Privacy policy

About this preview. This page is part of a concept preview built by Abixon Digital. It is not published by the firm. In this preview, the contact form is a demonstration: it does not send or keep what you type. The payment pages use sample data only, so no real payment is taken. The rest of this page is a draft of how the finished website would handle information, written for the firm's attorney to review.

This policy explains what information this website collects, why we collect it, and who we share it with. "We" means Bezaire & Leathers, Attorneys at Law, 41 Corporate Park, Suite 320, Irvine, CA 92606.

This policy covers this website only. Once you become a client, what you tell us is protected by our duty of confidentiality as California lawyers and by your engagement agreement. Those duties are stricter than this policy.

What we collect

When you use our contact form. The form asks for four things: your name, a phone number or email address, the names of the other people involved, and the kind of help you need. It does not ask about the details of your situation.

When you make a payment. Our payment pages ask you to enter the amount you are paying, unless the payment link from the firm has already filled it in. They may also ask for the invoice or reference number on your bill. You then enter your card or bank details, and any other details the processor asks for, such as your name and email address, on our payment processor's page, not on this website. We receive a record of the payment, such as the amount, the date and the last four digits of the card or account. We do not receive your full card or account number.

When you visit any page. Like most websites, our website host automatically records basic details of each visit, such as your device's internet (IP) address, your browser type, the page you asked for, and the date and time. Website hosts keep these records to run websites and protect them from misuse.

How we use it

We use this information to:

  • reply to you and set up a consultation;
  • check for conflicts of interest before we learn about anyone's matter;
  • process a payment you choose to make and provide your receipt;
  • keep this website working and protect it from misuse;
  • meet our legal and professional duties.

We do not sell the information you give us.

Please keep private details out of the form and email

Before we learn about anyone's matter, we check that we do not already represent someone on the other side. Until we have checked for conflicts and agreed to represent you, information you send through our contact form or by email will not be treated as confidential. Please send names only, and save the details for your consultation.

Who we share it with

We share information with companies that help us run this website and our office, so they can do that work:

  • our website host, which stores and delivers this website;
  • a third-party payment processor, which handles payments made through our payment pages.

We may also share information when the law requires it, for example to comply with a court order, always subject to our duty of confidentiality as lawyers.

We do not share personal information with other companies for their own marketing.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use cookies or similar tools to track you, and it does not use analytics or advertising tools. We have not placed anything on this website that lets other companies follow your activity across different websites.

When you continue to a payment, you move to our payment processor's page. That company runs its page under its own privacy policy, and it may use its own cookies there, for example to help prevent fraud.

Do Not Track

Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. There is no common standard for how websites should respond to it, so this website does not change what it does when it receives one. As explained above, this website does not use tools that track you across websites.

How long we keep information

We keep information only as long as we need it for the reasons on this page, or longer when the law or our professional duties require it. For example, the names we receive for a conflict check may stay in our conflict records even if we do not end up representing you.

Protecting information

This website uses an encrypted (https) connection. Even so, no way of sending information over the internet is free of risk. That is one more reason to keep private details out of the contact form and email until we have spoken with you.

Your choices and California privacy rights

You can ask us what information we have from you through this website, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Call us or write to us using the details below. We may need to keep some information when the law or our professional duties require it, such as conflict records.

California law also lets California residents ask whether a business shares their personal information with other companies for those companies' own direct marketing. We do not.

Children

This website is meant for adults. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children through it.

Links to other websites

This website links to other websites, such as our Google reviews and map listing, and the State Bar of California. Those websites have their own privacy policies, and we do not control them.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page with a new effective date.
