III. Advertising and Analytics. The Website does not currently use third-party analytics, advertising, or cookie vendors.

Article 4 — Text Messages
I. Consent. By providing your mobile telephone number and affirmatively agreeing to receive text messages, you authorize Kiwan Law to send messages concerning consultation responses, appointment reminders, case-related communications, and administrative notices. Messages may be sent using automated technology where disclosed at the time of consent. Consent to receive marketing messages is not a condition of obtaining legal services.
II. Frequency and Charges. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply under your wireless service plan. Wireless carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages.
III. Opt-Out and Help. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. We may send one confirmation message acknowledging your request. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us at info@kiwanlaw.com or (805) 243-3462.
IV. Number Changes. You must promptly notify us if you discontinue or transfer a telephone number used to communicate with us.
V. Privacy of Messages. Text messages may not be encrypted and may be accessible to wireless carriers, service providers, or persons with access to your device or account. Do not send highly sensitive, privileged, or time-critical information by text message unless Kiwan Law has specifically authorized that method of communication.
Article 5 — Cookies and Tracking Technologies
I. The Website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functions, security, performance measurement, and analytics. The Website does not currently use third-party advertising or analytics cookies, and no other cookies or tracking technologies are currently used.
II. You may control cookies through your browser or device settings. The Website does not currently offer a cookie preference tool. Disabling cookies may affect Website functionality.
III. We respond to legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals when required. Because there is no uniform standard for other "Do Not Track" signals, the Website may not respond to them.
Article 6 — Confidentiality and Attorney-Client Relationship
I. Using the Website or contacting Kiwan Law does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. Such a relationship is established only through a written engagement agreement signed by Kiwan Law and the client.
II. Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-critical information unless and until Kiwan Law confirms that it represents you and authorizes the communication.
III. Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any confidentiality obligation that applies after an attorney-client relationship has been established.
Article 7 — Data Retention and Security
I. We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with professional and legal obligations, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and protect or enforce rights.
II. Retention periods depend on the nature and sensitivity of the information, the reason it was collected, applicable professional obligations, and legal or operational requirements. Information relating to legal matters may be retained under our file-retention practices even after representation ends.
III. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No electronic transmission or storage method is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
