Privacy & website terms.
How we handle information submitted through this website and in the course of our practice.
Our commitment to privacy
Herbert Stover Law Office respects your privacy. This policy explains the types of information we may collect through this website, how we use it and the choices available to you. It applies to information submitted through our website and to general enquiries made by telephone or email.
Solicitor-client confidentiality is fundamental to our practice. Information provided in the course of a professional relationship is protected in accordance with applicable professional obligations and law.
Information we collect
We may collect information you choose to provide to us, including:
- Your name, email address and telephone number;
- The area of law you are enquiring about and the details of your message;
- Any documents or correspondence you send to us; and
- Basic technical information generated by your browser, such as the pages you visit, if such information is collected by our hosting provider.
Please do not send confidential documents or highly sensitive information through the website contact form. Until we confirm that we are able to act for you, information submitted through the form may not be protected by solicitor-client privilege.
How we use information
We use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry, assess whether we can assist you, arrange appointments, manage our practice and meet our legal and professional obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Disclosure
We may disclose information where necessary to provide legal services, to service providers who assist with the operation of our practice, where required by law or professional regulation, or with your consent. Service providers are expected to protect information in a manner consistent with this policy.
Website service providers
Our contact form is delivered by FormSubmit, an email delivery service. The office location map is provided by OpenStreetMap and is loaded only when you reach that section of the contact page. These third-party services may process technical information, such as your IP address, in accordance with their own privacy policies. If you prefer not to use the form, you can contact us by telephone or email.
Cookies and analytics
This website does not set advertising cookies and does not use analytics trackers. The OpenStreetMap embed may store technical data under its own policies. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings without affecting the rest of the site.
Retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, provide legal services, meet professional record-keeping requirements and comply with applicable law. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your choices
You may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you, subject to applicable law and professional obligations. You may also withdraw consent to certain uses of your information, although this may affect our ability to respond to your enquiry. To make a request, please contact us using the details below.
No solicitor-client relationship
Using this website, submitting the contact form or sending an email does not create a solicitor-client relationship. A relationship is established only when we have agreed to act for you and a written retainer has been put in place. The content of this website is general information and is not legal advice.
