How We Process Your Information

When you submit a form on this Site, your information is processed as follows:

  • Contact form submissions are received by the form-handling service of our web hosting provider, which stores the submission and notifies our office by email

All form data is transmitted using encrypted connections. Submissions are retained by our hosting provider so that our office can review them, and our office may delete them from that service at any time. Once the information reaches our office, it is managed according to our internal data handling and records retention practices.

Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party service providers to operate this Site. These providers may process your information solely in connection with the services they provide to us:

  • Web hosting provider: Our Site is hosted on a third-party platform that provides web hosting and form handling. This provider receives and stores form submissions and sends notification emails to our office.

We do not use any third-party advertising services, social media tracking pixels, or marketing automation tools on this Site. We do not integrate any third-party analytics platforms.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the personal information you provide to us, consistent with our obligations under the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), Fla. Stat. § 501.171.

These measures include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and this Site
  • Server-side processing of form data through encrypted functions
  • Restricted access to personal information within our office

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to maintaining safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we handle.

Data Retention

Information submitted through the contact forms on this Site is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for our legitimate business purposes.

If you become a client, information provided through intake forms may be incorporated into your client file and retained in accordance with the rules governing attorney records retention in Florida. Under the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, we are required to maintain client files for a minimum period after the conclusion of representation.

If you submit an inquiry but do not become a client, we will retain your information only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, after which it will be securely disposed of.

You have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal obligations requiring us to retain it (such as client file retention rules)
  • Withdraw consent to future communications from us at any time

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through this Site, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this Site, including through our contact forms or intake forms, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Auvil Walters Attorneys at Law.
