What we do with your information

Last updated 12 August 2026

The short version

We collect what you send us and nothing else. We do not sell it, we do not share it with advertisers, and there is no tracking on this website beyond a privacy-respecting count of how many people visited each page. If you want your information deleted, email us and we will do it, subject to the record-keeping rules the Oregon State Bar imposes on us.

What we collect, and why

When you fill in a form on this site

Your name, email address, phone number if you give one, the practice area you selected and anything you typed in the message box. We use it to reply to you and for nothing else. It goes to an inbox that only the four of us can read.

When you become a client

Everything necessary to run your matter: financial records, correspondence, court filings, identity documents. This is held under attorney client privilege and under the confidentiality duty in Oregon Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6, which is stricter than any privacy policy.

When you just read this website

Our host records the usual server log information: the page requested, a truncated IP address, the time and the browser type. We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool that sets no cookies, records no personal data and does not follow you to other websites. There is no advertising pixel on this site and there never will be.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies at all. That is why there is no cookie banner. If we ever add a service that needs one, we will ask you first rather than assuming.

Who else sees it

Our email and document storage providers, under contracts that prohibit them using your information for anything but providing the service. Where your matter requires it: the court, the other side's lawyer, and any expert we engage with your agreement. Nobody else, ever, without your instruction or a court order.

How long we keep it

Enquiries that do not become matters are deleted after twelve months. Client files are held for ten years after the matter closes, which is the retention period the Oregon State Bar expects of us, and then securely destroyed. You can ask for your file back at any time and we will give it to you.

Your rights

• Ask us what we hold about you, and get a copy.
• Ask us to correct anything that is wrong.
• Ask us to delete an enquiry, which we will do promptly.
• Ask us to delete a client file, which we will do where the professional rules allow us to. Where they do not, we will tell you exactly which rule prevents it.
• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. There is nothing to opt out of, because we do neither.

Send any of these to hello@harborfamilylaw.com and we will respond within thirty days, usually much sooner.

Children

This website is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anybody under thirteen. Where a matter involves your children, their information is part of your file and is protected the same way the rest of it is.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and, for current clients, tell you directly. We will not make a material change quietly.
