National Security Law Firm (“NSLF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information obtained through nationalsecuritylawfirm.com, our online forms, and related communications.

Information We Collect

We may collect:

  • Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and state of residence.
  • Information about your legal matter, including information you provide through an inquiry form, consultation request, telephone call, email, text message, document upload, or other communication.
  • Appointment and transaction information, such as consultation details, billing information, and payment status. Payment-card information may be processed directly by our payment providers rather than stored by us.
  • Communications, including emails, text messages, and telephone-call information. Calls may be recorded when notice is provided.
  • Technical and usage information, such as your IP address, browser, device information, referring website, pages visited, links clicked, and interactions with our website and advertisements.
  • Employment information if you apply for a position with NSLF.

Information concerning a legal matter may include sensitive information, such as criminal history, military records, immigration information, security-clearance information, employment information, government identifiers, financial information, or health information. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information until an attorney has confirmed that NSLF can represent you.

How We Collect Information

We collect information:

  • Directly from you;
  • Through website forms, consultation scheduling, telephone calls, emails, text messages, chats, and document submissions;
  • Automatically through cookies, pixels, analytics, and similar technologies;
  • From referral sources, advertising platforms, and service providers; and
  • From publicly available sources or other persons involved in a legal matter, when appropriate.

How We Use Information

We may use information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
  • Conduct conflict checks and evaluate potential representation;
  • Schedule and manage consultations;
  • Provide legal services;
  • Send appointment confirmations, reminders, customer-care communications, and other requested text messages;
  • Process payments and maintain business records;
  • Operate, secure, analyze, and improve our website and services;
  • Measure advertising performance and understand how visitors find and use our website;
  • Prevent fraud, spam, security incidents, and misuse;
  • Communicate about services that may be relevant to you, when permitted by law; and
  • Comply with legal, ethical, regulatory, insurance, and professional obligations.

Contacting NSLF or submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is created only through a written engagement agreement signed by NSLF and the client.

How We Share Information

We may disclose information:

  • To attorneys, staff members, and affiliated personnel who need it to perform their responsibilities;
  • To vendors that provide website hosting, security, analytics, advertising, appointment scheduling, customer-relationship management, payment processing, telephone, email, text-messaging, document-management, and other operational services;
  • To co-counsel, local counsel, experts, investigators, consultants, or other professionals when appropriate and permitted;
  • To professional advisers, insurers, auditors, and legal or regulatory authorities;
  • When required by law, court order, subpoena, professional obligation, or to protect legal rights and safety; and
  • In connection with a merger, reorganization, or other transfer of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

We do not sell personal information for money.

SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates. Mobile information, text-messaging opt-in data, and consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may provide this information to service providers solely as necessary to operate our text-messaging program and deliver requested messages.

Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, measure traffic, understand visitor activity, prevent fraud, and evaluate advertising.

These providers may collect information such as your IP address, device identifiers, browser information, pages visited, and interactions with our website or advertisements. Depending on the technology and applicable law, some advertising-related disclosures may be considered targeted advertising, “sharing,” or a “sale.”

You may control cookies through your browser settings and any cookie-preference tool made available on our website. Disabling cookies may affect certain website functions.

Our website does not currently respond to traditional browser “Do Not Track” signals. Where required by applicable law, we will process recognized browser-based universal opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

Our website may contain embedded content or links to third-party websites. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Text Messages

If you opt in to receive text messages from NSLF, we may send appointment reminders, consultation confirmations, responses to inquiries, customer-care messages, service-related communications, and marketing messages when separately authorized.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing legal services. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance.

Additional information is available in our SMS Terms and Conditions.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including conflict checking, providing services, maintaining legal and business records, complying with professional and regulatory obligations, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and enforcing agreements.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, whether you become a client, and applicable legal and ethical requirements.

Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, email, text message, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information; obtain a portable copy; or opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, sharing, or profiling.

To submit a privacy request, email info@nationalsecuritylawfirm.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Certain information may be retained where permitted or required by law, including for conflict checks, legal claims, security, professional obligations, or client-file requirements.

You may opt out of marketing emails by using the unsubscribe link in the email. You may opt out of text messages by replying STOP.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate authorization. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted personal information may contact us to request its deletion.

This provision does not prevent NSLF from representing a minor through a parent, guardian, or other authorized person.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
