Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 9, 2026

ImmigrationRFE.com is a legal information website of The Messersmith Law Firm, P.A.
This Privacy Policy explains generally how information may be collected, used, and
handled when you visit this website or communicate with the firm through the site.

Information You Choose to Provide

If you contact the firm through a contact form, consultation form, email, telephone,
or another method made available through this website, we receive the information
you choose to provide. That information may include your name, email address,
telephone number, information about your immigration matter, and other information
included in your message or submission.

Please do not send highly sensitive, confidential, or time sensitive information
through the website unless the firm has asked you to do so. Contacting the firm,
sending information, or submitting a form does not by itself create an
attorney-client relationship.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, the site’s hosting, security, and technical systems may
automatically receive information associated with a visit. This may include an IP
address, browser and device information, requested pages, referring information,
dates and times of requests, and information used to detect errors, abuse, or
security threats.

How Information May Be Used

Information collected through the website may be used to:

  • respond to inquiries and requests for consultations;
  • communicate with people who contact the firm;
  • evaluate whether the firm can assist with a legal matter;
  • operate, maintain, and improve the website;
  • protect the website, the firm, and website visitors from fraud, abuse, or security threats;
  • maintain appropriate business and legal records; and
  • comply with applicable legal or professional obligations.

Website Service Providers

The firm uses service providers and website technologies that support functions
such as web hosting, website security, contact forms, email delivery, site
performance, and other technical operations. Those providers may process
information as necessary to provide their services to the firm.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law,
legal process, court orders, professional obligations, or to protect the rights,
property, or security of the firm or others.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website and the technologies used to operate or secure it may use cookies or
similar technologies. Cookies are small data files that a website can store through
a browser to support functionality, security, preferences, or related technical
purposes.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may
affect the operation of certain website features.

Third-Party Websites and Services

This website may contain links to government agencies, courts, other legal
resources, or other third-party websites. Those websites are operated independently
and have their own privacy practices. The Messersmith Law Firm, P.A. is not
responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

Information Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for
which it was collected, to respond to an inquiry, maintain business records,
protect the website and the firm, comply with legal or professional obligations,
or resolve disputes.

Your Privacy Requests

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances, you may have rights concerning
personal information held about you, including the ability to request access,
correction, or deletion of certain information. Some information may need to be
retained when required or permitted by law, professional obligations, security
needs, or legitimate business purposes.

Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidential Information

Visiting this website or communicating with the firm through the website does not
create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed
only after the firm agrees to represent a client and the applicable engagement
requirements have been satisfied.

Until an attorney-client relationship has been established, you should not assume
that information sent through the website will be treated as confidential or
protected by the attorney-client privilege.

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time. The effective date shown at
the top of this page identifies the current version.
