Privacy Policy
Effective September 22, 2026. This policy covers the DDVM Law Client Messaging program and this website, operated by Downing, Davey, Vokins & Mann, LLC (“the firm,” “we,” “us”).
Mobile information and text messaging
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We do not sell, rent or trade your phone number or your text-message opt-in data to anyone. Information sharing with subcontractors who support the program — for example the messaging provider that delivers the texts — is limited to what is necessary to deliver the service, and those providers may not use it for their own purposes. Text-message opt-in consent and phone numbers are never shared with any third party for marketing or promotional purposes.
What we collect here
- What you type on the sign-up form: your name, your mobile number, and optionally the matter or attorney you work with.
- The record of your consent: the exact wording you agreed to, the date and time, the page address, your browser identifier and the network address the form was submitted from. This is how we prove, later, that a text was authorized.
- The content and timing of text messages between you and the firm, kept in your matter file as part of the record of the representation.
This site loads no analytics, no advertising pixels and no third-party fonts or scripts, and it sets no cookie other than the one that protects the sign-up form against forgery.
What we do with it
We use your number to send you the messages described in the SMS Terms, and we keep the consent record to document that you asked us to. That is all. We do not use it for advertising, we do not build profiles from it, and we do not give it to anyone for their own use.
Confidentiality
Information about a client or a matter is subject to the firm's professional duty of confidentiality under the Kansas Rules of Professional Conduct, which is broader than this policy. Nothing here narrows that duty. But note the practical limit in the SMS Terms: text messages themselves are not a secure channel, so please do not send sensitive information that way.
How long we keep it
Consent and opt-out records are kept for as long as we send you messages and for at least four years after the last message, so we can answer any question about whether a text was authorized. Messages that are part of a client matter are retained with that matter under the firm's file-retention practice.
Your choices
Reply STOP to any message to end texts immediately. To ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it, email inquiries@ddvmlaw.com or call 785-330-5577. We may need to keep an opt-out record even after a deletion request, because that record is how we keep from texting you again.
Security
This site is served over HTTPS and the consent records are held in an access-controlled database. No system is perfect, and text messages in transit are outside our control.
Children
This program is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly enroll them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the effective date above changes with it.
