Privacy Policy
Our Commitment to Privacy
Your privacy is very important to the Evan Ficaj Law Firm PLLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Our website address is https://ficaj.com. Part of our operation of this website involves the collection and use of information about you. This privacy policy explains what type of information we collect and what we do with that information to allow you to choose how your information is collected and used. This privacy policy may change from time to time, so please check it often.
Information We Collect
We may collect both anonymous and personally identifiable information. Anonymous information is information that cannot be connected to the identity of a specific individual. An example of anonymous information is that, while this website may record the number of visits to a particular page at a given time, it does not necessarily tell us every visitor’s name or other identifying information. Many users of this website will choose not to provide any personally identifiable information. Therefore, those individuals are anonymous to us, and any data collected about their use of this website is anonymous information. Personally identifiable information is information that specifically identifies a particular user, such as name, address, or phone number.
Our site is not directed to anyone under the age of 18 or the applicable age of majority in the jurisdiction from which the site is accessed (“minors”), and we prohibit minors from using the site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor who has provided us with personal information, please contact us to have that minor’s personal information deleted.
