Estate Law Magazine does not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal information to any third party for any purpose. This is an unconditional commitment, not subject to exceptions.

We do not participate in data broker networks, advertising exchanges, or any commercial arrangement that involves transferring your personal information to third parties for their commercial benefit.

We share your personal information only in the following limited circumstances:

Service Providers: We may share information with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website (such as hosting providers and analytics services). These providers are contractually bound to use your information only to provide services to us and may not use it for their own purposes.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or government authority, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

Journalistic Source Protection: As a media organization, we take the protection of journalistic sources extremely seriously. We will not voluntarily disclose the identity of any person who contacts us as a source, whistleblower, or confidential informant. We will resist compelled disclosure to the fullest extent permitted by applicable shield laws and the First Amendment.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control.

Our website embeds Google Forms for our Pro Bono Assessment surveys and Google Calendar for consultation scheduling. When you interact with these embedded tools, you are subject to Google's Privacy Policy in addition to ours.

We access information submitted through Google Forms solely for the purpose of facilitating the educational service you requested. We do not share this information with third parties for any other purpose.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights or freedoms, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Estate Law Magazine is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When personal information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.

Aggregate, anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify any individual.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
