Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you:

• Submit the website contact form;
• Send us an email;
• Call the firm;
• Schedule a consultation; or
• Otherwise communicate with us.

This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, the general nature of your legal inquiry, appointment information, and any other information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit confidential, privileged, highly sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the website contact form.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the website, our website host and analytics providers may automatically receive limited technical information, such as:

• Your browser and device type;
• Operating system;
• Referring website;
• Pages visited;
• Approximate geographic location;
• Date and time of access; and
• General information concerning your interaction with the website.

We do not use website analytics to collect the contents of contact-form submissions.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the website to:

• Respond to inquiries;
• Schedule and conduct consultations;
• Determine whether the firm may be able to assist with a matter;
• Conduct preliminary conflict checks;
• Communicate with prospective and existing clients;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• Understand how visitors use the website;
• Detect or prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or security incidents;
• Comply with applicable legal, ethical, and professional obligations; and
• Protect the rights and interests of the firm and others.

Submitting information through the website does not obligate the firm to represent you.

3. Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidential Information

Using this website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, scheduling a consultation, or otherwise contacting Kellam Trademark Law does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only after the firm has confirmed that it can accept the representation and both the client and the firm have entered into a written engagement agreement.

Until that occurs, information submitted through the website may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Do not submit confidential information, sensitive personal information, or information concerning an imminent deadline through the website.

4. Cookies and Analytics

The website may use Google Analytics and similar tools to understand general website traffic and visitor interactions. These tools may use cookies or comparable technologies to collect information concerning website use.

Google Analytics may process information about your use of the website in accordance with Google’s policies. Additional information about how Google processes data from websites using its services is available at:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You may block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect the operation of some website features.

Kellam Trademark Law does not use information submitted through the contact form for third-party behavioral advertising.

5. Scheduling Services

The website may link to a Google Calendar appointment-scheduling page. If you use that service, Google may collect and process the information you submit according to Google’s own terms and privacy policies.

Kellam Trademark Law may receive information necessary to administer the appointment, such as your name, email address, selected appointment time, and any information you provide when scheduling.

6. Website Hosting and Service Providers

We may use third-party service providers to host the website, process contact-form submissions, provide scheduling services, maintain email and communications systems, analyze website traffic, or support other business functions.

These providers may process information on our behalf as reasonably necessary to provide their services. They are governed by their own contractual obligations and privacy practices.

7. Disclosure of Information

Kellam Trademark Law does not sell personal information.

We may disclose information:

• To service providers that assist in operating the website or firm;
• When reasonably necessary to respond to your request;
• With your authorization;
• To comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or other legal process;
• To comply with professional or ethical obligations;
• To investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats; or
• To protect the rights, property, safety, or legitimate interests of the firm or others.

We do not disclose information submitted through the website to third parties for their independent direct-marketing purposes.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business and conflict-check records, satisfying legal or ethical obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting the firm’s interests.

Limited information concerning an inquiry may be retained even if an attorney-client relationship is not formed.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information within our control. Nevertheless, no website, email system, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should not use the website or ordinary email to transmit highly sensitive, privileged, or time-sensitive information.

10. Your Choices

You may contact us to request that we review, correct, or delete personal information that you previously submitted through the website.

We may be unable to fulfill a request when retaining the information is reasonably necessary to comply with legal, ethical, recordkeeping, conflict-check, or professional obligations.

You may also control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

11. External Websites

The website may contain links to websites operated by government agencies or other third parties. Kellam Trademark Law is not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of external websites.

You should review the privacy policies of any external website you visit.

12. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults seeking information about legal services. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the website.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of the page.

Changes become effective when the revised Privacy Policy is published on the website.
