1. Introduction
Whittaker Law Group (“Whittaker Law Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information collected through our website, www.whittakerlawgroup.com.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, submit an inquiry or contact form, upload information or documents, or otherwise communicate with us through the website.
2. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy primarily applies to information collected through our website and related online communications.

Please do not submit confidential, privileged, or highly sensitive information through the website unless requested to do so by an attorney at Whittaker Law Group. Submission of information does not obligate Whittaker Law Group to accept your matter, provide legal advice, preserve a claim or deadline, or take any action on your behalf.
Whittaker Law Group handles information received from prospective clients in accordance with applicable law and professional obligations.

11. California Online Privacy Protection Act and Online Tracking
This Privacy Policy is intended to comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”), to the extent applicable.
Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers or devices provide a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting or similar privacy mechanism.
Because there is not currently a universally accepted technological or legal standard governing how websites should respond to DNT signals, our website may not respond to all DNT signals or similar mechanisms.
Third-Party Tracking
Third-party service providers used in connection with the website, including analytics or hosting providers, may collect information concerning your interaction with our website as described in this Privacy Policy.
Whittaker Law Group does not authorize third parties to use information obtained through our website for their own independent direct-marketing purposes.

If you voluntarily provide your mobile telephone number or communicate with Whittaker Law Group by text message, we may use your telephone number and message content to respond to your inquiry or communicate with you concerning a potential or existing legal matter.
If you expressly consent to receive recurring text messages from Whittaker Law Group, standard message and data rates may apply depending on your cellular provider and plan.
You may opt out of nonessential text communications by replying STOP.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of retaining Whittaker Law Group.
Text messaging should not be used to communicate emergencies, filing deadlines, statutes of limitation, or other highly time-sensitive matters unless specifically authorized by your attorney.
13. Data Retention
We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, evaluating potential matters, maintaining business records, satisfying legal or ethical obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting our legal rights.
The length of time information is retained may vary depending on the nature of the information and the circumstances in which it was received.

You should review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing personal information to them.
