The Law Office of Evelyn Aimée De Jesús Rodríguez, Esq. (the "Firm," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website and our client portal, how we use it, and the choices you have.

3. How We Share Information
We share personal information only as needed to serve you and as permitted by law:
- Service providers that help us operate — for example, our client-portal and case-management platform, payment processor, e-mail and document-storage providers. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations and may use your data only to provide services to us.
- Government agencies and courts when filing applications, petitions, or pleadings on your behalf with your authorization.

4. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) connections, access controls, and secure document storage. Payments are handled through a PCI-DSS compliant processor. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain client files and related records for at least the period required by The Florida Bar and applicable law, and for as long as needed to serve you, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Website inquiry data from individuals who do not become clients is retained only as long as reasonably necessary.
