General

We recognize that you may be concerned about our use and disclosure of your personal information. Your privacy is very important to us, and the following will inform you of the information that we, Parmet Law PC, may collect from you, and how it is used. By using this website or any affiliate website, you are accepting the practices described in this policy.

Information Collection

We may collect non-personal information, such as a domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveals nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We may also collect information about the type of Internet browser you are using, operating system, what brought you to our website, as well as which of our web pages you have accessed.

Additionally, if you communicate with us regarding our website or our services, we will collect any information that you provide to us in any such communication.

We may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy.

Attorney-Client Relationship

When you submit information through a contact form, intake questionnaire, or similar tool on this website, that information is transmitted to us for the purpose of evaluating a potential representation. Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only when we have accepted representation of you and confirmed the same in writing.

Information Use

We use the collected information primarily for our own internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving our services and website, fulfilling requests for information, and providing customer support.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it.

If we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Cookies

We use “cookies” on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.

We use Google Analytics and similar tools to collect information about how visitors use this website. These tools may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This information is used in aggregate to improve website performance and user experience. Google Analytics data is governed by Google’s privacy policy, available at google.com/policies/privacy.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies. Doing so may affect the functionality of certain features on this site. You may also opt out of Google Analytics data collection by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Text Messages

We may send text messages to phone numbers you provide in connection with a legal inquiry, intake form, or client matter. By providing your phone number and consenting to receive text messages, you agree that we may contact you by text regarding your matter, including case updates, appointment reminders, and follow-up communications.

Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. To opt out, reply STOP to any message. To request help, reply HELP. We do not send text messages for marketing or promotional purposes. We will not sell or share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes.

Sharing

We will not sell or otherwise provide the information we collect to outside third parties for the purpose of direct or indirect mass email marketing.

We will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

• Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on our company
• Protect and defend the rights or property of our website and related properties
• Identify persons who may be violating the law, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing our website or its related properties

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online — for example through email, discussion boards, or elsewhere — that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you’re online.

Third-Party Links

This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by our website. This policy will not apply to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website. Our website may contain links to other websites. We do not control the information collection of sites that can be reached through links from our website. If you have questions about the data collection practices of a linked site, please contact that site directly.
