Privacy Policy

DMV & Associates ("DMV & Associates," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or otherwise interact with us online. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, you should not use our website. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through our website and any online forms, contact features, or email links that connect you with DMV & Associates. It does not govern information collected through offline channels, in-person meetings, or during the course of an attorney-client relationship, which may be subject to additional confidentiality and ethical obligations. We may collect personal information that you choose to provide, including your name, contact information such as email address, phone number, and mailing address, basic information about your potential legal matter, and any other information you choose to include in messages or uploaded documents. You should not provide confidential, sensitive, or privileged information through our website forms, and submitting information through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship. When you visit our website, we may also automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed and links clicked, and the date and time of your visit. We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect this information. We may use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries and communications, evaluate whether we are able to represent you in a legal matter, operate, maintain, and improve our website and user experience, monitor and analyze usage trends and website performance, comply with applicable laws, regulations, and ethical obligations, and protect the rights, property, or safety of DMV & Associates, our clients, and others. If we enter into an attorney-client relationship with you, some of your information will become part of your client file and will be handled in accordance with professional rules of conduct and any applicable engagement agreement. We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information with third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data storage, analytics, or email delivery, subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations; with professional advisors, consultants, co-counsel, or other professionals when reasonably necessary in connection with a legal matter, subject to our ethical obligations and any applicable engagement agreement; as required by law, court order, or government request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of DMV & Associates, our clients, or others; and in connection with a merger, reorganization, or other change in control involving our firm, subject to the same or comparable privacy protections. We may use cookies and similar technologies to recognize your browser or device, remember your preferences, analyze how visitors use our website, and improve site performance and security. You can usually configure your browser to refuse cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent, but some parts of the website may not function properly if you disable cookies. We may also use third-party analytics tools that collect information about your use of the website and help us understand how visitors interact with our site so that we can improve our services and website functionality. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information we collect through our website, but no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using appropriate caution when sending information over the internet and for safeguarding any passwords or access credentials associated with your use of our site. We retain personal information collected through our website for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with legal or ethical obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. If an attorney-client relationship is established, we may retain information in your client file in accordance with our document retention policies and applicable professional rules. You may opt out of promotional or informational emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in the email or by contacting us directly, though we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as messages related to an ongoing matter. You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, which may affect the functionality of certain features on our website. You may also contact us to request access to or correction of personal information you have provided, subject to our legal and ethical obligations. Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" feature that sends signals to websites, but our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as required by law. Contacting us through the website or submitting information using an online form does not create an attorney-client relationship with DMV & Associates. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have cleared conflicts, agreed to representation, and entered into a written engagement agreement. You should not send confidential or privileged information to us until an attorney-client relationship has been established, and information submitted through the website may not be treated as confidential if we do not agree to represent you. Our website may include links to third-party websites or services that are not operated or controlled by DMV & Associates, and this Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or security of any third-party websites, and you should review the privacy policies of any sites you visit. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws, and if you are a resident of a state that provides specific privacy rights, you may contact us to inquire about any rights you may have and how to exercise them; we will respond in accordance with applicable law and our legal and ethical obligations. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, and if we make material changes, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice as required by law. Your continued use of the website after any changes are posted will signify your acceptance of the updated Policy. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, or if you would like to update or correct your information, please contact us at DMV & Associates
