Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Ahmadpour Law ("Ahmadpour Law," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information through ahmadpourlaw.com (the "Website"). It applies to information collected through the Website and related communications initiated through the Website.

This Policy does not govern information handled in the course of an established attorney-client relationship, which may be subject to separate agreements, professional duties, and legal protections.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

When you submit the Website's consultation form or contact us, you may provide:

• first and last name;
• telephone number and email address;
• preferred contact time;
• type of legal matter;
• court-date information;
• professional-license status;
• urgency level;
• a description of your situation; and
• referral-source information.

You may also provide information during subsequent telephone or email communications.

Information collected automatically

When you use the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, such as browser, device, and operating-system information; pages viewed and Website interactions; referring and traffic-source information; approximate geographic information derived from network information; and cookie or similar technology identifiers used for site measurement.

The Website uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate Website traffic and interactions. Google Analytics may use cookies, including the _ga cookie, to distinguish visits and produce usage statistics. Ahmadpour Law has disabled Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals in its Website configuration.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• respond to consultation requests and other inquiries;
• evaluate whether and how to respond to a prospective legal matter;
• communicate with you at your request;
• conduct administrative or conflict-related review where appropriate;
• operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Website;
• understand Website traffic and content effectiveness;
• prevent fraud, misuse, or security incidents; and
• comply with applicable legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

We do not use Website analytics for advertising personalization.

4. Consultation Form and Attorney-Client Relationship

Do not use the Website to send information that is subject to an imminent deadline or requires immediate action. Although Ahmadpour Law takes reasonable steps to protect submitted information, confidentiality and attorney-client privilege cannot be guaranteed merely because information is submitted through the Website before an attorney-client relationship has been established.

5. Service Providers and Disclosures

We may disclose information to service providers that help operate the Website and process communications, subject to their applicable terms and privacy practices. These providers currently include Formspree for consultation-form processing, Google Analytics for Website measurement, and Netlify for Website hosting and delivery.

We may also disclose information when required by law or legal process; when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or Website security; in connection with a business reorganization or transfer subject to applicable obligations; or with your direction or consent.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use personal information collected through this Website for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. Cookies and Analytics Choices

Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies to measure Website use. You may limit cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some Website features operate.

You may review Google's Privacy Policy and use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on where available.

The Website does not currently respond differently to a browser's "Do Not Track" signal. Because Ahmadpour Law does not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, the Website does not currently offer a separate sale-or-sharing opt-out mechanism.

7. Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate business and legal records, protecting security, and satisfying applicable legal or professional obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. The Website is served over HTTPS, which encrypts information in transit between your browser and the Website. Form submissions are processed by Formspree, whose published security materials state that it uses TLS for network traffic and encryption at rest.

No Internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights concerning your personal information, such as requesting access, correction, or deletion. You may contact us using the information below to make a request.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. Certain information may be retained or withheld where permitted or required by law or professional obligations.

10. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us.

11. Third-Party Links

The Website may link to third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Policy.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on the Website with an updated effective date.
