Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 7, 2026

DeGroot Law Firm PLLC ("we," "us," or "the firm") operates degrootlaw.org. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you complete an intake form or contact us, we collect your name, phone number, email address, preferred language, and the details you provide about your legal matter.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our site we and our advertising providers may collect your IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and the website or advertisement that referred you. We use cookies and similar technologies for this purpose.

Advertising and analytics. We use the Meta pixel and Google Ads conversion tracking to measure the performance of our advertising. These tools may set cookies and collect information about your visit. You can control cookies through your browser settings and opt out of personalized advertising through the settings offered by Meta and Google.

How we use your information

• To respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether we can assist you
• To contact you by phone, text message, or email about your inquiry
• To schedule and confirm consultations
• To measure and improve our advertising and our website
• To meet our legal, ethical, and professional obligations

Text messaging

If you check the box consenting to text messages, we may send you messages confirming we received your inquiry, scheduling a consultation, reminding you of an appointment, and following up on your specific matter. These are transactional and informational messages only. We do not send promotional or marketing text messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe at any time or HELP for help.

We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or your SMS consent with any third party or affiliate for their own marketing purposes. We share it only with the service providers who deliver messages on our behalf, and only for that purpose.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of hiring the firm or of receiving any service.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:

• With service providers who host our website, deliver our messages, and manage our client records, under obligations of confidentiality
• With our advertising providers, limited to the analytics and measurement described above
• When required by law, court order, or the rules of professional conduct

Confidentiality and attorney-client privilege

Submitting a form on this website does not create an attorney-client relationship and information you send through it is not protected by the attorney-client privilege until we have agreed in writing to represent you. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive details through the website. Once we represent you, your information is protected under the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct.

Data security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. These include encrypted transmission over HTTPS, access controls that limit which people at the firm can view your records, and selecting service providers based in part on their own security practices. No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, contact us using the details below.

Data retention

We keep inquiry information as long as needed to respond to you and to meet our record-keeping obligations, and longer where required by law or professional rules.

Your choices

You may ask us to correct or delete your information, and you may opt out of text messages, emails, or calls at any time. Contact us using the details below.

Children

Our services are not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date above will change when we do.
