Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Gans Law, P.A. / Gans Law (“Gans Law,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information of visitors to our website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, when we may share it, and the choices you may have regarding your information.
This Privacy Policy applies to visitors of our website, including gansjustice.com, contact forms, consultation request pages, online scheduling links, payment links, and any other online feature that links to this Privacy Policy.
We collect only the information reasonably needed to operate our website, respond to inquiries, evaluate potential legal matters, communicate with visitors, improve our services, protect our systems, and comply with legal and professional obligations. We do not sell visitor information for money, and we do not use information submitted about a legal matter for unrelated marketing purposes.
1. Important Notice About Legal Communications
Submitting information through this website, an online form, email, text message, phone call, scheduling link, payment link, or other online tool does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship with Gans Law.
Please do not submit highly sensitive, privileged, confidential, or time-sensitive legal information through the website unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been established. Although we take privacy seriously, ordinary website forms, emails, and online tools may not provide the same level of protection as communications made after a formal attorney-client relationship has begun.
If Gans Law agrees to represent you, information related to your legal matter may be protected by attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections, professional confidentiality rules, court rules, and applicable law.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information in the following ways.
A. Information You Choose to Provide
When you contact us through the website or otherwise communicate with us, you may choose to provide personal information such as:
Your name; phone number; email address; mailing address; preferred contact method; county or general location; appointment preferences; consultation request details; payment-related information; documents or files you submit; and any other information you voluntarily provide.
Because Gans Law provides legal services, some information you choose to provide may relate to legal matters, criminal allegations, traffic matters, arrests, court cases, injunctions, restraining orders, driver’s license issues, expungement or sealing matters, or other sensitive issues. We treat this information carefully and use it only for legitimate business, legal, intake, communication, and representation-related purposes.
B. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, including:
IP address; browser type; device type; operating system; referring website; pages viewed; links clicked; date and time of visit; approximate location derived from IP address; time spent on pages; website performance data; cookie identifiers; advertising identifiers; and similar website usage information.
We use this information to help operate the website, understand general visitor activity, improve the user experience, measure marketing performance, detect fraud or abuse, and protect the security of our website.
C. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, analytics tools, advertising tools, and similar technologies. These technologies help us understand how visitors use the website, improve site performance, prevent misuse, remember preferences, measure advertising, and provide more relevant information to visitors.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others may be used for analytics or advertising. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how certain website features work.
3. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website and to improve the website’s performance, content, and user experience.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, device and browser information, approximate location, interactions with website content, and cookie or device identifiers. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to provide these services.
We do not intentionally send names, phone numbers, email addresses, legal matter details, or other directly identifying information to Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics to evaluate website performance and general usage trends, not to review the substance of individual legal inquiries.
Google may process information collected through Google Analytics in accordance with Google’s own privacy practices. Visitors may be able to limit Google Analytics tracking through browser settings, cookie controls, Google privacy settings, or available browser add-ons.
4. Facebook / Meta Technologies
We may use Meta technologies, including the Meta Pixel, Facebook advertising tools, Instagram advertising tools, and related Meta Business Tools, to measure advertising performance, understand website interactions, and show more relevant information to people who may be interested in our services.
Meta technologies may use cookies, pixels, and similar tools to collect information about visits to our website, such as pages viewed, buttons clicked, interactions with website content, device information, browser information, IP address, cookie identifiers, and other online activity information.
We do not intentionally share the substance of legal inquiries, case facts, confidential communications, or attorney-client information with Meta for advertising purposes. We use Meta tools for general website measurement, ad performance, and audience-related advertising functions.
Meta may use information collected through its technologies in accordance with Meta’s own privacy practices. Visitors can manage certain Meta advertising and privacy preferences through their Facebook, Instagram, or Meta account settings, browser settings, cookie controls, and device-level privacy settings.
5. Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising
We may use Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to help us understand how visitors interact with our website, improve website usability, identify technical issues, measure advertising performance, and protect against fraud or misuse.
Microsoft Clarity may collect website interaction data such as clicks, scrolling, navigation activity, page interactions, heatmaps, session activity, browser information, device information, approximate location, and related usage data through cookies and similar technologies.
We use these tools to improve our website and visitor experience. We do not intentionally use session-replay or analytics tools to collect the substance of confidential legal inquiries. Where available, we seek to limit or mask sensitive form fields and unnecessary personal information from analytics and session-replay tools.
Microsoft may process information collected through these tools in accordance with Microsoft’s own privacy practices.
6. How We Use Information
We may use information collected through the website to:
Respond to inquiries and consultation requests; evaluate whether we may be able to assist with a legal matter; schedule appointments; communicate with you; provide legal services if an attorney-client relationship is formed; process payments; operate and maintain the website; improve website content and functionality; analyze website performance; measure advertising effectiveness; protect against spam, fraud, abuse, or security incidents; comply with legal, ethical, accounting, regulatory, and professional obligations; maintain appropriate business and legal records; enforce our rights, agreements, and policies; and protect our clients, visitors, firm, systems, and legal interests.
We do not use information submitted about a legal matter for unrelated marketing. We do not sell intake information or legal inquiry details to lead brokers, data brokers, or unrelated third-party marketers.
7. How We Share Information
We share personal information only when reasonably necessary for legitimate business, legal, operational, professional, or compliance purposes.
We may share information with:
Attorneys, employees, contractors, intake personnel, and representatives of Gans Law; website hosting and maintenance providers; analytics providers; advertising and marketing service providers; Microsoft Clarity, Microsoft Advertising, Google Analytics, Meta, and similar technology providers; scheduling and client-intake platforms; payment processors; customer relationship management or practice management platforms; communications providers; email, phone, text, or call-related service providers; data security vendors; professional advisors, including accountants, auditors, insurers, and legal counsel; courts, agencies, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when required or permitted by law; and other parties with your consent or at your direction.
We do not sell your personal information for money. However, some privacy laws define “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” broadly enough to include certain analytics, advertising, cookies, pixels, or similar technologies. Where legally required, we will provide applicable opt-out rights.
8. Third-Party Services and Links
Our website may link to or integrate with third-party websites and services, including online scheduling tools, payment processors, maps, review platforms, social media platforms, analytics tools, advertising networks, and legal practice management tools.
These third-party services may collect information directly from you and may use their own cookies, pixels, tracking technologies, privacy policies, and terms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. You should review their privacy policies before submitting information or using those services.
9. Online Scheduling, Payments, and Client Intake Tools
If you use an online booking link, consultation scheduling tool, payment link, or intake-related feature, your information may be collected and processed by that third-party provider as well as by Gans Law.
Information submitted through these tools may include contact information, appointment details, payment details, billing information, matter-related information, and communications. Payment card or financial information may be processed by third-party payment processors, and Gans Law may not receive full payment card numbers.
We use these providers to help us operate efficiently, communicate with prospective and existing clients, process payments, and manage legal-service requests.
10. Data Minimization and Protection of Legal Information
We aim to collect only the information reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is provided. Visitors should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through website forms.
When we receive information related to a potential legal matter, we use it primarily to evaluate the inquiry, respond to the visitor, conduct intake, check for conflicts where appropriate, schedule a consultation, provide legal services if representation is accepted, and comply with professional obligations.
We do not intentionally disclose legal inquiry details to advertising platforms for targeted advertising. We do not rent, sell, or trade legal inquiry details.
11. Advertising and Remarketing
We may use online advertising services to promote Gans Law. These services may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to measure ad performance, understand whether visitors interacted with our website after seeing an ad, prevent ad fraud, and help display relevant ads.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information. You may also limit tracking through browser settings, cookie controls, device settings, privacy plug-ins, and platform advertising preferences.
12. How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to respond to inquiries, evaluate potential legal matters, provide legal services where applicable, maintain business and legal records, comply with professional obligations, resolve disputes, protect legal rights, satisfy accounting or tax obligations, and comply with applicable law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, whether an attorney-client relationship was formed, the nature of the legal matter, applicable professional responsibility rules, court requirements, legal holds, and business recordkeeping needs.
13. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, online form, email system, text message, phone system, or electronic transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. For urgent, highly sensitive, privileged, or confidential legal matters, you should contact us directly by phone or through a secure method specifically agreed upon with the firm.
14. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:
Request access to personal information we maintain about you; request correction of inaccurate information; request deletion of certain information; request a copy of certain information; opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing; limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and appeal a privacy-rights decision where applicable law provides such a right.
To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information listed below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We may deny or limit requests where permitted or required by law, including where information is protected by attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product doctrine, legal ethics obligations, professional recordkeeping rules, court rules, litigation needs, legal holds, or other legal requirements.
15. State-Specific Privacy Rights
Certain U.S. state privacy laws may provide residents with additional rights. These laws may apply only to businesses that meet specific statutory thresholds. Where applicable, we will honor rights provided by relevant state privacy laws.
California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, opt out of sale or sharing, limit certain sensitive personal information use, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.
Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of personal data, and opt out of certain processing, including targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or certain profiling.

23. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, our website may not respond to them. You can use browser settings, cookie controls, privacy plug-ins, device settings, and platform-level opt-out tools to manage certain tracking technologies.
24. No Guarantee of Representation
Contacting Gans Law through the website does not guarantee that we will represent you. We may need to conduct a conflicts check, review the matter, confirm availability, and enter into a written agreement before representation begins.
