, if required, your family members and employer to provide immigration consulting and legal services. We cannot provide the services requested if we are not provided with all relevant personal information.

CLIENT SERVICES

For purposes of providing client services, including the applicable legal services and immigration consulting services you or your employer request, CIPPC collects and processes personal information such as name, address, telephone number, date of birth, marital status, passport number, employment history, educational background, tax status, employee number, job title and function, and expatriate status through our case management system, Immigration Tracker, or in conversation with our lawyers, consultants, and staff. Where required for the service, CIPPC collects specific personal documents, including passport copies, educational records, CVs, visa copies, birth certificates, and other relevant materials.

We also obtain personal information from third-party sources, such as former employers, educational institutions you attended, relocation companies, and your current or prospective employer. We utilize this information to offer immigration consulting and legal services, including analyzing, completing, and processing immigration, visa, and related filings and submissions to relevant government agencies. We also provide legal and consultative advice on eligibility for immigration benefits and assist with relocation and other expatriate issues.

We use your personal information in other instances in connection with the services we provide. This use occurs only when there is a legitimate interest to do so that is not overridden by your data protection rights as required by law, such as assisting in the management and administration of our client’s global mobility programs (such as visa expiration tracking, immigration program compliance, etc.), providing access to online case-management tools, where applicable, and analyzing immigration trends, such as visa processing times and government approval rates. Where your employer engages us, we process your personal information because it is in our legitimate interests to fulfill our contract with your employer for client services.

In addition to providing you or your employer with our services, we process personal information to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations, including record-keeping requirements. For example, we process personal data in accordance with “know your customer,” anti-money laundering, anti-bribery, and professional regulations.

PRE-EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION

Certain countries require verification of new employees’ employment eligibility at the time of hire. Examples of such requirements include the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (“IRCA”) in the United States and the Immigration, Asylum, and Nationality Act of 2006 in the United Kingdom, pursuant to which CIPPC collects and processes personal information such as your name, email address, home address, military service, and citizenship status.

INFORMATION REQUESTS

If you request information about our services directly, you may choose to provide personal information such as your name, address, email address, and telephone number. We use your information to respond to your request.

OTHER USES OF INFORMATION

Where it is in our legitimate interests and not outweighed by your data protection rights, we use the personal information we collect and process for client and CIPPC administration, compliance audits, compliance with CIPPC policies and procedures, ensuring the security and integrity of our services and in ensuring that our Information Technology (IT) systems function effectively.

Furthermore, we process your personal information with your consent, such as when we use your contact details to respond to a request or question from you or where required by law.

SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

IMMIGRATION SERVICES

Governments worldwide require the collection and processing of a wide variety of personal information from foreign nationals seeking to enter the country and obtain immigration benefits, such as employment authorization or residency status. Governments require this information for reasons such as border protection, public health, national sovereignty, national security, and regulating the local employment market. Specific categories of personal information may be considered “sensitive” and are subject to a higher level of data protection. These categories may include race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, sex life or sexual orientation, physical or mental health or condition, data relating to offenses or criminal convictions, and biometric data, such as fingerprints, when used to uniquely identify you.

In the context of the services we provide, CIPPC collects sensitive personal information when submitting such data is necessary to comply with the country’s legal obligations, in which you are seeking a visa or work permit. CIPPC may need to inquire about certain sensitive information to provide legal or consultative advice about your eligibility to travel to or obtain an immigration benefit from a specific country. For instance, we may need to ask whether you have been previously convicted of any criminal offenses, have particular political affiliations, or other personal matters when the local applicable immigration laws would require such data for purposes of preparing an application or petition on your behalf or evaluating whether certain personal information would bar you from entering the country. In some instances, the laws of EU member states require us to process sensitive personal data for these purposes, as permitted by the GDPR; on other occasions, we will obtain your explicit consent.

CIPPC does not solicit children under the age of 13. CIPPC does not knowingly acquire, store, or use personal information relating to children under 13 years of age unless it is in the course of what is necessary for visa applications. If CIPPC learns that confidential information of persons under 13 years of age (excluding Service Data) has been collected via the website without parental consent, CIPPC will take appropriate steps to delete this information from its systems.

As stated above, CIPPC may collect certain information about you in conjunction with providing immigration consulting and legal services.

If sensitive personal information is involved in delivering a new purpose, we will only use your information if you actively communicate your consent to this processing to your employer or us, as applicable, when it is necessary to deliver the requested service or follow the requirements of applicable laws. We will follow the same procedure if we disclose personal information to third parties that are expected to process the personal data for their independent purposes.
