It has always been the policy of the Firm to comply with the rules of professional conduct, which impose a duty on lawyers and their associated personnel to preserve and protect confidential client information.

This Privacy Statement summarizes the Firm's data protection practices generally and advises our clients, job applicants, website visitors, and other third parties about the privacy policies that may apply to them. It applies to all individuals who access this website and our alerts, newsletters, social media pages, and other communication services.

This website is owned and operated by DiMaggio Law Offices, 533 Northeast 3rd Avenue, Suite R-1, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. By using this website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Statement. If you do not agree, please do not use the website. We may update this statement from time to time.

Information we may collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve our services. This may include your name, email address, and phone number. We do not sell, rent, or share this information with any third parties.

Information you provide voluntarily. We collect information you give us when you communicate by email, phone, or our website forms, when you request information or materials, when you sign up for news or events, and when you apply for a position with the Firm. In relation to career information, that may include employment history and qualifications. We collect only the personal information we need to respond to your request or provide the service you asked for.

Information we collect automatically. When you use this website we may automatically record device and log data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring web page, pages visited, general location, and diagnostic information. When we send email, we may collect whether the message was opened or deleted and the action taken on receipt.

Do not track. We do not currently respond to browser "do not track" signals, because there is no accepted standard for how online services should respond to them. If standards develop, we may adopt a policy and describe it here.

Information from third parties. We may receive personal information about you from third parties, including contact and background information and professional experience. If you connect with us through a social network such as LinkedIn or Facebook, we receive information from that network in accordance with your privacy settings there.

How we may use your information

We retain and use personal information for limited purposes: to fulfill or respond to your requests, to answer your questions, to send materials or email alerts you have asked for, and to evaluate a potential representation. We also process personal information to monitor, investigate, prevent, and mitigate prohibited or illegal activity, to enforce our terms and agreements, to combat spam and malware, to improve our security measures, and to verify identity so unauthorized users cannot access information we hold.

We may use contact information for routine communications about our services and relevant legal developments. You may opt out of those emails at any time by following the instructions included in the message. We reserve the right to send administrative or transactional messages about the website without an opt-out option.

Text messages

If you consent on one of our forms, we may contact you by SMS at the number provided. Consent is not a condition of representation. Reply STOP to opt out at any time. Mobile opt-in data is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

With whom we may share your information

DiMaggio Law Offices does not sell consumer personal information. We do not sell, rent, or share it with third parties except as described here. We reserve the right to disclose visitor information when we have reason to believe disclosure is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with our rights or property, other visitors, or anyone else who could be harmed, and when we believe the law requires it. We will also disclose your information to a person you have given us consent to disclose to, or as required to complete the services you requested.

Aggregate information

We may collect general, non-personal, statistical information about use of the website, such as how many visitors view a page, how long they stay, and which links they select. We use this to learn which areas of the site are most useful and to improve it. This aggregate data does not personally identify you or any other visitor.

Cookies and other tracking technologies

It is not our practice to link information recorded by cookies to personal information you submit, though we reserve the right to do so where necessary to enforce this website's policies, to protect the website, our visitors and clients, or when we believe the law requires it.

Links to other websites

This website may direct you to other sites that are beyond our control. Those sites may set their own cookies, collect data, or request personal information, and their privacy policies may differ significantly from ours. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and cannot guarantee the security of any personal information collected there.

Territoriality

Our computer systems are based in the United States and the content of this website is directed to United States residents. Your personal data will be processed by us in the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not be equal to the level of protection in other parts of the world. By visiting this website, you consent to the collection and processing in the United States of any personal and non-personal information collected by the Firm through voluntary submissions, and agree that United States law governs any such collection and processing. The Firm adheres to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for its clients and in its practice. The GDPR is not applicable to this informational website targeted to United States clients.

Security

We take reasonable and appropriate steps to protect the personal information you share with us from unauthorized access or disclosure, including firewall protection and industry standard SSL encryption in transit. No data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of information you disclose or transmit to us online, and cannot be responsible for theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.

Children's privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we become aware that someone under 16 has submitted information without consent from a parent or legal guardian, or as otherwise permitted by law, we will delete it from our records as soon as possible. If you believe we are collecting information about a person under 16, please notify us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

Governing law

This Privacy Statement and the privacy practices of DiMaggio Law Offices are subject exclusively to the laws and rules of the State of Florida, United States of America. We make no representation that this statement and these practices comply with the laws of any other country.

If you reside outside the United States, by using the website you consent to the transfer and use of your information outside your country.

Your information choices

We take reasonable steps to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and current. You may update the personal information we hold by contacting us at contact@dimaggiolawoffices.com. For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before acting on your request. In your request, please make clear what information you would like changed, whether you would like it suppressed from our records, or any other limitation you would like placed on our use of it. We reserve the right to decline to act on a request that is unfounded or excessive, for example because it is repetitive.

The Firm will make reasonable efforts to honor a request to forgo future contact or to delete your information. If you make an opt-out request, we will retain your contact information so that we can make sure you are not contacted again. To the extent required by the CAN-SPAM Act or similar regulation, commercial email messages will also provide an opportunity to opt out. Changes to your preferences may not be effective immediately.
