Our website does not currently use the Meta/Facebook Pixel. If Meta Pixel, Microsoft Advertising tags, Google Ads conversion tracking, remarketing tags, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or other advertising pixels are added in the future, those tools may be used to measure advertising performance, understand website activity, and support relevant advertising campaigns.

These technologies may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, or similar tools to collect information such as page views, interactions with website content, general device and browser information, referral source, and whether a visitor completed a form or other website action.

If additional advertising pixels, remarketing tools, or advertising tracking technologies are added in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect those changes.

Cookies, Tracking Technologies, and Similar Tools

Security tools may collect technical information such as IP address, browser information, login activity, request data, blocked access attempts, or other information needed to detect suspicious or harmful activity.

No website, server, email system, payment platform, or online transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that information submitted through the website will be completely protected from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

Comments and Public User Accounts

Our website is not intended to provide public visitor accounts or public comment areas for general website visitors.

If public comments or visitor account registration are enabled in the future, we may collect information submitted through those features, along with related technical information such as IP address, browser user agent, and spam-prevention data.

Media and File Uploads

General website visitors are not intended to upload images, documents, or media files directly to this website.

If file uploads are enabled in the future, uploaded files may contain embedded metadata, including location data or other personal information. Visitors should avoid uploading files with embedded metadata or unnecessary personal information unless the upload is specifically requested by the firm.

Who We Share Information With

We do not sell personal information collected through this website.

We do not share mobile phone numbers, text messaging opt-in data, or text messaging consent information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may share limited information with service providers that help us operate the website, respond to inquiries, maintain security, analyze website usage, process website-related communications, support online payment links, or provide business and professional services. These may include website hosting providers, email providers, form tools, CAPTCHA tools, analytics providers, chat and website behavior analytics providers such as Lucky Orange, search engine tools, security tools, SEO tools, performance tools, payment processors, website maintenance providers, and professional advisors.

If an attorney-client relationship is established, information may also be used or disclosed as reasonably necessary to provide legal services, comply with court rules or legal obligations, communicate with authorized parties, work with other lawyers or professionals involved in a matter, protect the firm’s rights, or fulfill ethical and recordkeeping obligations.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, legal process, government request, professional obligation, or to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of The Law Office of Knellinger & Associates, our website, our clients, or others.

How Long We Retain Information

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, including website communication, inquiry follow-up, conflict checks, website administration, legal compliance, accounting, security, and recordkeeping purposes.

Contact form submissions may be retained for administrative, follow-up, conflict-check, legal, or recordkeeping purposes unless deletion is requested and we are not required or permitted to retain the information for legal, ethical, accounting, security, or legitimate business reasons.

If you become a client of the firm, information related to your matter may be retained as part of the firm’s legal file and records. Those records may be subject to legal, ethical, professional, court-related, or law firm record-retention obligations, even if you later request deletion of website inquiry information.

Analytics, search-related, security, chat, and technical data may be retained according to the settings of Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, Bing/Microsoft tools, Lucky Orange, our hosting provider, security tools, and related website systems.
