Effective April 13, 2023
Our clients trust us with sensitive information, and we work hard to safeguard and protect it. This Privacy Policy governs Atticus's use and collection of personal data.
At Atticus, our work centers on understanding our clients' unique situations and needs. A critical part of this process is collecting information from users of our website. In addition to information about your legal needs, Atticus may collect information about you and your use of our services, including: (a) Personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, physical address, telephone number, employment information, billing address, and credit card; (b) Anonymous demographic information, such as your Postal Code, age, gender, and preferences; (c) Information about your computer hardware and software, such as your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, operating system, cookie information, referring website addresses, and Internet Service Provider; and (d) Information on your use of our website, such as pages visited, links clicked, text entered, and mouse movements.
Atticus collects and uses your personal information to deliver the help you request, to evaluate whether to represent you, and to improve our services and website. As part of the process for identifying and connecting you with the right legal help, we may share your personal information with other law firms, service providers, and/or financial partners. Atticus may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Atticus and its affiliates. Atticus may also contact you to participate in surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
We use aggregated or anonymized information for remarketing with Google Analytics, for ad targeting, to analyze trends, to administer our services, to improve customer service, to diagnose problems with our servers, to track user movement, and to gather demographic information for aggregate use. Users can opt out of some advertising features by visiting Google or the NAI consumer opt-out page. We may freely publish, disclose and use aggregated or anonymized information to or with third parties.
We use personal information to facilitate your use of our services, to provide you with information, products and services you request, to administer and assist us with the operation of our business, and for the purpose for which the information was provided. In the event that we engage with third party service providers in connection with our Services, we may share personal information with such service providers who need access to such information to carry out their work for us. We may securely transfer information you share on our site with third party partners for the purposes of marketing and advertising attribution, measurement, and improvement. These partners may place or recognize a unique cookie on your computer or device and may securely share data between our servers and theirs. We do not disclose, rent, sell or otherwise make available your personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. If you connect with Atticus through a third party (e.g., your employer, an organization of which you are a member, or an organization from which you sought assistance), Atticus may share information about your use of our services with the third party to help them understand how people they connect with us make use of our services or to enable them to further assist you or to provide you with their products and/or services.
Atticus may disclose personal information when we are required to or we believe it is appropriate to comply with the law (e.g., a lawful subpoena, warrant or court order); to enforce or apply this privacy policy or our other policies or agreements; to initiate, render, bill, and collect for amounts owed to us; to protect our or our users' rights, property or safety; to protect our users from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of our services; or if we believe that an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to any person requires or justifies disclosure of personal information. Moreover, information about our customers, including personal information, may be disclosed as part of any transaction or sale in which personal information could be transferred to third parties as one of Atticus's assets.
We use cookies and other similar technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, and mobile identifiers. We may also allow our business partners to use these tracking technologies, or engage others to track your behavior on our behalf. You may accept or decline cookies. However, we do not change our practices in response to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from your browser or mobile application.
If you provide us with your telephone number, you consent to the transmission of text messages to that number and waive any rights you may have under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. However, you may contact us at any time to opt out of receiving such texts.
Atticus strives to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Our services are built on platforms that incorporate the latest encryption and security devices. However, no data transmission is guaranteed to be 100% secure and we therefore cannot guarantee the security of information you transmit to or from Atticus. Accordingly, we disclaim liability for the theft, loss, or interception of, or unauthorized access or damage to, your data or communications by using the site, applications, and our services. By using our services, you acknowledge that you understand and assume these risks.
Our services are intended for and directed to adults. No children under age 13 may use our services, and we do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
Our services are operated from within the United States and intended for users located domestically. If you are located outside of the U.S., please be aware that information we collect will be transferred to, processed, stored and used in the U.S. in accordance with U.S. law, and may be subject to access requests from U.S. government agencies.
At the bottom of many websites, you'll find a small disclaimer: "We are not a law firm and are not qualified to give legal advice." If you see this, run the other way. These people can't help you: they're prohibited by law from giving meaningful advice, recommending specific lawyers, or even telling you whether you need a lawyer at all.
There’s no disclaimer here: Atticus is a law firm, and we are qualified to give legal advice. We can answer your most pressing questions, make clear recommendations, and search far and wide to find the right lawyer for you.
Two important things to note: If we give you legal advice, it will be through a lawyer on our staff communicating with you directly. (Don't make important decisions about your case based solely on this or any other website.) And if we take you on as a client, it will be through a document you sign. (No attorney-client relationship arises from using this site or calling us.)
