This Privacy Policy explains what information Lawds Websites (“LAWDS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects when you visit lawdswebsites.org or engage our services, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to respond to you and deliver our services:
- Contact form submissions: name, email, phone number, and the message you send.
- Booking requests: name, email, phone number, selected appointment time, and notes.
- Onboarding details: business name, desired domain, services, hours, pricing, photos, and other project materials you choose to provide.
- Payment information: processed by our payment processor. We receive confirmation details such as amount, date, and last four digits of the card. We never see or store full card numbers.
- Usage and device data: pages viewed, referring page, approximate location, browser and device type, and basic checkout interaction events.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information to:
- Respond to inquiries and schedule calls
- Prepare quotes, deliver projects, and provide support
- Process payments and send receipts and invoices
- Send service and appointment notifications you have requested
- Understand which pages and offers are useful so we can improve the site
- Meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not use it for unrelated advertising.
3. Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies and similar browser storage to keep the site working (such as remembering your onboarding checklist progress and secure session state) and to measure basic, aggregated usage.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Essential cookies are required for checkout, booking, and account features to function correctly.
4. Email Communications
Transactional emails — booking confirmations, reschedule and cancellation notices, payment receipts, and project updates — are sent because you requested a service. Any non-essential email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time without affecting service messages.
5. Service Providers
We share information only with providers that help us operate: hosting and database infrastructure, our payment processor, our email delivery provider, domain registrars, and analytics tooling. Each receives only what is needed for its function and is expected to protect it.
We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
6. Data Retention & Security
We keep inquiries, bookings, and project records for as long as needed to provide services and meet legal or accounting requirements, then delete or anonymize them.
We use commercially reasonable safeguards, including encrypted connections and access-restricted databases. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Choices & Rights
You may request that we:
- Provide a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete your information, subject to legal and accounting retention needs
- Stop sending non-essential email
California residents may exercise rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know and the right to delete. We do not sell personal information. To make a request, contact us through the form on our contact page.
8. Children's Privacy
Our site and services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have, we will delete it.
9. Changes & Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date above reflects the current version, and continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
