Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 12/10/2024
Why are lawyers so good at protecting personal information?
Because their default setting is privileged.
This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to transparency and protecting your privacy when you access www.unified.law, its subdomains, and associated social media accounts (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to the terms outlined here.
Our Commitment to Privacy
We’re as serious about your privacy as a lawyer in court—but with fewer objections.
We are dedicated to safeguarding your information. This policy explains:
What information we collect.
How we use your information.
With whom we share it.
Your rights and choices.
What Information Do We Collect?
We promise not to collect your Netflix history or cat’s name—just the essentials.
We collect three types of information:
Personal Information
When you fill out a contact form to request information, we collect your name, email address, and inquiry details so we can respond.
Information you provide directly (e.g., via forms, email).
For example, Name, email address, IP address, device identifier, and any content shared through comments or social media.
If you comment on one of our blog posts, your name and comment will be publicly visible.
We also collect limited personal data through cookies and similar technologies for analytics and functionality.
De-Identified Information
Data that cannot identify an individual, such as aggregated analytics.
We track the total number of visits to our website but do not link this data to individual users.
Why? To improve the Site’s performance and user experience.
Aggregate Information
Non-identifiable data include browser type, time spent on pages, and click paths.
Example: If most users spend time on our "Services" page, we use this data to enhance that section.
Why? To analyze trends and enhance Site usability.
How Do We Use Your Information?
We use collected data to:
Respond to inquiries and provide requested services.
Example: If you email us about our services, we’ll use your email to send you the requested details.
Improve the functionality and performance of the Site.

Analyze trends and user behaviors.

Share updates, promotions, or relevant information (opt-in required).

We do not sell your information.

With our affiliates, Unified Global Inc., Unified Accounting and Tax, LLP, and Outside CLO, PC, for combined educational marketing purposes.

Choice of Law and Arbitration
Any disputes arising from or relating to this Privacy Policy shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that any disputes will be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration administered by JAMS in Dallas, Texas, in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and before a single arbitrator. Each party shall bear its own costs, and the prevailing party may recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator.
Confidential and Privileged Information
We’re good at keeping secrets, but until you officially hire us, think of submissions through the Site like small talk at a networking event—not courtroom testimony.
Unified Law Group, PB LLC is a legal support company supervised by Outside CLO, PC, a Texas-based law firm. We ask that you refrain from submitting any confidential or privileged information through the Site, as the proper safeguards to protect privilege are not in place until an engagement letter is signed with Outside CLO, PC, and Unified Law Group, PB LLC. While we strive to maintain confidentiality and secure any information provided, we cannot ensure the protection of privilege before formal engagement.
