Patterson Injury Lawyers ("we," "us" or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through www.pattersoninjury.com, how we use it and the choices you have.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you submit the contact form, call, email or message us, we collect the information you choose to provide. On the contact form and in the live chat this includes your name, contact details and your message.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view and the date and time of your visit.
Cookies and analytics
We use a small number of essential cookies and similar storage to make the site work, for example to remember your cookie choice.
With your permission, we also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Analytics cookies are switched off by default. They are only set if you choose "Accept analytics" in the cookie banner. If you choose "Decline," or do not make a choice, analytics cookies are not set. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link at the bottom of every page.
Third-party services
- Google Maps. The contact and Philadelphia office pages show an embedded Google map. When the map loads, Google may collect information under its own privacy policy.
- Contact form and live chat. The form on our contact page and the chat window are provided by a third-party client intake platform. What you enter, along with technical data such as your IP address, is processed by that provider so we can respond. The provider may use cookies or similar storage to keep the form and chat working.
- WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. If you follow a link to one of these services, that service's own privacy policy applies.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we can help you
- To communicate with you about your potential or existing matter
- To operate, secure and improve this website
- To comply with legal and professional obligations
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:
- With service providers that help us run the site and our practice, such as website hosting, email delivery and analytics providers
- When the law, a court order or a rule of professional conduct requires it
- With your consent or at your direction
Contact form submissions and confidentiality
Submitting the contact form or using the chat does not create an attorney-client relationship, and messages sent through the form or the chat are transmitted through a third-party provider. Please do not include confidential or sensitive details until we have agreed to represent you. See our Disclaimer for more information.
How long we keep information
We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond to you and to meet our legal and professional record-keeping obligations.
Your choices
- You can decline analytics cookies, or change your mind later, using "Cookie preferences."
- You can ask us what information we hold about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by contacting us at the details below. We will respond as the law requires.
- You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. A parent or guardian should contact us on a child's behalf.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect. No website or email transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
