Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 5, 2025

I, Eleanor Vanderlyn, Principal Paralegal ("the Firm," "I," "we," "us," or "our"), am committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your information while providing paralegal services. This policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, and when I disclose it.

What Information We Collect

I collect information necessary for your legal matter, which may include:

• Contact & Identification: Name, address, phone, email, date of birth, and ID numbers (if required).
• Case-Related Information: Facts, evidence, legal documents, statements, correspondence, and sensitive details (financial, health) relevant to your case.
• Financial Information: Billing and payment details for services.
• Communications: Records of all interactions with you.

How We Collect Information

I gather information directly from you, from third parties (attorneys, courts, witnesses, etc.) involved in your legal matter, and from publicly available sources as needed for your case.

How We Use and Disclose Your Information

I use your information to provide paralegal services, communicate with you, process billing, and comply with legal and ethical obligations.

I will only disclose your information in the following circumstances:

• With Your Consent.
• To Your Instructing Attorney and other parties necessary for your legal matter (courts, opposing counsel, experts).
• To Third-Party Service Providers (e.g., IT, billing) bound by confidentiality.
• As Required by Law (e.g., court order).
• To My Professional Advisors (e.g., accountants)

I will never sell your personal information.

Data Security and Retention

I use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards (e.g., password protection, secure storage) to protect your information. However, no electronic storage is 100% secure. I retain your information only for as long as necessary to complete our engagement and meet my legal/professional retention obligations.
