Overview
The Law Office of Lauren Rios ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit laurenrioslaw.com, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have regarding your personal information.
We collect information in three ways: directly from you, through web server logs, and through cookies. We use this information primarily to respond to your inquiries and to provide you with a helpful experience on our site. We do not share your personal information except as described in this policy.
By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: If you fill out the contact form on this website, we will ask for personal information such as your name, email address, and phone number. Only an email address is required. Please do not submit confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information through the contact form — such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial account numbers, or similar data. Submission of such information is at your own risk.
Web server logs: When you visit our site, we may automatically collect and store certain technical information in web server logs, including:
- Your IP address and Internet service provider
- Your general geographic location (city/state/country)
- The type of browser and device you use
- Pages visited, links clicked, and time spent on the site
- The referring page that brought you to our site
- Date and time of your visit
This information helps us administer the site, analyze usage patterns, and improve the visitor experience. It is not used to identify individual users.
Cookies: Our website may use cookies — small data files stored on your browser — to help personalize your experience and track site usage. You can configure your browser to notify you when a cookie is received or to disable cookies entirely. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features. You can learn more at allaboutcookies.org.
How We Use Your Information
Information you submit through the contact form is used solely to:
- Respond to your inquiry or schedule a consultation
- Perform a conflict-of-interest check prior to our initial call
- Communicate with you about your legal matter going forward
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to any third party. We do not use your information for advertising or marketing purposes, and we do not share it with data brokers or ad networks.
If you do not wish to receive future communications from us, you may opt out at any time by contacting our office using the information at the bottom of this page.
Contact Form & Formspree
Our contact form is powered by Formspree, a third-party form processing service. When you submit the form, your information is transmitted to and stored by Formspree in accordance with their privacy policy, available at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.
We access your submission through Formspree solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not use Formspree data for any other purpose, and Formspree does not use your information for advertising.
Formspree may collect certain technical data (such as IP address) as part of processing your submission. This is collected by Formspree under their own privacy practices, not by us.
Third-Party Services
Other than Formspree, we do not currently use third-party analytics platforms, advertising networks, or tracking services that collect personal data from visitors to this site. We do not partner with ad servers, retargeting services, or data brokers.
Our website may contain links to external sites. This Privacy Policy applies only to laurenrioslaw.com. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any linked third-party websites.
California Privacy Rights (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives you the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- Right to Know — You may request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected about you.
- Right to Delete — You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- Right to Correct — You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
- Right to Non-Discrimination — We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
- Right to Opt Out of Sale — We do not sell personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us by phone, email, or the contact form on this website. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.
California Do Not Track: Our website does not alter its behavior in response to Do Not Track (DNT) signals from browsers, as there is no uniform standard for how sites should respond to such signals.
When We May Share Information
We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information except in the following limited circumstances:
- With vendors or service providers (such as Formspree) who assist us in operating our website and communicating with you
- If we are unable to assist with your matter, we may refer you to another attorney or firm and share your contact information with your permission
- As required by law, court order, or regulatory authority
- In connection with a transfer of our business assets, such as a merger or acquisition
- When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others
Data Security
We take reasonable precautions to protect the information you provide. Our website is served over HTTPS, and form submissions are transmitted securely through Formspree's encrypted infrastructure.
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information submitted electronically. We encourage you not to share sensitive legal or financial details through the contact form.
Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through our site, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
If our information practices change in a significant way, we will post the updated policy here.
