Law Office of Malika P. Ewart / The Right Esq.
Privacy Policy
Effective October 6, 2026
This policy describes personal information handled in connection with this website, inquiries to the Law Office of Malika P. Ewart, and The Right Esq. text-messaging program. Professional duties concerning client and prospective-client information continue to apply independently of this policy.
Information collected
Information supplied directly to the office can include a name, telephone number, email or mailing address, scheduling preferences, correspondence, documents and details about a requested or existing legal matter. Engagement and billing records may also contain payment-related and administrative information. Text-messaging records may include a mobile number, message contents, delivery information, opt-in evidence and opt-out preferences.
Website hosting and security systems may receive technical information such as IP address, browser or device information, requested pages and access times. The website loads fonts from Google Fonts; font requests send technical information, including an IP address, to that provider.
How information is used
The office uses information to respond to inquiries, check potential conflicts, evaluate and provide requested services, coordinate appointments, communicate about matters, administer accounts and payments, protect systems, maintain required records and satisfy legal and professional obligations. SMS information is used to provide the communications requested, document consent, administer messaging preferences and honor opt-out requests.
Disclosures and service providers
Personal information is not sold or rented. Information may be processed by providers supporting hosting, communications, scheduling, document storage, payment processing and other office functions. Such processing is limited to the services performed for the office, rather than permission for independent marketing.
Subject to applicable confidentiality obligations, information may also be disclosed with authorization, as necessary for an engagement, or when disclosure is permitted or required by law. Recipients can include courts, agencies, authorized professionals, experts, litigation participants and other service providers involved in a matter. Nothing in this policy authorizes disclosure otherwise prohibited by professional duties.
SMS consent and mobile information
SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates. Mobile opt-in information is not sold, rented or transferred for another party's marketing or promotional purposes.
Telephone numbers and message data may be processed by communications providers only as needed to transmit and support the office's own messages. That processing does not permit a provider or affiliate to enroll a recipient in a separate messaging program. The general disclosure provisions above do not authorize sale or transfer of SMS consent.
Messaging frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for assistance. Additional details appear in the SMS Terms & Conditions.
Website technology and privacy choices
This homepage does not include advertising pixels or a cross-site behavioral-advertising program. Hosting and security services may use technical logs or essential technologies to operate and protect the site. Browser Do Not Track signals do not change the site's essential functions. External font requests and links to other websites remain subject to the receiving provider's practices. The Google Fonts FAQ provides information about that service.
The contact links open the visitor's telephone or email application. No website form in this version collects SMS consent. Providing a phone number in an inquiry does not, by itself, authorize recurring or promotional text messages.
Retention and security
Information is retained as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, including representation, administrative records, consent and suppression records, dispute resolution and applicable recordkeeping duties. Access and handling are subject to the office's confidentiality and security procedures. No electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure; sensitive materials should be exchanged through a method arranged with the office.
Requests and communications preferences
Requests to review, correct or delete personal information, or to change communication preferences, may be submitted by email or telephone below. The office may need to verify identity before acting. Applicable law, professional obligations, third-party rights or the need to preserve records may limit a request. Rights available under applicable law are not restricted by this policy.
Changes and contact information
Policy updates will be posted in this section with a revised effective date. Material changes will also be identified in a notice on the website or through direct notice where required. A policy update does not create new SMS consent.
