Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Clarke Law, P.A. ("we," "us," or "the firm") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or contact us through it. By using this website, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We collect information in two ways.

• Information you provide. When you submit our contact form, request a consultation, or sign up for our newsletter, we collect the details you choose to give us, such as your name, email address, phone number, and anything you include in your message.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect limited technical information such as the pages you view, your general location (derived from your IP address, which we do not use to identify you), the type of device and browser you use, and the website that referred you. We use Google Analytics to understand this in the aggregate. Analytics cookies are set only if you accept them in our cookie banner; if you decline, Google Analytics runs in a limited, cookieless mode.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• respond to your inquiries and provide the legal services you request;
• send you our newsletter or updates, if you have asked to receive them;
• operate, maintain, and improve this website; and
• meet our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

Cookies and analytics

When you first visit, we ask whether you will accept analytics cookies. If you accept, we use Google Analytics 4, which sets cookies to measure how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Google processes that information on our behalf. If you decline, or simply ignore the banner, no analytics cookies are stored and Google Analytics runs in a limited mode that does not identify you.

We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's cookies in your browser, which brings the banner back. Cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work may be used without consent.

How we share information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only:

• with trusted service providers who help us run this website and communicate with you, such as our website host, our analytics provider (Google), and our email and newsletter providers, who are expected to protect it;
• when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to meet our professional and ethical obligations; and
• to protect the rights, safety, or property of the firm or others.

No attorney-client relationship

Sending information through this website, including through the contact form, does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not protected by the attorney-client privilege until the firm has agreed in writing to represent you. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through this website until an attorney-client relationship has been established.

Data retention and security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law, and we use reasonable measures to protect it. No method of transmitting information over the internet is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices

You can decline analytics cookies in the banner when you first visit, or withdraw your consent later by clearing this site's cookies. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time using the link in any email. You may also ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have given us by contacting us using the details below, and we will respond as required by applicable law.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Third-party links

This website and our articles link to third-party resources, such as Florida statutes and court materials, for your convenience. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those external websites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows the most recent version, and changes take effect when posted.
