PRIVACY POLICY

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At SH Law, led by Principal Attorney Samantha A. Holloway, Esq., we understand that your privacy is of the utmost importance, especially when dealing with sensitive legal matters such as Divorce, Child Custody, or Personal Injury. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or interact with our firm digitally.


As a premier Atlanta, Georgia law firm, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and transparency. By using our website and services, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.


1. Information We Collect

We collect several types of information from and about users of our website to provide a better experience and effectively manage our legal services.


Personal Identification Information

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you fill out a contact form, request a consultation, or sign up for a newsletter. This may include:

  • Full Name
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • Mailing Address
  • Brief description of your legal matter (e.g., details regarding an Auto Accident or a Legitimation case)


Usage Data and Technical Information

When you access our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and your visit, including:

  • IP Address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website addresses
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on those pages
  • Date and time of access


2. How We Use Your Information

SH Law uses the collected data for various purposes intended to enhance our service delivery:

  • To Respond to Inquiries: We use your contact information to provide the information or legal consultations you request.
  • To Improve Our Website: Technical data helps us understand how visitors use our site, allowing us to optimize the layout and content for users in Atlanta, Georgia, and beyond.
  • To Send Marketing Communications: With your consent, we may send you updates regarding Practice Areas like Child Support or Modifications, or firm news. You may opt out of these at any time.
  • Legal Compliance: We may use your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes.


3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use "cookies" and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our website effectively. We use these tools to:

  • Analyze web traffic.
  • Recognize repeat visitors.
  • Tailor our website content to user preferences.


4. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

SH Law does not sell, rent, or lease its customer lists to third parties. We may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, or provide customer support. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to SH Law, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

We will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Samantha A. Holloway, Esq. or the firm.
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of SH Law.
  • Act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of SH Law, or the public.


5. Attorney-Client Confidentiality

It is important to distinguish between website privacy and Attorney-Client Privilege. While this Privacy Policy governs how we handle data on this website, it does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

Once a formal attorney-client relationship is established via a signed engagement agreement, your communications with Samantha A. Holloway, Esq. and the staff at SH Law are protected by much stricter legal and ethical rules regarding confidentiality and privilege under Georgia law.


6. Data Security

We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. We use industry-standard encryption and secure server environments to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.


7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • Access: The right to request copies of your personal data.
  • Correction: The right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
  • Deletion: The right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
  • Withdrawal of Consent: If we are processing your data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Atlanta, Georgia office using the contact details provided below.


8. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to anyone under the age of 18. SH Law does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so that we may take the necessary steps to remove that information from our servers.


9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

SH Law may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect company and customer feedback or changes in the law. We encourage you to periodically review this policy to be informed of how we are protecting your information. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
