Privacy notice

The short version: reading this site sends us nothing. The form sends us what you type into it, and nothing else.

Version 2026-09-18.2 · Effective September 18, 2026

What we do not collect

What we do collect, and only when you send it

WhenWhatWhyWhere it goes
You send the form (step 1)The kind of fee, the business and its location, the date, what the fee was called, the amount, where it first appeared, household or business, which documents you still have, whether you agreed to terms, your answer about age if you gave one, and your name, email and phone, and whether you checked the box saying we may call that numberSo a law firm can check for conflicts of interest and then look at what happenedMadgett Law, LLC’s own encrypted store, and a private channel in the firm’s Slack workspace that notifies the lawyer
You send the second stepA few sentences if you write any, and whether you have complained to anyoneSo the firm can evaluate a possible matterThe same two places

What we never do

How long we keep it

RecordRetention
What you sent in steps 1 and 2Kept as a record of what you sent and what you agreed to. Deleted on verified request, except the minimal conflicts record, which the firm keeps so that it can tell later that it must not act against you.
The conflicts recordYour name and email, the date, the kind of fee, and the business you named. Nothing else. Kept permanently.
Step-2 linksExpire automatically after 30 days, and stop working once used.
Security and audit logsRetained on a documented schedule for security purposes, with sensitive content excluded.

Getting a copy or having it deleted

Write to dmadgett@madgettlaw.com and include the reference number from your receipt. We will verify that the request is really from you before acting on it.

One limit worth being clear about, and it is a real one. Once you send us the form, Madgett Law, LLC holds what you sent under its professional obligations as a law firm, and those obligations sometimes require the firm to keep a record even after you ask it not to — a conflicts record in particular, which is what makes it possible to tell later that we should not act against you. So a deletion request removes the detail you sent; it does not empty the conflicts index. That tension is deliberate and it runs in your favour more often than not.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is limited to people who need it. Every destination that receives anything you send is controlled by Madgett Law, LLC, and the firm keeps a written record naming who is responsible for reading each one. Submissions are logged.

The content security policy on this site permits no external origin at all, with one exception on one page: the form page may load the automated-submission check from Cloudflare. Everywhere else that is enforced by your browser rather than promised by us.

No system is perfect. If something goes wrong, we will notify affected people as required.

Children

This site is for adults. It is not directed to children.

Changes

This notice is versioned. When it changes materially the version number changes, and every receipt records the version that was in effect when you sent the form, so you can always tell what you actually agreed to.
