Privacy Policy

Who this covers

This website, gilawfirm.com, is run by Smith, Johnson, Allen, Krejci & Walsh (“we” and “us” below). This policy explains what the website collects, why, and the choices you have. It covers this website only.

What the website collects

• The contact form: your name, phone number, email address, what your message is about and your message. Please don’t include confidential details about your legal matter.
• Emails, calls and texts: if you contact us directly, we receive what you send, along with your contact details.
• Visit statistics: which pages are viewed, how quickly they load, and the website that sent you here (just its name, not the full address). A random visit code, kept by your browser only until you close the tab, groups one visit’s pages together. These statistics don’t include your name or use cookies.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics: Cloudflare counts page loads and how quickly they load, without cookies and without identifying you.
• Microsoft Clarity: to show where the website is confusing or hard to use, Clarity records how visitors scroll, click and move through pages, without names. It hides what you type into forms, and it uses cookies to recognize a returning browser. See Microsoft’s privacy statement.
• Content from other companies: Google Maps and Google Fonts load from that company’s servers, which receive your device’s internet (IP) address and may set cookies, under its own privacy policy.
• Technical information: like every website, the host receives your device’s internet (IP) address and browser type when you load a page, to deliver it and protect against attacks.
• Job applications: if you email us your résumé and cover letter, we use them only to consider you for a position at the firm.

How we use it

To reply to you and provide what you ask for, to keep the website working, secure and easy to use, to block spam, and to keep reasonable business records.

We don’t sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising.

Services that help run the website

These providers handle information only to provide their service:

• Cloudflare: hosts the website, protects it from attacks, and provides Cloudflare Web Analytics.
• Dana Wright Co. (DanaWright.co): builds and manages the website. Form messages are stored in its client dashboard and passed on to us, and its notification and reply emails are sent through Resend. The visit statistics described above are kept there too.
• Microsoft: Clarity, as described above.
• Google: Google Maps, Google Fonts.

Cookies

The website itself doesn’t use cookies to identify you. Microsoft Clarity and Google (through the map on the Contact page) may set cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the website still works without them.

How long it’s kept

Messages and contact details are kept only as long as we need them to reply, to do the work you ask for, and to keep reasonable business records. You can ask us to delete them at any time.

Visit statistics are kept to compare traffic over time; they don’t identify you. Microsoft and Google keep their data under their own retention settings.

Your choices and rights

You can ask what information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or ask us to stop using it. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under your state’s privacy law. We’ll respond within 30 days.

Keeping it safe

The website uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and access to messages is limited to the people who need them, including the people who run the website for us. No internet service is perfectly secure, so please don’t send sensitive information such as Social Security, bank or card numbers through the website.

Children

The website isn’t meant for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has sent us information, please let us know and we’ll delete it.

Sending files to the firm

The “Send Secure Files” link takes existing clients to the firm’s ShareFile portal, a separate file-sharing service. Files you send there go to the firm through ShareFile, under ShareFile’s own terms and privacy policy, and don’t pass through this website.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
