McMillan Law PLLC · Tampa, FloridaPrivacy policy
What this website collects, why, who handles it, and what you can ask me to do with it, in plain English.
Last updated September 22, 2026
The short version
This policy covers the website of McMillan Law PLLC, a law firm in Tampa, Florida, and the case review form on it. In this policy, "I" and "me" mean Jackson McMillan and the firm.
- I collect the information you choose to send me so I can respond to you, check for conflicts of interest, and decide whether I can help.
- I do not sell or rent your personal information.
- I treat what you tell me about your legal matter as confidential, even before you hire me.
- You can ask what the firm has about you, or ask me to correct or delete it.
What the case review form collects, and why
When you use the case review form, it asks for the following:
| Information | Why I ask for it |
|---|---|
| Your name | To know who I am talking to and to check for conflicts of interest |
| Phone number and e-mail address | To contact you about your inquiry |
| Your county | To see whether your matter is one I can handle and where it would be filed |
| The name of the other party (for example, the credit bureau, bank, or landlord) | To check for conflicts of interest before I review your matter |
| A short description of what happened, and a few questions specific to your issue (for example, whether you disputed with a credit bureau or gave your landlord a new address) | To understand your situation and decide whether I may be able to help |
| How you found the firm (optional) | To understand which outreach is reaching people |
| Documents you choose to upload, such as credit reports, dispute letters, statements, a lease, or a landlord's notice | To evaluate your matter accurately and quickly |
I use this information only to respond to your inquiry, evaluate your matter, and check for conflicts. Uploading documents is optional. Please never send passwords, and feel free to black out Social Security numbers and full account numbers first. The disclaimer explains how sending information relates to an attorney-client relationship.
The same applies when you call or e-mail the office: I use what you share to respond and to evaluate your matter.
How form submissions are handled
When you submit the form, it goes to a small program that runs in the firm's own Google Workspace account, which e-mails your request directly to the firm's inbox, saves any documents you upload to a private folder in the firm's Google Drive, and may also record the request in a private firm spreadsheet used for conflict checks. That means your submission is processed and stored on Google's systems as the firm's e-mail and document provider. It is not sent to a separate form company.
To keep out spam and automated abuse, the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, a service that checks whether a visitor is a person. Turnstile runs in your browser and receives technical information such as your IP address and browser details for that purpose; it does not receive the contents of your form. The form also includes a hidden field that people never see and records how long the form took to fill out, both of which help filter out bots.
Like almost every website host, the host also keeps standard server logs, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages requested, and the date and time. These logs are used to operate and protect the site.
Phone calls, texts, and e-mail
The case review form includes this consent statement:
By submitting, you agree McMillan Law may contact you by phone, text, or e-mail about your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of texts.
I use your phone number and e-mail address to follow up on your inquiry. You can reply STOP to any text to stop receiving texts, or tell me at any time that you would rather be contacted another way. I do not share your phone number or your consent to receive texts with third parties for their marketing.
Cookies, analytics, and fonts
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser. The site's own code does not set cookies. Some outside services the site uses may, as described here.
Analytics
The site may use privacy-respecting analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. If Google Analytics is enabled, Google sets cookies in your browser and receives information about your visit, such as the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, your device and browser type, and your approximate location based on your IP address. Google handles that information under its own privacy policy. I use analytics reports to improve the site, not to identify individual visitors.
Fonts
The site's fonts are served by Google Fonts. When your browser loads a page, it requests the fonts from Google's servers, so Google receives your IP address and basic browser information.
Your choices
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work. Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics (opens in a new tab).
I do not sell your information
I do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone, and I do not share it with anyone for their own marketing. I share it only:
- with the service providers that run the website, forms, e-mail, and phone for the firm, so they can provide those services;
- with another lawyer, if your matter may be referred to or handled together with that lawyer, and only after I tell you first; and
- when the law, a court order, or the professional rules that govern Florida lawyers require it.
Confidentiality
If you become a client, what you and I discuss about your case is confidential, and it may also be protected by the attorney-client privilege.
Before you hire me, your inquiry is still treated carefully. The professional rules for Florida lawyers protect people who consult a lawyer about possibly hiring them, and I keep information from prospective clients confidential. I use it to evaluate your matter and check for conflicts, and for nothing else. Even so, submitting the form or sending an e-mail does not make you my client, and I ask that you share only the basics until an engagement agreement is signed.
How information is protected
This site uses an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and I take reasonable steps to protect the information you send, such as limiting who can access it. No website, form, or e-mail system is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee the security of information sent over the internet. That is one more reason to keep your first message to the basics.
How long information is kept
I keep inquiry information only as long as reasonably needed to respond to you, evaluate your matter, and meet legal and professional obligations. Names used for conflict checks may be kept after an inquiry closes, so the firm can avoid taking on a matter that conflicts with someone it has already consulted with. If you become a client, your file is kept for the period that professional rules and good practice call for, and then securely destroyed.
Asking about, correcting, or deleting your information
You can ask what personal information the firm has about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. I will honor your request unless the law or my professional obligations require me to keep something, such as a name needed for conflict checks. I may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.
Children's privacy
This website is meant for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent information through this site, contact me and I will delete it.

If you have a question about this policy or want to make a request, contact Jackson McMillan at McMillan Law PLLC, Tampa, Florida, by e-mail at jackson@getmcmillanlaw.com or by phone at (813) 921-3516.
Changes to this policy
