Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.
Some of these technologies are necessary for the website to function. Others may be used for analytics, performance measurement, advertising, or remembering visitor preferences.
Depending on the tools used on the website, cookies and similar technologies may allow us or our service providers to understand whether a visitor has previously visited the website, which pages were viewed, how the visitor reached the website, or whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit or inquiry.
Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Certain website features may not function properly if some cookies are disabled.
Where we provide privacy or cookie controls, we intend for the choices you make through those controls to be respected as described.
Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the website.
Analytics providers may collect information about your device and interactions with the website, including pages viewed, approximate location, referring sources, and other usage information.
We may use this information to improve the website, identify technical problems, understand visitor behavior, and determine which content is most useful.
Advertising and Retargeting
The Boyko Law Firm may use advertising platforms and related technologies to promote the firm, measure advertising performance, understand whether an advertisement resulted in a website visit or inquiry, and, where permitted, show advertisements to people who have previously interacted with our website.
Advertising providers may receive device identifiers, cookie identifiers, IP addresses, browser information, website activity, advertising campaign information, or similar technical information.
We do not intentionally provide advertising platforms with the contents of your legal inquiry, written description of your situation, or information identifying the specific legal problem you selected in a contact form for the purpose of targeted advertising.
Some privacy laws may use terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” to describe certain exchanges of information involving advertising technologies, even when no money is exchanged for personal information.
The Boyko Law Firm does not sell personal information to third parties for money.
Where required or where privacy controls are made available, you may be able to limit certain advertising or tracking technologies through the website's privacy settings or through settings provided by your browser or the applicable advertising platform.
Marketing Communications
The Boyko Law Firm may use contact information you provide to communicate with you about your inquiry and, where permitted by law, to send information about the firm, legal services, resources, news, or other topics that may be relevant to you.
Marketing communications are different from communications made for the purpose of responding to a request you submitted or communicating about an existing attorney client relationship.
You may ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time.
Marketing emails will include an available method for unsubscribing where required. If you receive marketing text messages, you may follow the opt out instructions included with those messages.
Your decision not to receive marketing communications will not affect your ability to contact the Boyko Law Firm or request legal services.
Telephone Calls and Text Messages
If you provide a telephone number and authorize the Boyko Law Firm to contact you, we may contact you by telephone call or text message at the number you provided.
Calls or text messages responding to a request for information or consultation may be used to discuss the inquiry you submitted.
If the firm offers separate marketing text or telephone communications, any consent required for those communications will be requested separately where required by law.
Message and data rates may apply.
You may ask the firm to stop sending marketing text messages or otherwise revoke applicable consent using the method provided in the communication or by contacting the firm.
Consent to receive marketing communications is not a condition of hiring the Boyko Law Firm.
How We May Share Information
We may disclose information to service providers and vendors that perform services on our behalf or assist us in operating the firm and website.
These may include providers of:
- Website hosting and development
- Form processing
- Email and communications
- Telephone and text messaging services
- Data storage
- Analytics
- Advertising and marketing
- Cybersecurity and fraud prevention
- Customer relationship or case management systems
- Professional and administrative services
These providers may process information as necessary to perform services for the firm and are subject to their own legal and contractual obligations.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with applicable law, legal process, court orders, or regulatory requirements
- Protect the rights, safety, or property of the Boyko Law Firm, its clients, website visitors, or others
- Investigate or prevent fraud, security threats, or misuse of the website
- Exercise or defend legal rights
- Complete a business reorganization, merger, transfer, or similar transaction if one ever occurs
If the Boyko Law Firm cannot assist with a particular matter and believes another attorney may be able to do so, information will not be intentionally shared with another attorney or law firm for a referral without appropriate authorization or another lawful basis.
Prospective Client Information
Contacting the Boyko Law Firm does not by itself create an attorney client relationship.
Information provided by prospective clients may also be subject to professional obligations that apply to attorneys independently of this Privacy Policy.
Because ordinary website forms, email, and text messaging may involve security risks, you should initially provide only the information reasonably necessary for the firm to understand the general nature of your inquiry.
Please review our Legal Disclaimer for additional information about contacting the firm and the creation of an attorney client relationship.
We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information for Money
The Boyko Law Firm does not sell lists of prospective clients, clients, website visitors, telephone numbers, email addresses, or other personal information to third parties in exchange for money.
This does not necessarily mean that every disclosure involving advertising or analytics is excluded from definitions such as “sale” or “sharing” under every privacy law. Certain laws define those terms more broadly.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights or choices concerning personal information about you.
These may include the ability to:
- Ask what personal information we maintain about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of certain information
- Opt out of certain marketing communications
- Limit certain advertising or tracking technologies
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Not every request or right applies in every circumstance. Legal, ethical, security, record keeping, or other obligations may require the firm to retain certain information.
You may contact us using the information at the end of this Privacy Policy to make a privacy related request.
We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before completing a request.
Advertising and Browser Choices
Your browser may allow you to block cookies, delete cookies, or limit certain forms of tracking.
Advertising companies may also provide their own privacy settings that allow users to control personalized advertising.
If the website includes a cookie or privacy preference tool, you may use that tool to change the available settings.
Changing a website preference does not necessarily remove cookies previously stored on your device. You may need to use your browser controls to delete previously stored cookies.
Data Security
The Boyko Law Firm uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures intended to protect information under our control against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
No website, electronic communication, storage system, or method of transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the internet or stored electronically.
Data Retention
We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate legal, ethical, security, recordkeeping, and business purposes.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, whether you become a client, the nature of the communication, applicable professional obligations, and legal requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it in accordance with our practices and applicable requirements.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults seeking information about legal services and is not directed to children.
We do not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information directly from children for marketing purposes.
If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website without appropriate authorization, please contact us.
Third Party Websites
This website may contain links to courts, government agencies, social media platforms, medical providers, legal resources, or other websites operated by third parties.
The Boyko Law Firm does not control those websites or their privacy practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected directly by a third party after you leave our website.
We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any third party website or service you use.
Social Media
The Boyko Law Firm may maintain profiles or pages on third party social media platforms.
Information you provide directly to a social media platform or information collected when you interact with the firm through that platform is also subject to that platform's privacy practices.
Interactions with social media features embedded on this website may allow the applicable platform to receive information about your browser, device, or activity.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, technology, our practices, advertising tools, or applicable requirements.
When we make changes, we will update the date shown at the top of this page.
We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
