Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how T. M. Rutledge Law, PLLC (the "firm," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit tmrutledgelaw.com (the "site") or contact us through it. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Effective date: June 15, 2026

Information We Collect

Information you provide

When you submit our contact form, you provide your name, email address, an optional phone number, and the message you write. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. Please do not include confidential or sensitive details in the form—submitting it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, certain technical information is collected automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through our hosting provider's logs and, where you have consented, through analytics cookies.

How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to inquiries and consultation requests you send us.
  • To operate, maintain, and secure the site, including screening the contact form for spam and abuse.
  • To understand how visitors use the site so that we can improve it.
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect our legal rights.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use the information you submit to send you marketing messages.

Cookies and Analytics

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand site usage in aggregate. Analytics cookies are not set until you consent. Visitors in the EU and UK are shown a consent banner and no analytics cookies are placed unless they accept. Visitors elsewhere may have analytics enabled under implied consent and can opt out at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the site footer. Where analytics run, IP addresses are anonymized.

Essential cookies and local storage needed for the site to function—such as remembering your cookie choice—are always active. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies through their settings.

Service Providers

We rely on a small number of third-party providers to operate the site. Each receives only the information needed to perform its function:

  • Cloudflare — hosts the site and provides security, including the Turnstile bot-screening challenge on the contact form.
  • Google Analytics — provides aggregate, consent-based usage analytics.
  • Resend — delivers the email generated when you submit the contact form.

These providers process information on our behalf and under their own privacy and security obligations. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the firm or others.

Data Retention and Security

We retain contact-form messages for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and to maintain our records, and we delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed. We use reasonable administrative and technical measures—including encrypted connections (HTTPS)—to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

  • You can decline or withdraw analytics consent at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.
  • You can choose not to submit the contact form and instead reach us by phone or mail.
  • Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Children's Privacy

The site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Not Legal Advice

This Privacy Policy describes our information practices for the website. It is not legal advice, and reading it or contacting the firm through the site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please review the disclaimer in the site footer for more information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date above. Your continued use of the site after a change takes effect means you accept the updated policy.
