Privacy policy And User Terms.

Posted October 21, 2024

Sexton Law PLLC (the “Firm”)  is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your/your organization’s (“you/yours”) confidential and/or personal information provided by you to the Firm. This policy describes what information we may collect and how we process personal information on the sextonartslaw.com website (the “Website”) and otherwise as we provide legal services to you as a current or potential client.

Collection and Use of Your Personal Information

Your personal information is that information that, alone or in combination with other information, can identify you, such as your name or contact information. 

There are several ways in which the Firm may obtain and use your personal information over the course of discussing your legal concerns. The primary way that we obtain your information is by you providing it to us directly through the Website, through emails, conversations, or through other correspondence. This may also take the form of your provision of documents or other materials in support of our work with you. 

We use your information in a variety of ways, but primarily to support the provision of legal services to you. This may include the initial assessment of our engagement with you prior to the start of providing services. Over the course of an engagement, we will continue to obtain information necessary to provide these services, to make notes and/or recordings of conversations (the latter solely with your knowledge and permission), to organize and store your information within the firm’s dedicated Google Workspace and secure hard copy files as necessary, and other digital or physical locations.

In certain situations, we may disclose your personal information with third parties where necessary, appropriate, and/or required by law. These situations may include:

  • Third party service providers providing services to the firm, such as our internet service providers and hosts, administrative vendors, and in some cases, providers which are specific to the services we are providing to you.  

  • Other law firms and/or lawyers with whom you request us to collaborate or whom we otherwise must collaborate with to provide our services. Any information which is provided pursuant to an attorney-client relationship will only be shared with necessary precautions to preserve the confidentiality and attorney-client privilege of such information. 

  • Governmental authorities as necessary to comply with laws, regulations, or other legal obligations.

  • As otherwise discussed with and consented to by you. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Firm will never sell or otherwise provide any third party your information for marketing purposes.

Protection of Your Information

The Firm uses all reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality and security of your information. Nevertheless, the Firm cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. Furthermore, we are not responsible for the security of networks that we do not control. 

The Firm will retain your information only for as long as - and to the extent - necessary to assess and provide services to you and in accordance with our retention policies and applicable laws.
