Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal information Slick Nick Law collects through this website and its intake tools, why the firm collects it, how long the firm keeps it, and the rights California residents have under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act.
Reference: Civ. Code, § 1798.100 et seq. (CCPA / CPRA).
What the firm collects
- Information you send. When you use the contact form or the intake assistant, the firm collects your name, phone number, email if you give it, the date and location of the incident, the names of people involved, whether you were hurt, whether you are represented, and your description of what happened.
- Scheduling information. If you book a call, the time you picked and a way to reach you.
- Technical information. Standard server logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps — which the firm keeps for security and to run the site.
- Browser storage. The site stores one value in your browser, your chosen color theme. It never reaches the firm, and it does not identify you.
Some of this may be "sensitive personal information" under the CPRA, including details about health. The firm collects it only to evaluate your potential claim and, if you hire the firm, to handle it.
Why the firm collects it
- To check for conflicts of interest before the firm reviews a potential claim.
- To decide whether the firm can represent you, and to schedule a call.
- To provide legal services if you become a client.
- To run, secure, and improve the website.
- To meet the firm's legal and professional-responsibility obligations.
The firm does not use this information for advertising, and does not use automated decision-making to accept or decline representation.
How long the firm keeps it
- Inquiries that do not become clients: up to 12 months after your last contact, then it is deleted, except the limited conflict-check record below.
- Conflict-check record (names of parties, date and general location, and whether you consulted the firm): the firm keeps this for as long as it practices, because it has to check every future matter against prior consultations.
- Client matter files: the firm keeps these under its file-retention policy, generally at least five years after the matter closes, and longer where records concern a minor or the law requires it.
- Server logs and analytics: up to 12 months.
Who the firm shares it with
The firm does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and has not in the past 12 months. It discloses it only to:
- Service providers that host the site, deliver messages, run the calendar, and power the intake assistant, under contracts that limit them to those purposes.
- Co-counsel and experts, if you become a client and your matter requires it.
- Others when the law requires it, such as a court order or a legal or ethical obligation.
Your rights under the CCPA and CPRA
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information the firm has collected about you, and how it uses and discloses that information.
- Ask the firm to delete your personal information, subject to legal and ethical exceptions.
- Ask the firm to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Limit how the firm uses and discloses sensitive personal information to what the services need.
- Not be treated differently for exercising these rights.
Because the firm does not sell or share personal information, there is no opt-out of sale or sharing to request.
How to exercise your rights
Contact the firm using the details on the contact page and say which right you are exercising. Slick Nick Law will verify your identity by matching what you provide against what the firm holds, and will respond within the time the law allows. An authorized agent can make a request for you with proof of authorization.
Children
The site is not for children. The firm does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 through the website. If a claim involves an injured minor, a parent or guardian gives the firm the information.
Changes
If this policy changes, the firm will post the updated version here with a new date. Material changes will be described at the top of the page.
