Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how DePaoli Law Team ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit this website, contact us, or request a consultation. By using this website, you consent to the practices described here. This policy applies to information collected through this website only. We are a California-based personal injury law firm with our office in Folsom, California.

Please note: contacting us through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship, and information you submit through web forms or email is not protected by the attorney-client privilege until a written engagement agreement is signed. See our Disclaimer for details.

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Information you provide

• Identifiers such as your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address
• Details about your potential legal matter that you choose to share (accident type, date, injuries, insurance information)
• Any other information you include in a contact form, chat, email, or phone call

Information collected automatically

• Device and browser information (IP address, browser type, operating system)
• Usage data (pages visited, time on site, referring URLs, clicks)
• Approximate location derived from IP address
• Information collected through cookies and similar technologies

3. How We Collect Information

We collect information directly from you when you submit a form, call, email, or chat with us; automatically through cookies, web beacons, and analytics tools as you use the site; and from third-party service providers such as analytics, advertising, and hosting platforms that help us operate the website.

4. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we can assist with your potential matter
• To provide, and communicate with you about, legal services once engaged
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
• For marketing and advertising consistent with applicable law and the California Rules of Professional Conduct
• To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, and protect our rights

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure performance, and support advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some features. We may use analytics services (such as Google Analytics) and advertising pixels (such as Google and Meta) that collect usage data subject to their own privacy policies.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with: service providers and vendors who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, communications, marketing); co-counsel or referral counsel where appropriate to your matter and with your knowledge; and government authorities, courts, or others when required by law, subpoena, or to protect legal rights. We require service providers to protect information consistent with this policy.

7. Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the following rights:

• Right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it
• Right to delete personal information we have collected, subject to legal exceptions
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (note: we do not sell personal information)
• Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights

To exercise these rights, contact us at admin@depaolilawteam.com or (916) 962-2896. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by law. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf with proper authorization.

8. Do Not Sell or Share / Do Not Track

We do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are defined under California law. Because there is no industry-standard "Do Not Track" signal, our practices do not change in response to browser DNT signals; however, we honor opt-out preference signals where legally required.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to provide legal services, to comply with our legal, ethical, and recordkeeping obligations (including bar rules governing client files), to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive information through web forms or unencrypted email — such communications are not privileged until an attorney-client relationship is established by a signed agreement.

11. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

12. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

14. Text Messaging (SMS) Consent

If you provide your mobile phone number and check the SMS consent box on one of our forms, you consent to receive text messages from DePaoli Law Team regarding your inquiry, your free consultation, and your potential or active case.

• Consent is not a condition of any purchase or of legal representation.
• Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
• Reply STOP at any time to opt out, or HELP for assistance.
• Your wireless carrier is not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

We do not sell or share your mobile phone number or your SMS opt-in consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in information is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share other categories of information with service providers strictly to operate the text-messaging program and provide our services, as described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
