Introduction:
Downyok & Downyok, P.A. is a family law practice located in Venice, Florida. The following is our privacy policy, which is stated here to inform you about what information we collect, how it is used, and with whom it is shared.
Types of Information Collected:
Downyok & Downyok, P.A. asks for your first and last name, phone number, email address, and some brief information about why you wish to consult with a Florida family law attorney.
Method of Information Collection:
Downyok & Downyok, P.A. primarily collects this information either via the contact form on this website, which sends the information to us by email, or by an employee asking you for this information when you call us. We may collect personal information from or about you in a variety of ways.
- We collect your personal information when you actively provide it to us.
- We may also collect personal information about you when another client actively provides it to us. For example, if a client has described their relationship to you during a consultation, we might collect your email address, name, and phone number.
- We may automatically collect personal information from you as you visit our website.
- We may receive personal information about you from a business or commercial partner. For example, we may receive personal information from third-party service providers that you have linked to your use of our Services (including social media accounts, single-sign-on services, and scheduling applications), publicly available sources, data enrichment vendors, payment and delivery service vendors, advertising networks, analytics providers, and our business partners.
Purpose of Data Collection:
Downyok & Downyok, P.A. collects and uses personal information solely for the purposes of giving the user legal advice, including to make sure that we do not have a conflict in representing you or giving legal advice due to the past representation of others.
When we collect personal information from you in connection with offering our website or services, our lawful basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.
We will normally collect personal information from you where you are inquiring about services, when we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (i.e. to provide the Services), or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect the personal information in question or we may process your personal information where we have your consent to do so.
If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or enter into a contract with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).
If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the “Contact Us” which can be access using the menu in the top right corner of the screen.
Data Security Measures:
Keeping your information secure is important to us. Like all businesses, we cannot guarantee the security of the personal information we collect and process in connection with our websites and services. We have, however, taken certain steps designed to reduce the risk that your personal information will be subject to loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, including but not limited to employing encryption methods where appropriate. Downyok & Downyok, P.A. has no control over or responsibility for the security or privacy policies or practices of other sites on the Internet you might visit, interact with, or from which you might buy products or services, even if you visit them using links from our Website.
Data Sharing:
We will not rent or sell personal information about you. We may share and disclose personal information that we collect with the following third parties either with your consent, or for business or legal purposes and in accordance with applicable law:
· Law enforcement agencies, regulatory or governmental bodies, or other third parties in order to respond to legal process, comply with any legal obligation; protect or defend your rights, or interests or property or that of third parties
· Other third parties with your consent.
User Rights:
In general, when processing the content of communications such as voicemails, faxes, recordings etc. in connection with our Services, we do so on behalf of our EEA/UK Customers and in accordance with their instructions as a data processor. This means that if you believe Downyok & Downyok, P.A. may have collected or stored personal information about you on behalf of a Downyok & Downyok, P.A. client as a data processor or if you wish to access, review, modify or delete any content of your communications, under applicable EEA/UK law or otherwise, you should contact that client directly with your request. We will then help them to fulfill that request in accordance with their instructions.
Where we process personal information collected via our website or via our services for our own account management, billing or marketing purposes and where required by applicable law, we provide individuals with the opportunity to access, review, modify, and delete any such personal information that we process.
If you are a person located in the EEA/UK or if you are a California resident, you may have broader rights to access and delete your personal information, to object to or restrict processing of your personal information, to correct your personal information, or request portability of your personal information.
Access: You can request more information about the personal data we hold about you. You can request a copy of the personal data.
Rectification: If you believe that any personal data we are holding about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement the data. Please contact us as soon as possible if you notice any inaccuracy or incompleteness.
Objection: You can let us know that you object to the collection or use of your personal data for certain purposes.
Erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your personal data from our systems.
Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to restrict further processing of your personal data. (This just means you can ask us to stop using it for what we have been using it for.) This may mean that we have to discontinue our relationship with you if you become a client.
Portability: You can ask for a copy of your personal data in a machine-readable format. You can also request that we transmit the data to someone else where it’s technically possible.
Withdrawal of Consent: If you have consented to our use of personal data for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time. Any such decision will not affect any processing that has already occurred nor will it affect processing of your personal information conducted in reliance of lawful processing grounds other than consent. Withdrawing your consent may mean your access to the Services will be limited or suspended, and your accounts may be terminated, as applicable. Where you withdraw your consent, but we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. your employer) have a legitimate interest in doing so, or we have different legal basis for using your information (for example, fulfilling a contract with you), we may continue to process your information, subject to your rights to access and control your information.
Right to File Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint about Downyok & Downyok, P.A.’s practices with respect to your personal data with the supervisory authority of an EU Member State, or the California Attorney General.
You can submit a request through our website. We will consider and handle all requests in accordance with applicable laws.

Date Retention:
We will retain your personal information in order to fulfill the purposes for which the information was originally collected. Since law firms in the State of Florida have an ongoing obligation to ensure that they represent clients free of conflict, the aforementioned information will be kept until it is no longer permitted by law and/or Downyok & Downyok, P.A. no longer has a legitimate and lawful business purpose to do so.
Other provisions:
SMS opt-in or phone numbers for the purpose of SMS are not being shared.
You must consent to send and receive SMS/text messages, or for us to obtain your phone numbers for the purpose of SMS/text messages, in order for us to communicate with you by SMS/text messages.
Your personal information, including your phone number, is never shared with anyone except as required by law. Our firm prefers not to send and receive text messages, but understands that some clients prefer to communicate by text messages or may have no other alternative, and so we offer the option to send and receive messages for specific clients on a case by case basis, and usually as a supplement to other forms of communication. Text messages are used solely to communicate with you as a client, one-on-one with one of our attorneys or staff members, and never for the purposes of soliciting you as an advertisement.
Until we have signed a retainer agreement with you, Downyok & Downyok, P.A. and its attorneys do not represent you. However, in any situation where a prospective client approaches a firm for the purposes of seeking legal advice, any information provided in that process is generally protected as privileged information. We take your information and trust seriously, and will never sell your information to anyone.
