Legal & Sensitive Information: Case-related details submitted via forms or email (e.g., background facts, documents).

Usage Data: IP address, browser type, referral pages, pages visited, time and date, cookies and tracking data (analytics).

Provide services, evaluate legal needs, respond to inquiries.

Communicate updates, follow up with potential clients.

Analyze and improve website performance and user experience.

Fulfill legal and professional obligations (e.g., record-keeping, compliance).

Consent is obtained when you submit data. Consent can be withdrawn by contacting us.

5. How We Use & Share Your Information
Internal Use Only: Your information is used solely within Harris Law to provide legal services or respond to your communications.

Third-Party Service Providers: We may engage vendors (e.g., cloud storage, analytics platforms, form processors) who process data on our behalf. 

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

For California residents, Harris Law does not participate in the sale of personal data, and therefore the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” provision does not apply.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, tags, beacons, and analytics tools to collect usage data. You can control cookies via your browser settings. Functional features may be impacted if cookies are disabled.

7. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable laws, you may have rights to:

Access, correct, or delete personal data.

Opt out of processing or marketing communications.

Under federal Fair Information Practice Principles, you have rights regarding notice, choice/consent, access, data integrity, and enforcement.

If you are a California resident and Harris Law triggers CCPA/CPRA thresholds, you have additional rights (e.g., “Do Not Sell,” access, deletion), though Harris Law does not sell personal data.
To exercise any rights, contact us using the information above.

8. International Data Transfers
If you access the Site from outside the U.S., your data may be transferred to the U.S., where privacy laws differ. By using our Site, you consent to that transfer.

9. Data Retention & Security
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to serve your case or comply with law/regulatory requirements.

We implement appropriate technical (e.g., encryption) and organizational safeguards (e.g., employee training, limited access) to protect your data.

10. Breach Notifications
We comply with all applicable state data breach notification laws across the U.S. In the event of unauthorized access, we will notify affected individuals as required.

11. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. We will post the new “Effective Date” at the top. If required by law, we’ll notify you of material changes.

12. Complaints
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may contact us or lodge a complaint with your state’s Attorney General or the FTC.
