Effective date: October 30, 2026
Clear Lane Counsel, P.A. (“Clear Lane Counsel,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through clearlanecounsel.com (the “Website”), our consultation forms, and our text message (SMS) program, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
- Information you provide. Your name, email address, phone number, the company involved in your matter, your contact preferences, and any description you choose to share when you submit a form, call, email, or text us.
- Communication records. Records of calls, emails, and text messages exchanged with us, including your consent to receive communications and any opt-out requests.
- Technical information. Basic information sent by your browser, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, which our website host and security tools may log to keep the Website secure and working.
Please do not send account numbers, Social Security numbers, documents, or other sensitive or confidential information through the Website or by text message before we have confirmed that we can represent you.
How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiry and schedule consultations.
- To send appointment reminders, scheduling updates, and other communications about consultations and legal services you have requested.
- To run conflict checks before agreeing to represent anyone.
- To operate, secure, and improve the Website.
- To comply with our legal and professional obligations.
Text messaging (SMS)
If you provide your phone number and/or email and check the consent box on our consultation form, you agree to receive text messages, emails, and telephone calls from Clear Lane Counsel, P.A. regarding consultations, appointments, and related legal service communications. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any service. Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Reply HELP for help, or contact us at (754) 444-7539 or gerald@clearlanecounsel.com.
We will not share mobile information with third parties or affiliates for promotional or marketing purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. Information may be shared only with service providers that help us deliver messages (such as our practice-management and messaging platforms), and only for that purpose.
How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share information only:
- With service providers who help us operate our practice and the Website, such as our practice-management software, website hosting, and email and messaging providers, who may use it only to provide services to us.
- When required by law, court order, or professional rules, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.
- With your consent or at your direction.
Confidentiality and no attorney-client relationship
Contacting us through the Website, by email, by phone, or by text message does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have completed a conflict check and both you and the firm have signed a written engagement agreement. We treat information from prospective clients with care, but please do not share confidential details until we confirm we can represent you.
Data retention and security
We keep information for as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet our legal and professional record-keeping obligations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
Your choices and rights
- Text messages: reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help.
- Email: ask us to stop emailing you at any time.
- California residents: you may request to know what personal information we have collected about you, request correction or deletion, and you will not be discriminated against for making a request. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
To make a request, contact us at gerald@clearlanecounsel.com. We may need to verify your identity, and some information may need to be kept to comply with legal or professional obligations.
Children
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
