2. Important Notice Before You Send Us Information

Please read this before submitting any form or sending us email.

Submitting information through this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship with Williams Legal ATL, LLC is formed only when we and you sign a written engagement agreement.

Do not send us confidential, sensitive, or privileged information through this Site, by email, or by voicemail until we have confirmed in writing that we are able to represent you. Information you send before an engagement is established may not be treated as confidential or privileged, and may not prevent us from representing another party whose interests are adverse to yours.

If you need to share sensitive details, contact us first and we will arrange a secure method.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information you provide directly

Contact and inquiry forms. When you complete a form on the Site, we collect the information you enter — typically your name, email address, telephone number, and the substance of your message or inquiry.
Consultation scheduling. If you book a consultation through the scheduling tool on the Site, we collect your name, email address, telephone number, selected time, and any information you enter in the booking notes.
Email, telephone, and other correspondence. We collect the contents of communications you send us and any information you provide during a consultation or intake conversation.
Prospective client intake information. If you proceed toward engagement, we collect the information necessary to run a conflicts check and to evaluate the matter, which may include the names of family members, entities, counterparties, countries of citizenship or residence, and financial or tax information.

3.2 Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically by our hosting provider and by the software that operates the Site, including:

IP address and general geographic location derived from it
Browser type, operating system, and device type
Date and time of access
Pages requested and referring website
Server log and error data

3.3 The software that operates this Site

We believe in telling you specifically what runs on this Site rather than listing technologies we do not use.

The Site runs on WordPress, using the Elementor page builder, the Fluent Forms form plugin, and FluentSMTP for outbound email delivery. What this means for your data:

Form submissions are stored on this Site. When you submit a form, your entry is saved in the Site’s database in addition to being emailed to us. Depending on configuration, the entry record may include your IP address and browser information alongside the information you typed.
Fonts may be loaded from Google. Our page builder may request typefaces from Google’s font servers when a page loads. Where that occurs, your IP address is transmitted to Google in the United States. No cookie is set by this request and we receive no information from it.
Outbound email passes through an email service provider. Replies and notifications we send are transmitted through a third-party mail service, which processes the message in transit and may retain a delivery log.
Embedded scheduling. If you use a calendar or booking tool embedded on the Site, that tool is operated by a third party. Loading and using it transmits information to that provider under its own privacy policy, and it may set its own cookies in your browser.

We do not run Google Analytics, advertising pixels, remarketing tags, session recording, heat-mapping, or behavioral tracking of any kind on this Site. We do not build visitor profiles, and we do not track you across other websites.

If we add any analytics or advertising technology in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required, obtain consent before it operates.

3.4 Cookies

Because we run no analytics or advertising tools, cookie use on this Site is limited:

Strictly necessary cookies — set by WordPress and by our form software to operate the Site, maintain security, keep form state, and guard against automated spam submissions. WordPress also sets session cookies for logged-in administrators; these are not set for ordinary visitors.
Third-party cookies from embedded tools — an embedded scheduling or calendar tool, if present on a page you visit, may set cookies controlled by that provider rather than by us.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent forms and other parts of the Site from working.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

Respond to your inquiry and provide the information you requested
Evaluate whether we are able to represent you, including performing conflicts-of-interest checks
Schedule, prepare for, and conduct consultations
Provide legal services to clients and administer our engagements
Send you information about the Firm or our practice areas, where you have asked to receive it
Operate, secure, and maintain the Site
Detect and prevent fraud, spam, and abuse
Comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations, including the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct and applicable record-retention requirements

We do not sell your personal information, we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes, and we do not use it for advertising.

5. Legal Bases for Processing (EU/UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data on the following legal bases under Article 6 of the GDPR:

Purpose	Legal Basis
Responding to your inquiry and taking steps prior to entering an engagement	Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request (Art. 6(1)(b))
Providing legal services under a signed engagement	Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Site security, spam prevention, and reliable operation	Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f))
Sending firm updates or publications you asked to receive	Consent (Art. 6(1)(a))
Conflicts checking, record retention, tax and regulatory compliance	Legal obligation and legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(c), (f))

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal.

We share personal information only as follows:

Service providers. We use third-party providers to operate the Firm and the Site. These fall into a small number of categories: website hosting; the content management system and its plugins; outbound email delivery; business email, calendar, and document storage; appointment scheduling; and payment processing. These providers may access personal information solely to perform services for us and are obligated to protect it.
Professional advisors. Our accountants, insurers, technology consultants, and outside counsel, where necessary and subject to confidentiality obligations.
In connection with legal services. Where you are a client, we may share information with courts, government agencies (including the Internal Revenue Service and FinCEN), opposing or cooperating counsel, foreign advisors, or other parties as necessary to carry out the representation — always subject to your instructions and our confidentiality duties.
Legal compliance. Where required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of the Firm or others.

7. Confidentiality of Client Information

Information covered by the attorney-client privilege or by our duty of confidentiality under Rule 1.6 of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct is protected by obligations that are broader and stricter than this Privacy Policy. Nothing in this Policy limits those duties.

Where this Policy and our professional obligations of confidentiality conflict, our professional obligations govern.

8. International Transfers

Williams Legal ATL, LLC is located in the United States, and our service providers are primarily located in the United States. If you access the Site or communicate with us from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States, which may not provide the same level of data protection as your home jurisdiction.

Where we transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on appropriate safeguards, which may include Standard Contractual Clauses with our service providers, or on the derogations in Article 49 of the GDPR — including where the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Given the cross-border nature of our practice, information relating to a client matter may also be shared with advisors, institutions, or authorities in other countries where necessary to carry out the representation.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy and to meet our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

Website inquiries that do not result in an engagement: form entries and related correspondence are retained for two (2) years to document conflicts screening and declined matters, then deleted from the Site database and from our records.
Client files: retained in accordance with the Firm’s File Retention Policy and applicable Georgia rules.
Server logs and email delivery logs: retained for a limited period consistent with our providers’ standard settings.

You may ask us to delete an inquiry sooner. See Section 10.

10. Your Rights

10.1 EU, UK, and Swiss visitors

Subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable law, you have the right to:

Request access to the personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
Request erasure of your data
Request restriction of processing
Object to processing based on legitimate interests
Request portability of data you provided to us
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Lodge a complaint with your national data protection supervisory authority

Certain rights are limited where the information is subject to attorney-client privilege, our professional duty of confidentiality, or a legal obligation to retain records. We will explain any such limitation when we respond.

10.2 U.S. state privacy rights

Some U.S. states grant residents rights to access, correct, delete, or opt out of certain uses of personal information. Williams Legal ATL, LLC does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you are a resident of a state that grants you these rights and you wish to exercise them, contact us using the details in Section 1 and we will respond as required by applicable law.

10.3 How to exercise your rights

Email donyae@williamslegalatl.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law — generally one month for GDPR requests. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

11. Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include access controls, encrypted transmission of data to and from the Site, restricted administrative access, and secure storage through our service providers.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Standard email is not a secure medium, and neither is a website contact form. Do not send sensitive personal, financial, or tax information — including account numbers, taxpayer identification numbers, or passport details — through the Site or by unencrypted email. We will provide a secure method when sensitive information needs to be exchanged.

12. Children

The Site is directed to adults and is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Third-Party Links

The Site may link to third-party websites, including government resources such as IRS.gov and FinCEN.gov, and to professional profiles such as LinkedIn. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Review their privacy policies separately.

14. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. There is no common industry standard for responding to these signals. Because we do not track visitors across websites, the practical effect of such a signal on this Site is limited.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
