Vernsten Law ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at https://vernstenlaw.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us when you fill out a contact or consultation form, request information, or otherwise communicate with us. This may include your name, email address, telephone number, the type of legal matter you are inquiring about, and any details you choose to include in your message.
When you visit our website, we and our service providers may also automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits. We collect this information using cookies and similar technologies (see "Cookies and Analytics" below).
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, evaluate and discuss potential legal representation, provide and improve our services, maintain the security and functionality of our website, and comply with our legal and professional obligations.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting information through this website or contacting us by email or web form does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have agreed to represent you in writing and any applicable conflicts check is complete. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through our website or by email until such a relationship has been established, as we cannot guarantee its confidentiality before that time.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website and communicate with you, such as website hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform those services. We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or applicable rules of professional responsibility, or when necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property.
Cookies and Analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and improve your experience. We may use analytics services that collect aggregated, non-identifying information about website usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some features of the site may not function properly if you do so.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect the personal information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.
Your Privacy Choices
You may request to review, update, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the details below. We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law and our professional obligations to retain certain records. You may also opt out of receiving non-essential communications from us at any time.
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
