Burkhart and Burkhart Website Privacy Policy
In general, we do not actively collect personal information from our
website users, with the exception of our
"E-mail Us" form. This form asks
the user for an e-mail address and name. This information is
then sent to us over e-mail.
We do use website
tracking software that is capable of collecting
information about a user's computer, like their IP address and the URL
from which they came to our site. We use this software only to measure
the performance of our website, and do not use this information in an
effort to identify individuals.
Users are advised that they should not send confidential
information. Users should not send any information about a specific
legal
matter unless they have an engagement agreement signed by one
of our attorneys establishing an
attorney-client relationship with Burkhart and Burkhart, PLLC.
If a user is
not our client, there is a possibility that
information provided by the user to
our law firm may be used against the user, for instance if our
firm represents
an adversary. Sending an e-mail does not establish an
attorney-client relationship.
If
users do not want Burkhart and Burkhart to have any personal
information, users can simply choose to refrain from contacting us and
identifying themselves.
Access
to the names and e-mail addresses submitted on our website is limited
as much as possible to Burkhart and Burkhart staff; we do not purposely
share or sell users' e-mail addresses to others without permission.
However, it should be noted that our E-mail Us form is not
secure, so it is possible that a third party could intercept this
information while it is being transmitted. No confidential information
should be sent over our e-mail form. Users
may notify Burkhart and Burkhart about changes to their e-mail
addresses or other information by contacting us.
Information
submitted though our E-Mail Us form is used to respond to inquiries
submitted through the form. If the user provides an e-mail
address and the submission invites a response, we will respond to that
inquiry by e-mail. If the user provides an e-mail address and
a
phone number, Burkhart and Burkhart may respond by either of those
avenues. We do not send unsolicited e-mails to our website
users
that are not relating to an existing attorney-client relationship.
At this time, we do not offer an e-mail newsletter, but when
and
if we do, we will implement an opt-in / opt-out process.
We promise to address concerns about privacy issues promptly and
thoroughly. Website users can simply
contact us to alert us to
any problems or questions they may have.
Note: This privacy policy is just about our website, not our
client
relationships in general. Washington lawyers are ethically
required to
preserve the confidences and secrets of their clients. (
