The Whitten Legal Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how The Law Office of J. Gregory Whitten, PLLC, a/k/a Whitten Legal (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards information collected online from users of this website. It also describes the choices you have with respect to your personal information.

No Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, including our contact form or online chat, does not create an attorney-client relationship with Whitten Legal. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a written agreement signed by you and our firm and the payment of any required retainer and/or advance fee.

Please do not send us confidential, proprietary, or sensitive personal information (such as Social Security Numbers, financial account information, or detailed facts about your case) through this website. Any information submitted through this site is done at your own risk.

What Personal Information We Collect

We collect information about you in three ways:

1. Directly from You:
   When you fill out our contact form, participate in a chat, or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide your name, email address, phone number, and general details about your inquiry.
2. Automatically Through Our Web Server Logs:
   Our servers may automatically log information such as:
   • Your IP address and Internet service provider
   • Browser type and device information
   • Pages visited on our site and referring pages
   • Date, time, and duration of your visit
3. Through Cookies and Similar Technologies:
   Our website may use cookies and similar tools to personalize your experience, track usage patterns, and engage in ad retargeting. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but certain site features may not function properly if you do.

How We Use Your Information

• Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;

Any sharing is done consistent with our professional duties under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.

We may use third-party services (such as Google Analytics) to understand website usage. These services may collect information sent by your browser, including IP address and cookies.
