Last updated: October 12, 2026. Draft for attorney review.

Information we collect
Information you give us
When you submit an inquiry, we collect your name, email address, phone number, the description of your legal issue, and your consent selection. Please do not submit confidential, sensitive, or privileged information through the Site.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider and service providers automatically receive technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring URLs, and the date and time of visits. This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, and similar technologies.
Cookies and advertising
The Site may use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving on the Site.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google at Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info and networkadvertising.org.
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect how ads are shown but will not prevent you from using the Site.
The Site loads fonts from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address when fonts are requested.
How we use information
- To review your inquiry and, if appropriate, contact you about it by email, phone, or text message, as you consented;
- To run conflict checks if the attorney considers representing you;
- To operate, secure, and improve the Site and prevent spam or abuse;
- To display and measure advertising;
- To comply with law and professional obligations.
How we share information
- With the attorney. Inquiries are delivered to Henry Dog and, as needed, the attorney's staff. Inquiries are not sold or shared with other lawyers or law firms.
- Site operator. Ward M administers the Site and its form service and may have technical access to submissions only as needed to maintain the Site.
- Service providers who host the Site, process form submissions and provide email, under obligations to use information only to provide their services.
- Advertising partners, such as Google, which collect information through cookies as described above. Form submissions are never shared with advertising partners.
- Legal reasons, when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect rights and safety.
We do not sell the personal information you submit in the inquiry form. Under some state privacy laws, the use of advertising cookies may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising; you can opt out as described below.
Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under state privacy laws, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA, as amended). Regardless of where you live, we will make reasonable efforts to honor the following requests:
- Access / know: request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we hold about you;
- Deletion: request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and professional retention obligations;
- Correction: request that we correct inaccurate information;
- Opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising: use the Google and industry opt-out links above, and we honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals where required by law;
- Non-discrimination: we will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.
To make a request, email hello@chicagolawyer.co with the subject "Privacy Request." We may need to verify your identity. You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law.
Retention
We keep inquiry information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond, to maintain records of conflict checks, and to meet legal and professional obligations, and then delete or de-identify it.
Security
We use reasonable measures, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, which is one reason we ask you not to send confidential information through the Site.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.
Text messages and calls
If you consent, we may contact you by phone call or text message about your inquiry. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, or ask us not to call you. Consent is not required to obtain services.
Changes
We may update this policy and will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be posted on this page.
