PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: August 6, 2026
Last Updated: August 6, 2026

SoCal Law Firm, PC (“SoCal Law Firm,” the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information obtained through www.socallawfirmpc.com, including pages on which this Privacy Policy appears, collectively referred to as the “Website.”

This Privacy Policy also applies to information received through Website contact forms and related telephone, voicemail, email, SMS, and MMS communications.

Information obtained from an actual or prospective client may be subject to additional legal, ethical, professional, contractual, evidentiary, privilege, work-product, and confidentiality protections. Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any duty imposed on the Firm by applicable law, court rule, the California Rules of Professional Conduct, or an agreement between the Firm and a client.

1. Attorney-Client Relationship and Initial Communications

Visiting the Website, submitting a contact form, sending an email, leaving a voicemail, speaking with Firm personnel, or exchanging text messages with the Firm does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only after:

  1. The Firm reviews the potential matter; 

  2. The Firm completes an appropriate conflict-of-interest review; 

  3. The Firm agrees to accept the representation; and 

  4. The Firm and the client enter into an appropriate written engagement agreement. 

The absence of an attorney-client relationship does not waive or eliminate any duties the Firm may owe to a qualifying prospective client under applicable law and professional rules.

Unless the Firm has confirmed that it represents you, please limit an initial Website submission to:

  • Your name and contact information; 

  • The names of the persons and entities involved; 

  • The general type of matter; 

  • The approximate date and location of the incident; and 

  • A brief, general description of the issue. 

Please do not submit any of the following through the general Website contact form:

  • Social Security numbers; 

  • Driver’s license, passport, or government identification numbers; 

  • Financial-account or payment-card information; 

  • Account passwords or login credentials; 

  • Complete medical records; 

  • Photographs of identification documents; 

  • Highly detailed confidential communications; 

  • Documents containing sensitive personal information; or 

  • Information unrelated to determining whether the Firm may be able to assist you. 

Submitting information through the Website does not stop, toll, satisfy, preserve, or extend any statute of limitations, governmental-claim deadline, filing deadline, notice requirement, court deadline, contractual deadline, or other legal deadline.

The Website provides general information only and does not constitute legal advice.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with the Website and the Firm. We do not necessarily collect every category described below from every person.

The Firm uses RingCentral and related telecommunications providers to facilitate calls, voicemail, SMS, and MMS communications.

We do not use contact-form contents, client communications, case descriptions, medical information, or client matter information for targeted advertising.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website uses cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, and similar technologies.

Some technologies are necessary for the Website to operate. Other technologies are used for analytics or advertising and will not activate unless the visitor provides the applicable permission through the Website’s privacy-preference tool.

A. Necessary Technologies

Necessary technologies may be used to:

  • Operate and secure the Website; 

  • Prevent fraud and abuse; 

  • Maintain Website functionality; 

  • Remember privacy choices; 

  • Route Website traffic; 

  • Diagnose technical problems; and 

  • Maintain the Website’s security and integrity. 

Necessary technologies cannot be disabled through the Website’s privacy-preference tool because they are reasonably necessary to provide and secure the Website.

B. Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4, a web-analytics service provided by Google LLC and its affiliates, to understand general Website use and improve Website performance.

When you consent to analytics technologies, Google Analytics may collect information such as:

  • Pages viewed; 

  • Date and time of a visit; 

  • Approximate duration of a visit; 

  • Browser and device type; 

  • Operating system; 

  • Referring website or advertising source; 

  • General geographic region; 

  • Website navigation; 

  • General Website interaction events; 

  • Cookie and pseudonymous identifiers; 

  • Website performance information; and 

  • Diagnostic information. 

We do not intentionally provide Google Analytics with:

  • Names; 

  • Email addresses; 

  • Telephone numbers; 

  • Contact-form contents; 

  • Case descriptions; 

  • Medical, treatment, or injury information; 

  • Insurance information; 

  • Documents; 

  • Attorney-client communications; 

  • Client matter information; or 

  • Other information that directly identifies a Website visitor. 

We use Google Analytics for general Website measurement and performance analysis. We do not enable:

  • Google Signals; 

  • Google Analytics remarketing; 

  • Google Analytics demographics or interest reporting; 

  • Google advertising personalization; 

  • User-ID tracking; or 

  • A link between Google Analytics and a Google Ads account. 

We use available Google Analytics tools to redact email addresses and designated URL query parameters that could contain personal information.

If we later enable a Google Analytics advertising feature, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any additional notice, consent, or choice required by applicable law.

C. Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel, a technology provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. and its affiliates, to:

  • Measure Website visits; 

  • Measure advertising performance; 

  • Understand whether a visitor reached the Website through a Meta advertisement; 

  • Measure general Website interactions; 

  • Create advertising audiences; 

  • Deliver or measure advertising on Meta services, including Facebook and Instagram; and 

  • Improve the effectiveness of our advertising. 

When you consent to advertising technologies, the Meta Pixel may allow Meta to receive information such as:

  • Internet Protocol address; 

  • Browser and device information; 

  • Cookie and online identifiers; 

  • The webpage visited; 

  • The referring webpage or advertising source; 

  • Date and time of a visit; 

  • General Website events or interactions; and 

  • Advertising and conversion information configured by the Firm. 

Meta may associate this information with information Meta already maintains and may process it under Meta’s own terms and privacy policies.

We do not use Meta Automatic Advanced Matching.

We do not intentionally configure the Meta Pixel to collect or transmit:

  • Names; 

  • Email addresses; 

  • Telephone numbers; 

  • Contact-form contents; 

  • Case descriptions; 

  • Accident or incident details submitted by a visitor; 

  • Medical, health, injury, or treatment information; 

  • Insurance information; 

  • Financial-account information; 

  • Social Security numbers; 

  • Government identification information; 

  • Documents or files submitted to the Firm; 

  • Attorney-client communications; 

  • Client matter information; 

  • SMS opt-in information; 

  • Text-messaging consent; or 

  • SMS or MMS message contents. 

The Meta Pixel is not intended to read, capture, or transmit values entered into Website form fields.

D. Cookie and Privacy Choices

When you first visit the Website, you will be provided with choices concerning nonessential analytics and advertising technologies.

You may:

  • Accept all nonessential technologies; 

  • Reject nonessential technologies; or 

  • Manage your preferences by category. 

Rejecting nonessential technologies will prevent the Website from activating Google Analytics and Meta Pixel for the applicable browser, subject to technical limitations.

You may review or change your selection at any time by selecting Your Privacy Choices in the Website footer.

You may also delete or block cookies through your browser. Blocking cookies may affect certain Website functions.

E. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a traditional “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no universally accepted technical standard for interpreting traditional Do Not Track signals, the Website does not currently respond to every traditional Do Not Track signal.

The Website does, however, process a legally recognized opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to disable Meta Pixel and opt out of any sale or sharing associated with that browser or device.

F. Global Privacy Control

When the Website receives a valid Global Privacy Control or similar legally recognized opt-out preference signal:

  • Meta Pixel will be disabled for the applicable browser or device; 

  • The signal will be treated as a request to opt out of sale or sharing; 

  • The Website will display whether the request has been honored; and 

  • The visitor may review the status through the Your Privacy Choices page. 

A browser- or device-based choice generally applies only to the browser or device transmitting the choice unless the visitor is otherwise known to the Firm and applicable law requires broader treatment.

G. Collection Across Websites

When you consent to Meta Pixel, Meta may collect information concerning online activities over time and across different websites or online services.

Google may collect Website-use information through Google Analytics after you consent to analytics technologies. We use Google Analytics for Website measurement rather than interest-based advertising.

The Firm does not control how Meta or Google processes information independently under their own terms and privacy policies.

5. How We Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary for the purposes described below.

A. Service Providers and Contractors

We may disclose information to providers that assist with:

  • Website hosting and maintenance; 

  • Telephone, voicemail, SMS, and MMS services, including RingCentral; 

  • Wireless-message delivery; 

  • Email and productivity services; 

  • Information technology; 

  • Cybersecurity; 

  • Data backup and storage; 

  • Client intake and matter administration; 

  • Accounting and bookkeeping; 

  • Website analytics; 

  • Advertising measurement; 

  • Website design and maintenance; and 

  • Other services reasonably necessary to operate the Firm. 

These providers may process information only to provide services to the Firm, comply with law, protect their services, or as otherwise permitted by applicable agreements and law.

B. Google and Meta

Subject to the visitor’s privacy choices:

  • Website-use and performance information may be disclosed to Google through Google Analytics for analytics and Website measurement. 

  • Online identifiers and Website-activity information may be disclosed to Meta through Meta Pixel for advertising measurement, audience creation, advertising delivery, and related purposes. 

We do not intentionally disclose contact-form contents, client communications, case narratives, medical information, documents, SMS consent, or client matter information to Google or Meta.

C. Persons Involved in Providing Legal Services

When reasonably necessary and consistent with our professional obligations, client authorization, court rules, and applicable law, we may disclose information to:

  • Firm attorneys and personnel; 

  • Co-counsel; 

  • Contract attorneys and paralegals; 

  • Courts and administrative agencies; 

  • Arbitrators and mediators; 

  • Opposing parties and their counsel; 

  • Insurance companies and claims administrators; 

  • Medical providers; 

  • Lienholders; 

  • Experts; 

  • Investigators; 

  • Consultants; 

  • Process servers; 

  • Court reporters; 

  • Litigation-support providers; and 

  • Other persons reasonably necessary to evaluate, investigate, pursue, resolve, or defend a matter. 

D. Legal, Compliance, and Security Disclosures

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law; 

  • Respond to a subpoena, warrant, court order, or lawful government request; 

  • Comply with professional obligations; 

  • Protect the rights, property, security, or safety of the Firm, its clients, Website visitors, or others; 

  • Detect or prevent fraud, misuse, cybersecurity incidents, or unlawful conduct; 

  • Enforce agreements and policies; or 

  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. 

E. Business Transactions

Information may be transferred in connection with a lawful sale, merger, reorganization, financing, dissolution, or transfer involving all or part of the Firm’s practice or assets, subject to applicable professional, confidentiality, client-notice, and client-consent obligations.

F. At Your Direction

We may disclose information when you request, direct, authorize, or consent to the disclosure.

6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

SoCal Law Firm does not exchange client or prospective-client personal information for monetary consideration.

We do not sell or rent:

  • Client lists; 

  • Prospective-client contact information; 

  • Contact-form submissions; 

  • Client matter information; 

  • Medical or injury information; 

  • Attorney-client communications; 

  • Mobile telephone numbers; 

  • SMS opt-in information; or 

  • Text-message consent. 

Meta Pixel may disclose online identifiers and Website-activity information to Meta for advertising measurement, audience creation, advertising delivery, and related purposes.

Depending on applicable law and the manner in which the Meta Pixel is used, that disclosure may constitute “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising, even though the Firm does not receive money for the information. To the extent such a disclosure is considered a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law, you may opt out through the Your Privacy Choices page or a legally recognized opt-out preference signal.

Turning off advertising technologies through Your Privacy Choices prevents the Website from activating Meta Pixel for the applicable browser or device.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone we know to be under 16 years of age.

7. SMS and Mobile Information

A. Optional Messaging Program

The Firm offers an optional SMS and MMS messaging program for conversational and informational communications.

  • Case-related communications;

The Firm does not currently use this program to send unrelated promotional or marketing text messages.

B. Mobile Privacy Restriction

No mobile opt-in information or text-message consent will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We do not sell, rent, or provide mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in information, or text-message consent to third parties or affiliates for their independent marketing.

We may disclose mobile information to RingCentral, wireless carriers, and other communications service providers solely as reasonably necessary to:

  • Transmit and deliver messages; 

  • Operate the messaging program; 

  • Maintain consent and opt-out records; 

  • Prevent spam, fraud, or misuse; 

  • Provide technical support; and 

  • Comply with applicable law. 

Those operational providers are not authorized by the Firm to use the information for their own unrelated marketing or promotional purposes.

C. Consent Is Optional

Consent to receive SMS or MMS messages is not a condition of:

  • Hiring the Firm; 

  • Obtaining a consultation; 

  • Receiving legal services; or

Message and data rates may apply. Charges are determined by your wireless carrier and mobile-service plan.

E. Opting Out

You may opt out of SMS or MMS communications at any time by replying STOP.

The Firm will also treat other reasonable language clearly communicating that you no longer wish to receive messages as an opt-out request.

After an opt-out request, the Firm may send one final nonmarketing message confirming that the request has been processed.

You may also revoke consent by contacting:

Wireless carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery is subject to your wireless carrier’s network availability and transmission capabilities.

H. Telephone-Number Accuracy

By providing a mobile telephone number, you represent that:

  • The number belongs to you or you are authorized to use it; 

  • You are authorized to consent to communications at that number; and 

  • The information you provide is accurate. 

Please notify the Firm promptly if your telephone number changes or is reassigned.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary and proportionate to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including:

  • Responding to and documenting inquiries; 

  • Performing conflict checks;

  • Providing legal services; 

  • Maintaining prospective-client and client records;

  • Applicable statutes of limitation; 

  • Litigation-hold and evidentiary obligations; 

  • Court rules; 

  • Professional-responsibility requirements; 

  • Insurance requirements; 

  • Tax and accounting requirements; and 

  • Other legal or operational considerations. 

SMS consent and opt-out records may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to document compliance with communications laws, carrier requirements, and the Firm’s obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may securely delete, destroy, deidentify, or anonymize it, subject to applicable law and technical limitations affecting backup or archival systems.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against:

  • Unauthorized access; 

  • Unauthorized acquisition; 

  • Loss; 

  • Misuse; 

  • Alteration; 

  • Destruction; and 

  • Unauthorized disclosure. 

However, no website, email system, telephone system, text-messaging platform, wireless transmission, cloud service, or method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Ordinary email and SMS communications may not be encrypted end to end. Please do not use ordinary email, SMS, or a general Website form to transmit highly sensitive information unless the Firm specifically instructs you to do so.

10. California Privacy Disclosures

During the preceding 12 months, depending on how a person interacted with the Firm, we may have collected the following California categories of personal information:

A. Identifiers

Examples include names, mailing addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, Internet Protocol addresses, and online identifiers.

Sources may include the individual, the individual’s device or browser, referral sources, service providers, and other lawful sources.

Purposes include responding to inquiries, conflict checks, communications, providing legal services, Website operation, security, analytics, and advertising measurement.

Identifiers may be disclosed to operational service providers. Online identifiers may be disclosed to Meta through Meta Pixel when the visitor permits advertising technologies.

B. Customer-Record Information

Examples include names, addresses, telephone numbers, insurance information, medical information, employment information, and other information relevant to a legal inquiry or representation.

This information may be disclosed to service providers and persons involved in legal services as described in this Privacy Policy. It is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

C. Commercial or Legal-Service Information

Examples include records of consultations, legal services requested, communications, claims, and client matters.

This information may be disclosed as reasonably necessary to evaluate or provide legal services. It is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

D. Internet or Other Electronic Network Activity

Examples include browsing activity, pages viewed, links selected, interaction with the Website, referring sources, and cookie identifiers.

This information may be disclosed to Google for analytics and to Meta for advertising measurement when the visitor provides the applicable permission. Meta-related disclosure may constitute sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.

E. Geolocation Information

We may derive an approximate geographic area from an Internet Protocol address. We do not use the Website to collect precise geolocation.

Approximate location may be processed by Website, analytics, security, and advertising providers.

F. Audio, Electronic, Visual, or Similar Information

Examples include voicemail messages, emails, SMS and MMS messages, photographs, and documents provided to the Firm.

This information may be disclosed as reasonably necessary for communications or legal services. It is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

G. Professional or Employment Information

Professional, occupational, employment, or wage information may be collected when relevant to an inquiry or legal matter.

This information is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

H. Protected Characteristics

Information concerning age, disability, marital status, sex, race, national origin, or another legally protected characteristic may be provided when relevant to a legal inquiry or representation.

This information is not sold or shared for cross-context behavioral advertising.

I. Sensitive Personal Information

Sensitive personal information may include government identification information, financial information, account-access information, precise communications, health information, or other information treated as sensitive under applicable law.

The general Website form is not intended to collect this information. The Firm may nevertheless receive sensitive information from a prospective client, client, provider, insurer, court, or other source when reasonably necessary to evaluate or provide legal services.

We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about an individual or for targeted advertising. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that would trigger a right to limit under the CCPA.

11. Your Privacy Rights and Requests

A. Reviewing or Correcting Information

You may contact us to request review or correction of contact information previously submitted through the Website.

Submit requests to:

Email: socal@socallawfirmpc.com
Telephone: 818-272-5353

Please identify the information at issue and the requested correction.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity. We may deny or limit a request when permitted or required by law, including where compliance would interfere with:

B. California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies only to businesses satisfying statutory requirements. To the extent the CCPA applies to SoCal Law Firm or a particular processing activity, an eligible California resident may have the right to:

  • Know the sources and purposes of collection; 

  • Know the categories of recipients; 

  • Obtain certain specific pieces of personal information; 

  • Request deletion of certain personal information;

  • Receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising a privacy right. 

The availability of a particular right depends on:

  • Whether the CCPA applies; 

  • The nature of the information; 

  • How the information was obtained; 

  • The purpose for which it is maintained; and 

  • Applicable statutory exceptions. 

Information maintained in connection with legal representation, anticipated or existing litigation, legal claims, professional obligations, conflict checks, privilege, work product, confidentiality, evidentiary preservation, or the rights of another person may be exempt from or not subject to a particular request.

C. Submitting a Request

Privacy requests may be submitted through:

Please identify:

  • Your name; 

  • Your preferred contact method; 

  • The nature of your relationship with the Firm; 

  • The privacy right you seek to exercise; and 

  • Sufficient information to allow us to understand the request. 

Do not include privileged, confidential, medical, or highly sensitive case information in a general privacy request.

If the Firm becomes subject to the CCPA, it will provide any additional request method required by law, including a toll-free number if applicable.

D. Verification

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify the identity and authority of a person submitting a request to know, access, delete, or correct information.

Verification information will be used only for verification, security, fraud prevention, and compliance.

We will not require identity verification merely to process a browser- or device-based request to opt out of sale or sharing.

E. Authorized Agents

Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may submit a request on a California resident’s behalf.

We may require:

  • Proof of the agent’s authority; 

  • Direct confirmation from the resident; 

  • Verification of the resident’s identity; or 

  • Other information permitted by law. 

F. Nondiscrimination

We will not unlawfully discriminate against a person for exercising an applicable privacy right.

G. California “Shine the Light”

We do not disclose client lists, prospective-client contact information, or contact-form information to third parties for those third parties’ independent direct-marketing purposes.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly use the Website to collect personal information directly from a child under 13 without legally sufficient authorization.

A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information through the Website may contact us using the information below.

Information concerning a minor involved in a potential or existing legal matter may be collected when provided by a parent, legal guardian, authorized representative, or other appropriate source and may be used as reasonably necessary to evaluate or provide legal services.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy, security, accuracy, availability, terms, or content of a third-party website or service.

Your use of a third-party website or service is governed by that third party’s terms and privacy policy.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in:

  • Our practices; 

  • The Website; 

  • Technology; 

  • Service providers; 

  • Applicable law; 

  • Professional obligations; or 

  • Other circumstances. 

The revised Privacy Policy will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
