Privacy Policy

1. Information Siena Law Collects

Siena Law limits the personal information requested through the public Website to information reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, facilitate consultations, operate the Website, and understand Website performance.

Information You Provide

When you contact Siena Law through the Website, Siena Law may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as:

• your name;
• email address;
• telephone number;
• preferred method of contact;
• the general category of legal service you are seeking;
• limited information you choose to provide in a message or inquiry; and
• information reasonably necessary to schedule or respond to a consultation request.

You are not required to provide personal information simply to browse the Website.

Visitors should not submit Social Security numbers, financial account information, payment-card information, medical records, passwords, government identification numbers, detailed asset information, estate-planning documents, copies of legal documents, or other highly sensitive information through a general Website contact form unless Siena Law specifically requests that information through an appropriate method.

Submitting information through the Website does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically by the Website and service providers supporting Website operations.

This may include:

• Internet Protocol (“IP”) address;
• approximate geographic location derived from an IP address;
• browser type and version;
• device type;
• operating system;
• language or general device settings;
• referring website or traffic source;
• pages viewed;
• links or buttons clicked;
• date and time of a visit;
• time spent on Website pages;
• navigation and engagement information;
• campaign or referral parameters;
• cookie or similar browser identifiers;
• session information; and
• other technical information associated with Website use.

Siena Law does not intend to use Website analytics to identify the substance of a visitor’s legal matter.

2. How Siena Law Uses Information

Siena Law may use information collected through the Website to:

• respond to inquiries;
• communicate with prospective clients;
• schedule consultations;
• determine generally whether Siena Law provides the type of legal service requested;
• conduct conflict checks where appropriate;
• provide information requested by a visitor;
• operate and maintain the Website;
• protect the security and integrity of the Website;
• identify technical issues;
• understand how visitors find and use the Website;
• improve Website content, usability, navigation, accessibility, and performance;
• measure the effectiveness of advertising and marketing;
• attribute Website visits and general conversion events to marketing sources;
• maintain appropriate business and professional records;
• comply with applicable legal and professional obligations; and
• protect the rights, property, or safety of Siena Law and others.

Submitting information through the Website does not guarantee that Siena Law will accept a matter or provide legal representation.

3. Prospective Client Communications

A person who communicates with Siena Law for the purpose of discussing possible legal representation may, depending on the circumstances, be considered a prospective client under applicable California professional-responsibility rules.

Siena Law handles information received from prospective clients in accordance with applicable legal and professional obligations.

Contacting Siena Law does not, by itself, establish an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is established only after Siena Law agrees to provide legal representation and any required engagement process has been completed.

Visitors should provide only the information reasonably necessary for Siena Law to understand the general nature of an inquiry unless Siena Law requests additional information.

4. Attorney-Client and Prospective-Client Confidentiality

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit, waive, or reduce any duty of confidentiality Siena Law may owe to a client or prospective client under applicable California law or the California Rules of Professional Conduct.

Information obtained during a qualifying consultation concerning potential legal representation may be protected even if Siena Law ultimately does not undertake the representation.

Because electronic communications involve technical systems and service providers, visitors should nevertheless avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information through a general Website form.

Siena Law may provide a secure or otherwise appropriate method for transmitting additional sensitive information when necessary.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate properly, remember preferences, measure Website performance, understand visitor interactions, and evaluate marketing effectiveness.

Cookies are small pieces of information stored by or associated with a visitor’s browser or device.

Strictly Necessary Technologies

These technologies may be required for Website operation, security, fraud prevention, forms, preference management, or other essential functionality.

Analytics and Performance Technologies

These technologies help Siena Law understand Website traffic, page usage, engagement, referral sources, and general Website performance.

Functional Technologies

These technologies may support Website features or preferences, including embedded content or other interactive functionality.

Advertising and Conversion-Measurement Technologies

If enabled, these technologies may help determine whether advertising or marketing activity resulted in a Website visit, consultation request, telephone call, form submission, or other general conversion event.

Visitors may be able to control certain cookies through browser settings or through a cookie-management or consent tool made available on the Website.

Disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality or the accuracy of analytics.

6. Google Analytics 4

Siena Law expects to use Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to measure and understand general Website usage.

Depending on configuration, GA4 may process information such as:

• page views;
• session information;
• Website engagement events;
• browser and device information;
• approximate geographic information;
• traffic and referral sources;
• campaign information;
• general Website interactions; and
• pseudonymous browser or device identifiers.

Siena Law does not intend to send names, email addresses, telephone numbers, contact-form contents, or other information that directly identifies an individual to Google Analytics.

Siena Law also does not intend to transmit substantive descriptions of legal matters through GA4 events, custom dimensions, URLs, page titles, or similar analytics fields.

Website URLs and analytics configurations should be structured to avoid placing personally identifiable or sensitive information in URL parameters or analytics events.

Google may process information collected through Google Analytics according to Google’s own applicable terms and privacy practices.

7. Google Tag Manager

Siena Law may use Google Tag Manager to manage Website analytics and measurement technologies.

Google Tag Manager may be used to control when and how analytics or measurement tags operate on the Website.

The information processed by a particular tag depends on the configuration of that tag.

Siena Law intends to configure its tagging environment to avoid intentionally forwarding personal contact information or substantive legal-intake information to analytics platforms.

8. Server-Side Tracking

Siena Law may use server-side Google Tag Manager and server-side infrastructure provided or supported by Stape.

Server-side tracking allows certain Website events to be routed through a server-side tagging environment before selected information is forwarded to analytics or measurement providers.

Siena Law may use server-side tracking for purposes such as:

• Website analytics;
• conversion measurement;
• attribution;
• Website performance;
• security;
• data minimization; and
• greater control over information forwarded to third-party measurement platforms.

Information processed in the server-side environment may include limited technical and event information such as page or Website location, referral information, campaign parameters, event type, general Website interaction data, browser or device information, pseudonymous session or browser identifiers, and conversion events.

Siena Law does not intend to forward names, email addresses, telephone numbers, free-text legal inquiries, confidential communications, or other substantive legal-intake information from Website forms into GA4 through the server-side analytics configuration.

Siena Law may use server-side controls to filter, limit, transform, or exclude information before selected data is transmitted to a measurement provider.

9. Analytics Data Minimization

Siena Law intends to configure Website analytics using data-minimization principles.

In particular, Siena Law does not intend to use Website analytics to collect:

• Social Security numbers;
• government identification numbers;
• financial account numbers;
• payment-card information;
• medical records;
• estate-planning documents;
• copies or contents of legal documents;
• beneficiary information;
• detailed asset information;
• passwords;
• substantive communications seeking legal advice; or
• other information unnecessary for Website measurement.

Names, email addresses, telephone numbers, and free-text form responses are intended for legal intake and communication purposes rather than general Website analytics.

10. Advertising and Conversion Measurement

Siena Law may use limited conversion measurement to determine whether marketing efforts result in Website inquiries or other general actions.

For example, Siena Law may record that a consultation form was submitted without transmitting the substantive contents of the inquiry into an analytics system.

Conversion information may include:

• the occurrence of a form submission;
• the general type of Website conversion;
• advertising or campaign identifiers;
• referral information;
• page information; and
• similar non-substantive measurement information.

If Siena Law materially changes its advertising or measurement practices, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

11. Website Forms

Website forms are intended to collect only information reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry or consultation request.

Siena Law may request information such as:

• name;
• email address;
• telephone number;
• preferred contact method;
• general service category; and
• a limited message concerning the reason for contacting Siena Law.

Visitors should not include unnecessary confidential or highly sensitive information in an initial Website inquiry.

Information submitted through a Website form is intended for legal intake and communication purposes and is not intended to be used as Website analytics content.

12. Server and Security Logs

The Website’s hosting, security, infrastructure, or content-delivery providers may automatically generate technical logs when the Website is accessed.

Logs may include IP address, browser information, date and time of a request, requested Website resource, referring source, device information, and technical or security information.

These records may be used for Website security, fraud and abuse prevention, troubleshooting, system administration, and performance monitoring.

13. Disclosure to Service Providers

Siena Law may allow personal information to be processed by service providers that assist with Website and firm operations.

Depending on the systems actually in use, these providers may include:

• Website hosting and infrastructure providers;
• Website development or technical support providers;
• server-side tagging infrastructure providers;
• analytics providers;
• email and communication providers;
• consultation scheduling providers;
• client-intake or practice-management providers;
• cybersecurity providers; and
• other vendors necessary to operate the Website or respond to inquiries.

Siena Law seeks to disclose only information reasonably necessary for a service provider to perform the applicable service.

14. Other Disclosures

Siena Law may disclose information when reasonably necessary or legally required to:

• comply with applicable law;
• respond to a valid subpoena, court order, or governmental request;
• comply with professional-responsibility obligations;
• protect legal rights;
• detect or investigate fraud, misuse, or security incidents;
• protect the safety of individuals; or
• establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to require Siena Law to disclose information protected by attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, professional confidentiality obligations, or another applicable legal protection.

15. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Siena Law does not sell personal information for monetary compensation.

Siena Law does not intend to use the substantive content of legal inquiries or prospective-client communications for cross-context behavioral advertising.

California privacy laws may define the terms “sale” and “sharing” more broadly than an exchange of information for money.

If Siena Law adopts technology or practices that constitute a “sale” or “sharing” under an applicable California privacy law, Siena Law will provide any disclosures and opt-out mechanisms required by that law.

16. California Online Privacy Protection Act

Siena Law operates a commercial Website that may collect personally identifiable information from California consumers, including names, email addresses, telephone numbers, and other information voluntarily submitted through Website forms.

The California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”) requires covered commercial websites and online services to conspicuously post a privacy policy describing online information practices.

This Privacy Policy describes:

• the categories of personally identifiable information Siena Law may collect;
• the purposes for which information may be used;
• the categories of third parties that may receive or process information;
• how visitors may contact Siena Law concerning information submitted through the Website;
• Siena Law’s practices concerning online tracking;
• whether third-party technologies may collect information concerning Website use;
• how material changes to this Privacy Policy will be communicated; and
• the effective date of this Privacy Policy.

17. Reviewing or Correcting Information You Submitted

If you would like to ask about, review, or request correction of personal contact information previously submitted through the Website, you may contact Siena Law using the contact information provided below.

Whether Siena Law can modify or delete particular information may depend on applicable legal requirements, professional-responsibility obligations, conflict-check requirements, evidentiary obligations, record-retention requirements, security requirements, and other legitimate legal or professional needs.

18. California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), applies only to businesses that satisfy applicable statutory requirements.

Not every California business is subject to the CCPA.

If and to the extent Siena Law becomes subject to the CCPA with respect to particular personal information, Siena Law will provide the rights and disclosures required by applicable law.

Those rights may include, subject to applicable exceptions:

• the right to know;
• the right to access;
• the right to request correction;
• the right to request deletion;
• the right to opt out of applicable sales or sharing;
• applicable rights relating to sensitive personal information; and
• the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to imply that Siena Law is currently subject to every provision of the CCPA where the statutory requirements for coverage are not met.

19. Attorney-Client Privilege and Other Legal Protections

Privacy rights and information requests may be subject to exceptions or limitations where information is protected or must be retained under attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections, duties owed to current, former, or prospective clients, evidentiary privileges, conflict-of-interest requirements, legal holds, court orders, professional-responsibility rules, or other applicable legal obligations.

Siena Law will handle applicable privacy requests consistently with legal and professional duties.

20. Do Not Track

Some browsers allow users to transmit a traditional “Do Not Track” signal.

There is currently no single universally adopted technical standard governing how websites must interpret traditional Do Not Track signals.

Accordingly, the Website may not respond to traditional Do Not Track signals in a uniform manner.

This section does not affect any obligation Siena Law may have under applicable law to honor a legally recognized opt-out preference signal.

21. Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Certain browsers or browser extensions may transmit recognized privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).

Where applicable California law requires Siena Law to honor a valid opt-out preference signal, Siena Law will process that signal as required by law.

The availability of an opt-out right depends on the data practice involved and whether the applicable privacy statute applies to Siena Law.

22. Email Communications

If you contact Siena Law through email, Siena Law may retain the email address, message, attachments, and related correspondence as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, evaluate a request for legal services, conduct appropriate conflict checks, maintain business or professional records, comply with legal or ethical requirements, or provide legal services if an attorney-client relationship is established.

Email transmitted over the public internet cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Siena Law may provide another means of communication when transmission of particularly sensitive information is appropriate.

23. Telephone Communications

If you telephone Siena Law, Siena Law may retain information reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, schedule a consultation, conduct intake, or maintain appropriate records.

This Privacy Policy does not state that Siena Law records telephone calls unless that practice is actually implemented and separately disclosed where appropriate.

24. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services to provide particular Website functions.

When you leave the Siena Law Website or directly interact with a third-party service, that third party’s own privacy practices may apply.

Siena Law does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of unaffiliated third-party websites.

Visitors are encouraged to review applicable third-party privacy policies before submitting information directly to those services.

25. Data Retention

Siena Law retains information for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required or permitted by applicable law and professional obligations.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, whether a consultation or attorney-client relationship occurred, conflict-check requirements, professional-responsibility obligations, legal requirements, security needs, and appropriate business recordkeeping requirements.

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be securely deleted, de-identified, or otherwise disposed of where appropriate.

26. Data Security

Siena Law uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or loss.

Safeguards may include, as appropriate:

• encrypted Website connections;
• access controls;
• authentication protections;
• secure hosting;
• security monitoring;
• software and system updates;
• vendor-management practices;
• data-minimization practices;
• analytics filtering; and
• server-side controls concerning information transmitted to measurement providers.

No Website, server, email system, network, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, Siena Law cannot guarantee absolute security.

27. Children’s Privacy

The Website is intended for adults seeking information concerning legal services and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

Siena Law does not knowingly use the Website to collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13.

If Siena Law learns that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances prohibited by applicable law, Siena Law will take reasonable steps to address the information as required.

28. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Siena Law may update this Privacy Policy when the Website, technology, service providers, information practices, or applicable legal requirements change.

When the Privacy Policy is revised, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be changed.

If Siena Law makes a material change to its privacy practices, Siena Law will provide any additional notice required by applicable law.

Visitors are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

29. Contact Siena Law, P.C.

30. Effective Date
