Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Partitionaction.com, we are committed to protecting your privacy and maintaining your trust. Your privacy is fundamental to our relationship with you, and we take our responsibility to safeguard your personal information seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website, contact our firm, or engage us to provide legal services.

This Privacy Policy applies to all current, former, and prospective clients, as well as website visitors. By accessing our website or providing information to us, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Legal Framework

As a law firm, Partitionaction.com is subject to strict professional and ethical obligations regarding client confidentiality. Our privacy practices are governed by:
