Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 1, 2026

At the Law Offices of Guadalupe Gonzalez (AskLupe.com), we recognize that your privacy is a fundamental right. As a law firm, we are held to the highest ethical standards of confidentiality. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. Professional Standards & Confidentiality

Our commitment to your privacy goes beyond standard data protection. We strictly adhere to:

• ABA Model Rule 1.6: Ensuring the absolute confidentiality of information relating to the representation of a client.

• HIPAA Compliance: Where applicable (such as in personal injury or disability cases), we maintain rigorous standards for the handling of sensitive medical records and Protected Health Information (PHI).

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us evaluate your legal needs and provide representation:

• Contact Information: Name, email address, and phone number.

• Case Details: Information provided via our “Secure Intake” forms regarding your legal matter.

• Technical Data: IP addresses and cookies used solely to improve website functionality and user experience.

3. How We Protect Your Data

We implement a “Defense-in-Depth” strategy to ensure your information remains private.

Technical Safeguards

• Data Encryption: All sensitive information is encrypted both at rest (on our servers) and in transit (as it travels from your computer to ours).

• Secure Intake: Our website uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption. Any data you submit via AskLupe.com is piped directly into our secure, permission-based Case Management System (CMS).

• Access Controls: We follow the Principle of Least Privilege. Only the specific legal personnel assigned to your case are granted access to your files.

• Secure Communication: For document exchange, we utilize encrypted email and secure client portals rather than standard, unencrypted channels.

4. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Information is only shared when:

1. Necessary to provide legal services (e.g., filing court documents).

2. Required by law or a valid court order.

3. You have provided explicit consent.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold.

• Request the correction of inaccurate data.

• Request the deletion of data (subject to legal record-retention requirements for law firms).
