Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Bass PLLC collects when you visit jakebasslaw.com, why the firm collects it, who it is shared with, and what choices you have. It applies to this website only.

This Policy Is Not the Same Thing as the Firm’s Duty of Confidentiality

If Bass PLLC represents you, the information you share in the course of that representation is governed by the attorney-client privilege and by the firm’s professional obligations of confidentiality under the applicable rules of professional conduct, which are considerably stricter than this policy. This privacy policy addresses website data — form submissions, analytics, cookies, and similar information. It does not limit, waive, or define the firm’s duties to its clients. Conversely, if you are not a client, information you send through this site is generally not confidential or privileged; please read the firm’s Legal Notices and Disclaimers before sending anything sensitive.

Information You Give the Firm Directly

If you fill out a contact form, send an email, call, or otherwise reach out, Bass PLLC receives whatever you choose to provide. That typically includes your name, email address, phone number, and a description of your situation, and may include the names of other people or companies involved. You decide how much to share. As explained in the Terms of Use, an initial inquiry should be brief and general — please do not send documents or sensitive details before a conflicts check has been run and a signed engagement agreement is in place.

Information Collected Automatically

Like nearly every website, this one records basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system, referring page, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This site is hosted on Squarespace, which collects and processes this information on the firm’s behalf and sets cookies necessary to operate the site, remember your preferences, and produce aggregate visitor statistics. Squarespace’s handling of that data is governed by its own privacy policy. For more information on Squarespace’s practice, please visit squarespace.com.

Cookies and Your Browser Settings

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. This site uses cookies that are necessary for it to function and cookies that support basic analytics. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when one is being set, though parts of the site may not work correctly if you do. Bass PLLC honors the Global Privacy Control and similar browser-based opt-out signals where the law requires it. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to “Do Not Track” headers, the site does not respond to them separately.

How the Firm Uses This Information

Information collected through this site is used to respond to inquiries, to run conflicts checks, to evaluate whether the firm can take on a matter, to provide legal services once an engagement exists, to send materials you have asked for, to keep the site secure and working, to understand which pages visitors find useful, and to comply with legal, regulatory, and professional obligations. Bass PLLC does not sell personal information and does not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

When Information Is Shared

Bass PLLC shares information with service providers that support the firm’s operations — website hosting, email, document management, practice management, payment processing, and similar functions — and only to the extent needed for them to perform that work. In the course of representing a client, information may be shared as the representation requires and as the client authorizes, including with courts, opposing counsel, agencies, experts, vendors, and co-counsel. Information may also be disclosed where the law requires it, in response to valid legal process, to establish or defend legal claims, or where disclosure is permitted or required by the applicable rules of professional conduct. If the firm is ever reorganized or combined with another practice, client files and related information may transfer subject to those same professional obligations and to the notice a client is owed.

How Long Information Is Kept

Inquiries that do not lead to an engagement are retained for a limited period so the firm can run future conflicts checks accurately, and are then disposed of. Client files are retained according to the firm’s file retention practices and the requirements of the jurisdictions in which the firm practices, which in some circumstances require records to be kept for years after a matter closes. Website analytics data is retained in aggregate form.

Security

Bass PLLC takes reasonable measures to protect the information in its possession, including encrypted transmission, access controls, and vendors selected in part for their security practices. No website, email system, or storage method is completely secure, and the firm cannot guarantee that information sent over the internet will not be intercepted. Email in particular should not be treated as a secure channel for sensitive material. If you need to send something confidential, ask about a secure alternative.

Your Choices and Rights

You can ask Bass PLLC what personal information the firm holds about you, ask that it be corrected if inaccurate, ask for a copy in a portable format, or ask that it be deleted. You can opt out of any marketing email using the unsubscribe link or by writing to the firm. Requests will be honored to the extent the law allows, but some information cannot be deleted — client files, conflicts records, and other material the firm is required to retain by law, court rule, or professional obligation are the most common exceptions, and information already governed by the duty of confidentiality is not deleted at a third party’s request.

Residents of Colorado, and residents of other states with comparable privacy statutes, may have specific rights of access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-out under those laws, along with a right to appeal a denied request. To exercise any of these rights, or to appeal a decision, write to the firm using the contact information below and identify what you are asking for. Bass PLLC will respond within the time the applicable law requires. If an appeal is denied, you may contact the Colorado Attorney General’s office or the corresponding authority in your state.

Children

This site is intended for adults seeking legal services and is not directed to children. Bass PLLC does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through this site, please contact the firm and it will be deleted.

Visitors From Outside the Firm’s Jurisdictions

This site is operated from Colorado and intended for visitors in the jurisdictions where Bass PLLC is admitted. If you access it from elsewhere, including from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative, and your information will be processed in the United States under United States law, which may offer protections different from those in your home jurisdiction.

Changes to This Policy

Bass PLLC may update this policy from time to time. Revisions take effect when posted, and the effective date below shows when this version was last revised. Material changes will be noted on this page.

How to Reach the Firm About Privacy

Questions about this policy, or requests concerning your information, can be directed to Bass PLLC using the contact information on the firm’s contact page. Please put “Privacy request” in the subject line so it is routed correctly.
