Who this policy applies to
This privacy policy describes how Agarunov Law Firm, P.C. ("the firm," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit flatratelegal.com or interact with us through the website. Flat Rate Legal is a trade name used by Agarunov Law Firm, P.C.
Information we collect
Information you provide
When you submit the contact form on the website, you voluntarily share the following information with us:
- Your name (first and last)
- Your email address
- Your phone number, if you choose to provide it
- The practice area you are interested in
- The specific services you select
- The location of your matter (NY, NJ, both, or other)
- The description you write of your matter
- How you heard about us, if you choose to share that
You may also choose to share information by emailing or calling the firm directly. Any information you share through those channels is handled with the same care described in this policy.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the website, certain information is collected automatically:
- Server logs. Our hosting provider records standard server log data including your IP address, browser type, the page you visited, and the time of your visit. This data is used for security and operational purposes.
- Google Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and how they arrived. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information including a truncated IP address, device and browser information, and behavior data on the site. Analytics tracking only loads after you accept cookies via the site banner. You can read Google's privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy, and you can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
- Google Fonts. The site loads typefaces from Google's font service (fonts.googleapis.com). When fonts load, your IP address is shared with Google as part of the standard request.
How we use information
We use the information you provide and the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiry and provide the legal services you've asked about
- To prepare a quote and engagement letter if we move forward together
- To communicate with you by phone, email, or other means
- To comply with legal and ethical obligations as a law firm
- To understand how the website is used and improve it over time
- To protect against fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access
How we share information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers. We use third-party services to operate the website and the firm. These include our website host, our email provider (Google), and Google Analytics. These providers receive limited data necessary to perform their function and are bound by their own privacy practices.
- Legal obligations. We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or to comply with our professional and ethical obligations as attorneys.
- With your consent. We share information you have specifically asked us to share — for example, with another professional you've authorized us to coordinate with.
Cookies and similar technologies
The website uses two categories of cookies:
- Essential cookies. Small amounts of data necessary for the site to function — for example, remembering whether you've accepted the cookie banner. These cannot be turned off.
- Analytics cookies. Set by Google Analytics if you accept analytics tracking via the site banner. These help us understand site usage. You can decline these by clicking "Decline" on the banner, by clearing your cookies, or by using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on linked above.
The site does not use marketing or advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels (Meta, LinkedIn, etc.), or remarketing tags.
How long we keep information
We retain the information you provide for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with our legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specifically:
- Contact form submissions are retained in our email system for at least seven years, consistent with attorney record-keeping obligations under New York and New Jersey rules.
- Engagement and matter records are retained as required by the rules of professional conduct of the relevant state bar.
- Server logs and analytics data are retained according to the retention settings of the underlying providers (Google Analytics standard retention is 2 to 14 months and can be configured by us within that range).
Confidentiality and attorney-client privilege
Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after a written engagement letter has been signed. Information you share through the website or in initial communications may not be protected by attorney-client privilege until that engagement is in place. We treat the information confidentially within the firm, but you should not share information through the site that you would not want disclosed if no engagement results. See the Attorney Advertising Disclaimer for more.
Data security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us — including encrypted form transmission, access controls on email, and standard hosting security. No method of transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You have the following choices regarding your information:
- Don't submit information. You're not required to use the contact form. You can call or email the firm directly instead, or simply not contact us.
- Decline analytics. Click "Decline" on the cookie banner, or use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, and analytics tracking will not run for your visit.
- Request deletion. You may ask us to delete the information you've shared with us, subject to our legal and professional record-keeping obligations as attorneys.
- Request access. You may ask what information we hold about you. We will respond within a reasonable time.
- State-specific rights. If you reside in California, the EU, or another jurisdiction with specific privacy rights, those rights apply. Contact us using the information below to exercise them.
Children
The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
Third-party links
The website may contain links to third-party websites — for example, the Google, Yelp, or Avvo profile pages where our reviews appear. Those sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be highlighted on the website. The version posted at flatratelegal.com is the controlling version.
