Our Law Firm’s Online Privacy Policy & Cookies Statement

Our Law Firm, consisting of professionals engaged in the service of providing US legal services including legal advice and legal representation to clients worldwide, is committed to protecting the privacy of confidential and “Personal Information” (information that directly or indirectly identifies individuals who may be clients, staff, representatives, contractors, agents, lawyers, employees, interns, job applicants or others inside or outside the of the Law Firm). It has always been and remains the policy of our Law Firm to comply with all applicable rules of professional conduct. The ethics rules impose a duty to preserve and protect confidential client information.

This privacy policy applies to information collected online from users of this website, www.jlblawgroup.com, and to any user information collected via other sources including any affiliated web pages such as landing pages, advertising pages, apps, our social media accounts, or via email messages that we send to you that contain a link to this Policy, by the Law Office of Jennifer L. Bennett, LLC (also known as ‘JLB Law Group, and hereinafter referred to as the ‘Law Firm’) based in Chicago, IL, USA. In this policy, we will outline the types and kinds of information we collect, when and how we might use that information, how we protect the information collected, along with the choices you have with regards to said information.

Personal Information Collected and How It Is Used

When we collect information from our users, it is most often via a form on this website or via social media interactions including chats or direct messages. Most commonly, this will include requests for contact information and/or requests for more information. Any contact information submitted may be used to contact you regarding services, events, marketing purposes, or with regards to any other offerings made available by the Law Office of Jennifer L. Bennett (also known as ‘JLB Law Group’) and its constituents. Our law firm does not solicit or release any of the information you provide unless we say so in this Privacy Policy, or if we believe that the law requires such.

Information supplied by you, the User

If you fill out a contact form on this website or social media for us, we may ask you to provide personal information that may include (but may not be limited to) e-mail address, name, phone number, and state. If chat is available you may be asked to provide information if you participate in an online chat. Please do not submit any confidential, proprietary, or sensitive personally identifiable information (e.g. Social Security Number; date of birth; driver’s license number; alien number if you are an immigrant; or credit card, bank account or other financial information) (collectively, “Sensitive Information”). If you submit any Sensitive Information, you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for the consequences of your submission. Filling out a contact form or communicating with us through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship.  Any and all information that you provide to us through the contact form or an online chat will be used so that we may respond to your inquiry. We may also use the same information you provide to us to communicate with you in the future. If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may opt out by unsubscribing any time.
