Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 20, 2026
Pacific Admiralty & Maritime Law (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide through this website. This Privacy Statement explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, contact our firm, or otherwise interact with our online services.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, company or organization, and information you submit when contacting us regarding a potential legal matter.
Because we are a maritime law firm, information submitted to us may relate to vessel ownership, maritime incidents, cargo, personal injuries, employment, insurance, claims, litigation, or other legal matters. Please do not submit confidential or sensitive information through this website unless specifically requested by an attorney at our firm.
We may also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit the website, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and general website usage information. We may use cookies or similar technologies for website functionality, security, analytics, and performance.
2. How We Use Information
We may use information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries and requests;
- Communicate with you about our services;
- Evaluate potential legal matters;
- Provide, maintain, and improve our website;
- Monitor website security and prevent misuse;
- Analyze website traffic and usage;
- Comply with legal and professional obligations; and
- Carry out other purposes disclosed when information is collected or otherwise permitted by law.
Submitting information through this website does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.
3. Confidentiality and Attorney-Client Privilege
Although we take reasonable measures to protect information submitted through our website, website communications are not necessarily secure or confidential. An attorney-client relationship is not established merely because you contact us through this website or submit information through an online form.
Do not send information about an urgent legal matter, impending deadline, accident, injury, claim, or litigation through the website unless you have been specifically instructed to do so by one of our attorneys.
4. How We Share Information
We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to operate our firm, provide requested services, respond to your communications, comply with applicable law, protect our rights or property, or protect the safety of our clients, personnel, or others.
We may also use service providers that assist with website hosting, information technology, communications, analytics, security, or other business functions. Such providers may have access to information only as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf.
We do not sell personal information submitted through this website.
5. Cookies and Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand website traffic, improve functionality, and analyze how visitors use the site. Third-party analytics or service providers may collect information about website usage in accordance with their own privacy policies.
You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.
6. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including courts, governmental agencies, professional organizations, social media platforms, or other resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those websites before providing personal information.
7. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
8. Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, to comply with applicable legal and professional obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements and policies.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information, including rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or information about the processing of your personal information.
To make a privacy-related request, please contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
10. Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website.

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or services. The updated version will be posted on this website with a revised effective date.
