Website Privacy

Privacy Policy

The Law Office of Eric W. Frazier respects the confidentiality and privacy of visitors to this website. This policy explains the limited information that may be collected through the site, why it may be used, when it may be disclosed, and the choices available to you.

Scope of this policy

This policy applies to information associated with your use of this website and communications initiated through its email and telephone links. It does not govern information handled in the course of an attorney-client relationship, which may be subject to professional duties, contractual restrictions, attorney-client privilege, the attorney work-product doctrine, or other legal protections.

Information that may be collected

This website does not presently offer user accounts, online intake forms, payment processing, newsletter registration, or advertising services. You are not required to submit personal information merely to read the site.

When you visit, the website’s hosting and security providers may automatically process limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the site. This may include an Internet Protocol address, device and browser type, operating system, requested pages, referring page, approximate location derived from an IP address, date and time, and diagnostic or security-event data.

If you choose to contact the firm by email or telephone, the firm may receive the contact details and other information you voluntarily provide. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-critical information unless the firm has agreed to receive it.

How information may be used

Information may be used only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website; respond to communications; evaluate a prospective engagement; prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents; enforce legal rights; comply with professional responsibilities; and satisfy applicable law, court orders, or lawful governmental requests.

The firm does not use information from this website for third-party behavioral advertising and does not sell personal information for money. The firm does not knowingly permit third parties to build advertising profiles from a visitor’s activity on this website.

Cookies and tracking technologies

The site is designed to operate without advertising cookies, marketing pixels, or cross-site behavioral tracking. Essential technologies may be used by the hosting platform for security, fraud prevention, traffic routing, availability, or other functions necessary to provide the website. If the site’s use of tracking technologies changes materially, this policy should be updated before or when the change is implemented.

When information may be disclosed

Information may be disclosed to service providers that host, secure, maintain, or support the website, but only to the extent reasonably necessary for those services and subject to appropriate confidentiality or data-protection obligations. Information may also be disclosed when required by law; to respond to lawful process; to protect the rights, safety, or property of the firm, its clients, website visitors, or others; or in connection with a legitimate business reorganization where legally permitted.

The firm does not authorize service providers to use information received through this website for their own independent advertising purposes.

Data minimization and retention

The firm seeks to limit collection to information reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes, to protect legal rights, to satisfy professional or legal obligations, or as otherwise permitted by law. Retention periods may differ depending on the nature, sensitivity, and legal status of the information.

Information security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to protect information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No website, email system, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should use caution when transmitting sensitive information electronically.

Your privacy choices and requests

Subject to applicable law and appropriate identity verification, you may request information about personal information maintained about you, request correction or deletion, or object to certain uses. Applicable law may permit or require the firm to deny or limit a request, including where information is protected by legal privilege, professional duties, another person’s rights, or a legal retention obligation.

The firm will not unlawfully discriminate against a person for making a valid privacy request. Because the firm does not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, it does not provide a “Do Not Sell or Share” link. Recognized browser-based privacy signals will be evaluated and honored where legally required and technically applicable.

California privacy notice

This section applies to California residents to the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, applies to the firm or the information at issue. California law may provide rights to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected; learn the sources, purposes, and categories of recipients; request correction or deletion; opt out of a sale or sharing; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and receive equal service and treatment when exercising privacy rights.

During the preceding 12 months, the website may have processed identifiers such as an IP address or contact details, Internet or electronic-network activity such as page requests and browser data, approximate location inferred from an IP address, professional information voluntarily included in a communication, and the contents of communications sent to the firm. Sources may include visitors directly, their devices or browsers, and website hosting or security providers. These categories are used for the business purposes described in this policy and may be disclosed to service providers supporting website delivery, security, communications, or legal compliance.

The firm does not sell personal information and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The firm does not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16. The firm does not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit under California law. California residents may submit a request personally or through an authorized agent. The firm may take reasonable steps to verify identity and authority before responding and may retain or withhold information where an exemption applies, including legal privilege and professional responsibility obligations.

California’s “Shine the Light” law may permit residents to request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes. The firm does not disclose personal information collected through this website to third parties for their own direct marketing.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Where applicable data-protection law covers the processing, individuals may have rights to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, or portability of personal data; object to certain processing; withdraw consent where consent is the lawful basis; and lodge a complaint with an appropriate supervisory authority. A request may be limited by legal privilege, professional duties, legal claims, retention requirements, or other lawful exceptions.

Depending on the circumstances, processing may be based on consent, steps requested before entering an engagement, performance of an agreement, compliance with legal or professional obligations, or legitimate interests such as operating and securing the website and responding to communications. Information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in the visitor’s jurisdiction. Where legally required, appropriate transfer safeguards will be used.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a general business and professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. The firm does not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information may contact the firm to request review and appropriate deletion.

External services and links

This website may link to email, telephone, mapping, hosting, or third-party websites and services. Their privacy and security practices are governed by their own policies. The firm is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party services.

No attorney-client relationship

Visiting this website or sending an unsolicited communication does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through an express agreement confirmed by the firm. Information sent before such confirmation may not be treated as confidential or privileged, and you should not send information about a matter if doing so could create a conflict of interest.

Policy changes

This policy may be revised to reflect changes in the website, the firm’s practices, or applicable law. The effective date at the top of the page will be updated when material revisions are posted. Use of the website after an update is subject to the policy then in effect.

This policy describes the website’s current practices and is not legal advice. It should be reviewed whenever the site adds forms, analytics, advertising, newsletters, payment tools, client portals, or other data-collection features.
