Private Policy

1. Introduction

X Bennett Law (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates https://xbennettlaw.com/ (the “Site”) and provides personal injury legal representation. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information of visitors to our Site, prospective clients, and current and former clients.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you when you use our Site or our legal services. It is separate from our Terms and Conditions, which govern use of the Site generally.

2. Important Note About Attorney-Client Privilege

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle personal information as a matter of data privacy practice. It is separate from, and does not limit, attorney-client privilege, the duty of confidentiality owed to clients under applicable rules of professional conduct, or any other legal protections that apply to communications with the Firm. Submitting information through our Site, including through a contact form, chat, or case-evaluation request — does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.
