How We Use Information
No Attorney-Client Relationship Through Website Use
Submitting information through this website, calling our office, emailing us, or otherwise communicating with us does not create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is created only after the Firm has completed an appropriate conflict check, agreed in writing to represent you or your company, and both parties have entered into a written engagement agreement.
Unless and until an attorney-client relationship has been created through a written engagement agreement, information you submit to us may not be treated as privileged or confidential.
Confidentiality of Client Information
Once an attorney-client relationship has been established, information we receive in connection with our legal representation is handled in accordance with applicable professional responsibility rules, confidentiality obligations, engagement terms, and applicable law.
This Privacy Policy does not limit, replace, or modify any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection, professional responsibility obligation, or confidentiality obligation that may apply after an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information.
We may disclose information to service providers, vendors, consultants, or other third parties who assist us with website hosting, website maintenance, analytics, email, client communications, document management, payment processing, scheduling, cybersecurity, administrative support, or other business and legal operations.
We may also disclose information when necessary or appropriate to:
Analytics and Website Performance Tools
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors locate and use this website. These tools may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, browser type, device type, and general geographic information.
We use this information to improve website content, identify technical issues, understand visitor behavior, and evaluate the performance of our trademark-related resources.
We do not use this information to provide legal advice, evaluate the merits of a trademark matter, or create an attorney-client relationship.

If you interact with NexTrend Legal through a third-party platform, such as a search engine, social media platform, online directory, review site, map listing, scheduling tool, payment processor, or other third-party service, your information may also be subject to that third party’s privacy policy and terms of use.

Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, provide legal services, manage client relationships, maintain business records, comply with legal and ethical obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect our rights.
The length of time we retain information may vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, the existence of an attorney-client relationship, applicable professional responsibility obligations, legal requirements, and legitimate business needs.
