Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 22, 2026
Marie A. Mattox, P.A. ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at mattoxlaw.com.
Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the site.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: When you submit the case evaluation form, we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, address, phone number, email address, age, race, gender, preferred contact method, and details about your legal matter such as the date of the incident and a description of what happened.
If you indicate an employment-related matter, we may also collect information about your employer, position, and the circumstances of your employment, including the category of adverse action or legal claim involved (for example, discrimination based on race, sex, religion, color, national origin, or disability; retaliation; or FMLA, harassment, or accommodation-related claims). If your matter involves a claim that you were replaced in your position, we may also collect the age, race, and gender of the person who replaced you.
If you indicate a law-enforcement-related matter, we may also collect the arresting agency and city of arrest. You may also upload a supporting document (such as EEOC or FCHR paperwork), which we receive as an email attachment.
Automatically collected information: When you visit our site, our web hosting provider may collect standard server log data including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is used for security, performance monitoring, and analytics.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your inquiry or case evaluation request
- To communicate with you about legal services
- To improve and maintain our website
- To comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.
3. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in limited circumstances:
- Service providers: We use a third-party web hosting provider to serve this website, which processes server log data on our behalf under their own privacy policy.
- Service providers: We use a third-party email delivery service to process case evaluation form submissions — including any uploaded documents — solely to deliver them to our firm by email.
- Analytics providers: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy, as described in Section 5 below.
- Advertising providers: We use the Meta Pixel to measure the effectiveness of our advertising on Facebook and Instagram. Meta processes this data under its own privacy policy, as described in Section 5 below.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
4. Data Retention
We retain contact form submissions for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and fulfill any related legal or professional recordkeeping obligations. Server log data is retained by our web hosting provider per their data retention policies. Case evaluation form submissions are additionally retained by our email delivery provider per their own data retention and deletion policies, and remain in our firm's email inbox per our internal email retention practices.
5. Cookies and Analytics
We use browser localStorage solely to remember your cookie consent preference. This data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear your localStorage at any time through your browser settings.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site, such as which pages are viewed and how long visitors stay. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information, which may include your IP address, browser and device type, and pages visited. This data is processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising or retargeting, and analytics data is not combined with information you submit through our case evaluation form.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or by blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings.
We also use the Meta Pixel (from Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram) to measure whether visitors who came from our Facebook or Instagram ads went on to call our office or reach our case-evaluation form. The Meta Pixel records which pages you visit and these actions, and may combine this information with your Facebook or Instagram account if you are logged in, to help us measure and target our advertising. This data is processed by Meta under its Privacy Policy. You can manage how Meta uses this information for ads through Meta's Ad Preferences, or opt out of interest-based advertising generally through the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool.
Both Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel only load after you accept cookies via the banner on this site; declining or ignoring the banner means neither one runs.
6. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed to individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
7. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (such as Google Maps). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
8. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
