Privacy Policy
Overview
Weston Intelligence Forensics LLC, doing business as Weston Intelligence, respects the confidentiality of visitors, counsel, and prospective clients. This Privacy Policy explains how information submitted through westonintel.com may be collected, used, protected, and handled.
This website is intended for attorneys, law firms, and litigation professionals seeking information about The Weston Sub Rosa Audit™ and related non-testifying consulting services. The website is not intended for use by minors, claimants acting without counsel, represented parties communicating directly about active litigation, surveillance vendors attempting to obtain methodology access, or opposing parties seeking information about confidential engagements.
Information We May Collect
We may collect information voluntarily submitted through the website, email, contact forms, intake forms, or related communication channels, including:
- Name, law firm, organization, title, phone number, and email address
- Matter type, jurisdiction, court, claim type, and general case information
- Opposing party, opposing counsel, carrier, third-party administrator, self-insured entity, surveillance vendor, investigator, or related participant names submitted for matter evaluation
- Surveillance package information voluntarily submitted for scoping or engagement review
- Uploaded files, documents, video, reports, photographs, metadata, or other materials submitted through secure upload systems
- Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring URL, and pages viewed
Do not submit confidential, privileged, protected, or case-sensitive material through ordinary email or a public website form unless specifically directed to do so under an engagement protocol.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to respond to inquiries, conduct preliminary matter intake, evaluate engagement fit, prepare engagement documents, coordinate secure uploads, provide non-testifying consulting services after engagement, improve website function and security, and comply with legal, administrative, or business requirements.
Substantive audit review begins after the engagement letter is executed.
Attorney-Client and Work Product Notice
Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship, expert relationship, consulting engagement, or duty to review. Weston Intelligence is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
When formally retained by counsel, services are intended to be structured as non-testifying consulting work product under the applicable engagement letter, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(4)(D), and applicable state-law equivalents. Privilege and work-product protection are legal determinations controlled by retaining counsel and applicable law.
Secure Uploads and Case Materials
Case materials should be submitted only through the secure upload process designated by Weston Intelligence. Upload links may be issued after initial intake and engagement coordination.
Materials uploaded for engagement purposes may include video files, reports, photographs, billing summaries, tasking materials, metadata, investigator disclosures, chain-of-custody documents, pleadings, discovery, and related matter records.
Weston Intelligence may use third-party secure file-transfer or storage providers to receive and manage client materials. Those systems are separate from ordinary website browsing.
Cookies, Analytics, and Website Data
The website may use cookies, server logs, analytics, spam-prevention tools, or similar technologies to understand website traffic, improve performance, and protect site security. Browser settings may allow visitors to disable or restrict cookies.
Sharing of Information
Weston Intelligence does not sell personal information. Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with service providers supporting website hosting, secure uploads, email, analytics, forms, security, or business administration; retaining counsel or authorized representatives under an engagement; professional advisors; or legal authorities if required by applicable law, subpoena, court order, or lawful process.
Case-specific materials are handled according to the engagement letter, matter protocol, and applicable law.
Data Security
Weston Intelligence uses reasonable administrative, technical, and operational measures to protect information submitted to the practice. No website, email system, upload system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
The Federal Trade Commission advises businesses to understand what personal information they collect, where it is stored, who has access to it, and how it moves through the business as part of an effective security program. Weston Intelligence applies that principle to its intake and matter-handling processes.
Retention
Information may be retained as reasonably necessary for engagement administration, recordkeeping, legal compliance, business operations, and protection of rights. Case materials may be subject to separate retention and disposition terms in the engagement letter.
Your Choices
Visitors may contact Weston Intelligence to request correction, limitation, or deletion of information submitted through the website, subject to legal, work-product, business, or recordkeeping obligations.
No Minor Use
This website is intended for business and professional use by adults. It is not directed to children or minors.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The effective date will be revised when material changes are made.
