Privacy Policy

Effective date: 11-12-2025

Zacarese & Zalewski P.C. (“we,” “us,” “our”) provides this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website or contact us about legal services.

1. Information we collect

• You provide: name, phone, email, city/county, court date and judge (if any), brief case description, documents you upload, and preferred contact times.
• Automatically: IP address, device/browser, pages visited, time on page, referring URL, and general location (via analytics).
• From others (occasionally): public records or referral sources.

2. How we use information

• Respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations.
• Evaluate potential representation and potential conflicts.
• Operate, secure, and improve our website (analytics, debugging).
• Comply with legal/ethical obligations.

3. No attorney-client relationship by form submission
Submitting information through our forms, email, or phone does not create an attorney-client relationship. We must first check for conflicts and agree in writing to represent you.

4. Communications
By providing a phone number or email, you consent to receive calls, emails, or texts related to your inquiry. You can opt out by replying “STOP” (texts) or using unsubscribe links in emails.

5. Disclosure of information
We do not sell personal information. We may share with:

• Service providers (website hosting, email, analytics, call routing) under confidentiality obligations.
• Authorities if required by law or to protect rights, safety, or property.
• Successors in a business transition (subject to same protections).

6. Cookies and analytics
We use necessary cookies and, where enabled, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand site usage. See our Cookie Policy for details and choices.

7. Data retention
Contact form submissions and related communications are generally retained for as long as reasonably necessary for evaluation, compliance, or as required by law/ethics. Analytics data may be retained per provider settings.

8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. No system is 100% secure.

9. Children’s privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child provided information, contact us to request deletion.

10. Your choices

• Opt out of analytics cookies as described in the Cookie Policy.
• Update or request deletion of contact information by emailing us (subject to legal retention obligations).

11. Jurisdiction and international visitors
This site is controlled from New York, USA. If you access it from outside the U.S., you consent to processing in the U.S. For EEA/UK visitors, our lawful bases typically include consent (for marketing/analytics where required) and legitimate interests (responding to inquiries, website operations).
