What Does This Privacy Notice Cover?
This privacy notice (“Privacy Notice”) is intended to provide you (“you” or “your”) with specific details about how Revision Legal, PLLC (“Revision Legal,” “we,” and “us”) collects, uses, and discloses your personal or personally identifiable information (“personal information”) when you visit revisionlegal.com, submit an inquiry to us, subscribe to our newsletter, or otherwise communicate with us through the tools linked to or embedded in our website (collectively, the “Website”).
This Privacy Notice does not govern information that we receive in the course of representing our clients. Our handling of client information is governed by our engagement agreements and by the rules of professional conduct that apply to our attorneys, including our duty of confidentiality.
Before using the Website or providing information to us, please carefully review this Privacy Notice. Revision Legal may modify, amend, or replace this Privacy Notice at any time, as described below. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our Privacy Notice, or if your personal information is not accurate or complete, please contact us at:

Does Contacting Us Create an Attorney-Client Relationship?
No. Submitting an inquiry through the Website, sending us an email, or leaving us a voicemail does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we have confirmed that we do not have a conflict of interest and you have signed a written engagement agreement with us. Until then, please do not send us confidential, privileged, or sensitive information. We use the information in your inquiry to respond to you, to evaluate whether we are able to assist you, and to check for conflicts of interest, and we may keep a record of your inquiry for those purposes.
Who Do We Collect Personal Data From?
The Website is intended for adults and businesses seeking legal services. Revision Legal does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of eighteen (18), and the Website is not directed to children under the age of thirteen (13). If you are younger than eighteen (18), please do not use the Website and please do not provide personal information to us. If you believe that Revision Legal has collected personal information from a child, you are directed to notify Revision Legal immediately at john@revisionlegal.com, and we will delete it.
What Personal Data Do We Collect From You and How Do We Use It?
When you use the Website, we may collect personal information from you. Personal information includes any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual. It does not include de-identified or aggregated data.
We may collect and process the following categories of personal information about you:
- Inquiry and Communication Data. Inquiry and communication data includes the information that you submit through the contact form on the Website (your first and last name, phone number, email address, and the content of your message) and any communication that you may send to us by email, telephone, voicemail, text message, chat, or social media. When you call us, our telephone service provider logs your phone number and the date, time, and duration of the call. We process this data to respond to you, to evaluate whether we are able to assist you, to check for conflicts of interest, to record logs of our communication, and to pursue or defend against legal claims.
- Newsletter and Marketing Data. If you check the box to stay in touch on our contact form or otherwise subscribe to our email newsletters, we collect your name and email address and add you to our mailing list. Our email marketing provider also reports whether a newsletter was delivered, opened, or clicked. We process this data to send you firm news and legal updates and to understand which content is useful to our readers.
- Intake and Payment Data. If you ask us to represent you, we collect the information needed to open and bill a matter, such as your business name, address, and billing contact, and we store it in our practice management software. If you pay an invoice or retainer online, the payment is processed by a third-party payment processor. Revision Legal receives confirmation of the payment and limited details about it, but it does not receive or store your full payment card or bank account number.
- Technical and Usage Data. When you visit the Website, we and our service providers automatically collect your IP address, your approximate location derived from your IP address (such as your city and state), your browser type, your device type, your operating system, your time zone, the page that referred you to the Website, the pages that you view, the dates and times of your visits, and your interactions with those pages, such as scrolling and clicks. We collect this data through cookies, our analytics provider, and the server logs kept by our website host and content delivery network. Revision Legal processes this data to analyze your use of the Website, to route Website traffic, to administer and secure the Website, and to troubleshoot problems with the Website.
- Security and Anti-Spam Data. Our contact form is protected by Google reCAPTCHA and by the Akismet anti-spam service. These tools evaluate information about your device, your browser, your IP address, your interaction with the page, and, in the case of Akismet, the content of your submission to determine whether a submission was made by a person or is spam.
- Personally Sensitive Data. Personally sensitive data includes data about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, union membership, or information about your health. Revision Legal does not ask for personally sensitive data through the Website, and it does not collect your precise geolocation. If you choose to include personally sensitive data in a message to us, we will use it only to respond to your inquiry and for the purposes described above. Revision Legal does not sell personally sensitive data.
Revision Legal will only use your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected and for purposes that are compatible with them. If Revision Legal needs to use your personal information for an unrelated new purpose, Revision Legal will provide you with notice of this new use. Revision Legal may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent where required or permitted by law.
Revision Legal does not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you, and it does not use personal information submitted through the Website to train artificial intelligence models.
What Cookies and Similar Technologies Do We Use?
Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer or mobile device through your web browser that enable the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. Session cookies are only stored on your computer or mobile device during your use of the Website and are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. Persistent cookies remain on your computer or mobile device until they expire or you delete them.
The Website uses the following cookies and similar technologies:

You can configure your web browser settings to reject all cookies or to prompt you before a cookie is set, and you can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The Website will continue to function if you reject cookies.
Revision Legal does not place advertising pixels on the Website. Google and YouTube may, however, use the information that they collect through the tools described above for their own purposes, including advertising, as described in their privacy policies.
How Do We Use Your Personal Data For Marketing?
Revision Legal may send you marketing communications, such as e-mail newsletters, if you have asked to receive them or if you have an existing relationship with the firm and have not opted out from receiving marketing communications. You may ask Revision Legal to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out link in any marketing message sent to you or by contacting Revision Legal directly at john@revisionlegal.com. If you opt out of receiving marketing communications, your opt-out does not extend to personal information provided for other purposes, such as communications about a matter that we are handling for you.
Revision Legal does not sell your personal information, and it does not disclose your personal information to third parties for behavioral, targeted, or cross-context advertising.
When Do We Disclose Your Personal Data?
Revision Legal may share your personal information with the following parties:
- Service providers that provide Revision Legal with website hosting, content delivery and security, analytics, form processing and spam filtering, email and document storage, email marketing, practice management and client intake, payment processing, telephone, or other information technology or administrative services;
- Revision Legal’s accountants, auditors, insurers, or attorneys;
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, or other parties upon the receipt of a subpoena or court order or where necessary to protect Revision Legal’s personnel or property; and
- Government bodies or regulators where Revision Legal is legally required to do so.
Revision Legal may also transfer personal information to third parties when it sells, transfers, or merges any part of its business or assets. In the event of a sale, transfer, or merger of Revision Legal, its business, or its assets, the acquiring entity shall be subject to the same terms of this Privacy Notice until otherwise amended, modified, suspended, or replaced.
Revision Legal requires the service providers that process personal information on its behalf to protect that personal information and to use it only for the specific purposes for which it was disclosed. Third parties whose tools are embedded in the Website, such as Google, act under their own privacy policies.
How Do We Secure Your Information?
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information, such as the use of industry-standard encryption when you communicate with us through the Website, and Revision Legal allows access to your personal information only by employees and service providers who have a need to know or access it on Revision Legal’s instructions. However, no security measures are impenetrable and there are always security risks. Email and web forms are not a secure way to send confidential information. Revision Legal will notify you and any regulatory body of any breach of your personal information or Revision Legal’s security measures if it is legally required to do so.
How Long Do We Retain Your Data?
We will only retain your personal information for so long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it is collected under this Privacy Notice or for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, professional responsibility, or reporting requirements. We retain inquiries for as long as needed to respond to you and, afterward, as a record for conflict-checking purposes. We retain newsletter subscriber information until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings of our analytics provider, which are currently set to fourteen (14) months. We may retain personal information for longer periods where there is a need to retain it to comply with Revision Legal’s legal obligations, such as the preservation of electronic evidence or compliance with a preservation order.
What Are Your Privacy Rights and Choices?
Regardless of the state in which you live, you may ask Revision Legal to (1) confirm whether we hold personal information about you and give you access to it, (2) correct personal information that is inaccurate, (3) delete personal information that we collected from you, (4) provide you with a copy of your personal information in a portable format, and (5) stop sending you marketing communications. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact Revision Legal’s Privacy Officer as disclosed in this Privacy Notice.
You do not need to pay a fee to exercise your rights. However, Revision Legal may charge a reasonable fee if your request is unreasonable or excessive.
To confirm your request, Revision Legal may need to request specific information from you as a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to an unauthorized third party, such as the email address or phone number that you used to contact us. You may also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf by providing Revision Legal with proof that the individual or business has been appointed as your agent, such as a signed power of attorney. Revision Legal will respond to all legitimate requests within forty-five (45) days.
In some situations, Revision Legal may not be able to fully grant your request, such as where Revision Legal is legally or ethically obligated to retain your personal information, including for conflict-checking purposes, where the information is privileged or belongs to a client, to protect its security, the security of its Website, or the security of its employees or contractors, where your request is frivolous or vexatious, or where your personal information is subject to a legal or administrative order, such as a subpoena or warrant. If we decline your request, we will tell you why, and you may appeal our decision by replying to our response. We will respond to your appeal in writing within sixty (60) days. If we deny your appeal, you may contact the attorney general of your state.
Revision Legal will not discriminate or retaliate against you for exercising any of these rights.
State-Specific Disclosures
A number of states have enacted consumer privacy laws that give their residents rights with respect to their personal information. Whether those laws apply to a particular business depends on its size and on how much personal information it handles. Rather than apply different rules to different visitors, Revision Legal extends the rights described above to all visitors in the United States, whether or not the law of your state requires it to do so.
California Residents
The categories of personal information that we collect, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it, are described above. Third parties whose tools are embedded in the Website, such as Google and YouTube, may collect personal information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Website. Revision Legal does not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes, does not sell personal information, and does not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Nevada Residents
Revision Legal does not sell your personal information as that term is defined under Nevada law. If you are a resident of Nevada, you may nonetheless provide notice to us to limit the sale of your personal information to third parties for resale or licensing purposes. To do so, you may send us an email to john@revisionlegal.com with the subject line, “Nevada Do Not Sell Request,” along with your name and address.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some web browsers can send a “do not track” signal or a Global Privacy Control signal to the websites that you visit. The Website honors Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information, and the Website does not load Google Analytics during your visit. Revision Legal does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in any event. Content that third parties provide on some pages, such as embedded YouTube videos and Google Maps, is governed by those third parties’ own privacy policies and may still load on those pages. The Website does not respond to “do not track” signals, for which there is no common industry standard. You can configure your browser settings to reject all cookies or to prompt you before a cookie is set, and you can generally opt out of receiving personalized ads from third party advertisers and ad networks who are members of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or who follow the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising by visiting the opt-out pages on the NAI website and DAA website.
Third Party Links
Revision Legal’s Website may include links to third party websites and applications, including our profiles on social media platforms. By clicking on third party links, you may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. Revision Legal does not control these third-party links and you are advised to review their respective privacy policies.
Visitors From Outside the United States
Revision Legal is located in the United States, and the Website is intended for visitors in the United States. If you contact us from another country, your personal information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
Changes to our Privacy Notice
Whenever Revision Legal changes its Privacy Notice, we will post those changes to this Privacy Notice on the Website and update the “Last Updated” date above. If we make a material change to how we use personal information that we have already collected, we will provide a more prominent notice on the Website.
