Privacy Policy
1) Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how this website collects, uses, and shares information when you visit the site, use contact forms, request a consultation, or submit an intake form. Squarespace provides the website hosting and may collect certain data automatically when you visit a Squarespace-hosted site.
2) Information we collect
A) Information you provide
You may provide information when you:
Submit a contact form, consultation request, or newsletter sign-up
Schedule time with us through a scheduling link
Submit the expert case review intake form
This information may include your name, email, phone number, organization, role, and any information you choose to include in your message.
B) Intake form and sensitive information
If you submit an intake form related to medicolegal review, provide only the minimum information necessary for an initial review and conflict check. Do not submit full medical records, highly sensitive identifiers, or payment information through the form unless explicitly requested through a secure method.
C) Automatically collected information
Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect:
IP address and general location (city/region)
Device and browser information
Pages viewed, links clicked, and approximate time on site
Cookies or similar technologies used for site functionality and analytics
Squarespace describes categories of data it may collect in connection with sites hosted on its platform.
3) How we use information
We use information to:
Respond to inquiries and intake submissions
Schedule and manage appointments
Provide requested information about services
Improve site performance and user experience
Maintain site security and prevent fraud or spam
4) Scheduling and third-party services
If you schedule a meeting using Calendly (or another scheduler), information you provide through that tool is processed under the scheduler’s privacy practices. Calendly publishes a privacy notice describing its data handling and third-party tools it may use.
Depending on your choices and our site configuration, we may also use other third-party services (for example, analytics, embedded video, or email marketing). Those services may collect information directly from your browser.
5) Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and understand how visitors use it. Some cookies are necessary for site function. Others may be used for analytics or embedded content.
If you use a cookie banner, you can manage cookie preferences there. Squarespace provides cookie banner features for sites where consent is required.
6) How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
Website hosting and infrastructure providers (such as Squarespace)
Scheduling providers (such as Calendly)
Email and productivity tools used to receive and manage inquiries
Service providers who support website operations, analytics, and security
We may also share information if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the site.
7) Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. For sensitive materials (for example, case records), we use a separate process and do not rely on general website form submissions.
8) Data retention
We retain information as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to requests, maintain records, and comply with legal obligations.
9) Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights related to your personal data, including access, correction, deletion, or opting out of certain processing. Texas residents may have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (effective July 1, 2024).
To make a request, contact us at your business email. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
10) Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11) Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
