Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 5, 2026
1. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how San Diego Family Law Advocates (the “Website,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit the Website, submit an inquiry, communicate with us, or use features relating to divorce and family-law matters. It applies only to information handled through this Website and related communications unless another notice expressly applies.
2. Information You Provide to Us
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including name, email address, telephone number, location, organization, property or matter details, free-form messages, preferences, and other information included in forms, calls, texts, emails, chats, uploads, or other communications.
3. Information Collected Automatically
We may automatically collect device, browser, IP address, approximate location, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, interactions, conversion events, and similar technical or usage information. This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, pixels, analytics tools, call-tracking systems, or similar technologies.
4. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, attribution, security, personalization, advertising measurement, and performance. Browser and device controls may allow you to block or delete certain technologies, although doing so may affect Website functionality.
5. Forms, Calls, Text Messages, and Communications
When you submit a form, call, text, email, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect the contents and metadata of that communication and use it to respond, route the inquiry, provide requested information, improve operations, and maintain records.
6. How We Use Information
We may use information to operate and improve the Website; respond to inquiries; facilitate requested introductions; provide customer or intake support; analyze traffic and marketing performance; detect fraud or abuse; comply with law; enforce our terms; and protect users, providers, and the Website.
7. How We Share Information
We may disclose information to service providers, professional or business partners, providers relevant to your inquiry, analytics and advertising vendors, communications vendors, hosting and security providers, professional advisers, authorities when legally required, and parties involved in a business transaction. We do not disclose information for purposes inconsistent with this Policy without an appropriate legal basis.
8. Service Providers and Technology Vendors
We may use third-party vendors for hosting, analytics, communications, call tracking, CRM, forms, security, advertising, automation, and other operational functions. These providers may process information on our behalf or under their own terms, depending on the service.
9. Marketing and Professional Relationships
San Diego Family Law Advocates may maintain marketing, advertising, intake, technology, or other lawful business relationships with attorneys and law firms. Information may be used to facilitate contact with an appropriate legal-services provider. Nothing in this Policy states or implies that any arrangement exists that would violate applicable rules governing attorney advertising, recommendations, referrals, fee sharing, solicitation, or professional independence.
10. Lead Routing, Referrals, and Introductions
If you ask to be contacted about a legal matter, we may transmit the information you provide to one or more attorneys, law firms, intake providers, or related service providers that may evaluate the inquiry. Submission does not guarantee that any attorney will contact you or agree to represent you.
11. Sensitive Information
Legal inquiries can contain highly sensitive facts. Please do not submit unnecessary confidential information, privileged communications, Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, medical records, or other highly sensitive material through a general website form. Information submitted before an attorney agrees to represent you may not be protected by an attorney-client relationship.
12. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Tools
We may use artificial intelligence, automated classification, transcription, summarization, routing, quality-control, or similar tools to assist with Website operations and communications. Automated tools may make mistakes and are not a substitute for professional judgment where professional advice is required.
13. Advertising and Measurement
We may use advertising, analytics, attribution, and measurement tools to understand how users find and interact with the Website and to evaluate campaigns. These technologies may collect identifiers and interaction data subject to applicable law and available privacy choices.
14. Do Not Sell or Share Requests and Opt-Out Choices
Where applicable law gives you a right to opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising, you may exercise that right by contacting us at the address below or using any Website privacy control made available for that purpose. We will honor legally valid browser-based opt-out signals where required.
15. State Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or information about certain disclosures or uses of personal information, and to appeal certain decisions. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
16. California Privacy Rights
California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, subject to statutory definitions, exemptions, and thresholds. Where applicable, rights may include knowing categories and specific pieces of personal information, requesting deletion or correction, and opting out of sale or sharing. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
17. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business and compliance records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, fraud prevention, and satisfying legal obligations. Retention periods vary by data type and context.
18. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, and you provide information electronically at your own risk.
19. Children's Privacy
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through general Website services. If we learn that such information was collected inappropriately, we may delete it as required by law.
20. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may link to third-party websites, applications, providers, or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for their content, security, or privacy practices.
21. International Visitors
The Website is primarily intended for users in the United States. If you access it from another jurisdiction, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where service providers operate, subject to applicable law.
22. Email and SMS Preferences
You may opt out of non-essential marketing emails by using an unsubscribe mechanism where provided or contacting info@aggressivefamilylawattorneys.com. You may opt out of marketing texts by replying STOP where supported. Transactional, administrative, or legally required communications may still be sent.
23. Call Recording and Monitoring
Calls may be monitored or recorded for quality assurance, training, documentation, security, intake, attribution, or compliance where permitted by law. Where consent is legally required, recording should occur only with the required notice or consent.
24. Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights
We may preserve, use, or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, regulatory requirements, enforce agreements, investigate suspected misconduct, protect rights or safety, prevent fraud, or respond to lawful government requests.
25. Business Transfers
If the Website, business, assets, or operations are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.
26. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on the Website with an updated effective or last-updated date. Continued use after an update is subject to the revised Policy to the extent permitted by law.
