Data Privacy & Compliance Counsel
Privacy that keeps pace with your product and your regulators, from your lawyer’s lawyer
Data Privacy and Compliance Counsel for Startups
If your product collects user data, privacy is not a document you generate once and forget. It is an ongoing obligation that grows every time you add a feature, a vendor, or a market. Done well, it is quiet and protective. Done badly, it shows up as a regulator's letter, a blown enterprise deal, or a breach you were not ready for. This practice keeps it in the first category.
We are Stealth Legal. We've worked both in private practice and inside companies as in-house counsel, so we know what it actually takes to support a growing business with practical advice and sound legal guidance, not just to answer a discrete legal question and send a bill.
What privacy counsel covers?
Think of it as your legal function that knows the ins-and-outs of your user, customer, employee, and company personal data:
-
Drafting clear, accurate, and matched to what your product actually does, not a generic template that creates liability.
-
The DPAs your enterprise customers and vendors require, drafted and reviewed so they hold up.
-
Practical CCPA, CPRA, GDPR, and state-law compliance scoped to your stage (be it gearing up for SOC2, NIS2, ISO or otherwise), so you meet the bar without drowning a small team in process.
-
A plan before you need one, and steady guidance if an incident or a regulator ever comes knocking.
Compliance that scales with you.
When you need a privacy lawyer
If you are collecting user data without a clear privacy position, getting DPA requests from customers you cannot answer, expanding into California or the EU, or building anything that touches sensitive or AI-processed data, this is the work that gets you covered before it becomes a problem.
How it works at Stealth Legal
Most privacy advice is either a cheap template that does not fit or an enterprise program you cannot afford to run. I work in between: a privacy posture sized to where your company is now, built so it extends cleanly as you take on bigger customers and new jurisdictions. When the rules change, and they will, you have counsel who is already tracking them.
Simple and predictable. We start with a short call to size your legal load, then set a flat fee that fits it. You get direct access to principal counsel, not a rotating cast of associates.
No surprise bills.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
If your website or app collects any personal information, almost certainly yes, and often by law. The real question is whether your policy matches what you actually do, which is where generic templates get companies into trouble.
-
A DPA is a contract that governs how one company processes personal data on another's behalf. Enterprise customers and many vendors require one, and the terms matter, so it is worth having a lawyer draft or review yours.
-
It depends on where your users are and what data you collect. Common ones are California's CCPA and CPRA and the EU's GDPR, plus a growing list of US state laws. A short review sorts out which ones you need to plan for.
