Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Silver Key Law ("Silver Key Law," "the firm," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit our website or contact us through our forms, by telephone, or by text message. The attorney responsible for this website is Richard Ryder Haag, who is licensed to practice law in Arizona and Texas. Our principal office is in Houston, Texas, and client matters are handled virtually and by appointment.
This website is attorney advertising. It is intended for general informational purposes only, is not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. By using this website or submitting information to us, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us and limited information collected automatically when you use the website.
- Information you provide. When you complete a contact or case-review form, call us, or text us, you may provide your name, mobile or other phone number, email address, the city or area where an incident occurred, a description of what happened, and any documents or photos you choose to upload.
- Automatically collected information. Like most websites, we may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring page, through cookies and similar technologies, to operate and improve the site.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- respond to your inquiry, evaluate your potential matter, and communicate with you about it by phone, email, or — if you opt in — text message;
- send an automated confirmation that we received your submission, and informational follow-up messages about your inquiry or matter;
- operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website; and
- comply with our legal and ethical obligations.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the limited circumstances below:
- Service providers. We use vendors who help us operate the website and communicate with you — for example, form-hosting, email, and text-message delivery providers — who are permitted to use your information only to provide those services to us.
- Co-counsel or referral counsel. Where appropriate to evaluate or handle your matter, we may share information with co-counsel, referral counsel, or other attorneys, consistent with our ethical obligations.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information where required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of any person.
Text-message and mobile data: No mobile information or text-message opt-in consent will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile opt-in information is used solely to deliver the messages you have requested and is not sold, rented, or shared for anyone else's marketing.
SMS / Text Messaging Terms
By providing your mobile phone number and checking the consent box on one of our contact or case-review forms, you agree to receive text messages from Silver Key Law related to your inquiry. The types of messages we send are conversational and informational — for example, an automated confirmation that we received your submission, and follow-up messages about your potential injury matter. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages without separate express written consent.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us; you will receive a final confirmation that you have been unsubscribed. For help, reply HELP or call us at (888) 508-6967.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of representation by the firm or of any service. Your decision to opt in or out of text messaging does not affect our willingness to evaluate your matter. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. No mobile information or opt-in consent will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.
Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and improve its performance. You can usually set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; some parts of the site may not function properly without them.
Data security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Information you send through this website is not encrypted and may not be confidential until we agree in writing to represent you. Please do not send sensitive, time-sensitive, or privileged information through this website.
Your choices
- Text messages. Reply STOP to opt out of text messages at any time, or HELP for help.
- Email. You may ask us to stop sending you non-essential email by contacting us using the information below.
- Access and correction. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have submitted by contacting us. We will respond as required by applicable law.
Children's privacy
This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Third-party links
This website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
