Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy describes how The M. Simmons Law Firm handles information collected through msimmonslawfirm.com.

It covers the website only. It does not describe how the firm handles information contained in confidential client files, which is governed by the firm’s professional obligations and any engagement agreement. If you become a client, information about your matter is handled under those obligations rather than under this policy alone.

2. Information you give us

The only information the website asks for is what you type into the consultation form: your name, a phone number or email address, the type of case you selected, a description of what happened, and which page you sent the form from.

Please do not send Social Security numbers, medical records, photographs of documents or other sensitive material through the form. We do not ask for it, and the form is not intended for it.

3. Information collected automatically

This website does not run analytics software, advertising pixels, session recording, heat mapping or chat widgets. There are no embedded maps, videos or social media feeds on the pages. We do not build a profile of your browsing, and we do not track you across other websites.

The service that hosts and serves this website may keep standard server logs that record technical information such as the pages requested, the date and time, the browser and device type, and the IP address the request came from. Those logs are used to deliver the site, keep it secure and diagnose problems.

4. Typefaces and outside services

The pages display text in two typefaces, League Spartan and Inter. Both are served from this website itself, so your browser does not connect to Google or to any other third party in order to display a page. Opening a page on this site does not cause a request to another company.

The firm also publishes on Instagram. The Instagram link on this site is an ordinary link: nothing is loaded from Instagram until you choose to click it, and once you do you are on Instagram’s platform, which handles your information under its own privacy policy rather than this one.

5. Why we use the information

• to read your inquiry and respond to it using the contact details you provided;
• to check whether the firm can take on the matter, including a conflicts of interest check;
• to keep a record of inquiries and how they were handled;
• to protect the website from spam, automated submissions and abuse;
• to meet record keeping and other obligations that apply to the firm.

6. Who handles the information

Inquiry submissions are stored in a private database operated by the service that hosts this website, and are readable only by firm personnel with administrative access. They are not published and are not accessible from the public website.

A notification email containing your inquiry is sent to the firm through an email delivery service so that the firm learns about it promptly. That provider acts on the firm’s behalf and is not permitted to use the information for its own marketing.

The firm does not sell inquiry information, and does not share it with advertising networks.

7. Cookies and tracking choices

The firm does not place analytics or advertising cookies on this website, so there is no tracking consent to manage here. The platform that serves the site may set cookies that are necessary to deliver the pages and protect the site, which are not used to build an advertising profile.

If the firm later adds a tool that tracks visitors, this policy will be updated before that tool is used, and a consent choice will be presented where the law requires one.

8. Your choices

You can contact the firm to ask what inquiry information we hold about you, to ask us to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. We may need to confirm who you are before acting on a request, and we may need to keep certain records where professional or legal obligations require it. If we cannot delete a record, we will explain why.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights. Tell us what you would like to do and we will explain what applies to your request.

You can also choose not to use the form and to call the firm instead.

9. How long we keep information

We keep inquiry information for as long as we need it to respond, to evaluate a potential matter, and to meet the record keeping and professional obligations that apply to the firm. We do not set a single fixed period for every inquiry, because the right period depends on what happens with the matter. When information is no longer needed, it is deleted.

10. How we protect information

Inquiry records are held in a private database with access restricted to authorized firm personnel, and the website does not expose them publicly. Access to the firm’s administrative accounts is limited, and submissions are validated to reduce automated abuse.

No website or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We take reasonable steps to protect information, but we cannot promise absolute security.

11. Children

This website is intended for adults. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children through the site. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact the firm and we will delete it.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in how the website works. When we do, we will update the date shown on this page so visitors can see when it last changed.
