Law Offices of Maynard F. Newman, P.L.L.C.
Effective November 13, 2026
This policy explains what information the Law Offices of Maynard F. Newman, P.L.L.C. (“the firm,” “we”) collects through newman-lawfirm.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information you give us
If you use our contact form, we collect your name and email address and, if you choose to provide them, your phone number, the general nature of your matter, and a brief description. If you email or call us, we receive whatever you choose to share.
Contacting us does not make you a client. No attorney-client relationship exists unless and until you and the firm both sign a written retainer agreement that sets forth the responsibilities of the parties. Even if we do not represent you, we will protect information you share with us as a prospective client as the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct require. Please do not send confidential details in your first message. A brief description is enough for us to check for conflicts and respond.
How we use it
We use the information you send to respond to your inquiry, check for conflicts of interest, decide whether we can take on your matter, and communicate with you. We do not sell, rent or trade your information, and we do not use it for marketing lists.
How the contact form works
When you submit the form, it is delivered as an email to the firm’s mailbox. It is not stored in a database on this website. To filter spam, the form also measures how long the page was open before you submitted it. That measurement is used only for spam screening and is not kept with your inquiry.
Who receives or processes information
- Service providers. Our website and our email are hosted by IONOS. IONOS processes the technical data described below and transmits contact-form inquiries to our mailbox, where they remain in our email system.
- Required disclosures. We may disclose information when required by law, court order or our professional obligations, or when needed to protect the security of our systems or the firm’s legal rights.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, ours collects some technical information through our hosting provider when you visit: the page that referred you, the pages or files you request, your browser type and version, your operating system and device type, the time of your visit, and an anonymized form of your IP address, which is used only to estimate the general location of the visit. IONOS states that it anonymizes this data when it is collected, stores it for eight weeks, and does not pass it on to third parties. We use it only in summary form, through IONOS’s SiteAnalytics statistics tool, to see how the site is used. IONOS states that SiteAnalytics does not use cookies.
Third-party services
- Google Fonts. Our pages load typefaces from Google’s servers, so your browser sends your IP address to Google when the fonts load.
- Google Maps. Our Contact page includes an embedded Google map. Google may collect information and set cookies when the map loads or when you interact with it.
Google’s handling of this information is governed by its privacy policy. We do not control what Google collects. The firm’s site does not use advertising, retargeting or other tracking cookies of its own.
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. The firm does not track visitors across other websites, so we do not change our practices in response to that signal. Third-party services embedded on our site, such as Google Maps, may collect information under their own policies, and we do not control how they respond to browser privacy signals.
Links to other websites
Our articles link to courts, legislatures, government agencies and other sites. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which this policy does not cover.
Children
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Security and retention
The site uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. We keep inquiries as long as needed to respond and to maintain the conflict-of-interest records our professional obligations require. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Reviewing or correcting your information
To ask what information we have from your inquiry, or to have it corrected or deleted, contact us using the information below. We may need to keep some information to meet our legal or professional obligations, including conflict-checking records.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above.
