Privacy Policy

Teton Defense | Ethan Morris, Attorney at Law

Last Updated: May 27, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Teton Defense ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects the personal information you provide when you contact us, submit an inquiry through our website, or engage our legal services. We are committed to handling your information with the discretion and care that attorney-client matters demand.

Note: This policy does not create an attorney-client relationship. Contacting us does not make you a client. Communications prior to a formal engagement are not protected by the attorney-client privilege unless and until a representation agreement is signed.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to respond to your inquiry or provide legal representation.

Information you provide directly, which may include:

  • Your name

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • A description of your legal matter, as you choose to share it

We do not require you to share any particular details about your case to receive a response from us. You control what you share.

Information collected automatically when you visit our website may include standard server log data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. We use this only to understand general website traffic and do not use it to identify you individually.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely to:

  • Respond to your inquiry about potential legal representation

  • Communicate with you about your case if you become a client

  • Schedule consultations or court-related appointments

  • Fulfill our obligations as your legal representative

We do not use your phone number or any other contact information for marketing or promotional purposes. We will not send you unsolicited text messages, newsletters, promotional offers, or any communications unrelated to your case or inquiry.

3. Text Messaging (SMS)

If you provide your phone number and consent to receive text messages, we may use SMS to communicate with you about scheduling, case updates, or other matters directly related to your representation or inquiry. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies.

Regarding your mobile information specifically:

  • Your phone number and any related opt-in consent will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

  • Text messages will be sent only in connection with your case or consultation — never for advertising.

  • Message frequency will vary based on the needs of your matter.

  • Standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier plan.

To stop receiving text messages, reply STOP at any time. You may also reply CANCEL, QUIT, END, or UNSUBSCRIBE — any of these will remove you from SMS communications and you will receive one final confirmation message. No further messages will be sent after that.

To opt back in, contact us directly by phone or email at any time.

For help, reply HELP to any text message or contact us at (307) 219-3535 or ethan@tetondefense.com.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers who assist with the operation of our practice, such as case management software or secure document platforms, to the extent necessary for those services. These providers are bound by confidentiality obligations.

  • Legal or regulatory requirements, such as a valid court order or subpoena.

  • With your explicit consent, for any other purpose you authorize.

Sharing with service providers is limited to the minimum information necessary for the specific function performed.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and administrative steps to protect the information you share with us from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. These measures include secure communications channels and restricted access to client information.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we work to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that may affect your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide legal services, satisfy our professional obligations, and comply with applicable law. Wyoming Rules of Professional Conduct govern our retention of client files and related records. Upon conclusion of a matter, records are retained in accordance with those obligations and then securely disposed of when retention is no longer required.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you

  • Correct any information that is inaccurate or incomplete

  • Request deletion of your information, subject to our legal and professional obligations to retain certain records

  • Opt out of SMS communications at any time by replying STOP

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at:
