Privacy Policy.

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Saign Law, PC (“Saign Law,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information collected through this website. It is written in plain language so you can understand what happens with your information before you send it.

Information visitors voluntarily provide

The main way information reaches us through the website is the contact form. When you submit that form, you may provide:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your telephone number
• The type of matter you are inquiring about
• Any message you choose to include

You may also reach us by emailing sue@gilroyfamilylawyer.com or by telephone. Anything you share in those channels is received directly by the firm.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information common to nearly every website — for example, your IP address, the type of device and browser you are using, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to operate and secure the site.

Cookies and analytics

At the time of this policy’s effective date, this website does not use analytics tools, advertising pixels, or cross-site tracking cookies. Specifically, the site does not deploy Google Analytics, Google Ads, the Meta (Facebook) Pixel, or comparable third-party trackers.

The site is verified with Google Search Console using a static meta tag; that verification method does not set cookies or collect information about you.

Your browser may store small technical items (such as preferences you set on the site) that are necessary for the site to function. If we add analytics or advertising technologies in the future, we will update this section and, where required by law, provide the appropriate notice and choices before those tools begin operating.

How information is used

Information you provide is used to:

• Review and respond to your inquiry.
• Evaluate whether the firm can assist you and whether taking on your matter would create a conflict of interest.
• Communicate with you if you become a client.
• Meet legal, ethical, and record-keeping obligations that apply to attorneys practicing in California.
• Maintain the security and reliability of our website and systems.

Submitting information through the contact form, by email, or by voicemail does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when Saign Law, PC and a prospective client have signed a written engagement agreement.

Please do not submit confidential, highly sensitive, or time-critical information through the public contact form. If you need to share sensitive material, call the firm first and we will arrange an appropriate way to receive it.

When information may be disclosed

We may disclose information:

• To comply with a subpoena, court order, or other legal obligation.
• When we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Saign Law, PC, our clients, our staff, or the public.
• In connection with a lawful business transition, such as a merger, dissolution, or succession of the firm, in which case client and inquiry information would be handled consistent with applicable rules governing attorney records.

Service providers

We work with a small number of vendors that help operate the website and the firm’s day-to-day work — for example, our website hosting provider, our domain registrar, and our email host. Those providers may process information on our behalf strictly for the purpose of providing their service and are expected to keep it confidential.

We do not sell your personal information. The site does not currently run analytics or advertising services that would share information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. If that changes, this section and the “Cookies and analytics” section will be updated accordingly.

Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy and to meet our legal, ethical, and operational obligations — including the California State Bar’s guidance on retention of client and prospective-client records. Inquiry correspondence that does not lead to an engagement is retained for a limited period sufficient to check for future conflicts, then deleted or archived in accordance with our records practices.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect information submitted to us. However, no method of transmission over the internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep this in mind when deciding what to send through the website.

California privacy rights, where applicable

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”), grants certain rights to California residents when a business is subject to the statute. Whether a small professional practice such as Saign Law, PC is subject to the CCPA depends on facts that can change over time. Rather than assume the answer, we describe the rights here in conditional terms.

Where the CCPA applies, California residents generally have the right to:

• Know what categories of personal information a business collects about them and how it is used.
• Access the specific pieces of personal information the business holds about them.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined by the statute.
• Be free from discrimination for exercising any of these rights.

Independent of whether the CCPA applies to us, if you are a California resident and would like to make a request of the kind described above, please write to sue@gilroyfamilylawyer.com. We will respond in good faith and, where the law applies, within the timeframes it requires. We may need to verify your identity before providing information.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for adults seeking legal representation or general information about the firm. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information through this website, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Third-party websites

This website may contain links to websites operated by others. Those websites have their own privacy policies and practices, and Saign Law, PC is not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Following an external link means you are leaving this site, and we encourage you to review the destination site’s policy before providing any information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site, our practices, or the law. When we do, we will revise the “Effective” date shown at the top of the page. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
