Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the website operated by The Law Offices of William J. Golding, P.C.
Information we collect
If you use the contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide, including your first name, last name, email address, phone number, and message. Please do not send confidential or sensitive legal information until the firm has agreed to represent you.
The website and its service providers may also process basic technical information, such as IP address, approximate location, browser and device information, referring pages, timestamps, page requests, interactions, and security signals needed to operate, measure, and protect the website.
How we use information
- To review and respond to inquiries.
- To evaluate requests for consultations and communicate with website visitors.
- To operate, maintain, and protect the website and prevent spam or misuse.
- To understand aggregate website traffic, page usage, and technical performance.
- To comply with applicable legal and professional obligations.
Service providers and external features
The website is hosted through AWS Amplify. Web3Forms processes contact-form submissions and delivers them to the firm. hCaptcha helps prevent automated or abusive submissions and may process device, browser, network, interaction, and security information. Google Analytics 4 helps measure website traffic and usage. Embedded Google Maps and other Google-hosted services may receive basic technical information when those features load.
These providers process information under their own terms and privacy practices. You may review the Web3Forms privacy information, hCaptcha Privacy Policy, and Google Privacy Policy.
We do not sell or rent personal information submitted through the contact form. Information may be shared with service providers that operate the website or deliver messages, or when disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect legal rights or security.
Cookies and browser storage
This website uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may use first-party cookies, including _ga and related identifiers, to distinguish visits and produce usage statistics. This implementation uses the Google Analytics measurement ID G-T9H98KR5EY, disables Google Signals and ad-personalization features, and may record conversion events associated with visits to the contact page. Optional advertising and audience endpoints are not allowed by the website's security policy.
hCaptcha and embedded Google services may also use cookies or similar technologies for security and functionality. The contact form uses browser session storage to help prevent duplicate submissions. You can block or delete cookies through your browser or use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking analytics does not prevent you from reading the website or contacting the firm, although some third-party features may not work as intended.
Retention and security
Inquiry information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, evaluate the inquiry, maintain appropriate business records, and meet legal or professional obligations.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information you submitted through the website. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information when required by law or professional obligations.
Children and policy updates
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them through the contact form. We may update this policy when the website, service providers, or applicable requirements change. The date above shows the latest update.
