WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY

SOUTH FLORIDA BUSINESS ATTORNEY PLLC

Effective Date: August 9, 2026
Last Updated: August 9, 2026

SOUTH FLORIDA BUSINESS ATTORNEY PLLC (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you visit www.soflobusinessattorney.com (the “Website”), communicate with us through the Website, subscribe to our communications, or otherwise interact with us in connection with the Website.

This Privacy Policy applies only to information handled through the Website and related online communications. It does not govern information collected in the course of an attorney-client relationship where a separate notice, engagement agreement, or legal obligation applies.

1.- Important Notice About Attorney-Client Relationships

Visiting the Website, submitting information through a contact form, sending an email, or otherwise communicating with the Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after the Firm confirms in writing that it has agreed to represent you, ordinarily through a written engagement agreement.

Do not submit confidential, proprietary, time-sensitive, or privileged information through the Website unless the Firm has specifically authorized you to do so. Information sent before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be treated as confidential or privileged, and the Firm may be unable to represent you if your information creates a conflict of interest.

2.- Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect the following categories of information:

A. Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Your name, company, title, mailing address, email address, and telephone number;
  • Information submitted through a contact, consultation-request, newsletter, event-registration, or other Website form;
  • Information about your business, proposed transaction, contract, legal inquiry, or reason for contacting the Firm; and
  • Any other information you choose to provide.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • Browser type, device type, operating system, and device identifiers;
  • Referring and exit pages;
  • Pages viewed, links selected, and dates and times of access;
  • General location derived from an Internet Protocol address; and
  • Information collected through cookies, pixels, tags, logs, analytics tools, and similar technologies.

C. Information From Other Sources

We may receive information from third parties, such as referral sources, professional directories, event organizers, social-media platforms, analytics providers, marketing providers, and publicly available sources. We may combine that information with information collected through the Website.

3.- How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the Website to:

  • Respond to inquiries and consultation requests;
  • Evaluate whether the Firm can accept a potential engagement, including performing conflict checks;
  • Provide legal services after an attorney-client relationship has been established;
  • Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Website;
  • Communicate about the Firm’s services, publications, events, and legal developments, subject to applicable law and your communication preferences;
  • Understand Website use and measure the effectiveness of our content and communications;
  • Prevent fraud, misuse, security incidents, and other unlawful activity;
  • Protect the rights, property, safety, and operations of the Firm, its personnel, clients, Website users, and others;
  • Comply with legal, regulatory, professional-responsibility, recordkeeping, and risk-management obligations; and
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We may use information for another purpose disclosed when the information is collected or with your consent.

4.- Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential Website functions, remember preferences, understand Website traffic, and improve performance. Some cookies may be placed by service providers that assist with hosting, security, analytics, embedded content, scheduling, or other Website functions.

You may be able to limit cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect Website functionality. If the Website provides a cookie-management tool, you may use that tool to adjust available preferences.

5.- How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers. We may disclose information to vendors that support Website hosting, information technology, cybersecurity, communications, analytics, customer relationship management, document management, scheduling, marketing, payment processing, and similar operations. These providers are permitted to process information only for authorized purposes and subject to applicable contractual or legal restrictions.
  • Professional advisers. We may disclose information to accountants, insurers, auditors, consultants, and other professional advisers where reasonably necessary.
  • Legal and regulatory purposes. We may disclose information when required or permitted by law, court order, subpoena, legal process, or professional obligation, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or property.
  • Business transactions. We may disclose information in connection with a merger, reorganization, succession, sale of assets, financing, or similar transaction involving the Firm, subject to applicable legal and professional obligations.
  • With your direction or consent. We may disclose information when you direct or authorize us to do so.

We do not sell personal information for money.

6.- Communications and Marketing Choices

If you receive promotional email communications from us, you may unsubscribe by using the link in the message or by contacting us at mstevenson@soflobusinessattorney.com. Even if you opt out of promotional messages, we may continue to send non-promotional communications, including responses to your inquiries and communications relating to an existing professional relationship.

If you provide a telephone number, the Firm will use it to respond to your inquiry or for other purposes you authorize.

7.- Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information under our control. No method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using appropriate care when transmitting information electronically.

8.- Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to respond to inquiries, administer the Website, maintain business and professional records, comply with legal and ethical obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the Firm. Retention periods may vary based on the nature of the information, the context in which it was collected, and applicable requirements.

9.- Attorney-Client Information

Information collected after an attorney-client relationship is established may also be subject to duties of confidentiality, professional-responsibility requirements, engagement terms, litigation holds, and other legal obligations. If this Privacy Policy conflicts with an applicable legal or professional obligation concerning client information, the applicable obligation will control.

10.- Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to third-party websites, platforms, embedded content, or services. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, content, or practices of third parties. Your use of third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy notices.

11.- Children’s Privacy

The Website is intended for adults and business users and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Website, contact us at mstevenson@soflobusinessattorney.com so that we can evaluate and address the matter.

12.- State Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and subject to applicable thresholds, definitions, and exceptions, you may have rights regarding certain personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of your information, or to opt out of certain sales, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling.

To submit a request, contact us using the information in Section 17. We may need to verify your identity and authority before processing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law, subject to verification. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Certain information may be exempt from state privacy laws, including information maintained in connection with legal representation, information protected by evidentiary privileges, and information subject to professional duties. We may deny or limit a request where permitted or required by law and will provide an explanation when legally required.

California Residents

If California law applies to the Firm’s processing, California residents may have additional rights concerning personal information.

13.- Do Not Track and Preference Signals

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to those signals, the Website may not respond to them. Where applicable law requires recognition of a legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signal, the Firm will process that signal as required.

14.- International Visitors

The Firm is located in the United States, and information submitted through the Website may be processed and stored in the United States. If you access the Website from another country, you understand that applicable data-protection laws may differ from those in your location. The Website is not intended to solicit legal work in jurisdictions where the Firm’s attorneys are not authorized to practice or where doing so would violate applicable rules.

15.- Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated by other reasonable means when required by law. Your continued use of the Website after an updated policy becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.
