Effective Date: October 13, 2025
Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways.
Information you provide
When you fill out a contact form, schedule a consultation, create a client portal
account, or make a payment, you may provide your name, email address, phone
number, billing details, and any other information you choose to share.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we use cookies and similar technologies to collect data
about how you use our site. This may include your IP address, browser type,
device information, and pages visited. These tools help us understand general
website usage and improve our visitors’ experience. We do not use cookies to
track you across other websites or for targeted advertising.
Information from third parties
We may receive limited information from services we use to improve our website
and client experience, such as FindLaw SEO tools and Clio, our client
management and payment platform. Internet Brands, who supports our
marketing services, may also collect data through analytics or cookies. Severn
PLLC does not control how Internet Brands uses this information, and visitors are
encouraged to review the Internet Brands Privacy Statement for more details.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to respond to inquiries, provide legal services,
manage client accounts, process payments securely through Clio, send
important updates about your case or our services, improve our website and
operations through analytics, and comply with legal and ethical obligations as a
Texas law firm.
We do not sell, rent, or exchange your personal information for marketing
purposes. Limited information may be shared with service providers who assist
us in operating our website or delivering services, and these providers are
contractually required to safeguard your information.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal information only as necessary to perform legal services,
comply with our professional and legal obligations, or based on your consent
where applicable.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and similar technologies help us understand how people use our
website and improve performance. You can adjust your browser settings to
refuse cookies or to alert you when they are being used. Some features of the
site may not function properly without them.
Client Portal and Payments
If you use our client portal, the information you share there is stored securely
through Clio, a trusted legal practice management platform. Payment information
submitted online is processed securely by Clio and is not stored on our servers.
Information shared through the client portal is treated as confidential and
protected by the attorney–client privilege to the extent applicable under Texas
law.
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect
your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No system is
entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take all
reasonable steps to protect client and visitor data.
Sharing Your Information
We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the
following circumstances: with your consent, as necessary to provide our services,
to comply with legal obligations or court orders, or to protect our rights or the
safety of others.
Retention of Information
We retain client information as required by law and by the Texas Disciplinary
Rules of Professional Conduct, typically for at least five years after the
conclusion of representation.
Your Rights and Choices
You may contact us at any time to ask what information we have about you,
request corrections to your information, request deletion of certain information
(subject to record-keeping requirements), or opt out of marketing
communications. To make any of these requests, email us at
[email protected].
Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are not intended for children under the age of 13, and
we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
