Last updated: 2/22/26

Hinders, Updegraff & Franklin, P.L.C. (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates www.hinderslaw.com and www.hinderslawplc.com. By using our websites, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

What we collect

We collect information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your message when you contact us. We also collect limited technical data (like IP address and pages visited) through tools such as Google Analytics to understand how our sites are used.

How we use your information

We use this information to:

Respond to inquiries and schedule consultations.
Operate, maintain, and improve our websites, including security and performance.
Comply with legal, ethical, and record‑keeping obligations.

Contacting us through the websites does not create an attorney‑client relationship. Do not send confidential information until we have agreed to represent you.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers (such as Squarespace for hosting, Microsoft 365 for email, IT/security providers including VC3, and payment processors such as LawPay if enabled) and with professional advisors or authorities when required by law or necessary to protect our rights or clients.

Cookies and analytics

Our sites use cookies and similar technologies to support basic functionality and analytics. Google Analytics helps us understand site usage and may collect information such as your IP address and pages visited. You can adjust cookie settings in your browser; some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.

Security and retention

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect information we collect, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above and our legal and ethical obligations.

Children’s privacy and geography

Our websites are not directed to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. We primarily serve clients in Iowa (and some in nearby jurisdictions such as Illinois) and do not specifically target users in the EU/UK or California.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted with an updated “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the sites after changes are posted means you accept the revised Policy.
