Who we are
Pinellas Family Lawyer (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates this website. Our website address is: https://pinellasfamilylawyer.com (the “Website”).
Important (law firm note): Contacting us through this Website, email, chat, or form submissions does not create an attorney–client relationship. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through this Website. An attorney–client relationship is only formed through a signed agreement and, where appropriate, a conflicts check.
What personal data we collect and why we collect it

We may collect personal information you choose to provide, such as:
- Name, email address, phone number

- Communications you send to us (emails, phone calls, voicemails)
Why we collect it: to respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, provide requested information, operate and secure the Website, and improve our services.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site (if comments are enabled), we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the Website (if enabled), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the Website can download and extract any location data from images on the Website.
Contact forms
If you submit information through a contact form or consultation request form, we may collect your contact details and the content you submit. We may also collect technical details associated with the submission (such as IP address, date/time, and device/browser information) to help prevent spam and protect the Website.
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through Website forms (for example, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or medical information).
Cookies and similar technologies

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Your choices: You can usually control cookies through your browser settings (including blocking or deleting cookies). If you disable cookies, some features of the Website may not function properly.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this Website may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, articles, maps, and other embedded items). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Some advertising features can involve interest-based advertising or remarketing. If used, these features rely on cookies and similar technologies to show ads to people who have previously visited our Website.

We may receive limited data from analytics, advertising, and webmaster tool providers (such as aggregated usage data, campaign performance data, and technical site performance information).
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Basic automated processing (such as spam filtering and security protections) may occur.
