Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 11, 2026
Dobson & Vines, PLLC (“Dobson & Vines,” “the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our public website at https://dobsonvines.com (the “Site”), how we use and protect it, and the choices and rights you have. Please read it carefully. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this Policy.
This Policy applies only to information collected through the Site. It does not apply to information you provide to us in the course of an attorney-client relationship, which is governed by our professional and ethical obligations, including the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and by the separate Client Privacy Policy at the end of this page.
Scope
The Site is intended for users located in the United States and is not directed to individuals in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom. We do not knowingly market our services to, or solicit information from, individuals outside the United States through this Site.
Information We Collect Automatically
As with most websites, when you visit the Site to browse, read, or download information, your web browser automatically sends us certain information that we may retain, such as:
- the Internet domain and Internet Protocol (IP) address through which you access the Internet;
- the type of browser and operating system you use;
- the date and time you access the Site;
- the website from which you linked to the Site; and
- the pages you visit, how long you remain on the Site, page response times, and what you click on.
We use this information in aggregate form to maintain and secure the Site, confirm it is functioning properly, and make it more useful and accessible. We do not use this information to identify individual visitors except as needed for Site security or to comply with the law.
We do not collect personally identifying information about you when you simply visit the Site, unless you choose to provide it.
Information You Provide to Us
If you contact us through an online form, by email, by telephone, or by mail, we collect the information you choose to provide, which may include your name, address, email address, telephone number, and the contents of your message.
We use this information to respond to your inquiry, to provide the information or assistance you request, and, where appropriate, to follow up with you. We do not sell this information (see “Your Privacy Choices and Rights” below), and we do not disclose it to third parties except as described in this Policy.
Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through the Site. Submitting information through the Site, or contacting us, does not create an attorney-client relationship. Do not send us confidential details about a legal matter until we have agreed in writing to represent you and have confirmed that no conflict of interest exists.
How We Use and Share Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve the Site; to respond to your inquiries; to communicate with you; and to meet our legal and ethical obligations.
We share personal information only in the following limited circumstances:
- Service providers. We use a small number of trusted service providers that process information on our behalf and under our instructions. The primary example is Google reCAPTCHA, which helps protect our forms from spam and abuse (see “Service Providers and Third Parties” below). Where you ask us to refer your matter or fulfill a request that requires it, we may share your information with third parties we reasonably determine are appropriate to do so; if you tell us not to share your information, we will honor that request, though we may then be unable to fulfill the request.
- Legal and safety purposes. We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a governmental request; to cooperate with law enforcement; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, prospective clients, the Site, or others. If your communication relates to a law enforcement matter, we may disclose it to the appropriate authorities.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising.
Service Providers and Third Parties
Google reCAPTCHA. Our contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect against spam and automated abuse. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information (such as device and application data) and sends it to Google to assess whether you are a human. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Google acts as our service provider for this limited purpose and processes the data on our behalf.
Google Fonts. The Site loads certain fonts hosted by Google, which may involve a request to Google’s servers to deliver those fonts.
Other websites. The Site may link to websites we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
Cookies
We may use cookies to recognize return visitors and to help the Site function. The cookies we set are not required to use the Site, and you may decline or delete cookies through your browser settings without losing access to the Site.
Our spam-protection provider (Google reCAPTCHA) may set cookies on your browser in connection with its fraud-prevention service. Some third-party features may also set cookies depending on their configuration.
Analytics
We do not currently use a web analytics service on the Site.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
We do not sell or share your personal information for money or for targeted advertising.
Several states have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws, including California (the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act), as well as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon, and others. Although the Site is a small law-firm marketing site that likely falls below the thresholds that make these laws mandatory for us, we honor the following rights regardless of where you live, to the extent they apply and subject to verification of your identity and to our legal and ethical obligations:
- Access. The right to know what personal information we hold about you.
- Correction. The right to ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Deletion. The right to ask us to delete personal information we have collected from you.
- Portability. The right to obtain a copy of the personal information you have provided in a usable format.
- Opt-out. The right to opt out of the sale of personal information, the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising, and profiling. Because we do not engage in any of these activities, there is nothing for you to opt out of.
- Non-discrimination. We will not deny you services, charge you a different price, or provide a different level of service because you exercised any of these rights.
Some of the information we hold may be exempt from these rights, for example because it is subject to our professional confidentiality obligations or because we must retain it to comply with the law.
How to exercise your rights. To make a request, contact us using the information in the “How to Contact Us” section below. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, and an authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf with proof of authorization.
Opt-Out Preference Signals (Global Privacy Control)
Some browsers and extensions can send an opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), that tells websites you do not want your personal information sold or shared for targeted advertising. Because we do not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising, there is nothing to opt out of; however, we will treat any such opt-out preference signal as a valid request consistent with applicable law.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen (13) years of age, consistent with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you are under eighteen (18), please use the Site only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it. We do not use any personal information for targeted advertising directed at minors.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to respond to and follow up on your inquiry, and to meet our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we delete it or render it anonymous, except where a longer retention period is required by law or our professional responsibilities.
Security
Any information you provide is treated with care and discretion, and we take reasonable measures to protect it. Please be aware, however, that no transmission of information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Electronic communication, particularly email, is not necessarily secure against interception. Please do not send sensitive data (such as Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers) by email or web form. While we make reasonable efforts to protect information we receive, we cannot warrant the security of information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. We are not liable for disclosures resulting from errors in transmission or the unauthorized acts of third parties.
Monitoring and Legal Requests
We are not obligated to monitor the Site or its use or to retain the content of any user session. We reserve the right, however, to monitor, review, retain, and disclose information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to cooperate with law enforcement in investigating a claim of unlawful activity. We may use IP addresses to identify a user when we believe it is necessary to protect the Site, our clients, prospective clients, or others.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective Date” above and post the updated Policy on this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically. Material changes will take effect when posted.

Client Privacy Policy
The following section applies to information we receive in the course of an attorney-client relationship.
Privacy Policy Notice: We value our clients’ privacy and attempt to protect the confidentiality of the personal information clients have given us to the extent practicable. Under federal law, attorneys, like other professionals who advise clients on personal financial matters, are required to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. In addition to the document security measures described above, we are bound by professional standards of confidentiality found in Rule 1.6 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct adopted by the Arkansas Supreme Court, which are even more stringent than those required by federal law. Non-lawyer assistants we engage to assist us on matters, and who work under our supervision, are likewise bound and as noted above, are required to review, confirm their understanding of, and adhere to our office’s policies regarding ethics, confidentiality and privilege.
In the course of providing our clients legal advice, we may receive significant nonpublic personal financial information from our clients. All information that we receive from you is held in confidence and is not released to people outside of our supervision, except as agreed to by you, or as required under an applicable law or under the Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your personal needs and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard your privacy, we restrict access to nonpublic personal information only to those who need to know that information to provide services to you or on your behalf.
