About this policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Cox Business & Tax Law (“we,” “us,” or “the firm”) handles personal information collected through coxlegaladvisors.com and related initial enquiries. The firm is based in Dallas, Texas.
This policy covers the public website and enquiries made through it. If we agree to represent you, the handling of your matter will also be subject to our engagement terms and applicable legal and professional duties.
Information you provide
The consultation form asks for your first and last name, email address, the service you are interested in, and a brief overview of your enquiry. A telephone number is optional. We also receive information you choose to provide when you contact us by email or telephone.
Required form fields are marked. You can choose how much detail to include in your message, and you can contact the firm by telephone instead of using the form.
Confidential and sensitive information
Please do not send Social Security numbers, financial account details, tax returns, identity documents, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through the general contact form. Contact the firm to arrange an appropriate way to provide documents or detailed information about your matter.
Sending a message or requesting a consultation does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Nothing in this policy changes any confidentiality or other professional duty that may apply to communications with a client or prospective client.
Technical information
When you visit the website, the hosting infrastructure receives technical information needed to deliver the pages you request. This can include your IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, the date and time of a request, and a referring page where your browser supplies it. Server and security logs may also record errors or suspicious activity.
We use technical information to operate the website, troubleshoot problems, protect against abuse, and maintain security and reliability.
How we use personal information
We use contact details and messages to respond to enquiries, arrange consultations, understand the assistance you are requesting, and communicate with you about possible next steps. We also process information to administer the website, maintain relevant records, protect legal rights, and meet applicable legal or professional obligations.
The contact form sends consultation requests to the firm by email and saves a copy in the website’s database so the firm can review and manage enquiries. Enquiry information is therefore handled through the website and the firm’s email systems.
Who may receive information
Authorised firm personnel and service providers may access information when needed to operate the website or handle your enquiry. Providers can include website hosting, email delivery and storage, technical maintenance, security, and backup services. Depending on their role, they may process contact details, messages, or technical information on the firm’s behalf.
Information may also be disclosed where permitted or required by law, in response to valid legal process, to obtain professional advice, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights. Any disclosure remains subject to applicable confidentiality and professional obligations.
Cookies, browser storage, and tracking
The website uses Silktide Consent Manager to remember privacy choices in your browser. Appearance preferences may also be saved locally. WordPress uses authentication and security cookies for authorised users who sign in; signing in is not required to read the public pages.
Google Analytics 4 is an optional service used to measure visits and interactions with this website. Analytics remains off unless you accept the Analytics category in our consent banner. Advertising storage, advertising user data, and ad personalisation remain disabled.
You can accept, reject, or later withdraw Analytics consent using the privacy icon at the lower left of the page or the Cookie Policy. Rejecting Analytics does not prevent you from using the website or contacting the firm. Our Cookie Policy explains the storage used and how to remove browser storage.
Google Analytics
If you opt in, Google Analytics processes website usage information such as pages visited, interactions, referral sources, session information, browser and device details, approximate location, and randomly generated cookie identifiers. This helps us understand website performance and improve the site. Analytics data is not treated as wholly anonymous.
Google provides the Analytics service and processes the associated information. When Analytics is enabled, your browser contacts Google and supplies network information, including its IP address, as part of those requests. Google may process data on servers outside your country, including the United States, subject to its applicable data protection and transfer safeguards. See Google’s Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics cookies normally have a default expiry of up to two years, subject to configuration and browser limits. Google Analytics’ server-side retention settings are separate from cookie expiry. Withdrawing consent stops future Analytics collection through this site and removes the Analytics cookies it can access; it does not automatically erase information already processed by Google. You can contact us using the privacy-request details below.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to understand how the website appears in Google Search and to identify indexing issues. It provides search-performance reports, including search queries, impressions, clicks, positions, countries, and device categories. This reporting is separate from Google Analytics and is based on information from Google Search.
Search Console’s website-verification mechanism does not itself place an Analytics cookie on your device or require the Analytics tag to load. It does not override your choice to reject Analytics.
How long information is kept
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to enquiries, manage any professional relationship, administer and secure the website, resolve disputes, and meet applicable legal or professional recordkeeping requirements. The appropriate period depends on the type of record, why it is held, and any requirement to preserve it.
Enquiry information may remain in the firm’s email records. Website data and technical records may also be included in routine backups. Backup copies are managed through the relevant backup and retention processes and may not be removed immediately when information is deleted from a live system.
Security
The website uses HTTPS, and administrative access is restricted to authorised accounts. We use measures intended to protect the website and information processed through it. No website, email system, or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed completely secure.
For sensitive documents or detailed information about a legal matter, ask the firm to agree on an appropriate communication method.
Your choices and privacy requests
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of personal information about you. Applicable law may also give you rights to object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on it, or opt out of particular uses of personal information.
To make a privacy request, email jcox@coxlegaladvisors.com, call 877-335-4548, or write to the address below. Describe your request and how we can contact you. You do not need to create a website account. Please do not send identity documents or highly sensitive information with your initial request.
We may need information to verify your identity or authority before responding. We will review requests in accordance with applicable law. Legal or professional obligations, evidentiary privileges, the rights of others, and the need to establish or defend legal claims may limit a request.
If a request is declined, you can ask us to review the decision by contacting the same email address with the subject “Privacy request appeal.” Where applicable, you may also raise a concern with the relevant privacy regulator or the Texas Attorney General.
Children
This website is intended for adults seeking legal information or services and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
Other websites
The website may link to external services, including LinkedIn. If you follow an external link, the other website’s privacy practices apply to information collected there. Please review its privacy notice before providing information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, our practices, or applicable requirements change. The date at the top of this page identifies the latest update.
