The Law Office of Cameron P. Kockler, LLC ("we," "us," "our," or "the Firm") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit kocklerlaw.com (the "Site") or interact with us through it, how we use and protect that information, and the choices you have. We've kept the language plain and the policy as short as we honestly could.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly
When you submit the contact or consultation form on this Site, you choose what to share. The form may collect:
- Your name (first and last)
- Your email address
- Your phone number
- Your company or organization (if applicable)
- The general practice area your matter falls under
- A short description of your situation
You may also provide information directly when you email Cameron, call the office, or communicate with us through any other channel.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this Site automatically logs certain technical information when you visit, including: your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and the referring URL. This information is used for site operation, security, and to understand how the Site is used in aggregate.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use a limited number of cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site running (for example, anti-forgery tokens that protect form submissions, and session cookies for users browsing multiple pages). We do not currently use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. If we add web analytics in the future, we'll update this policy to identify the provider and the data collected.
You can disable cookies through your browser's settings. Disabling essential cookies may prevent form submissions from working correctly, but it will not block you from reading content.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide and the technical information we automatically collect to:
- Respond to your inquiry and schedule a consultation
- Communicate with you about a potential or active engagement
- Provide legal services if you become a client
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
- Protect the Site against fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access
- Comply with applicable laws, court orders, and ethical obligations of the legal profession
We do not use the information you share with us to market unrelated products or services to you, and we do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties for marketing purposes.
3. How We Share Your Information
We share your information only in limited circumstances:
- Service providers. We use a small number of vendors who help us operate the Site and the Firm — for example, our website host, email service, and document storage. These vendors are contractually limited to using your information only for the services they provide to us.
- With your consent. If you authorize us to share specific information with a specific person or entity (for example, opposing counsel, a court, or a referral attorney), we will do so as you direct.
- Legal compliance. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, subpoena, or other valid legal process — or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or property.
- Successor in interest. If the Firm is dissolved, transferred, or merged with another entity, information may transfer as part of that transaction. If it does, we will make a reasonable effort to notify you in advance.
We do not sell your personal information. We have not sold personal information in the preceding 12 months and have no plans to start.
4. Attorney–Client Relationship and Confidentiality
Submitting a contact form, sending an email, or otherwise communicating with us through this Site does not, by itself, create an attorney–client relationship. An attorney–client relationship is established only when both you and the Firm have signed a formal engagement agreement.
Until an engagement is in place, please do not send confidential information, sensitive documents, or details that could waive a legal privilege. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of unsolicited communications, and pre-engagement communications may not be protected by attorney–client privilege.
Once a representation begins, communications between you and the Firm are protected by attorney–client privilege and the duty of confidentiality under the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct, subject to limited exceptions recognized by law.
5. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold — including encrypted transport for form submissions (HTTPS), limited access to client records, and password-protected storage. No system, however, can guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will notify you and applicable authorities as required by Pennsylvania's Breach of Personal Information Notification Act and any other applicable law.
6. Data Retention
We retain contact-form submissions for a reasonable period sufficient to respond to your inquiry and document the communication, after which we delete or anonymize them unless we have a legal or business reason to keep them longer.
For clients of the Firm, we retain engagement and client records for the period required by the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct, applicable malpractice insurance requirements, and other legal obligations — typically several years after the matter concludes. Specifics are addressed in your engagement agreement.
7. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. These can include:
- The right to know what personal information we have collected about you
- The right to request correction of inaccurate information
- The right to request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions
- The right to opt out of certain uses of your information
- The right to be free from retaliation for exercising your privacy rights
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this policy. We will respond within a reasonable time, typically within 45 days. Note that some information — particularly client records subject to professional retention rules — may not be eligible for deletion until the applicable retention period has run.
California residents. If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA, gives you additional rights, including the right to request specific pieces of personal information we have collected. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
8. Children's Privacy
This Site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Third-Party Links
The Site may contain links to third-party websites — for example, our LinkedIn page, external resource pages, or court / government websites referenced in articles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site you visit.
10. International Visitors
The Site is operated from the United States. If you are visiting from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your home jurisdiction. By using the Site, you consent to that transfer.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or for other operational reasons. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you — for example, by posting a notice on the Site or, for active clients, by direct communication. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
12. Attorney Advertising Notice
This Site and its contents constitute attorney advertising under the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct. The information presented is for general informational purposes only and is not legal advice. Past results do not guarantee similar future outcomes. Every matter is decided on its own facts.
