Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 2026

Forte Law PLLC (“Forte Law,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information in connection with this website (the “Site”) and communications arising from inquiries submitted through the Site.

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Site and related communications. Information processed in connection with an attorney-client relationship may also be subject to applicable professional obligations, engagement terms, and other legal requirements.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through the Site, including through our contact form, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the details of your inquiry.

Because the details of a legal inquiry may contain sensitive information, we encourage you not to submit confidential or highly sensitive information through the Site unless it is reasonably necessary for us to evaluate your inquiry or we have requested that information.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit or interact with the Site, certain technical information may be collected automatically by us or by service providers that support the Site. Depending on the services and technologies used to operate the Site, this information may include your IP address, browser or device information, referring pages, pages visited, dates and times of access, general location information derived from an IP address, and similar technical or usage information.

This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, or similar technologies used for website functionality, security, performance, or administration.

How We Use Your Information

We may use personal information collected through the Site to:

• evaluate your inquiry and determine whether we may be able to assist with your matter or accept a representation;
• communicate with you regarding your inquiry, including by telephone, email, or text message;
• schedule consultations and provide information you request;
• conduct conflicts checks or take other steps reasonably related to evaluating a potential attorney-client relationship;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
• detect, prevent, or address security, fraud, or technical issues;
• comply with applicable laws, court orders, professional obligations, or other legal requirements; and
• establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

We do not use information submitted through the contact form for marketing purposes unless we separately disclose that use and, where required, obtain appropriate consent.

Text Messaging (SMS) Communications

If you provide a phone number, you may receive calls or text messages from Forte Law PLLC related to your inquiry, such as to follow up regarding your request or schedule a consultation.

Message frequency varies depending on your inquiry, and message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for assistance.

We do not sell your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in information or share it with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Service providers that facilitate communications on our behalf may process information as necessary to provide those services, subject to applicable contractual and legal restrictions.

How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information or share personal information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may disclose personal information to service providers that assist us in operating the Site or our practice, such as website hosting, information technology, security, communications, email, cloud-storage, or practice-management providers. Those providers may process information only as necessary to perform services on our behalf and subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, court process, regulatory requirements, professional obligations, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Forte Law or others.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy alters any duties of confidentiality or other professional obligations that may apply under applicable law or rules of professional conduct. Submission of information through the Site does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including evaluating and responding to inquiries, conducting conflicts checks, maintaining appropriate business and professional records, complying with legal and ethical obligations, resolving disputes, and establishing, exercising, or defending legal rights.

The length of time we retain information may vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable legal or professional requirements.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices and Rights

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP to a message from us.

You may also contact us to request information about personal information we maintain about you, request that inaccurate information be corrected, request deletion of certain information, or ask us to stop certain communications.

These rights may be subject to limitations under applicable law and to legal or professional obligations that require or permit us to retain certain information.

Additional Information for Individuals in the European Economic Area

If the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies to our processing of your personal data, the following additional provisions apply.

Data Controller

For purposes of the GDPR, Forte Law PLLC is the controller of personal data described in this Privacy Policy.

Forte Law PLLC is based in Miami, Florida, United States.

Contact: info@forte.law
Mailing Address: 2665 South Bayshore Drive, Suite 220, Coconut Grove, FL 33133

Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on the circumstances, we process personal data under one or more of the following legal bases:

• Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract or performance of a contract, including responding to an inquiry, evaluating whether we can provide legal services, scheduling a consultation, and communicating regarding potential or existing legal services;
• Our legitimate interests, including operating and securing the Site, managing our practice, responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate records, conducting conflicts checks, and protecting our legal rights, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests;
• Compliance with legal obligations, including obligations arising under applicable law or professional requirements; and
• Consent, where we specifically request and rely upon your consent for a particular processing activity.

Where we process personal data based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

If information you provide includes special categories of personal data or other sensitive information, we process that information only where permitted by applicable law and where reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was provided.

Providing Personal Data

Providing personal data through the Site is generally voluntary. However, if you do not provide information necessary for us to understand or respond to your inquiry, we may be unable to evaluate your matter, respond to your request, or determine whether we can provide legal services.

International Processing and Transfers

Forte Law is located in the United States. If you provide personal data while located in the European Economic Area, your information may therefore be processed in the United States and, depending on the service providers we use, in other countries outside the European Economic Area.

Those countries may have data-protection laws that differ from those in your country. Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer of personal data, we will use an appropriate transfer mechanism or other safeguard recognized by applicable law.

Your GDPR Rights

Subject to applicable law and any available exceptions, you may have the right to:

• request access to personal data we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
• request deletion of your personal data;
• request restriction of the processing of your personal data;
• object to certain processing based on our legitimate interests;
• receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, where applicable, request that it be transferred to another controller;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority in the European Economic Area, including a supervisory authority in the country where you live, work, or believe an infringement occurred.

These rights are not absolute and may be limited where applicable law permits or requires us to retain or continue processing information, including where necessary to comply with legal or professional obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request concerning your personal data.

Automated Decision-Making

We do not use personal data collected through the Site to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning you.

Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information directly from children through the Site.

Information concerning minors may be processed when appropriately provided by a parent, guardian, client, prospective client, or other authorized individual in connection with a legal inquiry or representation.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other circumstances.

Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
