Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 16, 2026

At Pinay Law, we value your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website (www.pinaylaw.com) and use our legal intake forms.

Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.
Case Details: Information regarding your family law matters (divorce, custody, support), estate planning needs, real estate transactions, or probate matters.
Sensitive Information: This may include details about your marriage, children (ages and counts), assets, and names of other parties for the purpose of conflict-of-interest checks.
Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage data collected via cookies and analytics tools to improve our website experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

Evaluate your potential legal case and perform conflict-of-interest checks.
Communicate with you regarding your inquiry via email, phone, or text message.
Provide the legal services you have requested.
Improve our website functionality and marketing efforts.
Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

3. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party vendors (e.g., email service providers, Google Sheets, or CRM systems) who assist us in operating our firm, provided they agree to keep this information confidential.
Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or other legal process.
Professional Consultation: With your consent, we may consult with other legal professionals regarding your case.

4. No Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information via our website intake form, email, or phone does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only formed once a written retainer agreement is signed by both you and a representative of Pinay Law. Please do not send highly sensitive or time-critical information until a formal relationship has been established.

5. Data Security

We implement a variety of security search measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
Request that we correct or delete your personal information.
Opt-out of future marketing communications.

7. Illinois Privacy Rights

As a firm located in Chicago, Illinois, we comply with relevant state privacy considerations. If you have specific questions regarding your rights under Illinois law, please contact us.
