Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Elite Counsel respects the privacy of website visitors, recognized lawyers, clients and authorized account users.
This Privacy Policy explains the information collected through the website and how it is used.
Information You Provide
Elite Counsel may receive information when you:
- submit the Contact Us form;
- request an account access link;
- manage authorized account contacts;
- update a lawyer profile;
- submit a photo update request;
- otherwise communicate directly with Elite Counsel.
Depending on the feature used, this information may include:
- name;
- email address;
- law firm or organization;
- telephone number;
- professional profile information;
- messages and enquiries;
- account-contact details;
- uploaded photographs or image URLs.
The current Contact Us form emails the submission to Elite Counsel and does not save a separate enquiry record in the website database.
Lawyer Profile Information
Elite Counsel publishes professional information about lawyers, including names, photographs, law firms, titles, locations, practice areas, biographies, contact links and professional recognition.
Some information may be derived from professional or publicly available sources.
Authorized users may update certain profile information directly. Other corrections may be requested through Contact Us.
Client Account Information
Client-access records may include:
- authorized contact name;
- role;
- email address;
- associated lawyer profile;
- access-link information;
- session records;
- selected lawyer profile;
- profile-change history.
Client access uses a first-party session cookie containing a random token rather than names or profile details.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to:
- respond to enquiries;
- provide and manage client account access;
- maintain and update lawyer profiles;
- process profile-update requests;
- maintain account security;
- operate and improve website functionality;
- maintain records of client-requested profile changes;
- communicate regarding Elite Counsel participation or account matters.
Search
Public search queries are processed by Elite Counsel’s own search system.
The website does not currently maintain a visitor search-history database or send search queries to third-party search providers.
Third-Party Services
Certain administrative functions use external service providers.
At present, these include services used internally for AI-assisted profile content, image enhancement and image-background processing. These tools are used by Elite Counsel administrators rather than as visitor tracking services.
Email is also delivered through the website’s mail infrastructure.
Third-party services may process information according to their own terms and privacy practices.
Security
Elite Counsel uses reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect account and website information.
No internet-based system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Data Retention
Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, account administration, profile maintenance, operational records or legal/business requirements.
Some account-access, profile-change and photo-request records do not currently have an automatic deletion schedule.
Your Choices
You may contact Elite Counsel to:
- request correction of professional profile information;
- request assistance with account access;
- update authorized account contacts;
- raise a privacy-related question.
External Websites
Elite Counsel may link to law firm websites and other third-party sites.
Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time.
The current version will always be published on this page.
