Protecting the Privacy of Children

Children under 13 are not the target audience for our Website. To protect their privacy, Tuohy Law Offices prohibits soliciting personal information from these children.

This site contains links to other sites. Tuohy Law Offices is not responsible for such websites’ privacy practices or content. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

Domain Information Collection

Tuohy Law Offices may collect domain information to analyze how visitors use this site. Tuohy Law Offices uses this information to improve its web-based offerings and serve you better. This information is collected automatically and requires no action on your part.

On occasion, Tuohy Law Offices may use Google Analytics to evaluate the web traffic to the Tuohy Law Offices website. The software uses “cookies” to analyze data such as how long a visitor stays on the Tuohy Law Offices website, what pages are visited, and for how long.

Assessing the data collected from you, as detailed above, Tuohy Law Offices strictly adheres to the Google Analytics Terms of Service and uses this anonymous data to understand better the type of person who visits our Website and what content is essential to them. This data enables us to become more familiar with which people visit our site, how often they visit, and what parts of the site they visit most often. At no time is your personally identifying information used in this data assessment, and Tuohy Law Offices will always be committed to keeping your anonymity safe and secure.

If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our Website, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You may also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. By not accepting cookies, some pages may not fully function, and you may be unable to access certain information on this site.

Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of Google’s advertising tracking cookie or use a browser plugin to opt out of all Google Analytics tracking software.

Internet Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us during transmission and after receiving it.

If we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and securely transmitted to us. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser or looking for “HTTPS” at the beginning of the web page’s address.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. The computers/servers where we store personally identifiable information are kept securely. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Tuohy Law Offices strives to protect your personal information; however, we urge you to take every precaution to protect your data on the Internet. Change your passwords often, use a combination of letters, and use a password security management service.

Email Security

Tuohy Law Offices uses Barracuda 256-bit keys, commonly known as AES-256, to secure all encrypted emails. The keys are stored in Barracuda’s geographically distributed data centers, with multiple data copies to provide redundancy. The data centers maintain strict physical security and access control. As an added measure of control, the data centers and the keys used to encrypt the data are stored in separate areas.

Once an email is encrypted, the recipient receives a notification with a link to the Barracuda Message Center. Access to the message requires HTTPS. The recipient must create a password for first-time access and then use this password for all subsequent access. To ensure security, replies are also sent via the Barracuda Message Center.

Data Protection in Clients Secure Portal

Tuohy Law Offices uses advanced technology from MyCase for case management and client communications. We invite all clients to their private, secure, password-protected portal to avoid the cybersecurity risks of using random email communications and document sharing.

Client portal software for law firms is an all-in-one solution for communicating with clients. You can safely share and store important documents, emails, messages, and more with client portals. In addition, secure portals allow clients to easily share and document upcoming meetings, tasks, and events or even pay online.

The main goal of client portal software for law firms is to improve the client experience by streamlining communication. A legal client portal will allow lawyers and their clients to effectively communicate around the clock, making it easy to exchange relevant case information and enabling law firms to facilitate better client relationships.

All clients’ documents are securely stored in their private portal, accessible 24/7 by password and download. Clients can also securely share messages and documents through their portal. Avoid faxing, mailing, or emailing communications and essential documents. Enjoy permanent storage and instant access to your estate plan, corporate records, and other legal documents.

MyCase implements the same standard of 128-bit SSL encryption banks use to provide law firms with a secure connection to send and receive data. All stored information is then encrypted with 256-bit AES encryption to add an extra layer of security.

Prevent sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands.
Eliminate the risk of lost data with automatic updates.
Control who can access highly confidential files and information.

Charge Cards and Payments

Law Pay Payment Processing processes our credit processing system using a state-of-the-art proprietary payment system. We strongly suggest you use this secure online system to make all charge card payments to Tuohy Law Offices.

Suppose you choose to email your credit card information. In that case, we recommend you do so in two separate emails, breaking up the charge card number in the first, including the second half of the number, and the expiration date in the second. You can also call us at 1-312-559-8400 with your charge card information.
