Buckman, Buckman & Castellano, P.A. (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit www.buckmanestatelaw.com (the “Site”), how we use that information, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you complete a contact form, request a consultation, or otherwise reach out through the Site, we collect the information you choose to provide. This usually includes your name, email address, telephone number, and any details you share about your legal matter.

Information from our live chat. The Site may offer a live chat feature so you can ask questions. Anything you type into the chat, together with basic technical details about your session, may be collected and stored by us and by the third-party provider that operates the chat tool.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the Site automatically records certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, the links you click, and the date and time of your visit. We collect this information through cookies and similar technologies, described below.

Embedded content from other websites. Pages on the Site may include embedded content such as maps or videos. Embedded content from other websites behaves as though you visited that other website directly, and those sites may collect information about you, set their own cookies, and monitor your interaction with that content.

Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and to understand how visitors use it. We use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, that set cookies and collect information about Site traffic and visitor behavior in aggregate. This helps us improve the Site’s content and performance.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the Site function. To learn how Google Analytics handles data, please review Google’s own privacy resources.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share information with trusted service providers who help us operate the Site and run our practice, such as website hosting, form processing, live chat, and analytics providers. These providers may use the information only to perform services for us.

We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or applicable rules of professional conduct, or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Firm or others.

Please Do Not Send Confidential Information

Contacting us through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship, and information you send through a contact form or live chat is not protected by the attorney-client privilege unless and until we have agreed in writing to represent you. Please do not send sensitive, confidential, or time-sensitive information through the Site until an attorney-client relationship has been established. See our Attorney Advertising Disclaimer for more information.

Data Retention

We keep the information you submit for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, to carry out the purposes described in this Policy, and to meet our legal, professional, and recordkeeping obligations. Automatically collected analytics data is retained according to the settings of our analytics tools.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information collected through the Site against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no website or method of transmitting information over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
