This policy explains what personal information Oram Law collects when you use
oram.law, why we collect it, who else can receive it, and the choices
you have. It also lists every cookie and tracking technology on the site, and how to switch them on
or off at any time.
We have written this in plain English on purpose. If anything here is unclear, email
office@oram.law and we will explain it.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us. When you fill in a form on this site, book a call, or
email or telephone us, we collect what you choose to tell us: typically your name, email address,
telephone number, and whatever you write in your message. We only ask for what we need in order to
reply to you.
Please do not send confidential details about your legal matter through a website
form. A web form is not a secure or private channel, and sending one does not create a
relationship between you and the firm. Tell us enough to arrange a conversation, and keep the detail
for that conversation.
Information collected automatically, but only if you agree. If you accept the
Statistics category on our cookie banner, our analytics tools record your IP address, the approximate
location it suggests, your device and browser, the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, the
links you click, and how long you stay. We treat all of that as personal information, including your
IP address and the identifiers stored in cookies, because it can be linked back to you or to your
device.
We use a session-replay tool, and we want you to know that before you agree to it.
One of our statistics tools, Microsoft Clarity, records a playback of how visitors move through the
site: mouse movement, clicks, scrolling and which parts of a page hold attention. It is set to hide
what you type into form fields, so it does not capture the content of your messages to us. Like
everything else in the Statistics category, it does not run at all unless you accept
it, and you can withdraw that at any time.
Information from working with us. If you become a client, we hold the contact,
matter and billing information needed to act for you and to invoice you. Information you give us as a
client is confidential and is protected by the professional obligations that apply to lawyers in
Florida.
2. Why we use it
- To answer your inquiry and to arrange or provide the legal services you have asked about.
- To act for you if you become a client, and to keep proper records of that work.
- To understand how the site is used, so we can improve it.
- To measure whether our own advertising works, so we know which advertising to keep paying
for. - To keep the site secure and to stop spam and abuse.
- To meet our legal, professional, tax and accounting obligations.
3. Consent, and how we handle tracking
This is the part most website policies get wrong, so we want to be plain about it.
Nothing in the Statistics or Marketing categories runs until you say yes. When you
first arrive, only the strictly necessary items load. Every analytics tool, and every embedded map,
is held back, inert, until you make a choice on the cookie banner. This applies to every visitor,
wherever you are, not only to visitors from places where the law demands it. A banner that appears
while the tracking runs behind it is worth nothing, and we have deliberately not built one of
those.
Two things do load before you choose, and neither one tracks you. Our booking
badge, provided by Calendly, and our reviews panel, provided by Trustindex, load with the page so
that you can book a call or read our reviews without having to accept anything first. Neither sets a
cookie and neither stores anything in your browser. Because their files are served from their own
systems, those companies do see your IP address when the page loads. If you go on to open the booking
window and schedule a call, Calendly then sets its own cookies to run the booking, which is described
in their privacy policy.
You can change your mind at any time. A Manage cookies button sits in the
bottom-left corner of every page. Open it to turn categories on or off, or to withdraw consent
entirely. Withdrawing is exactly as easy as giving it.
We keep a record of your choice. When you decide, we store the date and time,
which categories you agreed to, which version of this policy was in force, and the page you were on.
That record is tied to a random reference generated in your browser. It contains no name, no
email address and no IP address, and we cannot use it to work out who you are. We keep it so
we can show, if we are ever asked, that consent was properly obtained.
Your choice is remembered in a cookie called gi_consent for 12 months, after which we
ask again. Clearing your browser cookies clears it too, and the banner will reappear.
4. Who else can receive it
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else’s
advertising. We want to be straight with you about what does happen instead.
If you accept Statistics, two companies receive information about your visit:
Google, which provides our website statistics, and Microsoft, which
provides the session-replay tool described in section 1. If you accept Marketing, Google also
receives a signal that lets us measure whether our advertising brought you here, and any map embedded
in a page is allowed to load from Google Maps. If you decline, none of that happens.
Separately, we use trusted suppliers who handle information strictly on our behalf and on our
instructions: our website host, our email provider, our booking system, and the marketing agency that
maintains this website. They are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes. We can
tell you who they are on request.
We may also disclose information where the law or our professional obligations require or permit
it, or to establish or defend our legal rights.
5. How long we keep it
- Inquiries that do not become a matter: kept indefinitely.
- Client files and records: kept indefinitely.
- Consent records: at least 24 months from the date of the decision, and for as long as we need to demonstrate compliance.
- Analytics data: for the retention period set by the provider. Where we can
choose, we set the shortest option that still gives us useful reporting.
As a matter of firm practice, Oram Law does not delete its records.
6. Your choices and your rights
Whether or not any particular privacy law applies to a firm our size, we will honor these requests
from anyone who asks. You can ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you, and give you a copy;
- correct anything that is wrong or out of date;
- delete information we no longer have a good reason to keep;
- stop sending you email that is not about a matter we are handling for you;
- stop using your information to measure our advertising.
Email office@oram.law. We will respond within 45 days, at no charge. We may need to confirm who you are first. Some information we are required to
keep, or cannot release, because of our professional obligations or because releasing it would reveal
information about someone else. If that applies, we will tell you why.
You can also change your cookie choices at any time with the Manage cookies button, and
control cookies through your browser settings (see Part 2).
7. How we protect it
Personal information is protected by safeguards appropriate to how sensitive it is. The site runs
over an encrypted connection, access to our systems is limited to people who need it, and we take all
reasonable precautions against loss, misuse and unauthorized access. No website can promise perfect
security, and if something goes wrong that affects you, we will tell you promptly.
8. Children
This site is aimed at adults seeking legal services and is not directed at children. We do not
knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us
information, email us and we will delete it.
9. Other websites
This site links to other websites that this policy does not cover. Once you leave our site this
policy stops applying, and we are not responsible for how those sites handle your information. We
suggest you read their privacy statements.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use your
information or which trackers we run, we will ask for your cookie choices again rather than relying
on consent you gave to an older version.

Part 2 — Cookies and similar technologies
What these are
A cookie is a small file stored on your device when you visit a website. We also use technologies
that do the same job: scripts that store data in your browser, and embedded content such as maps that
set their own cookies the moment they load. Where this policy says “cookies”, it means all of
these.
The three categories
The banner groups everything into three categories. The first is always on, because the site
cannot work without it. The other two are off until you turn them on.
Strictly necessary — always on
Needed for the site to work, to keep it secure, and to remember your cookie choice. These are not
used for tracking or advertising and cannot be switched off.
| What | Provided by | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| gi_consent | Oram Law | Remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again on every page. | 12 months |
| WordPress session and security cookies | Oram Law | Keep forms secure against tampering, and keep site administrators signed in. | Session to 12 months |
| Hosting and security | SiteGround | Keeps the site online and blocks automated attacks on the login page. | Session |
Functional content that loads with the page
These two are not cookies and are not tracking, but they are supplied by other companies, so we
list them here rather than leave them unmentioned.
| What | Provided by | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Booking badge | Calendly | Shows the “Schedule a Free Call” button and opens the booking window when you click it. It sets no cookie until you open the booking window and use it. |
| Reviews panel | Trustindex | Displays our Google reviews. It sets no cookie and stores nothing in your browser. |
Statistics — off until you agree
These help us understand how the site is used, so we can improve it: which pages get read, where
visitors come from, and where they give up.
| What | Provided by | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Traffic and behavior reporting: which pages are visited, from where, and for how long. | |
| Microsoft Clarity | Microsoft | Records a playback of how visitors move through the site, and heat maps of where people click and how far they scroll. It is set to hide what you type into form fields. |
| Goal tracking | Oram Law | Records on our own site that a button or form was used, and passes that to Google Analytics as an event. |
Marketing — off until you agree
We do not run advertising pixels on this site, and no advertising network is given your details to
build a profile of you. This category covers the two things that would otherwise happen quietly.
| What | Provided by | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising measurement | Tells Google whether a visit that arrived from one of our ads went on to contact us, so we can tell which advertising is worth paying for. | |
| Embedded maps | Google Maps | Shows the interactive map of our office. A map sets its own cookies as soon as it loads, so we hold it back and show a click-to-load placeholder until you agree. |
Changing your choices
Use the Manage cookies button at the bottom-left of any page. You can switch Statistics
and Marketing on or off separately, and the change takes effect immediately.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings, which let you block cookies, delete
the ones already stored, or warn you before one is set. Most browsers accept cookies by default.
Remember that browser settings apply to every site you visit, not only ours, and that blocking the
strictly necessary cookies will stop parts of this site working, including our contact form and our
ability to remember that you asked us not to track you.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We hold all tracking back until you consent, so every visitor starts out opted out by default.
That is a stronger protection than a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control browser signal would give
you here, and it applies whether or not your browser sends one.
