How Big Dog Law handles personal information submitted through this website and related intake channels — what we collect, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
The short version
We collect information you choose to provide. That generally falls into a few categories:
Contact information
Your name, phone number, email address, and any preferred way to reach you.
Case facts
What happened, when and where, and the basic facts you share so we can evaluate whether we may be able to help.
Files and attachments
Photos, police reports, medical records, insurance correspondence, or any other documents you choose to upload or send.
Communications
The content of phone calls, emails, chat conversations, and form submissions you initiate with the firm.
Technical data
Standard server and browser information — IP address, browser type, referrer, pages viewed — collected automatically when you visit the site.
Respond to you
Evaluate your inquiry and follow up about potential representation.
Operate the site
Keep the website online, secure, and reasonably fast.
Improve service
Understand how visitors use the site and where it can be improved.
Stay in touch
Communicate about your matter, follow-up, or relevant updates.
Meet legal duties
Comply with court rules, ethical obligations, conflict checks, and recordkeeping requirements.
We do not sell personal information. We share information only when one of the following applies:
Service providers
Trusted vendors who support the site, intake, communications, and administration of the firm — and only as reasonably necessary for them to do their job.
Co-counsel and experts
If we accept your case, we may share relevant information with co-counsel, expert witnesses, medical providers, and others involved in working it up.
Legal compliance
When required by law, court order, or applicable rules of professional conduct.
With your direction
Anywhere else you specifically ask us to send your information.
This site may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, understand how visitors use it, and measure the effectiveness of marketing. You can manage cookies through your browser settings — most browsers allow you to refuse cookies entirely or to be asked before one is set.
If we use third-party analytics or advertising platforms, those providers may collect technical and usage information directly. We configure them to limit personal data wherever the platform allows.
Access
You can ask us what personal information we have collected about you.
Correction
You can ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
Deletion
You can ask us to delete personal information, subject to legal and ethical recordkeeping rules that may require retention.
Opt out of marketing
You can opt out of any non-essential email by replying with "unsubscribe" or following the link in the message.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information you provide. No website, system, or transmission is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we ever become aware of a security incident affecting your information, we will follow applicable law in notifying you.
Reading this site, downloading materials, or sending us information through this website does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship is formed only after both you and the firm sign a written engagement agreement. See our disclaimer for additional detail.
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information through the site, contact us and we will delete it.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. Material changes will be reflected on this page; continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
Questions about this privacy policy can be sent through our contact page. If your question is about a specific submission you've made through this site, include the approximate date and the email address you used so we can locate it.
