Privacy Policy

Current as of February 2026.

1. Information Collection

Kernal & Associates (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects information you provide directly through our website contact forms, phone calls, emails, and text messages. This may include your name, phone number, email address, and details about your legal matter. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may also collect limited technical information automatically when you use this site, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referring URLs.

2. Use of Information

We use the information we collect to respond to your inquiries, evaluate your potential case, communicate with you regarding your legal matters, and improve our services. We may contact you by phone, email, or text message at the number or address you provide to us.

3. How We Share Information

We may share personal information only in limited circumstances, including:

• With service providers that help us operate the website, intake process, or communications systems
• When required by law, court order, or legal process
• To protect rights, safety, and security of clients, visitors, or the public
• With your direction or consent

We do not sell personal information. We also do not share SMS opt-in data or consent records with third parties for their own marketing.

4. Communications & Text Messaging

By submitting a contact form on our website or otherwise providing your phone number, you expressly consent to receive communications from Kernal & Associates, including:

• Phone calls, including calls made using automated dialing technology
• Text messages (SMS and MMS) related to your inquiry or legal matter
• Emails at the email address you provide

Message frequency: Message frequency varies based on the nature of your inquiry and your ongoing communication with our firm. We will not send you unsolicited marketing messages via text.

Message & data rates may apply. Your carrier’s standard messaging and data rates apply to any text messages you send to or receive from us. Kernal & Associates is not responsible for any fees charged by your wireless provider.

Opt-out: You may opt out of receiving text messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. After opting out, you will receive a final confirmation message and will no longer receive texts from us unless you re-subscribe or initiate a new inquiry.

Help: For assistance, reply HELP to any text message or call us at 405.364.0601.

Consent to receive communications is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services from our firm. You may contact us by other means if you prefer not to be contacted by phone or text.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. We process opt-out requests within a reasonable time, not to exceed 10 business days, and maintain reasonable consent records for compliance and auditing purposes.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, manage client matters, maintain records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Form submissions are transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS). However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Third-Party Services

Our website uses third-party services to operate effectively. These include Netlify for website hosting and form processing, and Google services (Analytics, Maps) for site analytics and embedded maps. These providers may collect certain technical data (e.g., IP address, browser type) in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
