Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information the Lynchburg Bar Association (“the Association,” “we”) collects through lynchburgbar.org and how we use it.

Information you send us

Contact and Young Lawyers forms. When you use a form on this site, we receive the information you enter: your name, email address, phone number (if you give it), years in practice (Young Lawyers form, optional), and your message. Your message is delivered to the Association by email through Resend, an email delivery service. We use it to read and reply to your message. Young Lawyers questions may be answered on the Young Lawyers page; we will remove your name and any details that identify you before publishing a question or answer.

Please do not send confidential information about a legal matter through this site. The Association does not give legal advice, and sending a message does not create an attorney-client relationship with the Association or any lawyer.

Newsletter. If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address and, if you give them, your first and last name. Our mailing list is managed by Mailchimp, which stores this information on our behalf and processes it under its own privacy policy. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link.
