Privacy Policy

In short. We are a law firm, not an advertising business. We do not sell your personal information, we do not
share it for targeted advertising, and we do not build profiles about you. This website collects two kinds of
information: what you choose to send us through a form, and a limited set of technical and analytics data
that tells us which pages people find useful. This policy explains both, names the third parties involved, and
tells you how to limit what is collected and how to reach us with a request.

1. Who this policy covers and who we are

This policy describes how Whitehouse & Cooper, PLLC, dba Strategic Solutions Legal (“SSL,” “the firm,” “we,” “us”) handles information collected through ssl.law and any subdomain or microsite that links to this policy. Our address and telephone number appear in Section 15.

This policy covers website visitors. It does not govern information we receive in the course of representing a client. Information you provide to us as a client, or in connection with a prospective engagement, is governed by our engagement terms and by our professional obligations as lawyers, including the confidentiality rules of the Florida Bar. Where those obligations are more protective than this policy, they control.

2. Important notice before you send us anything

Using this website, reading our materials, or sending us a message does not create an attorney-client relationship. Until we have agreed in writing to represent you, we cannot treat what you send as confidential in the way we would treat a client communication, and we may already represent someone with interests adverse to yours.

Please do not send confidential, privileged, proprietary, or sensitive personal information through this website. That includes Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, dates of birth, financial account information, health information, and the substance of a confidential matter. Send us enough to let us determine whether we can speak with you, and no more. If you send such information anyway, you do so at your own risk, and the firm is not responsible for the consequences of that submission.

3. Information you provide to us

This website has two forms. We collect only what the form asks for:

Contact form. Your name, your company name, your email address, your telephone number, and your answers to two dropdown questions about what you are looking for, together with anything you write in the message field. An email address is required so that we can reply.
Newsletter signup. Your email address, and your name if you provide it. We use it to send our business and technology law newsletter. Every message includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also unsubscribe by writing to us at the address in Section 15.

We also receive information you send us directly by email, telephone, or post, and information you provide when you register for or attend a program we speak at or host. If we ever add a further collection point to this website — an event registration, a document download gate, a client portal, or a chat feature — we will update this policy before it goes live.

4. Information collected automatically

4.1 Server logs

Our web server records standard technical information about each request, which we and our hosting provider use to operate and secure the site. This includes your Internet protocol (IP) address, your Internet service provider, an approximate location derived from your IP address, your browser and operating system, the page you requested, the page you arrived from, and the date and time of the request.

4.2 Analytics and other client-side collection

Separately from server logs, this website runs JavaScript in your browser that collects information and sends it to Google. This is a different mechanism from server logging, and it is described in Sections 5 and 6. In plain terms: when you load a page on this site, a Google Analytics tag reports the address and title of that page, the page you came from, your approximate location, your device and browser characteristics, how far you scrolled, and a randomly generated identifier stored in your browser that lets Google recognize your browser on a later visit. We do not attempt to link that identifier to your name.

4.3 Link prefetching

To make pages load faster, your browser may load some pages on this site in the background before you click through to them. As a result, our analytics may record a page view for a page you never actually looked at. We mention this only so that you understand our analytics data is an imperfect record of your conduct.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This site and its service providers also use related technologies, such as browser local storage. We use them for four purposes: to make the site work, to keep it secure, to make it load quickly, and to measure how it is used.
The table below lists what this site sets. Cookie names and durations are set by the providers and can change without notice to us; we review this table at least annually and after any material change to the site.

Cookie or technology	Provider	Purpose and category	Typical duration
_ga	Google (set in our domain)	Assigns a randomly generated identifier so that repeat visits can be counted as the same visitor. Analytics.	Approx. 2 years
_ga_CWP0M9MGD1	Google (set in our domain)	Retains Google Analytics 4 session and engagement state. Analytics.	Approx. 2 years
_grecaptcha (browser storage) and Google cookies set in the google.com domain	Google	Operates reCAPTCHA and distinguishes human visitors from automated ones when a form is submitted. Security.	Session to persistent, depending on the cookie
NitroPack optimization cookies	NitroPack	Selects the correct optimized version of a page for your device and connection. Functional / performance.	Session
wp_cerber_* and related security entries	Strategic Solutions Legal	Protects the site against automated login attempts and abuse. Strictly necessary.	Session
Gravity Forms state values	Strategic Solutions Legal	Preserves your entries while you complete and submit a form. Strictly necessary.	Session

We do not use advertising cookies. This site contains no advertising, remarketing, or conversion pixel, no Meta (Facebook) pixel, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, no session-replay or screen-recording tool, no chat or chatbot widget, and no service that attempts to identify you or your employer from your IP address.

5.1 How to control cookies

Every major browser lets you block or delete cookies, and most offer a setting to block third-party cookies or to clear site data when you close the browser. Your browser’s help pages explain how. Blocking cookies from this site will not prevent you from reading it, although the security and optimization functions described above may behave less well.

5.2 Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

There is still no common industry standard for how a website should respond to a browser “Do Not Track” header, and we do not currently respond to it. We do not sell or share personal information, so there is no advertising opt-out for a Global Privacy Control signal to exercise.

6. Third parties that receive information through this site

We use a small number of service providers. Each is named below, with what it receives and why. We do not authorize any of them to use information from this site for their own advertising purposes.

6.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages and topics are useful to visitors. The Google Analytics tag, delivered through Google Tag Manager, collects the information described in Section 4.2 and transmits it to Google, which processes it on our behalf and also for its own purposes as described in its own policies. Google may retain and use this information as an independent controller of it; we do not control that use.

You can prevent Google Analytics from measuring your visits to any website by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google’s own handling of the data is described in its privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy and in its explanation of how it uses data from sites that use its services, at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

6.2 Google reCAPTCHA

Both forms on this site are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which distinguishes human visitors from automated ones so that we are not flooded with spam and fraudulent inquiries. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information about your device and observes your interaction with the page, and sends that information to Google for analysis. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy) and Terms of Service (policies.google.com/terms). We use reCAPTCHA only for security and only in connection with form submission; we do not receive the underlying analysis, only a pass-or-fail result.

6.3 Website operations, security, and delivery

WPEngine hosts this website and processes server log data on our behalf.
Optimizes and caches pages so they load faster, and receives technical performance data and the cookies noted in the table above.
WP Cerber. A security layer that protects the site’s administrative login against automated attack.
Gravity Forms. Delivers form submissions into our website system, from which they are routed to us by email.
org content delivery. Certain display assets are served from a WordPress.org address, which means your IP address is disclosed to that service when a page loads.
Newsletter delivery through MailChimp.

6.4 Other recipients

Professional advisers and contractors. Vendors and contractors who assist us in operating the firm and this website, bound to use the information only for that purpose.
If we cannot assist with your matter but know a lawyer or firm who may be able to, we may refer you and share what you told us so that the referral makes sense. Tell us if you would rather we did not.
Legal requirements and firm transitions. Where required by law or legal process, where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of the firm or others, or in connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of the firm’s practice — in which case the recipient remains bound by this policy as to information transferred.

7. What we do not do

We consider these commitments, not merely descriptions of present practice:

We do not sell personal information, and we never have.
We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.
We do not rent, trade, or license mailing lists.
We do not disclose personal information to data brokers or people-search services.
We do not use information collected through this site to make automated decisions about you.
We do not knowingly collect information from children (Section 11).

8. How we use information, and your choices

8.1 Purposes

To respond to your inquiry and to determine whether we can assist you, including running a conflicts check.
To communicate with you about our services, publications, programs, and podcast, subject to your ability to unsubscribe at any time.
To operate, secure, maintain, and improve this website, and to understand which content visitors find useful.
To detect and prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
To comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations, including records retention obligations that apply to lawyers.

8.2 Choices

Unsubscribe using the link in any newsletter, or write to us. We will still reply to a message you send us.
Use your browser controls or the Google opt-out add-on described in Section 6.1.
Every field beyond your email address is optional in the sense that you decide what to tell us. Tell us as little as possible until we have a relationship.

9. Your requests

No comprehensive United States privacy statute currently imposes these obligations on a firm of our size — the Florida Digital Bill of Rights, for example, applies only to very large technology platforms. We nevertheless offer the following as a matter of firm policy, to every visitor, regardless of where you live. You may ask us to:

tell you what personal information we hold about you, and where we got it;
give you a copy of it;
correct it if it is wrong;
delete it; or
stop contacting you

Write to privacy@ssl.law, or use the telephone number or mailing address in Section 15. We will acknowledge your request within 10 business days and respond substantively within 45 days, and we will tell you if we need longer. We may need to ask you for enough information to confirm who you are, and we will use what you give us for that purpose only.

Two limits, stated plainly. First, we may decline a deletion request to the extent the information is subject to a legal or professional retention obligation, is needed to establish or defend a legal claim, or relates to a matter in which we are or were engaged; if we decline in part, we will tell you why. Second, if you are or were a client, or you contacted us about a prospective engagement, our professional obligations govern the file, and a request under this section will not be used to alter or delete a client record. If you are unhappy with our response, write to privacy@ssl.law and ask that it be reviewed by the firm’s managing attorney.

10. How long we keep information

• Form submissions and correspondence. Retained while we consider and respond to your inquiry, and thereafter in accordance with the firm’s records retention schedule, currently 7 years.
• Newsletter subscription records. Retained until you unsubscribe, and for a short period afterward to honor the unsubscribe and to demonstrate that we did.
• Server logs. Retained for 12 months for security and troubleshooting.
• Analytics data. Retained by Google for 14 months, after which Google deletes the underlying event-level records.
• Client and matter records. Retained as our professional and legal obligations require, which is generally longer than the periods above.

11. Children

This website is directed to businesses and their advisers, not to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 18 — we do not sell or share anyone’s. If you believe a child has provided us information, write to privacy@ssl.law and we will delete it.

12. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards intended to protect information against accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. No website or transmission method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will never be defeated. Do not use this website to transmit anything whose disclosure would harm you — see Section 2.

13. Other websites and social media

This site links to third-party websites, including our profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn, and X, and to podcast platforms that host our program. Those services have their own privacy policies and their own tracking practices, which we do not control. Clicking through means their policies apply, not ours. Following us on a social platform means that platform, not we, is collecting information about your activity there.

14. Visitors outside the United States

We are a Florida law firm serving primarily United States clients. This website is operated from and hosted in the United States, and information collected through it is processed there. United States law may offer protections different from those of your home country. If you access this site from outside the United States, you do so on that understanding. This policy is not written to satisfy the requirements of the European Union General Data Protection Regulation or the ePrivacy Directive, and we do not target visitors in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom.
