Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy of Sharpe & Leventis, LLC

Sharpe & Leventis, LLC (“Sharpe & Leventis,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, submit a form, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with our online services.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect information in two primary ways: information you choose to provide and information collected automatically when you use the website.

Information You Provide

When you contact Sharpe & Leventis through our website, by phone, by email, or through another communication method, you may provide information such as:

Your name
Email address
Phone number
Information about the type of legal matter you are contacting us about
Details you choose to include in a consultation request or message
Other information you voluntarily provide

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical records, or other highly sensitive information through a website form unless an attorney or firm representative specifically asks you to do so.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, certain technical and usage information may be collected automatically, including:

IP address
Browser type
Device type
Operating system
Referring website
Pages visited
Time spent on the website
General geographic information
Website interactions and traffic data

This information may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, pixels, server logs, and similar technologies.

How We Use Your Information

Sharpe & Leventis may use information collected through the website to:

Respond to consultation requests and other inquiries; communicate with you about a potential or existing legal matter; operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website; understand how visitors use the website; schedule appointments; provide requested information; maintain business and administrative records; comply with legal, ethical, regulatory, or professional obligations; protect the firm, its clients, and others from fraud, misuse, or security threats; and carry out other purposes with your consent or as permitted by law.

We aim to collect and retain only information reasonably necessary for legitimate business and legal purposes. The FTC similarly recommends that businesses understand what personal information they maintain, limit unnecessary collection, protect retained information, and properly dispose of information that is no longer needed.

Contact Forms and Consultation Requests

Submitting a consultation request through this website allows Sharpe & Leventis to review your inquiry and determine whether the firm may be able to assist you.

Submitting information through this website does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

Do not rely on submission of a website form to protect a legal deadline or other time-sensitive matter. An attorney-client relationship is created only after Sharpe & Leventis agrees to represent you and any required engagement agreement has been completed.

Information submitted may also be reviewed for purposes such as determining whether the firm can accept the matter or whether a conflict of interest exists.

Phone, Email, and Text Communications

If you provide your phone number or email address, Sharpe & Leventis may use that information to respond to your inquiry, communicate about scheduling, provide information you requested, or communicate regarding a legal matter.

If you separately consent to receive text messages, the firm may communicate with you by text in accordance with that consent and applicable law. Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier.

You may opt out of text communications by replying STOP to a text message. You may opt out of nonessential marketing emails by using the unsubscribe instructions provided in the message, where applicable.

Any text-message consent language used on the consultation form should be implemented separately and clearly rather than relying on the Privacy Policy alone. Federal law regulates certain automated and marketing calls and text communications.

Cookies and Analytics

Sharpe & Leventis may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, analyze website traffic, understand how visitors interact with pages, and improve website performance.

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services used by the website, such as analytics, mapping, advertising, website-hosting, or security providers.

You can typically control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features function.

How We May Share Information

Sharpe & Leventis does not sell or rent personal information for third-party marketing purposes.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to service providers that help operate the website or firm, such as website hosting, analytics, communications, CRM, security, technology, or other vendors; professional advisers or consultants; government authorities, courts, regulators, or other parties when required or permitted by law; parties involved in protecting the rights, property, safety, or security of the firm, our clients, website visitors, or others; or another entity in connection with a merger, restructuring, transfer, or similar business transaction.

Service providers may receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform services on the firm’s behalf and remain subject to their own legal and contractual obligations.

Third-Party Websites and Services

This website may link to or incorporate services operated by third parties, including:

Google Maps • Google Reviews • Facebook • Instagram • LinkedIn • Other external websites or platforms

When you interact with a third-party website or service, its own privacy policy and terms apply.

Sharpe & Leventis does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites and is not responsible for how those parties collect or use information.

Data Security

Sharpe & Leventis uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use appropriate care when submitting information electronically.

The FTC advises businesses to provide security appropriate to the sensitivity of the information they maintain and to accurately follow the privacy and security representations they make to consumers.

How Long We Keep Information

We may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, respond to inquiries, provide legal services where applicable, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, protect legal rights, or comply with legal, ethical, regulatory, or professional obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which may include requesting access to certain information we maintain about you, asking that inaccurate information be corrected, requesting deletion of certain information, or objecting to or limiting certain uses of information.

Not every request or right applies in every circumstance, particularly where information must be maintained for legal, professional, security, conflict-checking, recordkeeping, or other legitimate purposes.

To submit a privacy request, contact Sharpe & Leventis using the information listed below.

Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and Sharpe & Leventis does not knowingly use the website to solicit personal information from children under 13.

If you are under 13, please have a parent or legal guardian contact the firm on your behalf.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 was collected through the website without appropriate authorization, we may take reasonable steps to delete it.

Federal COPPA requirements apply to websites directed toward children under 13 and certain websites with actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from a child under 13.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
