This policy explains what information singler-law.net collects, why, who it goes to, and how to stop any collection activities.
The short version
- We collect what you send us: the details you type into the Strategy Session form, and the answers you give in the Legal Vitals check-up.
- The check-up does not identify you. Your answers are recorded against a random identifier generated when the page loads. It contains no name, no email address, no advertising click identifier, and no value derived from your IP address, and it is not linked to anything you submit later. We learn who you are only if you ask us to email you the results.
- We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Analytics and advertising cookies are on when you arrive, and you can switch either of them off at any time through Cookies Settings. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honour it automatically and they stay off.
- We do not share or sell mobile phone numbers or text-message consents with anyone for marketing purposes.
- Please do not send us confidential case details through this site until we have a signed engagement agreement and we establish a secure form of transmission with you.
Who we are
Singler Professional Law Corporation is a California professional law corporation with its office at 103 Johnson Street, Windsor, California 95492. It provides services to clients located in California, or providing services within California (such as representation in California legal actions). Services to non-California clients are provided by Singler, P.C., a Texas Professional Corporation, with its primary office at 402 W. Annie Street, Austin, Texas. No attorney-client relationship is formed, and no services will be provided, without a written engagement letter, which will specify the providers and terms of service.
The mailing address for both entities is PO Box 2298, Windsor, CA, 95492. For questions regarding this policy, write to [email protected] or call (707) 823-8719.
This policy covers singler-law.net, the site you are reading now. It does not cover our main firm website at singler-law.com, which carries its own notice, and it does not cover how we handle client files once you become a client. Client information is governed by our engagement agreement and by our professional duty of confidentiality, which is broader than anything described here.
Notice at collection
This is what we collect, why, and how long we keep it. The detail follows below.
| What we collect | Why | Sold or shared? | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name, email, phone, business name, industry, preferred language, and the general topic you type — from the Strategy Session form | To respond to you in the language you chose | No | 24 months if it does not become a matter |
| Whether you agreed to our Legal Notices, and whether you opted in to text messages or email updates — with the exact wording shown to you and the time | To prove what you agreed to, if it is ever questioned | No | 4-6 years, or longer if required by law in any jurisdiction |
| Check-up answers, score, flagged items, time spent, and the campaign that brought you — against a random per-visit identifier, with no advertising click identifiers | Research: to learn which legal gaps California and Texas business owners actually have | No | Indefinitely; nothing identifying is attached |
| Your email address, only if you ask for your check-up results | To send the summary you asked for and follow up about it | No | Until you ask us to delete it |
| Analytics about which pages are read — on unless you switch it off | To know what is worth writing more about | No | Up to 24 months |
| One cookie recording your cookie choices | So we do not ask on every page | No | 12 months |
We do not collect personal information for purposes materially different from these without telling you first.
What we collect
Information you give us on purpose
When you submit the Strategy Session request form, we receive your name, email address, phone number if you provide one, business name if you provide one, the industry and preferred language you select, and whatever general topic you type into the message box. Name, email, industry, and preferred language are required; the rest is optional.
We also record that you agreed to our Legal Notices, whether you separately opted in to text messages, whether you separately opted in to email updates, the exact wording that was on the screen when you did, and the date and time. We keep that because if there is ever a question about what you agreed to, it benefits everyone to have the actual agreement, rather than trying to remember.
The two opt-ins are separate, and neither is required. You can request a Strategy Session without agreeing to either.
The Legal Vitals check-up
When you use the check-up, we record the answers you select, the score they produce, which items were flagged, how long you spent, and the campaign that brought you to the page — the utm parameters in the link you clicked. This is recorded against a random identifier generated when the page loads. That identifier contains no name, no email address, and no value derived from your IP address, and it is not carried over to a later visit.
We deliberately do not record Google or Meta advertising click identifiers (gclid, fbclid) with your check-up answers, because those can be traced back to a person by the platform that issued them.
If you enter your email address to have the results sent to you, that address is stored alongside the record, and at that point the record identifies you. Entering your email is optional; the score and the flagged items are shown to you either way.
Note: If you take the check-up and then request a Strategy Session in the same visit, your score and the items it flagged travel with that request, so whoever calls you already knows what about your responses / concerns. The random identifier does not travel with it, and it is replaced once you submit — so the answers you gave anonymously stay that way and cannot be traced back to you afterwards.
Cookies
We set one strictly necessary cookie to remember your cookie choice. Analytic cookies are set from the moment you arrive unless you switch Analytics off. We do not currently use advertising cookies. If we letter use these cookies, they will be handled in the same manner. Further detailes, including how to switch them off, is in our Cookie Policy.
What we do not collect
We do not ask for and do not want Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, government identification numbers, or health information through this website. We do not use session replay, keystroke recording, or heat-mapping. We run no advertising or retargeting pixels. The advertising category in our cookie settings exists so the control is there if that ever changes; today it loads nothing, and we would update this policy and ask everyone again before it did. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
How we use it
To respond to you. If you request a Strategy Session, we use your contact details to reach you, in the language you selected.
To send you the updates you asked for. If you tick the email box, we send practical general considerations and information for business owners. You can unsubscribe at any time.
To send the results you asked for. If you enter your email in the check-up, we use it to send your summary and to follow up about it.
To understand which legal gaps are most common. We study check-up answers in the aggregate so we know which risks business owners are experiencing. Amnd what topics are worth writing about. This is the main research purpose of the tool.
To see what is working. If you allow Analytics, we look at which pages people read and which sources bring them here.
To meet our professional and legal obligations, including the conflicts-of-interest check we run before we can take on any matter — which happens when we speak with you and gather the details, not from this form, which does not collect enough to run one — and the advertising record-keeping the rules of California, Texas, and Idaho require.
We do not use your information for generating automated decisions, and we do not profile you for advertising.
Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not done so in the preceding twelve months.
We share it with a small number of service providers who process it on our behalf and under contract:
| Who | What they get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| HighLevel, Inc. (GoHighLevel), our client relationship platform | Form submissions and check-up records | So we can respond and keep track |
| Google (Google Analytics) — unless you have switched Analytics off | Page-view data with IP anonymization | Aggregate measurement. Once you switch it off, no analytics script is loaded on your next page view |
| Our email, calendar, and document providers | Correspondence in the ordinary course | Running a law office |
| Our telephone and messaging providers | Phone number, message content | Delivering calls and texts you asked for |
We require each provider to use your information only to perform services for us and not to sell it or use it for its own purposes.
We may also disclose information where we are required to by law, court order, or the rules governing our profession, or where it is necessary to establish or defend a legal claim.
Two things load from third-party networks on every page: the web fonts and the charting library. Neither sets a cookie, but the networks that deliver them receive your IP address as part of the ordinary request for the file. This is described in the Cookie Policy.
Text messages and your mobile number
If you give us your mobile number and separately check the box to opt in, we may send you text messages. Checking that box is optional and is never a condition of submitting the form or of receiving legal services.
We do not share or sell mobile phone numbers, text-message opt-in information, or consent records with anyone for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information goes only to the messaging providers and carriers strictly necessary to deliver messages you asked for, and they may not use it for anything else.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP or PARE to unsubscribe, HELP or AYUDA for help. You can also just call us at (707) 823-8719 or write to [email protected]. We honor a request to stop within ten business days, and as a matter of practice we apply it across every channel — if you tell us to stop texting, we stop emailing marketing too.
How long we keep it
| What | How long |
|---|---|
| Strategy Session requests that do not become a matter | 24 months from last contact |
| Strategy Session requests that become a matter | Life of the matter plus the firm's file-retention period — four years |
| Consent records — what you agreed to, the wording, and when | 4 years |
| Check-up records | Indefinitely, as research data. Nothing identifying is attached to them, so we cannot trace them back to you |
| Check-up records where you supplied an email | As long as we have a reason to contact you, and deleted on request |
| Conflicts-check records, once a matter is opened | Life of the firm, so we can run conflicts checks in future matters |
| Analytics data, if you turned it on | Up to 24 months |
| Advertising creatives, landing page versions, and campaign copy | 2 years — our own policy, and longer than the one year California requires |
| Anything under a litigation hold or a legal retention duty | For as long as required. |
Your choices
You can ask us to tell you about what information of your that we have retained, correct it, or delete it, and you can ask us not to sell or share it — we do not, but you can tell us not to and we will record it. Write to [email protected] with enough detail for us to find the record. If you gave us an email address, that address is what we search on.
We will not treat you differently for asking, and there is no charge.
How fast. We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days. If we need longer we will tell you inside that period and may take up to 45 more days.
Verifying you. Before we tell you what we hold or delete it, we have to be reasonably sure you are who you say you are — otherwise we would be handing your information to somebody else. We will ask you to match information we already have. We do not require any verification, and will never ask for photo identification, to record a request that we not sell or share your information.
Someone acting for you. You can have an authorized agent make a request. We may ask for your written permission and ask you to confirm directly that you gave it.
California residents. The firm is a small business and is very likely below the thresholds that make an organization a "business" under the California Consumer Privacy Act. We extend the rights above to everyone anyway, because there is no good reason not to. If our size or our practices change so that the CCPA applies to us, we will update this page and add the additional disclosures the statute requires. (Note for counsel: confirm the threshold analysis annually — the revenue test looks at the prior calendar year and coverage begins January 1 with no grace period.)
Texas residents. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act exempts businesses that qualify as small businesses under the U.S. Small Business Administration's standards, which we do. One obligation applies to us regardless: we may not sell sensitive personal data without your consent. We do not sell any personal data, sensitive or otherwise.
Cookies. Analytics is on when you arrive. You can switch it off at any time through Cookies Settings in the footer, and nothing in a category you switch off will load on your next page view. Switching off does not undo what was already collected before you did, which is the honest limit of an opt-out model — tell us at [email protected] and we will delete it.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we honor it automatically and nothing beyond strictly necessary ever loads — you do not have to touch the banner, and we will not interrupt you to tell you we noticed.
Do Not Track. There is no consistent industry standard for the DNT browser signal and we do not respond to it. We do honor Global Privacy Control.
Security, and its limits
We take reasonable measures to protect what we hold, including limiting access to firm personnel and authorized providers who need it. No website is perfectly secure, and information sent over the internet can be intercepted, which is exactly why the next section matters.
Please read this before you write to us
Do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through this website, by email, or through WhatsApp until we have agreed in writing to represent you. Information you send before an attorney-client relationship exists may not be treated as confidential and may not prevent us from representing someone whose interests are adverse to yours.
The message box on the Strategy Session form asks for a general topic only. Please keep it general.
How privacy disputes are resolved
Any dispute relating to the capture, use, or dissemination of personal or protected information through this site is subject to binding individual arbitration, with a class action waiver and a 30-day right to opt out. The full provision — what it covers, what it does not, where it happens, who pays, and how to opt out — is Section 12 of our Legal Notices. Please read it.
Changes to this policy
If we change what we collect or what we do with it, we will update this page and change the date at the top. If the change is significant, we will also reset the cookie banner so that everyone is asked again rather than carried over on an old answer. We review this page at least once a year whether or not anything has changed.
