This Privacy Policy explains how Flood Law (“we,” “us,” or “the firm”) collects your personal information when you use the https://floodlaw.com/ website and all tools or services that are part of Flood Law (the “Site”) or when you otherwise interact with us.
The Site is based in Michigan and serves people with legal matters primarily in Michigan. If you are visiting this Site from another state, the data privacy laws in your state may not apply to your activities on the Site.
