At scottgoering.com (the “Site”), operated by the Law & Mediation Offices of Scott Goering, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may provide to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information from you in the following ways:
Contact Information: When you use our “Contact Us” form or email us directly, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and any details regarding your legal or mediation inquiry.
Usage Data: Like most websites, we may collect non-identifying information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit to help us improve site functionality.
Cookies: Our website (built on WordPress) may use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Respond to your inquiries and schedule mediation sessions.
Provide information regarding our services (Family Law, Real Estate Disputes, Group Facilitation).
Process fee payments or deposits as agreed upon in our fee schedule.
Comply with legal and ethical obligations as a member of the California Bar.
3. Confidentiality and Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. As a mediation practice, we hold confidentiality in the highest regard. However, please note:
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Third-Party Service Providers: We may use trusted third-party services (such as website hosting or email providers) to operate our website, provided those parties agree to keep this information confidential.
4. Attorney-Client Relationship
Providing information through the “Contact Us” form or via email does not create an attorney-client relationship. While we treat all communications with a high degree of privacy, please refrain from sending highly sensitive or confidential case details until a formal agreement has been signed.
5. Data Security
We implement a range of security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, or to request that we correct or delete that data. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address below.
7. Changes to This Policy
