C. Technical and Usage Information
Like most websites, we may automatically collect limited, non-identifying technical information, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, date and time of access, and general usage patterns.
This information is used to maintain site security, monitor performance, improve functionality, and protect against misuse or unauthorized access.
We do not use this information to identify individual visitors unless required for security or legal compliance purposes.
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
This Site may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance user experience and collect aggregate usage data.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They do not access unrelated data on your device and do not contain confidential information.
You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies. Certain features of the Site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
Advertising and Analytics Pixels
Certain pages of this Site, including our workshop registration pages, use the Meta Pixel, a tracking technology provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. (the company behind Facebook and Instagram). The Meta Pixel may collect information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, and actions you take on the Site, such as submitting a registration form.
This information may be shared with Meta and used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising, to show our workshops and services to people who have visited this Site, and to reach audiences with similar interests. This may involve creating advertising audiences based on your activity on this Site.
You can manage how this information is used through your Meta account ad settings and through your device or browser settings. You may also opt out of interest-based advertising through industry tools such as the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info).
3. How We Use Information
Information collected through this Site may be used for the following purposes: responding to inquiries, evaluating potential engagements, sending requested newsletters or educational materials, providing legal updates or firm communications (where consent has been given), maintaining and improving website performance, protecting website security, and complying with legal obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information.
We do not use submitted information for unsolicited mass marketing.
4. Information Sharing
We do not disclose personal information to third parties except as required by law, to comply with legal process, to protect the rights or safety of the Firm, or to service providers assisting with website hosting, email distribution, analytics, advertising and remarketing platforms (such as Meta), or technical support.
Service providers may have access to limited information only as necessary to perform their functions and are expected to maintain confidentiality.
5. Data Retention
We retain contact and subscription information only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain subscription records, comply with legal or regulatory requirements, and protect the Firm’s legitimate business interests.
Individuals may unsubscribe from email communications at any time.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to safeguard information submitted through this Site.

If you are a client of the Firm, you may choose to receive text messages from us through our secure client portal.

If you opt in, we may send account and case-management messages relating to your matter, such as consultation reminders, homework and task reminders, document requests, plan-status updates, funding reminders, and replies to questions you send us. Message frequency varies by matter. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message, or reply HELP for assistance. After opting out, you may still receive communications by email if email is your selected contact method.
Your mobile phone number and your text-messaging consent are never sold, rented, or shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes. This Site does not itself collect text-messaging opt-ins; opt-in occurs only within the Firm’s secure client portal at intake.helmslawgroup.com.
