Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 22, 2025

Last Updated: October 22, 2025

At Lovelace Law PLLC, your privacy and confidentiality are incredibly important to me. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, protect, and share your personal information when you visit my website or use my legal services.

I take the attorney-client privilege seriously. Any information you share with me in the course of seeking legal representation is protected by strict confidentiality rules that go beyond standard privacy practices.

1. Information I Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you contact me or use my services, I may collect:

• Your name, phone number, and email address
• Details about your legal matter or case
• Documents and evidence related to your case
• Communication preferences and scheduling information
• Payment and billing information
• Any other information you choose to provide

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit lovelacelaw.net, I may automatically collect:

• Your IP address and general location
• Browser type and device information
• Pages you visit and how long you stay
• Referring website or search terms
• Date and time of your visit

This information helps me understand how people use my website and improve the experience for everyone.

2. How I Use Your Information

I use the information I collect to:

• Provide Legal Services: Evaluate your case, communicate with you, prepare documents, and represent you effectively
• Respond to Inquiries: Answer your questions and provide consultation
• Communicate: Send you updates about your case, appointment reminders, and important legal deadlines
• Improve My Website: Understand how visitors use the site and make it more helpful
• Comply with Legal Obligations: Meet professional and regulatory requirements
• Protect Rights: Defend against legal claims and protect my practice and clients

I will never sell your personal information to third parties. Period.

3. Attorney-Client Confidentiality

If you become my client, all communications and information related to your legal representation are protected by attorney-client privilege. This means:

• I am legally and ethically obligated to keep your information confidential
• I cannot disclose your information without your permission (with very limited exceptions required by law)
• This protection applies to all communications about your case

Important Note: Simply visiting my website or sending an initial inquiry does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship begins only when we both agree to it in writing.

4. When I Share Your Information

I only share your personal information in these limited circumstances:

With Your Consent

I will share information when you explicitly authorize me to do so.

Service Providers

I may share information with trusted service providers who help me run my practice, such as:

• Case management software providers
• Email and communication platforms
• Payment processors
• Website hosting services
• Expert witnesses or consultants on your case

These providers are contractually required to keep your information secure and confidential.

Legal Requirements

I may disclose information when required by law, such as:

• In response to a valid court order or subpoena
• To comply with legal process
• To prevent imminent harm or criminal activity
• As required by professional ethics rules

Case-Related Purposes

With your authorization, I may share information with opposing counsel, courts, witnesses, or other parties as necessary to represent you effectively.

5. How I Protect Your Information

I take data security seriously and use reasonable measures to protect your information, including:

• Secure encrypted connections (SSL/TLS) for data transmission
• Password-protected systems and encrypted storage
• Limited access to sensitive information
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Secure disposal of physical and electronic records when no longer needed

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While I strive to protect your information, I cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

My website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help me:

• Remember your preferences
• Understand how you use the website
• Improve website functionality

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Keep in mind that disabling cookies may affect how the website functions.

Third-Party Analytics

I may use services like Google Analytics to understand website traffic and usage patterns. These services may collect information about your visit, but this data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

7. Third-Party Websites

My website may contain links to other websites for your convenience or reference. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. I encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

8. How Long I Keep Your Information

I retain your personal information for as long as necessary to:

• Provide legal services to you
• Comply with legal and ethical obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements
• Maintain records as required by law

For client files, I typically maintain records for at least seven years after a case closes, or longer if required by law or professional rules.

9. Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding your personal information:

Access and Correction

You can request access to the personal information I have about you and ask me to correct any inaccuracies.

Opt-Out of Communications

You can opt out of non-essential communications (like newsletters) at any time. However, I may still need to send you important information about your legal matter if you’re a client.

Do Not Track Signals

My website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals from browsers.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the information below.

10. Children’s Privacy

My website and services are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe I have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact me immediately.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or legal requirements. When I make changes, I will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

If I make significant changes, I will notify you by posting a notice on my website or by email if you’re a client. Your continued use of my website or services after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.

12. California Privacy Rights

If you’re a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• Right to know what personal information I collect and how I use it
• Right to request deletion of your personal information
• Right to opt out of the sale of personal information (note: I do not sell personal information)
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights
