Browser type, device type, operating system, and language settings.
Pages viewed, links selected, referring website, and the date and time of visits.

Consultation Requests and Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, sending an email, or speaking with our staff does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a written agreement signed by Smith Horras and the client.

Until such a relationship has been established, please do not send information that is highly sensitive, confidential, time-sensitive, or subject to an imminent legal deadline. We cannot guarantee that information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is formed will be treated as privileged or confidential.

Cookies are small files stored on a browser or device. The website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, form operation, security, user preferences, and measurement of website performance. Third-party services embedded on the website may also set or access cookies under their own policies.

You can control many cookies through your browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect how some website features function. Where required by applicable law, we will request consent before using non-essential cookies.

Third-Party Services and Embedded Content

The website may use or display services provided by third parties, including website hosting and security providers, form-processing services, analytics tools, Google Maps, online review services, and social-media platforms. These providers may collect information directly from your browser or device and process it according to their own privacy policies.

We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising.

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

Service providers. We may provide information to vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, security, form delivery, analytics, communications, and technical support.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business and legal records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, meeting professional obligations, and complying with law. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
