Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 4, 2026
J1WaiverLaw.com is operated by The Messersmith Law Firm, P.A.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you
use this website or contact the firm through the website.
Information You Submit
The contact form may collect your name, email address, optional
telephone number, the general topic of your inquiry, and the
message you choose to send. You may also choose to upload PDF,
DOC, DOCX, JPG, or JPEG files with your inquiry.
Please do not submit Social Security numbers, passport numbers,
A-numbers, payment information, or other highly sensitive
personal information through the initial contact form.
How We Use Contact Information
Information submitted through the contact form is used to
receive and respond to your inquiry, evaluate the assistance
you are requesting, communicate with you, operate the website,
and protect the website and contact system from misuse.
Submitting the form does not create an attorney-client
relationship. The firm must first confirm that it can accept
the matter.
Attachments
Uploaded files are copied to a temporary private directory on
the web server, attached to the contact-form email, and deleted
from the web server immediately after the email send attempt.
Copies transmitted with the email may remain within the firm’s
email systems and normal backups until deleted in accordance
with ordinary business, legal, or security needs.
Security and Spam Prevention
The website uses security and abuse-prevention tools, including
Cloudflare Turnstile and Wordfence. These services may process
technical information such as IP address, browser or device
information, and request activity when necessary to verify
legitimate use, prevent spam, detect malicious traffic, and
protect the website.
Email Delivery and Service Providers
Contact-form submissions are transmitted by email. Hosting,
security, email-delivery, and other service providers used to
operate the website may process information only as necessary
to provide those services, maintain security, or comply with
applicable legal obligations.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
WordPress and services used to secure or operate the website
may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for
website functionality, security, fraud prevention, or session
management. Third-party services may apply their own privacy
practices to information they process.
Retention
The website does not retain uploaded contact-form files on the
web server after the email send attempt. Contact messages and
copies of transmitted attachments may remain in the firm’s
email systems, backups, or business records for as long as
reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, maintain
records, protect legal rights, comply with legal obligations,
or maintain system security.
Disclosure of Information
Information may be disclosed to service providers that support
the website, security, or email delivery, or when disclosure is
reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, court
order, professional obligations, or to protect the rights,
security, and integrity of the firm, its clients, users, or
systems.
Your Choices
You may contact the firm to ask about personal information you
previously submitted through this website or to request
correction or deletion where appropriate. Some information may
need to be retained when required by law, professional
obligations, security needs, or legitimate recordkeeping
requirements.
