Hayes + Associates (“H+A,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information through www.hayesassoc.com.

This policy addresses our public website and initial inquiries. Information received during an established professional engagement may also be subject to a separate agreement and applicable professional or legal obligations.

Information you provide

When you contact us through our website, we collect the information you choose to provide. Our inquiry form requests:

• First and last name

• Phone number

• Law firm or organization

• How you learned about H+A or who referred you

• Case type and plaintiff or defense designation

• Jurisdiction

• Stage of litigation

• Key deadlines

• A brief matter summary

Your name, email address, and brief matter summary are required to submit the form. Other fields are optional. We also receive information you provide when communicating with us by email or telephone.

Please keep initial inquiries general. Do not submit confidential, privileged, medical, or other sensitive information about yourself or another person until we have discussed the appropriate process for sharing it.

Submitting an inquiry does not establish a professional engagement or guarantee that we can accept your matter.

Information collected automatically

Our website hosting provider, Squarespace, and other enabled website services may automatically collect technical and usage information. This may include your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring website, and the dates and times of visits.

Cookies and similar technologies may be used to support website functionality, maintain security, and understand how visitors use the website.

How we use information

We use information submitted through our inquiry form to respond to you, discuss your potential matter, and assess whether H+A may be able to assist.

We use technical and usage information to operate, protect, troubleshoot, and improve the website.

We may also retain or use information as needed to comply with legal obligations, maintain appropriate business records, or protect our legal rights.

We do not use inquiry information for mailing lists or promotional campaigns.

How information is disclosed

We do not sell personal information.

We may disclose information to service providers that support our website, form processing, email communications, data storage, and other business operations, as needed to perform those functions.

We may also disclose information when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or when reasonably necessary to protect legal rights, address fraud or security concerns, or protect the safety of others.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate records, and meeting legal obligations.

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we handle. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
