Personal Information Provided by Consent
We does not collect individual identifiable data from users on our website unless you have chosen to provide it to us either via an electronic form or email. All information is kept strictly confidential. There are a number of ways we collect your information on our website. You provide personal information when:
- Sending an Email

- Other Possible Forms of Online Communication
By using any of these services, you automatically consent to the collection and use of your personal information by Walker Head as described in this policy. It is important to note that you may withdraw your consent at any time simply by emailing us. If you do not give consent, or you later withdraw it, you may not be able to receive certain services that rely on the collection and use of personal information.
Safeguards
Walker Head uses various administrative and technological safeguards to ensure that your personal information is protected against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying or alteration. These include: security of our physical premises; our professional obligations; security software and firewalls to prevent unauthorized computer access or “hacking”; and internal passwords that restrict access to our electronic files.
IP Addresses & Website Traffic
When you visit our website, we collect some basic statistical information that does not identify you as an individual user. This includes the amount of traffic visiting the site, which pages are visited and for how long, which search engines the visitors are using to get to our site, and what ISP they are using. We use the information we collect to improve the quality of our web site, enhance or tailor the information we offer, and make your experience on our site as valuable and efficient as possible. None of this information is ever disclosed to third parties. It is kept strictly confidential.
Communications
You should be aware that e-mail is not a 100% secure medium, and you should be aware of this when contacting us to send personal or confidential information.
Disclosure Of Your Personal Information
Under certain circumstances, Walker Head will disclose your personal information: when we are required or authorized by law to do so, for example where required by statute or a court; when you have consented to the disclosure; when the legal services we are providing to you require us to give your information to third parties your consent will be implied unless you tell us otherwise; where it is necessary to establish or collect fees; if we engage expert witnesses on your behalf; if we retain other law firms in other jurisdictions, on your behalf; if the information is already publicly known.
Third Party Links & Websites
From time to time Walker Head will provide links to third parties as a courtesy to our visitors. They may have privacy policies that differ from our own. We encourage you to review any privacy policies or notices posted by those service providers.
Privacy Policy Modifications
Walker Head may update its privacy policy from time to time. Such changes will be posted on this page. So that you are always aware of what information we collect and how we use it, we recommend that you review this page regularly. Our commitment to confidentiality and adherence to federal law will remain.
