A service of Enterprise Legal Counsel LLC d/b/a ProBiz Law.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Enterprise Legal Counsel LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company doing business as ProBiz Law and operating LawScription℠ (the “Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information in connection with our website at lawscription.com and our subscription and à la carte legal services (collectively, the “Services”).

Because we are a law firm, much of the information you share with us in connection with legal services is also protected by the attorney-client privilege and by our duty of confidentiality under New Jersey Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6 and corresponding rules in other jurisdictions in which we are admitted. Those protections operate independently of, and in addition to, this Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with the practices described here, please do not use the Services.

2. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect through:

• Our website at lawscription.com;
• Our client portal hosted on the DirectLaw / ClientSpace platform;
• Email, telephone, and other direct communications with the Firm;
• Forms, intake questionnaires, and consultation requests; and
• Documents and information you submit in connection with a legal engagement.

This Policy does not apply to information practices of third parties whose services we link to from our website (for example, social-media platforms) or who collect information from you independently.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Provide

We collect information you provide when you contact us, request a consultation, complete intake forms, subscribe to our services, purchase a document, or otherwise engage with us. This may include:

• Identifying information such as your name, business name, business role, mailing address, email address, and telephone number;
• Account credentials you create on our client portal, such as username and password (passwords are stored in hashed form by the platform provider);
• Engagement information such as the nature of your legal matter, the parties involved, conflict-check disclosures, and the specific service you have requested;
• Document content you upload, share, or generate through the client portal in connection with your legal matter;
• Communications you exchange with us, including email, secure messages through the portal, and any voicemail or written correspondence; and
• Payment information you provide at checkout. Payment information is processed by our payment processor and is not stored on the Firm’s own systems beyond a tokenized reference and the last four digits of the payment method.

3.2 Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit our website, we (and our service providers) automatically collect limited technical information through cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on pages, and similar usage data. See Section 7 (Cookies and Tracking) for more detail.

3.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third parties, such as our payment processor (transaction confirmations), conflicts-check databases (for the purpose of confirming whether we may represent you), and parties referred by you. We use this information only as needed to evaluate, establish, and provide the Services.

4. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Evaluate prospective engagements, including running conflicts checks and confirming identity;
• Provide the Services, including drafting, reviewing, and delivering legal documents; conducting consultations; and providing attorney advice within the scope of the engagement;
• Administer accounts and subscriptions, including processing payments, applying subscriber discounts, and managing renewals and cancellations;
• Communicate with you, including about your matter, billing, service updates, and important changes to our Services or policies;
• Operate, secure, and improve our website and the Services, including diagnostics, fraud prevention, and analytics;
• Comply with our legal, ethical, and regulatory obligations, including those imposed by the Rules of Professional Conduct, court orders, and applicable law; and
• Defend our legal rights, including responding to claims, subpoenas, and disputes.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use information you share with us in your capacity as a client for marketing to third parties.

5. How We Share Information

5.1 Service Providers

We share personal information with service providers who help us operate the Services. These providers act on our behalf under written contracts that limit their use of the information to providing services to us and that require appropriate confidentiality and security protections. Service providers we currently use include:

• DirectLaw, Inc. — operator of the ClientSpace platform that hosts the LawScription document library and client portal; payment card processing for individual document purchases.
• Lawmatics — client intake, CRM, and matter onboarding; payment card processing for subscription engagements.
• Clio — matter management and case-file recordkeeping.
• WordPress.com (Automattic Inc.) — website hosting and analytics.
• Microsoft 365 — Outlook email and document delivery (OneDrive/SharePoint).

5.2 Co-Counsel and Referrals

With your knowledge and (where required) your informed consent, we may share information with co-counsel, referring counsel, or counsel in another jurisdiction whose involvement is necessary to provide the Services. We will not disclose information beyond what is necessary for that purpose.

5.3 Legal Compliance and Protection of Rights

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or subpoena; in response to a lawful request by a public authority; to enforce our agreements (including the Terms of Service); to investigate or prevent fraud or security threats; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, or others. Where we are permitted by law and the Rules of Professional Conduct to notify you before complying, we will use reasonable efforts to do so.

5.4 Business Transactions

If the Firm undergoes a merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of its practice, or reorganization, client information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the Rules of Professional Conduct and any required client consent.

5.5 Aggregated or De-Identified Data

We may use and share aggregated or de-identified information (information that does not reasonably identify any individual or matter) for analytics, research, and general business purposes.

6. Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidentiality

The Firm holds client information in confidence as required by the Rules of Professional Conduct. Disclosure of client information to service providers acting on our behalf does not waive the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, or our duty of confidentiality. Our service providers are engaged under contracts that obligate them to maintain confidentiality consistent with these protections.

Communications you send through insecure channels (such as ordinary email) may not be fully protected from interception by third parties. We recommend using the secure messaging features of the client portal for sensitive matters.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website to operate the site, remember your preferences, understand usage patterns, and improve the Services. Cookies fall into the following general categories:

• Strictly necessary — required for the site to function (e.g., session management).
• Functional — used to remember preferences and settings.
• Analytics — used to understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve it.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through your settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the website. We do not currently use cookies or tracking technologies to enable third-party advertising or to engage in cross-context behavioral advertising.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services and to meet our legal, ethical, and regulatory obligations.

Client files (including documents, communications, and matter records) are retained in accordance with applicable Rules of Professional Conduct and the Firm’s file-retention policy. In general, New Jersey requires lawyers to maintain trust account records and certain matter records for at least seven (7) years after termination of the engagement; we may retain materials for longer when necessary to comply with substantive law, to evaluate potential claims or defenses, or because of the nature of the matter.

Information collected through the website that is not part of a client engagement (such as general analytics) is retained only as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

9. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal information we hold against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Our service providers, including the operators of our client portal, payment processing, and case-management systems, maintain their own security programs.

No system of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that information sent to us or stored by us will be free from unauthorized access. If we become aware of a security incident affecting your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

10. Your Rights

Depending on where you reside and the nature of the information, you may have rights with respect to personal information we hold about you, including:

• Access — to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you;
• Correction — to ask us to correct information you believe is inaccurate or incomplete;
• Deletion — to ask us to delete personal information, subject to legal and ethical retention requirements;
• Opt-out of certain processing — depending on applicable state law; and
• Appeal — to appeal our decision regarding a privacy request.

These rights are subject to exceptions, including exceptions for information protected by attorney-client privilege, information we are required to retain by law or the Rules of Professional Conduct, and information necessary to defend or pursue legal claims.

10.1 State-Specific Rights

Residents of certain states (including, where applicable, California, Colorado, Connecticut, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Virginia) may have additional rights under state privacy laws. To exercise these rights or to ask a question about how we handle your information, contact us using the information in Section 14.

10.2 How to Make a Request

To make a request regarding your personal information, contact us at admin@lawscription.com or by mail at the address in Section 14. To protect your information, we will verify your identity before responding to a request. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

11. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under sixteen (16), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under sixteen. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12. Users Outside the United States

Our Services are intended for users located in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your country of residence. By using the Services, you consent to this transfer and processing.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated Policy on our website and update the Effective Date at the top. Where the changes are material, we will provide additional notice (such as by email to active subscribers) before the updated Policy takes effect. Your continued use of the Services after the Effective Date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
