This Privacy Policy explains how the Law Office of Sue So ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit suesolaw.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Policy.
01 Information We Collect
Information you voluntarily provide. If you contact us by email (for example, to inquire about legal services) we receive the content of your message, your email address, and any other information you choose to share. The Site does not operate forms, accounts, or other intake mechanisms; communications happen through your own email client or LinkedIn.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, the Site is hosted on a third-party provider (Netlify) that logs basic technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to operate, secure, and improve the Site. We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising cookies.
Cookies. The Site does not set its own cookies. When you load a page, fonts may be served from Google's content-delivery network (Google Fonts). These font requests do not place tracking cookies but do transmit your IP address to Google. See Google's privacy policy for details.
02 How We Use Information
We use information to:
- respond to inquiries you initiate;
- operate, maintain, and secure the Site;
- detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access; and
- comply with our legal and professional obligations.
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use it to target advertising.
03 How We Share Information
We share information only as needed to operate the Site or as required by law:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers (such as Netlify) that operate the Site on our behalf, subject to their own privacy practices.
- Legal compliance. We may disclose information to comply with a subpoena, court order, regulatory request, or similar legal obligation.
- Professional responsibilities. Communications you send may be subject to applicable rules of professional conduct, including duties of confidentiality once an attorney-client relationship is established.
04 Data Retention
We retain inquiry emails for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, comply with applicable record-keeping rules, and address legal claims. Server logs maintained by our hosting provider follow that provider's retention schedule.
05 Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send confidential or privileged information through unencrypted email, particularly before an attorney-client relationship has been formed.
06 Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
- confirm whether we process information about you;
- access, correct, or delete that information;
- opt out of certain processing activities; and
- appeal a denial of any of the above.
Residents of Colorado (under the Colorado Privacy Act), California (under the California Consumer Privacy Act/CPRA), and certain other states have specific rights. Residents of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland have rights under applicable data protection laws. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at sue@suesolaw.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
07 Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will delete it.
08 Third-Party Links
The Site contains a link to our LinkedIn profile. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of LinkedIn or any other external site you may visit from links on the Site.
09 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective Date" at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be posted on this page.
10 No Attorney-Client Relationship
This Site is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Visiting the Site, reading its contents, or sending an email to the address listed on the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Law Office of Sue So. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have agreed in writing to represent you in a specific matter, completed any required conflict-of-interest check, and you have signed an engagement letter. Do not send confidential, privileged, or time-sensitive information through this Site or by unencrypted email before such a relationship is established. Unsolicited communications may not be treated as privileged or confidential.
11 Bar Admissions
Sue So is licensed to practice law in Colorado. She is also a member of the State Bar of California (inactive status) and is not currently authorized to practice law in California. This Site is not intended as legal advice, solicitation, or an offer of representation in any jurisdiction in which doing so would violate applicable rules of professional conduct.
