Privacy Policy

[ATTORNEY TO REVIEW] This Privacy Policy explains how The Law Offices of George L. Fernandez APC (“we,” “us”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit fernandezlawca.com or contact us through it.

Information We Collect

• Information you provide: your name, phone number, email address, the type of legal matter, preferred appointment time and any message you submit through our contact form, chat widget, email or phone.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored by your browser that help the site work, remember your cookie choice and measure site use.
• Analytics: we may use Google Analytics 4 to collect information such as pages visited, time on site, device and browser type, approximate location and referring website. This information is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.

How We Use Information

• To respond to your inquiry and schedule consultations.
• To check for conflicts of interest before accepting a matter.
• To communicate with you by phone, text message or email about your inquiry.
• To operate, secure and improve this website.
• To comply with legal and professional obligations.

How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run our practice and this website — for example, our website host, our customer-relationship management (CRM) and form provider, our chat provider and our analytics provider — and only as needed for them to perform those services. We may also disclose information when required by law.

Data Retention

We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you, evaluate potential conflicts and meet our legal and professional record-keeping obligations, and then delete or de-identify it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information. No website or internet transmission is completely secure, so please do not send confidential case details through the website before an attorney-client relationship has been established.

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), to the extent those laws apply to us. These may include the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use and disclose;
• Request deletion or correction of your personal information;
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information); and
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To make a request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Communication Consent

By submitting your phone number or email through our forms or chat, you agree that we may contact you about your inquiry by phone, text message or email. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, or by telling us you no longer wish to be contacted.

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information online.
