Introduction

Cornerstone Law & Trust respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through this website, our online forms, appointment scheduling tools, electronic communications, and other digital services associated with Cornerstone Law & Trust.

How We May Use Your Information

We may use information collected through our website and communications for purposes including:

• Responding to inquiries and requests for information.
• Scheduling and managing consultations and case reviews.
• Evaluating whether we may be able to assist with a legal matter.
• Communicating with prospective, current, or former clients.

Calls, Text Messages, Emails, and Other Communications

If you provide your contact information and submit a form, schedule an appointment, or otherwise request communication from us, we may contact you regarding your inquiry, appointment, legal matter, or services.

Communications may include telephone calls, text messages, emails, and, where applicable and permitted, automated or prerecorded messages. Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier and service plan.

Consent to receive communications does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not, where applicable, a condition of purchasing legal services.

Information Submitted Before an Attorney-Client Relationship Is Established

Submitting information through this website, email, scheduling tools, or other online communication methods does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

Until representation has been formally established, information you submit may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege or other confidentiality protections.

Please avoid sending highly sensitive, confidential, proprietary, or time-critical information unless requested by the firm or after an attorney-client relationship has been established.

How We May Share Information

Cornerstone Law & Trust does not sell personal information in the ordinary course of business.

We may share information when reasonably necessary with:

• Service providers that assist with website hosting, security, communications, scheduling, analytics, or technology.
• Professional advisors, consultants, vendors, or contractors supporting firm operations.
• Courts, government agencies, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when required by law.
• Other parties when necessary to protect our rights, safety, property, clients, users, or the public.
• Successors or affiliated entities in connection with a business reorganization, merger, transfer, or similar transaction.

When appropriate, we seek to work with service providers that handle information in accordance with applicable privacy and security requirements.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics tools, server logs, and similar technologies to help operate the website, remember preferences, understand visitor behavior, measure performance, and improve the user experience.

You may be able to manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Website Analytics

We may use website analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools may collect information such as IP address, device type, browser information, pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring websites.

Analytics information is generally used to improve website performance, usability, security, and content.

Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may use or link to third-party platforms and services, including scheduling services, video providers, mapping tools, analytics providers, social media platforms, and other technologies.

These third parties may collect information according to their own privacy policies and practices. Cornerstone Law & Trust does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing information to them.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, alteration, or loss.

However, no website, electronic communication, storage system, or transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the internet.

Data Retention

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal and professional obligations, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the firm’s legitimate interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the nature of our relationship with you.

Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults seeking information about legal services and is not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through this website without appropriate authorization where required.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the ability to request access, correction, or deletion of certain information.

You may also request that we update your contact information or stop certain non-essential communications.

Privacy rights vary by jurisdiction and may be subject to exceptions, professional obligations, legal requirements, or identity verification.

Communication Preferences

You may request to stop receiving certain non-essential marketing or informational communications from us at any time.

Transactional, appointment-related, legal-service, or other necessary communications may still be sent when appropriate.

Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers and devices offer privacy controls or “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not always a uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, our website may not respond to every browser-based privacy signal in the same manner.

Visitors from Florida and North Carolina

Cornerstone Law & Trust serves clients in Florida and North Carolina. Privacy, data protection, professional responsibility, and recordkeeping requirements may vary depending on applicable law and the nature of the information involved.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to reduce or replace any confidentiality obligation that applies once an attorney-client relationship has been established.
