When you submit the contact form on this Site, your information is transmitted to our team and may be shared with a licensed attorney or law firm in San Diego County who will contact you to discuss your potential dog bite case.

All communications you submit through this Site are treated as confidential inquiries. However, until a formal attorney-client relationship is established, your communications do not carry attorney-client privilege.

5. Cookies & Analytics

This Site may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience and understand how visitors use the Site. Cookies do not collect personal information and do not identify you individually.

We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics to collect aggregated, anonymized data about Site traffic and user behavior. This data helps us understand which pages are most visited and how users navigate the Site. Google Analytics data is collected and processed in accordance with Google's own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to use the Site, though some features may function differently.

6. Third-Party Services

This Site uses the following third-party services, each of which may collect or process data in accordance with their own privacy policies:

• Web3Forms — processes contact form submissions and delivers them to our team. Web3Forms operates at web3forms.com.
• Google Fonts — provides web fonts used in the Site's design. Google may collect limited technical data when fonts are loaded.
• Google Maps — used to display a map of the San Diego service area. Google's data practices apply when the map is loaded.
• Google Analytics — used to collect anonymized traffic and usage data as described in Section 5.

We do not control the data practices of these third-party providers and are not responsible for their privacy policies or data handling.

7. Data Retention

Information submitted through the contact form is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and facilitate an attorney referral. We do not maintain permanent databases of visitor personal information.

Automatically collected technical data (such as analytics data) is retained in aggregated, anonymized form and is not associated with any individual visitor.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the information submitted through this Site. Contact form submissions are transmitted using industry-standard encryption (HTTPS). However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you submit.

We encourage you to avoid submitting highly sensitive personal information — such as Social Security numbers or financial account details — through the contact form.

This Site is intended for adults seeking legal information and attorney referral services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this Site, please contact us at the information below and we will promptly delete it.

11. Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regarding personal information we hold about you, including the right to request access to or deletion of your personal information.
