Privacy Policy
How Handel Law Group, APC collects, uses, and protects the information you share with us through this website.
Handel Law Group, APC ("Handel Law Group," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit HandelLawGroup.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. It is provided in accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act and other applicable law.
No attorney-client relationship
Contacting us through this Site, by email, by text, or by phone does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we agree to represent you and a written agreement is signed. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information until we have confirmed that we represent you.
Information we collect
Information you provide. When you submit a consultation request, a referral, or otherwise contact us, we collect the information you choose to share, which may include:
- Your name, phone number, and email address
- The type of case and a description of what happened
- For attorney referrals, your firm name and the county of the case
- Any other information you include in a message to us
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our Site and hosting provider may automatically collect limited technical information, such as your browser type, device type, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. Our Site may also store your language preference in your browser so the Site remembers whether you chose English or Spanish.
Analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors find us. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies and collects information such as your device type, approximate location, and the pages you visit. We use this information in aggregate to improve the Site. You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we can help with your matter
- To communicate with you by phone, email, or text about your inquiry
- To review and respond to attorney referrals
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- To comply with legal and ethical obligations
How we share your information
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising purposes. We may share information only as needed with service providers who help us operate the Site or handle form submissions, and who are required to protect it; when required by law, court order, or legal process; or to protect the rights and safety of our clients, our firm, or others.
Third-party websites
Our Site links to other websites, such as news articles and review sites like Google, Yelp, and Avvo. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. Please review their policies before sharing information with them.
Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. Because there is no common industry standard for these signals, our Site does not currently respond to them. We do not track visitors across other websites.
Data security and retention
We use reasonable measures to protect the information you send us. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so please do not include highly sensitive details in a website form. We keep inquiry information only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law and our professional obligations.
Children's privacy
This Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the Site. A parent or guardian may contact us on a child's behalf.
