MEADOR & SELTZER, L.C.
Meador & Seltzer, L.C. (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when visiting our website, contacting our office, submitting an intake form, or using our legal services.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the measures we take to protect it.
1. Information We Collect

· Full name, business name, mailing address, email address, and telephone number.
· Information regarding your legal matter or reason for contacting our Firm.
· Information submitted through online intake forms, contact forms, emails, or telephone communications.
· Documents and records provided in connection with a prospective or existing legal matter.
· Billing, payment, and other financial information necessary to provide legal services.
· Other information reasonably necessary to evaluate or provide legal representation.
Our website and service providers may also collect certain technical information, such as IP addresses, browser types, device information, and website usage data.
2. How We Use Your Information
We may use the information collected to:
· Respond to inquiries and requests for legal services.
· Evaluate prospective client matters and potential conflicts of interest.
· Prepare and send Agreements for Representation.
· Communicate with prospective and existing clients.
· Provide legal services and manage client matters.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.
3. Online Intake Forms and CLIO
Our Firm uses CLIO and related legal practice-management services to assist with prospective client intake, matter management, document processing, billing, and client communications. When you complete an online intake form, the information you submit may be processed and stored through CLIO or other authorized service providers used by our Firm. We use this information to review your inquiry, determine whether our Firm may be able to assist you, and facilitate the representation process.Submitting an intake form or contacting our Firm does not, by itself, establish an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is established only when the Firm agrees to undertake representation.
4. Confidentiality of Client Information
As a law firm, we recognize the importance of protecting confidential and privileged information. We handle information received from prospective and existing clients in accordance with applicable laws, professional responsibilities, and the Missouri Rules of Professional Conduct. Information relating to legal representation will not be disclosed except as authorized by the client, permitted or required by applicable law, or otherwise consistent with our professional obligations.
5. Sharing of Information
We may share personal information when reasonably necessary to provide legal services or operate our Firm, including with:
· Attorneys, paralegals, and authorized Firm personnel.
· Courts, opposing counsel, experts, investigators, and other parties as necessary for legal representation.
· Authorized technology, case-management, document-storage, and payment-processing providers.
· Accounting, administrative, and other professional service providers assisting our Firm.
· Government authorities or other parties when required or permitted by law.
We do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing purposes without appropriate authorization.
6. Information Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. These measures may include access restrictions, password protection, secure electronic systems, and procedures for handling confidential client information. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Email and Electronic Communications
By contacting our Firm electronically, you acknowledge that we may respond using email, telephone, or other appropriate communication methods. Although we take reasonable precautions to protect communications, ordinary email and internet communications may involve security risks. Please do not submit highly sensitive personal or financial information through an unsecured website form or email unless instructed to do so by our Firm.
8. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website traffic, and improve the visitor experience. Depending on your browser settings, you may be able to limit or disable cookies. Certain website features may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.
9. Third-Party Websites and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including client intake platforms, payment processors, and other resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of independently operated third-party websites. We encourage visitors to review their privacy policies before submitting personal information.
10. Retention of Information
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, maintain appropriate business and legal records, and comply with applicable laws and professional obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information, the status of a legal matter, and applicable recordkeeping requirements.
11. Requests Regarding Personal Information
You may contact our Firm to request that we review or correct personal information we maintain about you. Requests for access, correction, or deletion will be evaluated in accordance with applicable law, attorney-client confidentiality obligations, record-retention requirements, and other professional responsibilities. Certain records may need to be retained even after a request for deletion.
12. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through our website without appropriate authorization. Information concerning minors may be collected when reasonably necessary in connection with legal representation or a prospective legal matter.
