Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 2026
1. Overview
Woodhead Law Firm ("Firm") operates the website at www.halimawoodhead.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Firm collects through this website, how the Firm uses it, and your rights with respect to it.
This Policy does not govern information shared with the Firm in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Information shared by clients in connection with legal representation is protected by attorney-client privilege and the Rules of Professional Conduct governing attorney confidentiality, not by this Policy.
2. Information Collected
The Firm collects information you voluntarily provide through the website contact form, including:
Your name
Your email address
Your phone number (if provided)
The content of your message
The Firm may also collect basic technical information automatically when you visit the site, such as your browser type, device type, and general geographic location, through standard website analytics tools (such as those provided by Squarespace). This information is collected in aggregate and is not used to identify you personally.
3. How the Firm Uses Your Information
The Firm uses the information you submit through the contact form to:
Respond to your inquiry
Determine whether the Firm is able to assist you
Conduct a conflicts-of-interest check before agreeing to any representation
The Firm does not use your information for marketing purposes without your consent. The Firm does not sell your information to third parties.
4. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting a contact form or sending an email does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not include sensitive, confidential, or privileged information in any message until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established in writing.
5. How the Firm Shares Your Information
The Firm does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. The Firm may share it only in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers: The website is hosted by Squarespace, which processes data on the Firm’s behalf subject to its own privacy policy. The Firm may use email or calendar tools that similarly process contact information in the ordinary course of responding to inquiries.
Legal requirements: The Firm may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or applicable rules of professional conduct.
Professional responsibility: The Firm’s attorney is subject to the Rules of Professional Conduct of the states of North Carolina and New York. In rare circumstances, those rules may require or permit disclosure of certain information.
6. Data Retention
The Firm retains contact form submissions and related correspondence for a minimum of seven (7) years, consistent with professional record-keeping obligations. If no attorney-client relationship results from your inquiry, the Firm will retain only the information necessary to document that the Firm conducted a conflicts check.
7. Security
The Firm takes reasonable precautions to protect information submitted through this website. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. The Firm cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted electronically.
8. Cookies and Analytics
The website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies through Squarespace to understand how visitors use the site. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your experience on the site.
The Firm does not use cookies to track you across third-party websites or for targeted advertising.
9. Third-Party Links
The website may contain links to third-party websites. The Firm is not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourages you to review their privacy policies independently.
10. Your Rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:
Request access to information the Firm holds about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your information, subject to our legal and professional retention obligations

AI Policy
Woodhead Law Firm uses generative AI tools to assist with legal research, drafting, and other tasks where appropriate and with the client's express written permission (“opt in”). All legal advice and work product is reviewed, verified, and approved by a licensed attorney: AI never replaces attorney judgment. The Firm takes care to avoid inputting confidential client information into AI tools without the client's informed consent and appropriate safeguards in place.
The Firm also uses AI to assist with non-legal administrative tasks associated with running a small business, such as drafting internal documents and communications. Client information is not used for these purposes.
