Privacy Policy

Attorney Jeffrey C. Lavey (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website located at jeffreylaveylaw.com (the “Site”), how we use and share it, and the choices available to you.

This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information collected through this Site. If Attorney Lavey agrees to represent you, information provided in the course of that representation is governed by the attorney-client relationship and the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct, not by this Privacy Policy.

1. Information You Provide to Us

When you submit a contact form, text message, or email to the Firm, we may collect the personal information you choose to provide, which may include your name, phone number, email address, and a description of your legal matter. Depending on the nature of your inquiry, this may include sensitive information, such as details related to a medical condition, injury, criminal charge, or disability claim.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, certain technical information is automatically collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies, including your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. We use Google Analytics to collect and analyze this information in order to understand how visitors use the Site and to improve its content and performance. Google Analytics uses cookies (such as _ga and related identifiers) to distinguish visitors and recognize returning visitors. For more information about how Google collects and processes this data, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to: respond to your inquiry and evaluate your potential case; contact you by phone, text, or email regarding your inquiry; operate, maintain, and improve the Site; and understand how visitors use the Site through aggregate analytics. We do not use the information you submit through a contact form for any purpose other than responding to your inquiry, unless you separately consent to additional communications.

4. SMS/Text Messaging

If you provide a phone number, the Firm may send you text messages related to your inquiry. You may reply STOP at any time to stop receiving text messages. Message and data rates may apply.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information you provide with:

• Referral attorneys or co-counsel, when the Firm refers your matter to another attorney or associates with co-counsel, as described in our Terms of Use and permitted under the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct;
• Service providers who help operate the Site or process communications on our behalf, such as our web hosting provider and third-party form-processing service, each of whom is authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide these services;
• Google Analytics, which receives automatically collected technical information as described above;
• Legal or regulatory authorities, where required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm or others.

6. Cookies and Your Choices

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect certain features of the Site. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking specifically by installing Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information you provide, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. As described in our Terms of Use, information you share with the Firm by any method, including through the Site, by email, or by telephone, is not protected by the attorney-client privilege and is not guaranteed to be confidential unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been formed.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those websites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

9. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
