Rural NC Law respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and your choices regarding that information.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide: When you contact us through this website — including through contact forms, email links, or text messaging opt-in — we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message.
Automatically collected information: When you visit this website, we may automatically collect certain technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through standard web server logs and, if applicable, cookies or similar technologies.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
(a) respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about potential or existing legal matters;
(b) send administrative text messages if you have provided your phone number and consented to receive them;
(c) improve the functionality and content of this website;
(d) comply with our legal and professional obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Text Messaging
If you provide your mobile phone number and opt in to receive text messages from Rural NC Law, your phone number will be used solely to send you messages related to your inquiry or legal matter. We use a third-party messaging platform (Twilio, Inc.) to deliver these messages. Twilio acts as a service provider and is not permitted to use your information for its own purposes. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP.
4. Cookies and Tracking
This website may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to improve user experience. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies, though some features of the website may not function properly as a result. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information without your consent.
5. How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Please note that email and contact form submissions are generally not confidential forms of communication. Do not use this website to send confidential or privileged legal information.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating this website and delivering our services (such as our web host, case management platform, or text messaging provider). These providers are contractually required to keep your information confidential and to use it only as directed by us.
7. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
8. Your Choices
You may contact us at any time to:
(a) request access to the personal information we hold about you;
(b) request correction or deletion of your personal information;
