Privacy Policy

Information you provide

When you contact us or complete the Clio Grow intake form linked from our website, you may provide your name, email address, telephone number, and information about your workplace issue.

The intake form asks about your employer, work location, government employment, union membership, termination and its date, whether you are represented by a lawyer, the type of workplace issue, and the details you choose to describe. Depending on your matter and what you submit, this may include sensitive information, such as health- or disability-related details, union membership, or information about alleged discrimination.

Information from website use

The website and the services supporting it may collect technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, referring links, and the timing of website activity. Cookies and similar technologies may also collect or store information. See our Cookie Policy for cookie information and choices.

We use service providers for website hosting, security, analytics, intake, and communications. They may process information in providing those functions.

• Intake: Our website links to an intake form hosted by Clio Grow. Information you submit through that form is processed through Clio Grow in connection with your inquiry. See Clio's Privacy Policy.
• Website services: The website uses Google Analytics for usage information and includes a Google Maps feature. Google may receive technical information when its services are used. See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Information may also be disclosed when required by applicable law, in connection with legal and professional obligations, or with your authorization. Any disclosure of information associated with legal services remains subject to applicable confidentiality and privilege obligations.

We do not use advertising or remarketing tools or share visitor information for ad targeting.

If you make an inquiry but do not become a client, our policy is not to retain the information you provided about that inquiry once we have finished assessing and responding to it.

For clients, information is retained as needed for the representation and applicable legal and professional obligations. The appropriate period can depend on the matter, the type of record, and those obligations.

Technical website logs, analytics, and cookie data are separate from inquiry and client files. Their retention depends on the website function or service involved and its settings. Cookie information is provided in our Cookie Policy. You can contact matthew@ruggleslawfirm.com with a question about the retention of information relating to you.

Workplace inquiries can concern people of different ages. If your inquiry or privacy request concerns information about a minor, contact matthew@ruggleslawfirm.com so the issue can be addressed in the appropriate context.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information that should be removed, please contact us using the same address. Any request will be considered in light of applicable law and the information involved.

The website's current cookie-consent configuration is not set to automatically respond to legacy browser Do Not Track signals. You can use the website's cookie-preference controls or your browser's cookie settings to manage cookies.

Global Privacy Control is a separate signal intended to communicate an opt-out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use advertising or remarketing tools or share visitor information for ad targeting. If you have a question about tracking or a privacy signal, contact us using the details in section 12.

If we update this notice, the revised version and its updated date will be posted on this page. Material changes will be identified in a notice on this page. Please review the notice periodically for current information about our practices.

We may need to verify your identity or authority before acting. We will consider and respond to the request under applicable law. Confidentiality, privilege, record-retention, and other legal or professional obligations may affect what information can be provided, changed, or deleted.
