Last updated: October 4, 2026
This policy explains what personal information Legal Moves PC ("Legal Moves," "we," "us") collects through legalmoveslawfirm.com and our marketing, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
It covers website visitors, people who contact us or book a consultation, and people who sign up for our newsletter or free guides. If you become a client, your engagement agreement and our professional duty of confidentiality also govern what you tell us about your matter. See "If you become a client" below.
Our Speedrun Legal course at speedrun.legal is covered by its own privacy policy.
Who we are
Legal Moves PC is responsible for the personal information described here. Under EU and UK data protection law, we are the "controller" of that information.
Questions about this policy go to [email protected].
Information we collect
Information you give us
- Contact forms: your name, email address, and message.
- Trademark cost calculator: your name, email address, the details of the quote you built, and the page you requested it from.
- Newsletter and free guides: your name, email address, and which guide you asked for.
- Consultation bookings: your name, email address, and your answers to the booking questions. Bookings run through Calendly. Paid consultations are charged through Stripe, and we never see or store your full card number.
- Consultations: with your permission, we may record and transcribe a consultation using an AI note-taking tool so we can prepare accurate notes. You can decline when you book or at the start of the call.
- Emails and other messages you send us.
Please keep your first message short and leave out confidential details. Contacting us doesn't make you our client, and we can't take on a matter until we've checked for conflicts. We treat what prospective clients tell us as confidential under our professional rules.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, we and our service providers collect:
- Your IP address, browser and device type, and approximate location based on your IP address.
- The pages you visit, how you arrived, and actions like submitting a form or booking a consultation.
- Information from cookies and similar technologies, described in the next section.
When you submit a form, we store your IP address with it to help us block spam and abuse.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
- Google Analytics tells us how visitors use the site, and it records when someone submits a form or books a consultation. It sets cookies. If you're in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, it runs only if you accept it in our cookie banner. Anyone can turn it off with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of every page, or with Google's browser add-on.
- OpenAI advertising measurement. We advertise in ChatGPT. For visitors in the US, an OpenAI pixel records page views and when someone submits a form, books a consultation, or requests a quote, so we can tell whether our ads work. It can connect your visit to an ad you clicked. When you submit a form on our site, the pixel may also send OpenAI a scrambled (hashed) version of your email address or name so it can match the conversion to an ad. Your actual email address, name, and message are not sent.
- Calendly runs our scheduling tool and sets its own cookies when the scheduler loads.
- Cloudflare Turnstile checks that contact-form and newsletter-signup submissions come from a person. It reads browser and device signals to do that.
- YouTube videos embedded in some articles set YouTube cookies when they load.
- Our calculators may request currency exchange rates from a third-party service, which receives your IP address.
- Browser storage: the site remembers in your browser that you closed the newsletter pop-up, so it doesn't show again for 30 days. It also remembers your cookie choice for 12 months and your country for the current visit.
Your choices. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features, like the scheduler, may not work without them. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we don't load the OpenAI advertising pixel.
How we use your information
- To respond to you, schedule consultations, decide whether we can help, and check for conflicts of interest.
- To provide legal services if you hire us.
- To send the newsletter and guides you asked for. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
- To understand how the site is used and whether our advertising works.
- To take payments.
- To protect the site and our systems against spam, fraud, and security threats.
- To meet our legal and professional obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
AI tools
We use AI tools from established providers to help with research, drafting, consultation notes, and running the practice. A lawyer reviews legal work before it goes to anyone. We use business accounts and settings under which these providers don't use your information to train their models.
Who we share information with
We share personal information only as described here.
Service providers that handle it on our behalf, under contracts that limit their use of it:
- Website hosting and security (Cloudflare)
- Secure database and document storage
- Email and office software (Google Workspace)
- Email newsletters (Bento)
- Scheduling and payments (Calendly, Stripe, LawPay)
- Automation tools that move information between our systems
- Accounting and outside bookkeepers
- AI providers, as described above
- Analytics and advertising measurement (Google, OpenAI)
Others, when your matter or the law requires it:
- Co-counsel and contract lawyers working on your matter, as described in your engagement agreement.
- Government offices when we file on your behalf. Trademark and copyright filings are public records that include owner names and addresses.
- Courts, regulators, or law enforcement when the law requires it, or when we need to protect our rights, our clients, or the safety of others.
- A successor firm if our practice is sold or merged, subject to our professional rules.
If you become a client
Your engagement agreement and our duty of confidentiality govern the information you share about your matter. Some extra points:
- If we need a Social Security number to get an EIN for your company, we collect it through an encrypted form. We delete it once it's used, or after 21 days if it isn't.
- We keep client files for the period described in your engagement agreement.
- Filings with the US Patent and Trademark Office and the US Copyright Office become public records.
How long we keep information
- Inquiries and consultation records: as long as we need them to respond to you, and then as records for conflict checks, which lawyers are required to run.
- Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe. We keep your email address on a do-not-email list so you don't get added back by mistake.
- IP addresses stored with form submissions: 24 months.
- Google Analytics data: up to 14 months.
- Consultation recordings and transcripts: kept in our note-taking tool for a limited period, then deleted automatically.
- Client files: as described in your engagement agreement.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption in transit, access controls, and limiting access to people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
Your rights and choices
Everyone. You can ask us what personal information we have about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or unsubscribe from our emails at any time. Email [email protected]. We'll respond within 45 days and may ask you to confirm your identity first. We may need to keep some information to meet our legal and professional obligations, such as conflict-check records or files for an open matter. If so, we'll tell you.
US residents. Depending on where you live, state privacy laws may give you additional rights. We honor access, correction, deletion, and advertising opt-out requests from anyone, whether or not a particular law applies to us.
EU and UK residents. We rely on these legal grounds:
- Taking steps toward a contract, or performing one: responding to your inquiry, scheduling, and providing legal services.
- Your consent: newsletters and guides, recording a consultation, and cookies where consent is required. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Our legitimate interests: keeping the site secure, preventing spam, and understanding how the site is used.
- Legal obligation: conflict checks, record-keeping, and other professional duties.
You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or move your personal information, and to object to how we use it. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. In the UK, that's the Information Commissioner's Office.
International transfers. We're based in the US, and our service providers mainly process information in the US. Where EU or UK law requires it, those transfers rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Children
Our site and services are for businesses and adults. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under 16 in the EU and UK. If you think a child has sent us information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
When we update this policy, we'll post the new version here with a new "Last updated" date. If a change is significant, we may also let clients and subscribers know by email.
