Draft — attorney review required before publication. This operational notice is prepared for Atlas Law Center's review and does not itself provide legal advice to site visitors.

Last updated: September 4, 2026

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 records

Ask Atlas question-and-answer content is retained for quality review only when the visitor opts in, with a default 30-day expiration. Privacy-preserving rate-limit counters expire after their operational window plus a short cleanup period.

The application provides protected deletion and expiration-purge operations. It also performs opportunistic cleanup during normal traffic. A production scheduled cleanup can be activated after deployment.

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.
