Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how Stansberry Kinsley (“the firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information through this website, thesklawfirm.com, and through the forms, phone numbers, and other contact methods it offers.
It applies to website visitors, people who contact the firm about a possible case, and anyone else who sends us information through the website. It does not replace the duty of confidentiality the firm owes its clients. Once the firm represents you, information about your case is also protected by the Alabama Rules of Professional Conduct and by the written agreement between you and the firm.
By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website or send us information through it.
Information you give us
We collect the information you choose to give us when you call, send a message, request a Free Case Review, or otherwise contact the firm. Depending on how you reach us, this may include:
- Contact details, such as your name, phone number, email address, mailing address, and the best way and time to reach you.
- Information about your situation, such as the type of injury, accident, or benefits claim, important dates, the people or companies involved, and insurance or benefits information.
- Health, work, and financial information that you decide is relevant to a personal injury or a claim for Social Security disability or disability insurance benefits.
- Documents, photos, or other files you choose to send us.
Please share only what we need to understand your situation and reach you. Do not send medical records, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive documents through the website unless we ask you to use a secure method.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, our hosting provider and the tools we use may automatically collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the page that referred you, and the date and time of your visit.
We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to keep the website working, to understand how visitors use it, and, where the law allows, to measure the results of our advertising. Some of these tools are provided by other companies, which may collect information about your activity on this website and on other websites over time.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not work as well if you do.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether the firm may be able to help.
- Check for conflicts of interest before the firm agrees to represent anyone.
- Schedule consultations and communicate with you by phone, text message, email, or mail.
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website.
- Understand how visitors use the website and measure the effectiveness of our outreach.
- Meet our legal and professional obligations and protect the rights and safety of the firm, our clients, and others.
If you give us your phone number, you agree that the firm may call or text you about your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply. You may tell us at any time that you no longer want to receive text messages.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with other companies for their own marketing.
We may share information in these situations:
- With service providers who help us operate the website, manage inquiries and communications, store records, and support our technology. They may use the information only to provide services to the firm.
- With co-counsel, consultants, or experts when needed to evaluate or handle a case, with your knowledge.
- When required by law, court order, or legal process, or to meet our professional obligations.
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of the firm, our clients, or others.
- As part of a merger, change of ownership, or reorganization of the firm, subject to our professional obligations.
How we protect and keep information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we receive. No website, internet transmission, or email is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of information you send to us online.
We keep information for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, including evaluating your inquiry, meeting our professional and record-keeping obligations, and resolving disputes. After that, we delete it or dispose of it securely under our retention practices.
Your choices and requests
You may ask us to correct the contact information you gave us, to stop contacting you about an inquiry, or to delete information we no longer need. To make a request, call the firm at 844-327-5529 or use our Contact page. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, and we may keep information when the law or our professional obligations require it.
Children’s privacy
This website is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them online. A parent or guardian may contact us on behalf of a child who needs help. If you believe a child has sent us personal information through the website, please contact us so we can remove it.
Links to other websites
The website may link to websites run by others, such as government agencies, courts, or insurance companies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. Please read their privacy policies before sharing information with them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the date shown above. Changes take effect when they are posted.
