Privacy
Written to describe what this website actually does today, not what a template says a website might do.
What this website collects
Public pages on this website do not set cookies, run analytics, embed third-party scripts or trackers, or use advertising or social media pixels. A private invitation-only questionnaire uses one strictly necessary Secure, HttpOnly session cookie after a valid invitation link is exchanged. The site otherwise loads only files served from this domain.
Like any website, it is served by a hosting provider that keeps standard technical server logs, which may include an IP address, the page requested, a timestamp, and a browser user agent. Those logs exist for delivery and security and are handled by the hosting provider.
Website contact requests
The homepage and the real estate page each include a short contact-request form. Both ask for your name, at least one contact method, preferred contact method, broad matter category, county and state, names of known opposing parties, deadline status, and a high-level non-confidential summary limited to 400 characters. Employment inquiries may also ask whether you are an employee, employer or business, or are unsure.
The real estate form submits a fixed matter category and adds four screening answers chosen from fixed lists: the type of real estate matter, the property type, where the matter stands, and an optional approximate value band. The value band is optional, is a range rather than a figure, and is used only to screen the request before a call. Neither form accepts documents, file uploads, account numbers, or record files, and the server rejects any field it does not expect.
When you submit the form, your answers are sent over HTTPS to a same-origin serverless relay. The relay validates the request and forwards it to a private law-firm intake channel available to Anthony and authorized law-firm personnel. The Telegram Bot API is used as the delivery service. The browser never receives the bot credential or internal destination identifiers.
The relay does not use Netlify Forms and does not intentionally store the full submission in a website database. Netlify and Telegram process information as service providers to deliver and secure the request, and each may maintain technical or service records under its own policies. Redacted operational logs may record a request identifier, time, delivery status, broad matter category, urgency status, and whether contact fields were present, but not the submitted name, contact details, opposing-party names, or summary.
Website intake messages are used for conflict screening, deadline review, evaluating the request, responding, preventing abuse, and meeting legal or professional obligations. If no representation begins, the full intake message should be removed from the active intake channel when it is no longer reasonably needed, ordinarily within 90 days. Limited conflict-screening or compliance information may be retained longer when reasonably necessary.
To ask about, correct, or request deletion of a website contact request, email aj@anthonyjones.org. A deletion request may be limited by legal, ethical, security, conflict-screening, or record-preservation obligations.
Private premarital-agreement questionnaire
If Anthony separately sends you a private premarital-agreement questionnaire link, that link is for the intended recipient only and should not be forwarded. The questionnaire asks for more detailed conflict, timing, family, financial-disclosure, objective, document-availability, and process information than the public contact form. It does not accept uploads and instructs users not to include Social Security numbers, passwords, private keys, security codes, full account numbers, complete card numbers, or document files.
The private questionnaire uses same-origin serverless handlers, an invitation/session check, server-side validation, and strong-consistency protected storage. Questionnaire answers and the automatic attorney-review draft artifact are hybrid-encrypted before storage; only the public encryption key is available to the website. Anthony may receive a separate reference-only email notification that a submission arrived. That notice is designed not to include names, contact information, future-spouse information, financial facts, summaries, tokens, encrypted payloads, or draft text. The automatic draft artifact is for Anthony's review only; it is not client-ready and is never sent to a client automatically.
The private questionnaire is used for conflict screening, engagement and deadline review, financial-disclosure organization, drafting preparation, preventing abuse, and meeting legal or professional obligations. Retention and deletion may be limited by legal, ethical, security, conflict-screening, record-preservation, or malpractice-defense obligations.
Information you send by phone or email
If you call or email, Anthony receives what you send through the phone or email provider you used. Email is not a secure channel. Please do not send confidential, privileged, or sensitive information by email before representation has been confirmed in writing.
Information sent before representation is confirmed is handled carefully, but you should not assume that an initial contact is privileged or confidential. Keep the first message brief and non-confidential.
Information from existing clients
When sensitive material is needed for an active matter, Anthony identifies the approved method for providing it. This public website has no client sign-in, public upload, or document-submission route.
What is never asked for here
- Social Security numbers and full dates of birth
- Government identification numbers or images
- Medical-record or financial-record uploads and document files
- File uploads of any kind
- Payment or card details
Children
This website is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from them.

If how this website handles information changes, this page changes with it before the new behavior goes live.
