Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Argos Law, we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- We don’t share your personal information except to comply with the law, provide our legal services, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information unless required for the ongoing operation of our website or client inquiry processes.
- We strive to be transparent about how information is collected, used, and protected.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Argos Law collects non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Argos Law’s purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how visitors use our website and to improve its performance and usability.
Argos Law may also collect technical information such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in connection with website security, analytics, and form submissions. This information is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Gathering of Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
Certain visitors to Argos Law’s website choose to interact with us in ways that require the collection of Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”). The amount and type of information collected depends on the nature of the interaction.
For example, visitors who submit an inquiry through our website contact form may be asked to provide information such as their name, email address, phone number, and details relevant to their legal inquiry. Argos Law collects this information solely for the purpose of responding to inquiries, evaluating potential representation, and providing legal services.
Submission of information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only through a written engagement agreement signed by Argos Law.
Visitors may always refuse to supply Personally Identifiable Information; however, doing so may prevent them from submitting an inquiry or receiving a response.
Aggregated Statistics
Argos Law may collect and analyze aggregated statistics regarding website usage, such as page views or traffic patterns, to improve our website and services. These statistics do not include Personally Identifiable Information.
Protection of Personally Identifiable Information
Argos Law discloses potentially personally identifying and Personally Identifiable Information only to employees, contractors, or service providers who:
- Need to know that information to operate the website or respond to inquiries on Argos Law’s behalf; and
- Are subject to confidentiality obligations.
Argos Law does not rent or sell Personally Identifiable Information. We may disclose such information only when required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Argos Law, our clients, or others.
Argos Law takes reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of Personally Identifiable Information.
Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of data that a website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Argos Law uses cookies and similar technologies to support basic website functionality, analytics, and user experience.
Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers may set their browsers to refuse cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain website features.
Advertising and Analytics
Argos Law does not currently serve paid advertisements. However, we may use third-party advertising and analytics services in the future to promote our services and understand website usage. These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements or analytics.
This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Argos Law and does not cover the practices of third-party advertisers or analytics providers. Visitors may opt out of certain targeted advertising by adjusting their browser settings or through applicable third-party opt-out tools.
Business Transfers
If Argos Law, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Argos Law ceases operations, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable confidentiality and legal obligations.
Privacy Policy Changes
Although most changes are likely to be minor, Argos Law may update this Privacy Policy from time to time at its sole discretion. We encourage visitors to review this page periodically. Continued use of this website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
