Privacy Policy
Richard L. Vanderslice, P.C. (the “Firm,” “we,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you visit www.vanderslicelaw.com, contact us, or communicate with us by text message. This policy does not replace any separate agreement governing our representation of a client.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to provide, including your name, telephone number, email address, and information in a website inquiry, intake form, email, call, or text message. If you become a client, we may also collect information needed to evaluate and handle your legal matter, provide services, and administer our relationship with you. We may receive basic technical information associated with use of our website, such as your IP address, browser information, pages viewed, and the time of a visit, through the website and its service providers. [REVIEW: Describe any analytics, advertising pixels, or cookies actually used by the website and provide any required choices or notices.]
How we use information
We use information to respond to inquiries; evaluate and provide legal services; communicate about appointments, documents, billing, and matters; operate and improve our website and business; maintain security and records; and comply with legal and professional obligations. Submitting an inquiry or receiving a reply does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not submit confidential or time-sensitive information through the website unless we have agreed on an appropriate way to receive it.
Text messaging and mobile information
If you separately agree to receive text messages, we may text you about your inquiry or legal matter, including appointments, documents, billing, and case updates. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any text to opt out or HELP for assistance. See our [SMS Terms](/sms-terms/). Text messaging is not a secure channel for sensitive information; ask us about a secure way to send confidential materials.
We do not sell, rent, or share mobile numbers or text messaging opt-in information or consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may provide information to vendors that help us send and manage our own messages, subject to appropriate restrictions; they are not authorized to use it for their own marketing.
When we disclose information
We may disclose information to service providers who host our website, manage communications or practice operations, or provide other services on our behalf; to people or organizations involved in providing legal services as appropriate and consistent with our professional duties; when you direct or authorize us to do so; or when required or permitted by law. Our disclosure of client information is also governed by applicable duties of confidentiality.
Retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, including client-file obligations, business records, dispute resolution, and applicable legal requirements. We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website, email, or text transmission can be guaranteed secure.
Your choices
You may decline to provide information requested on a website form, although we may then be unable to respond to your inquiry. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to a message. To ask about the personal information you have provided or request a correction, contact us using the details below. We will respond as applicable law and our professional obligations require.
External sites and changes
Our website may link to other sites whose privacy practices we do not control. We may update this policy by posting a revised version with a new effective date. The revised version applies from the date shown unless otherwise stated.
