Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Stuart & Ward LLP collects through stuartwardlaw.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only, not to information you provide to us as a client through other means.
Last updated: September 1, 2026
Before You Send Us Anything
Submitting the consultation form on this website does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship with Stuart & Ward LLP is formed only through a written agreement between the firm and the client.
Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through this website. Information you send before we have agreed to represent you may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege, and we may already represent another party in the same matter. If your matter is urgent, call us at (303) 832-8888.
Information We Collect
Information you give us
When you complete the consultation form, we collect the name, email address, phone number, practice area selection, and message you provide. We collect only what you choose to enter.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our web server records standard technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information is generated by the server and is not something you enter.
What we do not collect
We do not sell personal information. We do not collect Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or government identification numbers through this website. Payments made through our online payment portal are handled by a third-party provider, and we do not receive or store your full card details.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you submit to respond to your inquiry, evaluate whether we are able to assist with your matter, check for conflicts of interest, and communicate with you about your request. We use automatically collected technical information to operate and secure the website and to understand which pages visitors find useful.
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
When We Share Information
We share personal information only in these circumstances:
Service providers. We use third parties to operate the site and deliver email, including our web hosting provider, our transactional email service, and our practice management and payment platform. These providers process information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
Legal requirements. We may disclose information where required by law, court order, subpoena, or the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, or where necessary to establish or defend legal claims.
Professional obligations. Information you provide as a client is governed by our duty of confidentiality under Colo. RPC 1.6, which is broader than this policy and takes precedence for client information.
Cookies and Analytics
This website uses cookies that are necessary for it to function, including cookies set by our content management system and page builder. These do not track you across other websites.
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed and how visitors arrive. Analytics data is aggregated and is not used to identify individual visitors. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may affect how parts of this site work.
We do not respond to browser Do Not Track signals, as there is currently no common standard for how to interpret them.
Retention and Security
We retain consultation inquiries for as long as needed to respond and to maintain our conflict-of-interest records, and longer where a professional or legal obligation requires it. Client files are retained according to our file retention practices and applicable rules.
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information submitted through this site. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. This is another reason not to send sensitive details through the form.
Your Choices
You may ask us to confirm what personal information we hold about you, correct inaccurate information, or delete information we are not required to keep. Colorado residents may have additional rights under the Colorado Privacy Act depending on the circumstances. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
Requests to delete information are subject to our professional obligations. We cannot delete records we are required to retain under the Rules of Professional Conduct or other law.
Other Terms
Children. This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.
Links to other sites. This site links to third-party websites, including ranking and directory profiles and our payment portal. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
Attorney advertising. Content on this website may be considered attorney advertising under the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
Changes to this policy. We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
