Data Retention Notice

Default retention periods and deletion controls for website intake and limited security records.

Prospective-client intake records

Contact and case-review submissions receive a default 90-day retention deadline. The firm may delete them earlier or retain them longer when representation is accepted, a conflict record must be preserved, a legal hold applies, the prospective client requests continued contact, or professional and legal obligations require a different period.

Only authorized administrative users may list, change the review status of, or delete prospective-client records through the site's protected governance procedures.

Ask Atlas and security controls

The current public Ask Atlas tool does not retain visitor question-and-answer content and does not create a conversation history. Privacy-preserving rate-limit counters expire after their operational window plus a short cleanup period.

Protected deletion and expiration-purge operations remain available for legacy records and other covered website records. The application also performs opportunistic cleanup during normal traffic.

Deletion requests

To ask about a website record, call (630) 394-6350. The firm may need enough information to locate and authenticate the request. Deletion may be limited by professional obligations, conflict controls, legal holds, or applicable law.
