Last updated: February 23, 2026

Woodruff Johnson Evans and Haugen (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it in accordance with applicable law, including the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (“PIPA”).

This Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit woodrufflawyers.com (the “Website”) or use related services (collectively, the “Services”).

1. Acceptance of This Policy

By accessing or using the Website or Services, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Website or Services.

Use of the Website, including submission of information through contact forms or email links, does not create an attorney‑client relationship. Information submitted through the Website may not be confidential or privileged unless and until an attorney‑client relationship has been formally established in writing.

If you use the Website on behalf of a business or legal entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to this Policy.

2. Information We Collect

Automatic Information

When you access the Website, we may automatically collect aggregated, non‑identifying information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring pages, and access times. This information is used for security monitoring and Website analytics.

Personal Information

You may voluntarily provide Personal Information that can reasonably be used to identify you when you contact us or request information. You should not submit sensitive personal information, including Social Security numbers, medical information, financial account information, or biometric identifiers, through the Website.

We do not knowingly collect biometric information as defined by the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14/.

3. Use of Information

We may use information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Website and Services
• Respond to inquiries and communications
• Provide administrative or service‑related information
• Comply with legal and ethical obligations

Information is processed based on consent, contractual necessity, legal requirements, or legitimate business interests, as applicable. This Policy is intended to comply with Illinois law and does not create rights beyond those provided by applicable statutes.

4. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell Personal Information.

We may disclose information to trusted service providers who assist with Website operations, subject to confidentiality and reasonable security obligations consistent with Illinois law.

We may also disclose information if required by law or if necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of others.

5. Data Retention

We retain Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy or to comply with legal obligations. Information is then securely deleted or rendered unusable.

6. Analytics and Cookies

We may use third‑party analytics tools that collect aggregated, non‑identifying usage information through cookies or similar technologies to evaluate Website performance. Analytics data is not linked to individual users.

7. Privacy of Children

The Website is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will delete it promptly.

8. Do Not Track Signals

The Website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals due to the absence of a uniform industry standard.

9. Information Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information to protect Personal Information, consistent with the requirements of the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.

10. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a breach involving Personal Information of Illinois residents, we will provide notice in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, and will notify the Illinois Attorney General when required by law, in accordance with 815 ILCS 530/.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy at any time. Changes are effective upon posting. Continued use of the Website constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.

12. Governing Law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict‑of‑law principles.
