Privacy Policy

Rapps & Associates PLLC  ·  Last updated: June 2026

Rapps & Associates PLLC (“we,” “us,” or “the firm”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our website, contact us, or use our services.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Contact information — name, email address, phone number, and mailing address when you submit a form or contact us directly.
  • Communications — messages you send us by email, phone, or text, and responses we provide.
  • Usage data — pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, and browser/device type, collected automatically via cookies and similar technologies.
  • SMS consent — your mobile number and consent preference when you opt in to text messaging, as described in Section 3 below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and provide legal services.
  • Send educational resources, event invitations, and other communications you have requested or consented to receive.
  • Improve our website and communications.
  • Comply with legal and professional obligations.

3. Text Messaging (SMS/MMS)

Rapps & Associates PLLC offers text messaging (SMS/MMS) to clients and prospective clients. We use text messaging in two separate ways:

  1. Case-related communication. If you provide a mobile number and indicate at intake that we may contact you by text — or if you text our office first — we may exchange brief, case-related messages with you (for example, confirming logistics or receiving a document you send us).
  2. Marketing and educational messages. Separately, individuals who expressly opt in through a form on this website may receive occasional educational and promotional messages, such as newsletter alerts and event invitations. This marketing program is handled through a dedicated number and is independent of the case-related messaging above.

When you provide your mobile number and consent, we collect your phone number and your consent preference, and we use that information only to send the messages you opted into and to respond to messages you send us. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for assistance.

No mobile information (including your phone number and SMS consent) will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers — vendors who assist with website hosting, email delivery, or text messaging platforms, under confidentiality obligations and only to the extent necessary to provide those services.
  • Legal requirements — when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of the firm or others.
  • Professional obligations — as required by applicable rules of professional conduct.

We do not share mobile information (including phone numbers and SMS consent) with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

5. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Please do not send confidential legal information by email or text without first speaking with our office.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you by contacting us at the address below. You may also opt out of marketing communications at any time by replying STOP to any text message, clicking “unsubscribe” in any email, or contacting us directly.
