Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 25, 2026
Gonzalez & Waddington, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates ucmjdefense.com (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Website or contact us through it, how we use that information, and the choices you have. By using the Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy and to our Terms of Use.
Contacting Us Does Not Create an Attorney-Client Relationship
Sending us information through the Website, by phone, by text, or by email does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only by a written agreement signed by you and our firm. Until then, please do not send us confidential or sensitive details about your case. We treat inquiries from prospective clients with care, but information you send before we are retained may not be protected in the same way as communications with a client.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you request a consultation, call us, send a message, sign up for updates, or otherwise contact us, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, military branch, rank, duty station, and any details you choose to share about your situation.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, the time spent on each page, the site that referred you, and general location derived from your IP address. We collect this information using cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Tools
We use third-party tools to understand how visitors use the Website and to improve it. These include Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, the LinkedIn Insight Tag, OptinMonster (for on-site sign-up and contact prompts), and review and website-performance tools. These providers may set their own cookies and collect information under their own privacy policies. For more detail, see our Cookie Notice.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Website work.

How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for third parties’ own marketing. We share information only:

Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including our professional and record-keeping obligations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect it. No method of transmitting or storing information online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, subject to any legal or professional obligation we have to keep it. You may unsubscribe from our emails at any time using the link in the message. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under state or foreign law. To make a request, contact us using the information below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

We represent service members stationed around the world. If you contact us from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
Children’s Privacy
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
