How we collect, use, and protect information.

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

Unified Immigration Lawyers respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we may collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit our website, contact our firm, or use services available through our website.

Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, including when you:

  • Submit a contact or consultation request
  • Book a consultation
  • Communicate with us by email, telephone, or through our website
  • Subscribe to communications or updates
  • Submit information related to an immigration matter

Depending on how you interact with us, this information may include your name, email address, telephone number, country of residence, immigration matter type, and any other information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit confidential or sensitive information through a website form unless specifically requested to do so.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser and device type
  • Operating system
  • Pages viewed
  • Referring website
  • Approximate geographic location
  • Date and time of your visit
  • Website interactions

We may use cookies, analytics tools, pixels, and similar technologies to understand how visitors use our website, maintain website functionality, measure performance, and improve the user experience.

How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

  • Respond to inquiries and consultation requests
  • Schedule and manage appointments
  • Determine how we may be able to assist with an immigration matter
  • Communicate with prospective and existing clients
  • Provide legal services where a lawyer-client relationship has been established
  • Operate, maintain, and improve our website
  • Analyze website traffic and performance
  • Protect against fraud, misuse, or security threats
  • Comply with professional, regulatory, and legal obligations

We will not sell your personal information.

Lawyer-Client Relationship

Submitting information through this website, contacting the firm, or booking a consultation does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship.

A lawyer-client relationship is established only after Unified Immigration Lawyers has agreed to act on your behalf and any required engagement or retainer agreement has been completed.

Information submitted before a lawyer-client relationship is established may not be protected by lawyer-client privilege.

Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, remember preferences, analyze website use, and understand the effectiveness of our content and marketing.

We may also use third-party analytics or advertising services that collect information about visits to our website.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some website features function.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to help operate our website and provide services, including providers for:

  • Website hosting
  • Online appointment scheduling
  • Client intake and contact forms
  • Analytics
  • Email communications
  • Payment processing
  • Website security
  • Customer relationship or practice management systems

These providers may process personal information on our behalf and are subject to their own privacy practices and contractual obligations.

Our website may also contain links to government agencies, professional organizations, social media platforms, and other third-party websites. Unified Immigration Lawyers is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites.

Online Payments

Where online payment options are available, payments may be processed through a third-party payment provider. Unified Immigration Lawyers may not directly receive or store complete payment-card information.

Please review the payment provider’s privacy and security practices when using those services.

How We Share Information

We may disclose personal information:

  • To service providers that assist us in operating our website or business
  • Where necessary to provide legal services requested by a client
  • With your consent
  • Where required or permitted by law, court order, professional obligations, or regulatory requirements
  • Where necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of the firm, our clients, or others

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to satisfy applicable legal, professional, regulatory, accounting, or reporting obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and whether a lawyer-client relationship has been established.

Data Security

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

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
  • Request deletion of certain personal information where legally permitted
  • Ask questions about how your personal information is used or disclosed

Certain information may need to be retained where required by law or professional obligations.

International Data Processing

Some service providers used by our firm or website may process or store information outside your province, territory, or country of residence. As a result, information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is processed or stored.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children to use independently to submit personal information. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website without appropriate authorization, please contact us.

The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
