Privacy Policy

DALMAR Solutions, LLC (herein “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how our website service provider processes it.  This website is intended for use in the U.S. only and only for U.S. residents.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

A. Information You Provide Directly

This includes information you voluntarily submit, such as:  your name, email address, phone number, and mailing address;

Information submitted through contact forms, emails, or phone calls;

Information provided if you become a client (covered separately by attorney-client privilege and ethics rules).

Please avoid sending sensitive or confidential information unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.

B. Information Automatically Collected (via third-party service provider)

Our website is hosted by an independent third-party service provider, which automatically collects and processes certain technical data, including:

IP address; Device and browser type; Pages viewed and referring URLs; General location data (city/region based on IP); Date and time of visits; Cookies and similar technologies; it uses this data to operate and improve the site, provide security, and generate aggregated analytics.  We do not control this third-party’s independent data practices, but we use them as a service provider.  They change or alter their uses in the future and we may not be able to opt-out of those changes or alterations; we may not even be aware of such changes.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use collected information for purposes including:  Responding to your inquiries; determining whether we can represent you; providing legal services (if you become a client); operating, maintaining, and improving our website; monitoring site security and preventing misuse; internal recordkeeping; complying with legal and professional obligations; or for other lawful purposes.

We do not, and will not, sell or rent personal information.

3. Attorney-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship.  A relationship is formed only when:

We confirm that no conflicts of interest exist;

We agree to represent you; and

You receive and sign a written engagement agreement.  Without a signed engagement agreement, you cannot and should not assume that an attorney-client relationship has been created.

Until that time, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of information submitted through the site.  Do not submit sensitive information in this manner.

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share information only in limited circumstances, such as:  With service providers (including website service providers and/or hosting services) who support website functionality; with consultants, experts, or co-counsel when necessary or useful for legal work or potential legal work; to comply with applicable laws, court orders, ethics rules, or regulatory requests; to protect our rights, property, and users; in connection with business continuity events (e.g., backup, security, audits); we do not provide information to marketers or sales-people.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies for:  Basic site functionality; performance and loading optimization; traffic analytics; security and fraud prevention; and for other lawful purposes.  You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

6. Cookie Banner Notice

When you visit our site, a Cookie Banner may appear to inform you that the website uses cookies and to provide you with notice of this practice.

What the Banner, if any, Communicates:  The site uses cookies and tracking technologies; cookies support core site functionality and analytics; by continuing to browse the site, you consent to these practices (unless disabled them in your browser).

7. Data Security

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we handle.  However, no method of online transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.  Clients receive additional protections governed by attorney-client confidentiality and professional conduct rules, once an attorney-client relationship is formed.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:  Fulfill the purpose for which it was collected; meet legal, regulatory, or ethical requirements; maintain business and financial records; client-related records follow applicable Massachusetts bar retention requirements.

This website is not intended for children, people under age 18.  We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 or children age 14-17.  If you believe a child has submitted information, please contact us, provide us with appropriate details and assistance, and we will use all reasonable efforts to promptly delete it.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time with or without notice.  Any changes will be posted on this page with a “Last Updated” date.  Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
