As professionals engaged in the provision of legal services to its clients, Texas Blue Law Firm, PLLC is committed to protecting the privacy of confidential and “Personal Information.” It has always been and remains the policy of the firm to comply with the rules of professional conduct, which impose a duty to preserve and protect confidential client information upon lawyers and their associated personnel.

Use of Personal Information for SMS Communication

When you provide your phone number and opt in to receive text messages from Texas Blue Law, we will use this information exclusively for communication regarding your legal matters, customer care, and other services relevant to your case. We utilize third-party service providers, such as Grasshopper, to send and manage these messages. Your personal data will not be shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Please note that, due to the nature of legal matters, some communication regarding your case may involve sensitive information. While we take steps to ensure your data is protected, SMS communication is not fully secure. Therefore, we recommend not sharing highly confidential information via text unless absolutely necessary.

Data Transfer Commitment

We are committed not to transfer your consumer data to any external organizations for marketing or any other purposes without your explicit consent, except as required by law. Your data will only be used for the purpose of providing legal services and communication regarding your case. We have strict internal policies in place to prevent unauthorized sharing of your personal data. Access to your information is limited to authorized personnel only and is shared solely for legitimate business purposes.

Data Sharing and Transfer

We commit not to share your mobile opt-in information with any external organizations for marketing or other purposes without your explicit consent, except as required by law. Your data will only be accessed and shared by authorized personnel for the sole purpose of providing the services you have requested from Texas Blue Law. We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information to third parties.

Additionally, we do not share, sell, or distribute mobile opt-in data with third parties under any circumstances. Your phone number and consent to receive SMS messages will be used exclusively for communication related to our services.

Opt-In and Opt-Out

You may opt in to receive SMS messages by providing your phone number. You can opt out at any time by replying with “STOP” to discontinue receiving future text messages. Message frequency may vary, and standard message and data rates may apply.

Security and Data Protection

We are committed to ensuring the confidentiality of your personal information. While SMS communication is not entirely secure, we employ the following measures to protect your data:

1. Encryption: All personal and sensitive data transmitted through our website is protected using SSL/TLS encryption, ensuring secure communication between our website and your browser. For payment processing, we use secure, PCI-DSS compliant third-party services that encrypt your payment details during transmission and processing.

2. Access Control: Access to your personal data is strictly controlled. We implement role-based access controls within our systems to ensure that only authorized personnel with the necessary permissions can access, view, or manage sensitive user information.

3. Regular Audits: We perform regular security audits on our website and systems to identify and address any vulnerabilities. This includes tracking access logs, conducting security scans, and reviewing data handling practices to ensure your information is protected against unauthorized access.

4. Data Retention and Deletion:

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to provide services and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. If your case requires further legal action or documentation, your information may be retained for future litigation purposes or as needed for legal requirements. Once your information is no longer needed, we will follow applicable laws and best practices for securely managing or disposing of data.

Please note that SMS communication is not entirely secure, and while we take reasonable steps to protect your data, we cannot guarantee complete protection of information sent via text message. By using our services, you consent to our privacy practices, including these security measures to protect your personal data.

SMS Security and Privacy

While Texas Blue Law takes steps to protect your personal information, SMS (text message) communication is inherently less secure than other forms of communication, such as encrypted email or phone calls. Text messages may be intercepted or accessed by unauthorized parties, especially if the device used to send or receive messages is lost, stolen, or compromised.

As a result, we recommend that you refrain from sending highly sensitive or confidential information via SMS unless absolutely necessary. If you need to share sensitive details, we suggest using a more secure communication method, such as encrypted email or direct communication with your attorney.

We use third-party service providers, such as Grasshopper, to send and manage text messages on our behalf. While these providers are responsible for securing the transmission of SMS data, Texas Blue Law cannot guarantee the security of any SMS communication once the message leaves our systems.

If you have concerns about the security of your communications, please feel free to contact us for more information on how to securely communicate regarding your legal matters.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
