Privacy Policy

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including information submitted through contact forms, email communications, telephone inquiries, or other website features.

This information may include:

• Name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• Company or organization
• General information regarding the nature of your inquiry
• Any other information you voluntarily choose to provide

Please do not submit confidential, sensitive, or privileged information through this website unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established with Barket & Forns.

Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship.

When you access our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our website platform or service providers.

This information may include:

• IP address
• Browser type
• Device type
• Operating system
• Pages viewed
• Referring website
• Date and time of access
• General geographic information
• Website interaction and usage information

This information may be used to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and to better understand how visitors interact with it.

Our website and its hosting platform use browser storage technologies, including cookies and localStorage, to support website functionality, security, and platform operation.

These technologies may be used to store configuration information needed for the website to operate, such as platform settings and authentication tokens where applicable.

This website also stores a visitor’s privacy preference in the browser’s localStorage so that the visitor’s choice is remembered across visits. This preference does not identify the visitor and is not transmitted to the Firm or any third party.

No optional analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies are currently active on this website. If such technologies are implemented in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated to provide additional information regarding those services.

Depending on your browser and device settings, you may be able to clear or restrict browser storage. Disabling certain storage may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

Information collected through the website may be used to:

• Respond to inquiries and communications
• Evaluate requests for legal services
• Communicate with prospective or existing clients
• Operate and maintain the website
• Improve website content, functionality, and user experience
• Monitor website performance
• Protect against fraud, misuse, unauthorized access, or security threats
• Comply with applicable legal and professional obligations
• Maintain appropriate business and administrative records

We do not use information submitted through this website to create an attorney-client relationship unless the Firm separately agrees to undertake representation.

We may disclose information to third-party service providers that assist us with operating and maintaining our website or business systems.

These providers may include companies that provide:

• Website hosting
• Information technology services
• Website analytics
• Communications services
• Cybersecurity
• Data storage
• Professional or administrative services

Such providers may access information only as reasonably necessary to provide services to the Firm or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process
• Protect the rights, property, or security of the Firm or others
• Investigate suspected fraud, misuse, or unlawful activity
• Enforce applicable website terms

We do not sell personal information submitted through our website.

Contacting Barket & Forns through this website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, or otherwise communicating with the Firm does not establish an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is established only after the Firm has agreed to represent you and any required engagement documentation has been completed.

Until that occurs, information submitted through the website should not be considered confidential or privileged.

Please do not send confidential information, sensitive documents, case strategy, deadlines, or other information that you would not want disclosed until you have confirmed that Barket & Forns represents you in the matter.

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information associated with our website.

However, no website, electronic communication, or method of data transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the website or by email.

We may retain information collected through the website for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to inquiries
• Maintain business records
• Evaluate potential representation
• Fulfill legal or regulatory obligations
• Resolve disputes
• Maintain website security
• Protect legitimate business interests

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

This website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. For example, the Contact page includes a static map image and address links that open the firm's office location in an external maps service only when a visitor intentionally clicks or taps those links.

The website does not automatically load or embed third-party maps, fonts, or other embedded third-party content. Fonts used on this website are self-hosted and served from the website's own domain.

Barket & Forns does not control the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Accessing third-party websites is subject to the privacy policies and terms maintained by those third parties.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily constitute an endorsement of the linked website, organization, product, or service.

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through this website.

This website provides a Privacy Choices interface that allows visitors to record and manage their privacy preferences directly in their browser.

Through the Privacy Choices interface, you may:

• Record your preference regarding optional technologies
• Review which categories of technology are in use
• Change or withdraw your preference at any time using the Privacy Choices link in the website footer

Your privacy preference is stored locally in your browser and is not transmitted to the Firm or any third party. Because no optional analytics, advertising, marketing, or tracking technologies are currently active on this website, approving or rejecting optional technologies does not change the content or services loaded during your visit.

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances under which information was collected, you may also contact us regarding personal information you have submitted through the website. You may request that we:

• Correct inaccurate contact information
• Update information you previously submitted
• Delete certain information where appropriate
• Stop certain communications from the Firm

Some information may need to be retained where required by law, professional obligations, legitimate business purposes, or recordkeeping requirements.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, technology, business practices, or applicable requirements.

Any revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

Continued use of the website following an update constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.

If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or the Firm’s privacy practices, please contact Barket & Forns, PLLC using the contact information provided on our Contact page.
