Privacy Policy

Carolina Family Law Firm (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect throughcarolinafamilylawfirm.com (the “Site”), how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

This policy covers the Site only. It does not cover information the Firm collects offline, or information governed by the rules of professional conduct and the attorney-client privilege once you become a client.

Information We Collect

Information you give us

The Site currently offers one way to contact us: the form on our homepage. When you submit it, we collect the information you enter:

• Your first and last name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• The contents of your message — the question, situation, or request you describe

Please share only what is needed for us to respond. Do not send sensitive details or documents through the form. Until an attorney-client relationship is established in writing, information you send us isnot protected by the attorney-client privilege. SeeNo Attorney-Client Relationshipbelow.

Information collected automatically

When you submit the form, our server also records a small amount of technical information alongside your message:

• Your IP address
• Your browser's user-agent string (browser and operating system)
• The page you submitted from and the date and time of submission

We use this to help identify spam and abusive submissions and to troubleshoot delivery problems. Our hosting provider also processes standard server and security logs in order to deliver and protect the Site.

What we do not collect

The Site does not use analytics, advertising, social media, or tracking cookies, and it does not build advertising profiles. We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or health information through the Site — please do not submit them.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

• Respond to your question, request, or inquiry
• Schedule a consultation or appointment, if you ask us to
• Run a conflict-of-interest check before we can discuss a potential matter with you
• Provide legal services if you become a client
• Detect, prevent, and investigate spam, fraud, and abuse of the Site
• Maintain the security and reliability of the Site
• Comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations

We do not use your information to send marketing email unless you ask us to, and you can tell us to stop at any time.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else's advertising. We share it only as follows:

• Service providers. Vendors who operate the Site and handle inquiries on our behalf — including our website host and the intake service that delivers form submissions to us. They may use your information only to provide those services to us.
• Within the Firm. Attorneys and staff who need the information to respond to you or work on your matter.
• Legal and professional requirements. When we are required to disclose information by law, court order, subpoena, or the rules governing the practice of law, or where disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Firm, our clients, or others.
• Business changes. If the Firm merges with or transfers its practice to another firm, client and inquiry information may transfer as part of that change, subject to the confidentiality obligations that already apply to it.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

This is the most important thing on this page. Sending us information through this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship, and the information you send is not privileged or confidential until we have agreed in writing to represent you.

We may already represent someone with interests adverse to yours, which is why we run a conflict check before discussing a potential matter. Until you receive our written confirmation that we represent you, please do not send us confidential information, and do not rely on anything on this Site as legal advice. Nothing here is legal advice, and no deadline in your situation is paused by contacting us.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Our hosting provider may set strictly necessary cookies for security and to keep the Site running. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working.

Because we do not track visitors across sites, we have nothing to disclose in response to a browser “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal, and we honor those signals by default.

How Long We Keep Your Information

We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and to meet our legal, ethical, and recordkeeping obligations — including the obligation to check future conflicts of interest. If you become a client, your file is retained under the Firm's file-retention practices and the applicable rules of professional conduct. Technical logs are kept for a shorter period and then deleted or aggregated.

How We Protect Your Information

The Site is served over HTTPS, and form submissions are transmitted to us over an encrypted connection. We limit access to inquiry information to people who need it. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security — another reason not to send sensitive material through the form.

Your Choices and Rights

You may, at any time:

• Ask what personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate
• Ask us to delete your inquiry, subject to the recordkeeping and conflict-check obligations described above
• Ask us to stop contacting you

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state's or country's privacy laws, including the right to know what information we collect and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising your rights. Contact us using the details below and we will respond as the applicable law requires. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information through the Site, contact us and we will delete it.

Links to Other Websites

The Site links to websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices, and this policy does not apply to them. Please read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy as the Site changes or as the law requires. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Please check back from time to time.
