PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: August 1, 2026
Title IX Defense Group (“Title IX Defense Group,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to explaining clearly how information may be collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you visit TitleIXDefenseLawyers.com (the “Website”), contact us, use our forms or other interactive features, or otherwise communicate with us.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Website or voluntarily submitting information through it, you acknowledge the practices described below.
1. About This Website
Title IX Defense Group is a nationwide resource for individuals and families seeking information and assistance concerning Title IX investigations, disciplinary proceedings, hearings, appeals, and related matters. The Website provides educational resources concerning the Title IX process and helps individuals seeking legal assistance connect with licensed attorneys experienced in Title IX defense. The information provided on this Website is intended for general educational and informational purposes and should not be considered legal advice. Legal representation is provided only by independently licensed Title IX defense attorneys, subject to attorney availability, jurisdiction, conflicts review, and acceptance of representation.
Title IX Defense Group operates the Website and facilitates connections between individuals seeking assistance and attorneys who may be able to evaluate their matters. Title IX Defense Group itself does not independently provide legal representation or establish an attorney-client relationship through use of this Website. Certain legal content appearing on the Website is reviewed by a licensed attorney for legal accuracy and informational quality.
2. Information We May Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including when you:
- Submit a contact or consultation form;
- Request information about Title IX representation;
- Communicate with us by telephone, email, text message, chat, or another communication method;
- Use an eligibility, qualification, or assessment tool;
- Provide information concerning a university, investigation, hearing, appeal, disciplinary proceeding, or other Title IX matter.
Information you provide may include your name, telephone number, email address, university or educational institution, state or location, and information concerning the circumstances for which you are seeking assistance.
Because Title IX matters can involve highly sensitive circumstances, we encourage you not to submit information through the Website that is unnecessary for the initial evaluation of your inquiry.
3. Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Website, certain information may be collected automatically through server logs, cookies, analytics technologies, advertising technologies, and similar tools.
This information may include your:
- IP address;
- Browser and device type;
- Operating system;
- Approximate geographic location;
- Referring website or source;
- Pages viewed;
- Date and time of visits;
- Time spent on pages;
- Links or buttons clicked;
- General interaction with the Website; and
- Advertising or campaign attribution information.
We may use this information to operate and improve the Website, understand how visitors use it, measure marketing performance, prevent fraud or abuse, and improve the user experience.
4. Cookies, Analytics and Advertising Technologies
The Website may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, analytics services, call-tracking technologies, and similar technologies.
These technologies may be used to understand Website traffic, remember preferences, measure conversions, determine how visitors found the Website, evaluate advertising campaigns, and improve our services.
Third-party advertising and analytics providers may use their own technologies subject to their respective privacy policies.
Interest-Based Advertising and Retargeting. We work with advertising partners that use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to show ads for our services to people who have visited the Website, including when they later visit other websites or apps. These partners may collect information such as the pages you viewed, your device and browser identifiers, and the fact that you visited the Website. This activity may be considered “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law.
You can opt out of this sharing through our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link, and we treat Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid opt-out request. You can also limit interest-based ads through your browser settings, the ad settings offered by advertising platforms, or industry opt-out tools such as optout.aboutads.info and optout.networkadvertising.org. Opting out does not stop all ads; you may still see ads that are not based on your visits to the Website.
We do not send the contents of forms, messages, or calls to advertising partners for retargeting purposes.
Do Not Track. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no common industry standard for these signals, the Website does not respond to them. We do honor GPC signals as described above.
5. Forms, Email, Text Messages and Other Communications
If you contact us by web form, email, chat, text message, or another communication method, we may collect and retain information associated with that communication.
If you provide your telephone number and submit a form, you consent to receive calls and text messages from Title IX Defense Group and the attorneys or law firms responding to your inquiry, at the number you provided, regarding your request. These may include calls and messages sent using automated technology. Consent is not a condition of obtaining any service. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, or reply HELP for assistance.
Submitting information through the Website does not by itself establish an attorney-client relationship.
6. How We May Use Information
We may use information collected through the Website to:
- Respond to inquiries;
- Evaluate and route requests for legal assistance;
- Connect prospective clients with attorneys;
- Facilitate consultations;
- Operate and maintain the Website;
- Improve Website content and functionality;
- Understand Website usage;
- Measure marketing and advertising performance;
- Prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats;
- Maintain business and operational records;
- Comply with legal obligations; and
- Protect our rights and the rights of others.
7. Disclosure of Information
Depending upon the nature of your inquiry and applicable law, information may be disclosed to:
Attorneys and legal service providers. Information may be provided to licensed attorneys or law firms for purposes of evaluating or responding to your request for legal assistance.
Service providers. We may use vendors that provide hosting, analytics, communications, call tracking, customer relationship management, website functionality, security, advertising, and related services.
Marketing and referral partners. Where appropriate and permitted by law, information may be shared with partners involved in facilitating or responding to an inquiry.
Legal and safety purposes. Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, court orders, governmental requests, or to protect rights, safety, security, or property.
Business transactions. Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.
8. Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidentiality
Using this Website, reading its content, submitting a form, sending an email, or contacting Title IX Defense Group does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.
An attorney-client relationship is established only when an attorney or law firm expressly agrees to undertake representation in accordance with its applicable engagement procedures.
Do not assume that information submitted through the Website is protected by attorney-client privilege merely because it concerns a potential legal matter.
If you are ultimately represented by an attorney, communications made within that attorney-client relationship may be subject to applicable duties of confidentiality and privilege.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information under our control.
However, no Internet transmission, email system, electronic storage system, or Website can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted electronically.
10. Data Retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, preventing fraud, and enforcing agreements. Our general retention periods are:
- Inquiry and contact information: [X years] after your last communication with us;
- Website analytics and advertising data: [X months], or as set by the applicable provider.
11. Your Privacy Choices
You may request that we stop sending marketing communications to you at any time. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, or delete certain personal information. California residents should see Section 12.
