Privacy Policy
01 Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information when you visit or use our Site:
- Contact information — your name, email address, phone number, and any other details you voluntarily submit through our contact or intake forms.
- Communication records — messages, inquiries, or other correspondence you send to us via the Site, email, or phone.
- Technical and usage data — your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and general information about how you navigate our Site. This data is collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies.
We do not collect credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive financial information through our Site.
02 How We Collect Information
Information is collected in the following ways:
- Directly from you — when you fill out a contact form, submit an intake request, subscribe to our email list, or otherwise communicate with us.
- Automatically — through cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools as you browse our Site.
- From third parties — such as our intake management platform (Clio Grow) or other service providers used in connection with case evaluation and client communications.
03 How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and evaluate potential legal matters
- Communicate with you about your case or request
- Send periodic firm updates, newsletters, or legal news (with your consent)
- Improve the content and functionality of our Site
- Comply with legal and ethical obligations applicable to our firm
- Protect the rights, safety, and property of VKV and others
Submitting a contact form or inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship. No confidential information should be transmitted until such a relationship is established in writing.
04 Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses cookies — small data files stored on your browser — to understand how visitors use our Site and to improve your experience. We may also use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies to compile aggregate usage data.
You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may limit certain functionality of our Site. To opt out of Google Analytics tracking, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout .
We use Google remarketing features (such as Google AdSense and DoubleClick) to display relevant advertising to past visitors. You may manage your Google ad preferences at google.com/settings/ads .
05 Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers — vendors and contractors who assist in operating our Site or running our practice (e.g., website hosting, intake software), and who are contractually required to keep information confidential.
- Legal requirements — when required by law, subpoena, court order, or other governmental process.
- Protection of rights — when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of VKV, our clients, or the public.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of firm assets, subject to the same confidentiality obligations.
06 Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our Site uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption for data transmission, and access to stored personal information is restricted to authorized personnel.
In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law — generally within seven (7) business days of discovery.
No method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
07 Email Communications & CAN-SPAM
We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. Any marketing emails we send will clearly identify our firm, include our physical address, and provide a clear mechanism to opt out of future correspondence. We will honor unsubscribe requests promptly.
To unsubscribe, click the “unsubscribe” link in any email we send, or contact us directly at info@vkvlawyers.com .
08 Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
09 California Privacy Rights (CalOPPA)
In accordance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act, users who visit our Site may do so anonymously. If you are a California resident and wish to know what personal information we have collected about you, request deletion of that information, or opt out of any future sharing, please contact us using the information below. We will respond to all verified requests within a reasonable time.
We do not sell personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
10 Do Not Track
We honor Do Not Track (DNT) signals. When a DNT browser signal is detected, we will not plant cookies or engage in behavioral advertising tracking for that session.

Our Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites and encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before providing any personal information.
