When you submit the contact form on this website, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, company or organization, email address, telephone number, and a description of your matter. Our website hosting and form-processing provider may also automatically collect limited technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, and general access data.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information you submit solely to review and respond to your consultation request, including to evaluate whether we are able to assist with your matter and to schedule a consultation. We do not use your information for marketing, and we do not sell or rent your information to third parties.

Your Rights
You may contact us to ask what information we hold about you, request that it be corrected, or request that it be deleted, subject to our recordkeeping obligations. To make a request, email john@jskcounsel.com.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information collected. However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
