This policy describes the information this website collects, why it is collected, who it is shared with and the choices you have. It applies to theandrewslawfirm.net and to messages sent through its forms. It is written to meet the California Online Privacy Protection Act (Business and Professions Code §§22575–22579).

3. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site’s servers record technical information when pages load: IP address, browser type, device type, the pages visited, the referring page and the date and time of the visit. The site may also use cookies and similar technologies for security, performance and, if enabled, to measure visits in aggregate.
4. Third-party services on this website
Some features are provided by third parties that receive information directly from your browser when the feature loads, under their own privacy policies:
- Google Maps, for embedded maps of the office and the communities the firm serves
- Google Fonts, for the typefaces used on the site
- A Google reviews widget, which displays reviews from the firm’s Google Business Profile
- Content delivery, caching and security services that help the site load quickly and resist attacks
- A translation service, if translated versions of the site are offered
5. How information is used
Information you provide is used to respond to your request, schedule a consultation, check for conflicts of interest as California’s rules of professional conduct require before a lawyer accepts a matter, and keep a record of the contact. Technical information is used to operate, secure and improve the website.
6. How information is shared
The firm does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Information is shared only with service providers that help operate the website and the firm’s email, when required by law or court order, or to protect the rights and safety of the firm and others.
7. Do Not Track signals
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, this website does not currently respond to Do Not Track signals. Third-party services described above may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites.
8. Cookies and your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some features work, such as embedded maps or the reviews widget.
9. Confidentiality and the attorney–client relationship
Sending a message through this website does not create an attorney–client relationship. The firm treats information from prospective clients as confidential, as California Rule of Professional Conduct 1.18 requires, but please do not send confidential documents or details until the firm confirms how to transmit them.
10. How long information is kept
Consultation requests and related correspondence are kept as long as needed to respond, to maintain the conflict-check records a law firm must keep and to meet legal and professional obligations. Technical logs are kept for a limited period for security and maintenance.
11. Security
The firm uses reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information submitted through the website. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
12. Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and the firm does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website.
13. Your California privacy rights
California residents may ask whether the firm has disclosed personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes (Civil Code §1798.83). The firm does not make such disclosures. You may also ask to review, correct or delete personal information the firm holds about you, subject to the firm’s legal and professional record-keeping obligations.
