Privacy Policy

Effective date: Sept 25, 2026

Niki Tran, APC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates nikitranesq.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and disclose information when you visit our website or contact us through it.

This policy covers our website and initial inquiries. Our legal and professional obligations concerning client and prospective-client information continue to apply.

Information You Provide

When you submit our contact form, we collect the information you provide, including your name, telephone number, email address, and message. If you communicate with us by email or telephone, we also receive information you provide during those communications.

We use inquiry information to respond to your questions, arrange callbacks, and discuss whether we may be able to assist you. We do not use contact-form submissions for newsletters or marketing outreach.

Please provide only your contact information and a brief, non-confidential description of the assistance you need. Do not submit confidential details, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, passwords, sensitive documents, or other sensitive information through the website contact form. If additional information is needed, we will explain how to provide it.

Submitting a form or contacting us does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Nothing in this policy waives confidentiality protections that apply under law or professional rules.

Information Collected Automatically

Our website platform and analytics or advertising providers may automatically collect information about your device and website activity, including:

  • IP address and approximate location derived from it;

  • Browser, device, and operating-system information;

  • Pages visited, referring websites, and visit dates and times;

  • Clicks, scrolling, navigation, and other website interactions; and

  • Cookie identifiers, advertising identifiers, and similar technical information.

The information collected varies by provider, settings, and features in use. Cookies and similar technologies may recognize a browser across visits.

We use website information to operate and maintain the site, understand visitor activity, improve usability, measure advertising effectiveness, and identify technical issues or misuse.

Squarespace and Contact-Form Storage

Our website is hosted by Squarespace. Contact-form submissions are stored in Squarespace, and a copy is delivered to our firm’s Gmail inbox. Squarespace and Google process this information as part of providing website, storage, and email services.

Squarespace also processes technical information associated with website visits and provides website analytics and functionality.

For more information, see Squarespace’s Privacy Policy and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics and Google Ads

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic and visitor activity. We also use Google Ads and associated measurement technologies to advertise our services and understand interactions with our advertising and website.

These services may use cookies or similar technologies and receive information such as the page visited, IP address, device information, and browser identifiers. Depending on applicable settings, Google may associate website activity with other information it holds and use information for advertising measurement or personalization.

For more information, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Our use of website advertising tools is separate from our use of contact-form information to respond to inquiries.

Hotjar

We use Hotjar, a Contentsquare service, to understand how visitors interact with our website through tools such as heatmaps and session recordings. These tools represent interactions such as clicks, scrolling, and navigation through pages.

We configure Hotjar to suppress form-input data before it is transmitted to or stored by Hotjar. Hotjar may still collect website-interaction and device information through cookies and similar technologies. Input suppression does not mean that all website activity is anonymous or that no technical information is collected.

For more information, see Hotjar’s privacy information.

When Information Is Disclosed

Information may be processed by providers supporting our website, form storage, email, analytics, advertising measurement, and related operations, including Squarespace, Google, and Hotjar/Contentsquare.

Third-party analytics and advertising providers may collect information about online activities over time and across different websites. Their processing is subject to their applicable terms, privacy policies, and settings.

We may also disclose information when permitted or required by law, including to comply with valid legal obligations, protect against fraud or security threats, or protect legal rights. Disclosures of protected client or prospective-client information remain subject to applicable confidentiality and professional obligations.

Cookies and Privacy Choices

You can use your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies may affect website functionality and does not necessarily prevent every form of technical data collection.

Google provides additional controls:

If you prefer not to submit information through the website form, you may call us at 619-604-9077.

Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers transmit privacy preferences, such as Do Not Track (DNT) or Global Privacy Control (GPC). These signals have different purposes and do not necessarily disable all website analytics or data collection. Individual services used on our website may respond to these signals according to their own settings and practices.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings and use the Google privacy controls linked above. These controls have different effects and may not prevent all data collection. Hotjar’s form-input masking operates separately from browser privacy signals.

Information Retention

Retention periods vary depending on the information, its purpose, the systems in which it is stored, and applicable legal or professional obligations. Inquiry records may be retained in Squarespace and our email system. Website analytics and advertising information are subject to the relevant providers’ retention settings and practices.

You may contact us to ask about retention or request deletion. Some information may need to be retained for legal, professional, recordkeeping, or dispute-related reasons. Deletion from active systems may not immediately remove backup copies.

Privacy Questions and Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you have provided. We will evaluate requests under applicable law and our professional obligations. We may need to verify your identity before providing information or acting on a request.

Privacy rights vary depending on your location and which laws apply. This policy does not limit rights available to you under applicable law.

Please do not include confidential matter details or sensitive identification numbers in an initial privacy request.

Security

Internet transmissions and electronic storage cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please limit website submissions to the information needed for an initial inquiry and follow our instructions when providing additional information.

External Links

Our website contains links to third-party websites, including review platforms. If you follow those links, the other website’s privacy practices apply. We do not control those websites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update its effective date. For material changes, we will also provide a prominent website notice or other notice when required by applicable law.
