AI Chatbot
Our website may include an AI-powered chatbot that provides general information and assists visitors.
Information submitted through the chatbot may be stored and processed to improve customer service and the operation of the chatbot. The chatbot or its supporting technology may be provided by third-party service providers that process information on our behalf under their own privacy and security practices.
The chatbot is intended solely for general informational purposes.
The chatbot does not provide legal advice of any kind. Information provided through the chatbot is for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney licensed in the appropriate jurisdiction. You should consult directly with an attorney for advice specific to your situation.
Do not submit confidential, privileged, medical, financial, personally identifying, or time-sensitive legal information through the chatbot.
Use of the chatbot does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Contact Forms
Information submitted through our contact forms is used solely to respond to your inquiry or evaluate a potential legal matter.
Submitting a contact form, sending an email, or communicating through the chatbot does not establish an attorney-client relationship.
Website forms, email communications, and chatbot conversations may not be secure methods of communication. Until an attorney-client relationship has been established, please do not send confidential or sensitive information, including:
- Social Security numbers
- Driver’s license numbers
- Financial account information
- Medical records
- Evidence related to your case
- Information protected by attorney-client privilege
- Time-sensitive legal information
Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality and user experience.
Cookies used on this website may include:
- Essential cookies required for website operation
- Security cookies
- Functional cookies that remember preferences
- Performance and analytics cookies used to improve the website
Where required by applicable law, visitors will be presented with the opportunity to accept or decline non-essential cookies before they are placed on their device.
Most web browsers also allow you to manage or disable cookies through browser settings.
Google Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.
Google Analytics collects information such as pages visited, time spent on the website, browser type, operating system, device information, and approximate geographic location. This information is aggregated and is not intended to identify individual visitors.
Google may use this information in accordance with its own Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Services
Our website may include or link to third-party services, including:
- Google Maps
- YouTube
- Social media platforms
- AI chatbot providers
These services operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage visitors to review those policies before using those services.
Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you visit via links from our site.
Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information when necessary with:

Information is shared only when reasonably necessary to provide our services, operate our website, or comply with legal obligations.
Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Although we strive to protect your information, no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing electronic data is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by applicable law. For example, information submitted through contact forms or the AI chatbot in connection with inquiries that do not result in an attorney-client relationship is generally retained for up to 90 days to allow for follow-up communications, after which it is securely deleted or anonymized unless longer retention is required for legal, security, or other legitimate business purposes.
Do Not Track Signals
Some web browsers offer a “Do Not Track” feature. Because there is currently no universally accepted standard governing these signals, our website may not respond to Do Not Track requests.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for adults seeking legal services.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending upon your state of residence and applicable law, you may have certain privacy rights, including the right to:
- Request access to personal information we maintain
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of personal information where permitted by law
- Request information regarding how your personal information is used
To exercise these rights, please email info@thebyrdlawfirm.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line or submit a request through our contact form clearly indicating the nature of your request. We will respond in accordance with applicable law.
Attorney-Client Relationship
Viewing this website, using the AI chatbot, submitting information through our contact forms, sending email, or otherwise communicating with The Byrd Law Firm through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is established only after the Firm has completed a conflict-of-interest review and both the Firm and the client have agreed to representation.
Confidential Information
Until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established, please do not submit confidential, privileged, proprietary, or sensitive information through this website, including through contact forms, email, or the AI chatbot.
This includes information relating to criminal charges, DUI matters, family law disputes, personal injury claims, medical records, financial records, evidence, witness information, or any information you believe should remain confidential. We are also bound by the confidentiality requirements of the Florida Rules of Professional Conduct.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any changes become effective when the revised Privacy Policy is posted on this website. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
