This Privacy Policy describes how LaRocque Law LLC, doing business as LaRocque Law ("Firm," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information through our website at https://www.larocque-law.com/ and any related online services that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the "Site").
By using the Site, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
For clarity, LaRocque Law LLC is the legal entity operating the Site, and LaRocque Law is the firm’s assumed business name used in branding and marketing.
Important: Use of this Site, contacting us through the Site, or submitting information to us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through the Site unless and until we have confirmed in writing that we represent you.
1.- Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect:
directly from you through forms, email links, newsletter sign-ups, appointment requests, and other interactions with the Site;
automatically when you visit or use the Site; and
from service providers or third parties that support the operation of the Site.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected offline, through separate engagement arrangements, or through third-party websites or services that are not controlled by us.
2.- Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
A. Information You Provide to Us
Information you choose to submit may include:
your name;
email address;
telephone number;
mailing address;
employer or business information;
information about your legal matter or inquiry, including family law matters such as divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time, child support, maintenance, parentage, orders of protection, post-decree issues, and related domestic relations concerns;
documents or other materials you upload or transmit; and
any other information you choose to provide.
B. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, we or our service providers may automatically collect certain information, such as:
IP address;
browser type and version;
device identifiers;
operating system;
referring URLs;
pages visited and time spent on pages;
date and time of access; and
general usage and diagnostic information.
C. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, tags, session replay tools, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and improve functionality.
Depending on how the Site is configured, these technologies may include:
strictly necessary cookies required for core site functionality;
analytics cookies used to understand how visitors use the Site; and
advertising or social media cookies if we use embedded content, remarketing, or related features.
You can often control cookies through your browser settings. If applicable law requires cookie consent, we will seek consent in the manner required by law.
3.- How We Use Information
We may use personal information to:
operate, maintain, and improve the Site;
respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
evaluate potential representations or service requests, including inquiries relating to Illinois family law matters;
schedule consultations or intake calls;
send newsletters, alerts, legal updates, or marketing communications, where permitted by law;
monitor, analyze, and improve Site performance and user experience;
detect, prevent, and address security incidents, fraud, misuse, or unlawful activity;
comply with legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations; and
establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
4.- Basis for Processing
If and to the extent applicable law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, we may process such information based on:
your consent;
our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site and our services;
taking steps at your request before entering into a professional relationship;
compliance with legal obligations; and
other grounds permitted by applicable law.
5.- How We Share Information
We may disclose personal information:
to website hosting providers, cloud providers, analytics providers, intake platform providers, IT support vendors, and other service providers that perform services for us;
within our firm as necessary to review inquiries and operate our business;
to professional advisers, auditors, insurers, or similar providers;
if required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process;
when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, property, confidentiality, or security;
in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our practice or assets; and
with your consent or at your direction.
We do not sell personal information for money. If applicable law defines certain disclosures for analytics or advertising as a "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising," you should revise this section to reflect your actual website practices.
6.- Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidential Information
Communicating with us through the Site, including through a contact form or email link, does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Information submitted through the Site may not be treated as privileged or confidential unless and until we have completed our conflicts review and agreed in writing to represent you.
Because family law matters often involve highly sensitive personal information, including information about children, finances, health, relationships, or abuse allegations, you should avoid sending highly sensitive, proprietary, privileged, or time-sensitive information through the Site unless specifically requested and secured through an approved channel.
7.- Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:
respond to your request or inquiry;
maintain business and operational records;
comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, ethical, and professional obligations; and
resolve disputes and enforce agreements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the interaction, and applicable legal requirements.
8.- Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
If you believe your interaction with the Site is no longer secure, please contact us promptly using the contact information below.
9.- Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence and subject to applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including rights that may be available under Illinois law or the privacy laws of other states where Site visitors reside. These rights may include the right to:
know whether we process your personal information;
request access to personal information we maintain about you;
request correction of inaccurate personal information;
request deletion of personal information;
obtain a copy of certain personal information in a portable format;
opt out of certain types of profiling, targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information, if applicable; and
appeal a denial of certain privacy rights requests, where required by law.
We may need to verify your identity before processing a request. We may also deny or limit requests as permitted by applicable law, including where legal privilege, attorney ethical obligations, conflicts requirements, record-retention duties, or other exemptions apply.
To exercise any applicable privacy rights, please contact us using the information in the "Contact Us" section below.
10.- Do Not Track and Browser Signals
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting or similar privacy preference signals. Because there is not yet a universally accepted standard for responding to all such signals, we may not respond to them unless required by applicable law. If your Site is configured to recognize legally required opt-out preference signals, revise this section accordingly.
11.- Third-Party Links and Services
The Site may contain links to third-party websites, tools, maps, payment processors, video platforms, social media features, or other services. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing information.
12.- Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Site, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
13.- Cross-Border Transfers
If you access the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. By using the Site where permitted by law, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.
14.- Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy, to the extent permitted by law.
