This web site Privacy Notice (Notice) describes the personally identifiable and non-personal information WaltersLacey LLP collects in connection with your use of the Site (Personal Information and Non-Personal Information, respectively). This Notice does not address any other information exchanges between you and WaltersLacey LLP, including information gathered by us in the course of a client relationship (if any) between you and WaltersLacey LLP, or information gathered by us from you on behalf of our client(s). If you do not agree with the terms and conditions of this Notice, do not use the Site.
We recognize that our clients expect privacy and security for the nonpublic information they provide to us.

However, if you choose to submit Personal Information to us via this Site, and subject to your choices, we will use your Personal Information in accordance with this Notice, until such time as you ask us to stop.
Your submission of Personal Information, whether through this Site or otherwise, does not in and of itself result in the formation of an attorney-client relationship.
Unless you provide it to us voluntarily, WaltersLacey LLP does not collect Personal Information about you in connection with your requests for publications and other informal information.
Please read this Notice carefully to learn how you can verify the accuracy of your Personal Information and how you can request us to delete or update that information.
WaltersLacey LLP does not want to collect Personal Information from minors (children under 13 years of age, or any other age defined under applicable law). If we become aware that a minor is attempting to or has submitted Personal Information via this Site, we will notify the user that we may not accept his or her Personal Information. We will then delete any such Personal Information from our records.
