This privacy policy discloses the privacy practices for the Orange County Traffic Ticket Defense relating to any information collected online from users and visitors of this website: ( The Law Office Of Scott R. Ball – OcTicketDefense.com ). This privacy policy applies exclusively to information collected by this website — what types of information we collect, how and when we use that information, how we protect it, what choices you have with respect to your personal information, and how to contact us regarding our privacy practices.
What personal information is collected via this website and how is it used?
We use the information primarily to provide our users and visitors with a personalized website experience that better delivers the information, resources, and services prospective clients are searching for. We do not share any of the information you provide with others, except as specifically stated in this Privacy Policy.
Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of any information collected from this website. We only have access to information that you voluntarily provide via our Contact Form, by email, by phone or text message, by online Live Chat, or that is collected automatically by our web server logs and cookies.
We collect information about our users and visitors in three ways:
- From the website user or visitor,
- From our web server logs, and
- From cookies.
Directly From The User
Contact Form — If you fill out the Contact Form on this website (a form which is subject to change from time to time), we will ask you to provide some personal information (such as your name, email address, phone number, and a short description of the matter you are inquiring about).
E-Mail — If we provide an email address on this website and you contact us via email, you must realize that email is not known to be foolproof or private; and that sending an email to us does not establish an attorney-client relationship. If you are a client of ours and/or we represent you, it is always possible with the insecurities of email that your communication may not be treated as privileged or confidential. If you communicate with us through this site in a matter for which we already represent or treat you, PLEASE REMEMBER that internet email (and Contact Forms) are not secure by nature and you should avoid sending sensitive or confidential internet messages.
Phone and Text — If you call our office or send us a text message, the information you provide may be recorded in our case management system for the purpose of communicating with you about your matter. See the Text Messaging (SMS) Communications section below for full details on text messaging.
Live Associate Chat — If “Live Associate Chat” is available through this site, you may volunteer or be asked to provide information as to “how we may assist you” (e.g. your purpose for inquiring with us) necessitating you to voluntarily provide a general thumbnail description of your concern, question, possible legal matter, etc. Our Live Chat Associates may be staff, trusted third party associates, or licensed attorneys. In no instance, however, should you assume that you are chatting with a licensed attorney. Even if you are chatting with a licensed attorney, that online chat conversation is not to be considered legal advice, nor does any online chat conversation establish an attorney-client relationship. Please do not submit nor volunteer any “Sensitive Information” including, but not limited to: confidential, proprietary or personally-identifiable information (e.g. confidential legal matters, financial information, date of birth, driver’s license number, credit card numbers, etc.).
If you submit any Sensitive Information via Contact Form, E-Mail, Live Associate Chat, phone, or text, you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission. Moreover, any such communication does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
Text Messaging (SMS) Communications
If you provide your mobile phone number to the Law Office of Scott R. Ball — by calling our office, submitting a contact form on this website, or otherwise communicating with us — you may receive text (SMS) messages from us related to your case or inquiry. Messages may include appointment confirmations, court date notifications, case status updates, requests to sign documents, responses to questions you have sent us, and other case-related communications. Message frequency varies depending on the activity of your case. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
You can opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. You can request help by replying HELP. Opting out of SMS does not opt you out of other forms of communication (such as email or phone calls) regarding your case.
We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information with any third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile information is used solely to communicate with you about your case or inquiry.
From Our Web Server Logs
When you visit our website, we may track information about your visit and store that information in web server logs, which record the visits and activities on our website(s). Virtually all modern web servers are designed to automatically capture and save visitor information electronically, including ours. Examples of the information we may collect include:
- the city, state and country from where your IP Address originates,
- your unique IP (Internet protocol address);
- your ISP (Internet service provider),
- the web browser you use while visiting our site,
- the date and time of your visit,
- the web page of our site that you initially land-on,
- the pages you viewed on the site; and
- the search-string that you used with a search engine that brought you to our website(s).
The information we collect in our web server logs is common to almost any web server on the Internet. There is nothing special or extraordinary in the data that our web server logs collect. This web server log information is available to us should we choose to use it to assist us in administering our website, or to learn what sections of our website are more often visited so that we might learn what services prospective clients are most interested in. Such data would then help us to improve our site for future visitors.
From Cookies
“Cookies” are small files that a site or the site’s service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser (if you allow “cookies” in your browser settings). Almost every website will use some sort of cookie to make your experience better. Netflix, Amazon, Costco, Walmart, your bank, and virtually every modern website will use cookies. Cookies enable the website or service providers to recognize your browser and adjust the website experience to work better for a particular web browser or computer type, remember a choice you may make (e.g. some sites will have a video which will automatically start, but once the visitor has seen it once, a cookie will ensure that the video is not replayed each and every time that visitor clicks back to the home page). Cookies can, therefore, capture and remember certain information. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site.
If you prefer, you can choose to have your browser warn you each time a cookie is wanting to be saved, or you can choose to turn off all cookies in your browser settings.
Links to Other Sites
This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy policies or content of sites we may link to. We encourage our site visitors to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy policies of any other site that might collect personally identifiable information.
How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected: to provide legal services, to comply with our legal and ethical obligations as attorneys, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Case records are retained in accordance with the California State Bar’s record-keeping requirements. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or destroyed.
California Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
Because we value your privacy we take necessary actions to be in compliance with the California Online Privacy Protection Act. We therefore will not distribute your personal information to outside parties without your consent, (except to agents, website vendors and/or contractors who may use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with us or to another attorney or firm that may be able to address your inquiry or concern).
As part of the California Online Privacy Protection Act, all visitors to our site may request us to make any changes to their information (if any) by contacting us.
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) — Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act) gives you the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- Right to know what categories of personal information we collect, the sources, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties (if any) with whom we share it.
- Right to access the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you.
- Right to delete personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
- Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
- Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information to the purposes necessary to provide the services you requested.
- Right to non-discrimination — we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information at the bottom of this policy. We will verify your identity before responding. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by the CPRA.
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act Compliance
Because we value your privacy we are in compliance with the requirements of COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) in that we do not knowingly collect any information from anyone under 13 years of age. Our website and legal services are directed to adults or parents of minor children when the parents seek our services on behalf of their minor children. All of our legal services are for persons who are at least 18 years of age —a comfortable distance from the “13 years old or older” concerns of the COPPA legislation.
How is personal information protected?
While we take appropriate security measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will find a way to defeat our security measures or those of third parties such as our website server providers, contractors and others.
Who has access to the information?
We will not sell, rent, or lease your information to others, and we will not make your personal information available to any unaffiliated parties, except as follows:
- to agents, contractors and website vendors who may use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with us;
- if we are unable to assist with your legal matter, but know an unaffiliated attorney or firm that may be able to help you, we may refer you and share information you voluntarily provided us with to that party; and
- as required by law, in a matter of public policy or public safety, or if we believe, in good faith, that sharing the information is necessary to protect our rights or property.
Your Access to and Control Over Information
You may choose to opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do that at any time by contacting us via Phone or written Snail Mail provided below. In that communication you may choose to inquire about:
