Introduction

Thanks for visiting our website. The Law Office of Talya Tapley dba Tapley Law (“Company,” “the Firm,” “we,” or “us”) values your privacy, and we are dedicated to protecting you through this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy sets forth the Company’s policy with respect to the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide when you visit www.tapley.law (“the Website”), including:

  1. Any content, services, functionality, mobile applications, downloadable materials, forms, or educational resources; and
  1. When you interact with our advertising on Google search or on third-party websites, if that advertising includes links to this policy (“the Services”).

This policy does not apply to any information collected by any other means, including information collected by third parties or affiliates, including through any application or content that may be accessible from or linked to the Website.

Please read this entire Privacy Policy carefully before you begin using the Website. By using the Website you consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, your choice is to cease use of this Website immediately. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time and your continued use of this Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes.

This Privacy Policy governs your access to and use of www.tapley.law, including any content, functionality and services offered on or through this Website. It applies to information we collect on the Website and in email, text, or other electronic messages between you and the Website. When you access the Website, we will learn certain information about you, both automatically and through voluntary actions you may take during your visit.

Confidentiality of Client Information

This Privacy Policy governs information collected through the Website. It is separate from, and does not limit or modify, the Firm’s professional duties of confidentiality to its clients and prospective clients.

Information relating to the Firm’s representation of a client is protected by the attorney-client privilege and by the Firm’s professional duty of confidentiality, and is held to a materially higher standard than the practices described in this Privacy Policy. The Firm also owes duties of confidentiality to prospective clients who consult it about a possible matter, whether or not the Firm ultimately takes the matter on.

Even so, information you transmit to the Firm through the Website — including through any contact form, intake form, or email — may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege and may not be treated as confidential until an attorney-client relationship has been established. Please do not send confidential or sensitive information to the Firm until a written engagement agreement is in place. See our Terms of Use for further detail.

Advertising measurement and your inquiry. As described under Advertising and Conversion Tracking below, when you submit an inquiry through the Website, our advertising and analytics providers may record that a form submission or call occurred, together with technical identifiers and the page you submitted from. The substance of your inquiry is never transmitted to any advertising provider.

Children Under the Age of 16

Our Website is not intended for children under 16 years of age, and all Website users must be at least 18 years of age under our Terms of Use. No one under age 16 may provide any information to or on the Website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we learn we have received information from a child under 16, we will delete the information. If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided personal data to us through the Website or Services, please contact us at info@tapley.law and we will endeavor to delete the information from our database.

If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information, consistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

We collect and process data when you access our Website, fill out forms on our Website, complete a contact or consultation-request form, make a payment, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey, use the search feature, provide comments or other feedback, correspond with us, browse the Website, click one of our advertisements, or use or view our Website via your browser’s cookies.

  1. You may also provide information to be published or posted on public areas of the Website (“User Contributions”). Your User Contributions are posted on and transmitted to others at your own risk.
  1. The Website’s forms request only the information reasonably necessary for the Firm to respond to your inquiry and to perform a conflicts check. Please do not submit confidential information through any Website form.
  1. Automatic Data Collection
  1. As you navigate through our Website, we use automatic data collection technologies, including Google Analytics 4 and, when our advertising campaigns are active, Google Ads conversion tracking, to collect information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. This generally includes your internet connection, your IP address, your approximate location derived from your IP address, your traffic pattern through our Website, the type of device you use, your operating system, your browser type, referring URLs, the search terms or advertisement that brought you to the Website, and logs.
  1. The information we collect automatically is generally used for statistical and measurement purposes and does not by itself identify you by name. To the extent that you voluntarily provide personal information to us, our systems may associate the automatically collected information with your personal information.

How We Collect Information From You

The technologies we use for automatic data collection include:

  1. Cookies. Cookies are small files placed on your device that enable the Website or a service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and remember certain information. We use:
  • Strictly necessary and functionality cookies, which allow the Website to operate, remember your preferences, and secure form submissions; and
  • Analytics and advertising cookies, which collect information about your visit to our Website, the content you viewed, the links you followed, the advertisement or search that referred you, and information about your browser, device, and IP address.
  1. Server Logs. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our Website, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address.
  1. Web Beacons and Tags. Pages of our Website may contain small electronic files known as web beacons, and JavaScript tags supplied by Google, that permit the Company and its providers to access certain website statistics and to record conversions.

Analytics and advertising cookies may be set when you access the Website. You may refuse or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you may use the additional advertising and analytics opt-outs described under Your Choices About Advertising and Analytics below. If you block cookies, you may not be able to access certain parts of our Website.

Advertising and Conversion Tracking

We may advertise the Firm’s services using Google Ads. Our advertisements may appear on Google search results pages when a user searches for terms relevant to our practice. If you click one of our advertisements and visit the Website, Google Ads conversion tracking may record information about that visit and about whether it resulted in a measurable action, such as submitting a contact form or placing a call.

To do this, Google Ads may place or read cookies and similar identifiers on your device and collect information including your IP address, device and browser characteristics, the advertisement and search query that referred you, the pages you visited, and the date and time of a conversion. Google uses this information to report the performance of our advertising and to bill us. Google’s use of information it collects is governed by the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and by Google’s advertising terms.

What we do not do:

  • We do not use Google Ads remarketing, retargeting, or audience lists to serve advertisements to you after you leave the Website.
  • We do not upload customer lists, hashed email addresses, telephone numbers, or other contact information from our intake forms to Google or to any other advertising platform.
  • We do not use the substance of any legal inquiry you submit for any advertising purpose.
  • We do not permit our advertising providers to use information collected on our behalf for their own independent purposes, to the extent that use is within our control under our agreements with them.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use the Website. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects the categories of information described under Automatic Data Collection above. Our Google Analytics property may be linked to our Google Ads account so that we can attribute Website activity to our advertising.

Information collected by Google Analytics is transmitted to and stored by Google. Google’s use of that information is governed by the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Google provides information about how it uses data from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Third Party Use of Cookies

Some content or applications on the Website are served by third parties, including Google as our analytics provider and, when our advertising campaigns are active, as our advertising provider. These third parties may use cookies alone or in conjunction with web beacons or other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use our Website. The information they collect may be associated with your personal information, or they may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and other online services.

We do not control these third parties’ tracking technologies or how they may be used. You should consult the privacy policies of any such third party for more detailed information on their practices.

Email Information

If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received online, by mail, and by telephone.

Email is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not send private or confidential information to us by email. Doing so is at your own risk. See also the section titled Confidentiality of Client Information above.

Email Policies

We are committed to keeping your email address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third parties, and will not disclose your email address to any third parties except as allowed in the section titled How We Disclose Your Information.

In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, 15 U.S.C. sections 7701 through 7713, all commercial emails sent from our organization will clearly state who the email is from, provide clear information on how to contact the sender, and contain concise information on how to remove yourself from our mailing list.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials may opt out by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email. If you have trouble unsubscribing, email info@tapley.law. Unsubscribing from marketing email will not affect transactional or client-matter communications.

How We Use Your Information

We use personal information to present our Website and its contents to you, respond to your inquiries, perform conflicts checks, provide you with information about our services, carry out any engagement agreement between you and the Company, administer our business activities, carry out billing and collection, provide client service, understand visitors’ preferences, compile aggregate data about site traffic and interactions, measure and improve the effectiveness of our advertising, market our services, and in any other way we describe when you provide information to us.

We do not sell personal information or consumer data for monetary or other valuable consideration.

How We Disclose Your Information

As a general rule, we do not sell, rent, lease or otherwise transfer any information collected. Specifically:

  1. We may disclose aggregated information that does not identify any individual without restriction.
  1. We may disclose your personal information to service providers who perform business functions for us or on our behalf — including website hosting, email and marketing platforms, practice-management and billing software, payment processors, and advertising and analytics providers.
  1. We may disclose your personal information to a third party, including a collection agency or outside counsel, when necessary to enforce our Terms of Use or any other agreement between you and the Company, or to establish or exercise our legal rights.
  1. We may disclose your personal information to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including a subpoena or other governmental request. Where the information sought relates to the Firm’s representation of a client or a prospective client, the Firm will assert all applicable privileges and protections and will notify the affected person where permitted to do so.
  1. We may provide your information to any successor in interest in the event of a merger, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of the Company’s assets or business, subject to the Firm’s professional obligations governing the sale of a law practice.
  1. Do Not Track and Preference Signals. Most web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting, and some browsers and extensions transmit an opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). There is currently no uniform industry or legal standard for how these signals must be interpreted. The Website respects DNT settings in your browser. We refrain from monitoring your navigation across external online platforms. You can exercise meaningful control over advertising and analytics collection using the options described under Your Choices About Advertising and Analytics above, or by contacting us at info@tapley.lawwith any request regarding your information, which we will honor to the extent we are able.
  1. Our service providers may process information outside the State of California and, where their infrastructure is global, outside the United States.

How We Store and Protect User Information

  1. The Company has implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use and disclosure, including:
  1. Payment information is encrypted and processed by a third-party payment processor.
  1. Information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls.
  1. Information you enter on our Website is transmitted using Transport Layer Security.
  1. No transmission over the internet or by email is completely secure or error free. Please keep this in mind when disclosing personal information over the internet.
  1. We employ commercially reasonable methods to secure the information you provide and the information we collect automatically, including standard security protocols and working only with reputable third-party vendors.
  1. For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, the Company uses software to monitor network traffic and identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information or otherwise cause damage.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal, professional, and regulatory obligations, and to establish or defend legal claims.

Client files and records relating to the Firm’s representation of a client are retained in accordance with the Firm’s file-retention policy and the Firm’s professional obligations, which may require retention for a period of years following the conclusion of a matter.

Analytics and advertising data collected through Google Analytics is retained according to the retention period configured in our Google Analytics property.

Information that does not relate to an engagement, such as newsletter subscriptions or general inquiries, is retained until you ask us to delete it or we determine the value in retaining it is outweighed by the cost.

Your California Privacy Rights

  1. If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. To learn more, visit https://oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.
  1. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to access and delete certain personal information, to correct inaccurate personal information, to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. These rights are subject to exceptions, including for information we disclose to service providers so they can perform business functions on our behalf.
  1. In the preceding twelve months, we have not sold personal information for monetary consideration. We do not and will not sell your personal information.
  1. Sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. California law treats disclosing personal information to a third party for cross-context behavioral advertising as “sharing,” whether or not money changes hands. We do not use remarketing, retargeting, or audience lists, and we do not believe our planned use of Google Ads search advertising and conversion measurement constitutes sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. If we enable personalized advertising features in the future, we will update this policy and provide an opt-out mechanism.
  1. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@tapley.law

 

Your State Privacy Rights

If you are a resident of a state other than California with a comprehensive consumer privacy law in effect, that law may provide you with rights to confirm whether we process your personal information; to access, correct, and delete certain personal information; to obtain a portable copy of it; to opt out of processing for purposes of targeted advertising, sale, or certain profiling; and to limit or consent to the processing of sensitive personal data. The scope of these rights varies by state.

To exercise any of these rights, contact info@tapley.law.

Appeals. If we decline to act on your request, you may appeal by contacting us at info@tapley.law with the subject line “Privacy Rights Appeal.” We will respond in writing within the period required by applicable law, and if we deny the appeal we will tell you how to contact your state attorney general to submit a complaint.

Individuals Located Within the United Kingdom

  1. Restricted Transfers: Our Company may make a restricted transfer if the receiver is located in a third country or territory or is an international organization, covered by UK “adequacy regulations.” If there are no adequate regulations about the country, territory or sector for the restricted transfer, our Company should then find out whether you can make the transfer subject to ‘appropriate safeguards’ as listed in the UK GDPR. Before we rely on an appropriate safeguard to make a restricted transfer, we must be satisfied that the data subjects of the transferred data continue to have a level of protection essentially equivalent to that under the UK data protection regime. We do this by undertaking a risk assessment, which takes into account the protections contained in that appropriate safeguard and the legal framework of the destination country (including laws governing public authority access to the data). If our assessment is that the appropriate safeguard does not provide the required level of protection, we will include additional measures. Appropriate safeguards may be: (1) A legally binding and enforceable instrument between public authorities or bodies; (2) binding corporate rules as defined in Article 47 of the UK GDPR; (3) a contract incorporating standard data protection clauses recognized or issued in accordance with the UK data protection regime; (4) a code of conduct approved by the ICO; (4) Certification under an approved certification scheme; (5) a bespoke contract governing a specific restricted transfer which has been individually authorized by the ICO; or (6) Administrative arrangements between public authorities or bodies. If none of the criteria above apply for the transfer, we may still make the transfer if the transfer is covered by an ‘exception’ set out in Article 49 of the UK GDPR.

Your Data Protection Rights

Regardless of your state of residence, we aim to honor the following rights with respect to information collected through this Website:

  1. To be informed of what personal information we process, why, and with whom it may be shared.
  1. To access the personal information we hold about you.
  1. To correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  1. To request deletion of your personal information. This does not extend to information the Firm must retain under its professional file-retention obligations or to comply with law.
  1. To request that we restrict processing, such as while a dispute is resolved or information is being corrected.
  1. To portability — to receive information you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. We may charge a reasonable fee for repeat or excessive requests.
  1. To object to processing inconsistent with the purpose for which the information was collected, including direct marketing.
  1. Not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.
  1. Not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised a privacy right.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@tapley.law. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request, and we may require an authorized agent to provide proof of authorization.
