Important: Submitting information through the Site (including through a contact form) does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a signed engagement agreement. Please do not submit confidential or privileged information through the Site until an attorney-client relationship has been established.
3. USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
Pingle Law may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in the creation of certain content on this Site, including:
– Written content: Blog posts, articles, FAQs, marketing emails, and similar informational content may be drafted or edited with the assistance of AI tools. All such content is reviewed by our team before publication, but it is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
– Multimedia content: Images, graphics, and/or videos appearing on the Site may be generated or edited, in whole or in part, using AI tools.
AI-assisted content is not a substitute for individualized legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. If any content on this Site is generated or substantially assisted by AI, we aim to identify it as such where practicable. Nothing on this Site, whether AI-assisted or not, creates an attorney-client relationship or should be construed as legal advice specific to your circumstances.
We do not input confidential client information into publicly available AI tools. Any use of AI in connection with client matters is subject to applicable rules of professional responsibility and confidentiality obligations.
4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:
– Service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing), under confidentiality obligations

– Successors, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
