Grealish McZeal PC (“the Firm,” “we,” “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through grealishmczeal.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have.
The Firm is a commercial litigation practice headquartered at 700 Louisiana St., 48th Floor, Houston, TX 77002, with a satellite office at 21 Pond Street, Hyde Park, MA 02136. This policy applies only to information collected through the Site. It does not govern information exchanged in the course of a legal representation, which is protected by our professional and ethical obligations of confidentiality.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you use the “Schedule an Appointment” form or contact us through the Site, we collect the information you choose to provide:
Name
Phone number
Email address
The type of legal matter you select
Any message you write
If you email or call us using the contact details on the Site, we receive whatever information you include.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our web host and site software may record basic technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used to keep the Site running securely and is not used to identify you personally.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting a form, sending an email, or calling the Firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. That relationship begins only when the Firm agrees in writing to represent you.
Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through the Site until we have confirmed that we can represent you and that no conflict of interest exists. Information you send before then may not be treated as privileged or confidential. The content of this Site is general information, not legal advice.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you submit to:
Respond to your inquiry and schedule consultations
Run conflict-of-interest checks required by our professional rules
Communicate with you about a potential or current matter
Maintain and improve the Site and protect it from misuse
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not use it for advertising.
How We Share Information
We share information only as needed to operate the Firm and the Site:
Service providers that host the Site, deliver form submissions and email, or provide IT support, who may use it only to perform services for us
Legal requirements, when required by law, court order, subpoena, or rules of professional conduct
Protection of rights, to protect the safety, rights, or property of the Firm, our clients, or others
Cookies
The Site may use essential cookies needed for it to load and function properly. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the Site may not work as intended.
Data Retention and Security
We keep form submissions and correspondence only as long as needed to respond to you, meet our legal and professional record-keeping duties, and resolve any disputes. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Links
The Site links to outside sites, such as our LinkedIn page. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their policies before sharing information with them.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Choices
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information you submitted through the Site by contacting us below. We will honor your request unless we are required to keep the information by law or professional obligations.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the Site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
