This Privacy Policy explains how Southshore Partners, LLC (“Southshore Partners,” “we,” or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit southshoreptnrs.com (the “Site”) or contact us through it.
Information we collect
Information you provide
When you use our contact form or email us, we collect the information you choose to share, such as your name, email address, phone number, area of interest, and the content of your message. Please limit an initial inquiry to contact details and a high-level description of the matter.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the Site, our hosting and other website service providers may automatically receive basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, pages requested, and the date and time of your visit. These providers may also receive limited technical information when your browser loads resources used to display the Site. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics on the Site.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiry and assess whether we may be able to assist, including conducting conflict checks.
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
- To comply with legal and professional obligations.
We do not sell personal information or disclose it to third parties for their own marketing. We may use service providers to operate the Site, receive and route inquiries, and provide related technical services. They process information on our behalf for those purposes.
Other disclosures
We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others. If our practice is reorganized or transferred, information may be handled as part of that process, subject to applicable law and our professional obligations.
No attorney-client relationship; prospective clients
Submitting an inquiry through the Site does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information until we have completed an initial conflict check and confirmed in writing that we can represent you. A person who consults with a lawyer about possible representation may have protections under applicable professional-conduct rules even if no engagement follows. Please keep your initial message brief; we may request additional information after the initial conflict review.
Retention and security
We retain inquiry information for as long as reasonably needed to respond, conduct and document conflict checks, maintain appropriate firm records, and meet legal and professional obligations. Retention periods depend on the type of information and the applicable obligations. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your choices
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of information you submitted through the Site by emailing info@southshoreptnrs.com. We will consider and respond to requests under applicable law and our legal and professional record-keeping obligations.
Children
The Site is intended for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Links to other sites
The Site may link to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the effective date above will be updated.
