Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Rose Federal Employee Advocates, a trade name of DC Consumer Law Group, PLLC (“we,” “us”), handles information collected through this website.

What we collect and who receives it

Screening form. When you submit the screening form we receive what you enter: name, phone number, email address, whether you are a federal employee, agency and work state if provided, the type of matter, the date of the most recent action, what you have already filed, and your summary. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which analyzes technical signals from your browser to tell people from bots; we receive only a pass or fail result. Submissions are delivered to us as email through Resend, a transactional email provider, and are not stored in a database by this website.

Consultation booking. Consultations are scheduled through Calendly, which is embedded on our booking page. Calendly collects your name, email address, phone number, the time you select, and your answers to any booking questions, shares them with us, and processes them as described in Calendly’s privacy notice.

Payment. The $250 consultation fee is charged at booking through Stripe, on a payment form operated by Stripe. Stripe collects your card number, expiration date, security code, billing name and postal code, and technical information about your device that it uses to detect fraud. We never receive your full card number. We receive a payment record (name, email, amount, date, card brand, and last four digits) and use it for receipts and refunds. Stripe processes payment information as described in its privacy policy.

Technical data. This site is served by Cloudflare, which processes IP addresses and request metadata to deliver and secure the site. Our form endpoint uses your IP address transiently for rate limiting and does not store it. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which does not use cookies, does not fingerprint devices, and does not track you across sites.

Advertising measurement. We advertise on Google. To learn whether an advertisement led to a form submission, a call, or a booking, this site loads Google’s advertising tag, which may set Google cookies on your browser and report those events to Google Ads. Google may use that information about your activity on this site, together with information from other sites, for its own purposes as described in Google’s privacy policy. We do not send Google your name, email address, phone number, or anything you write in the form.

If you arrive from an advertisement, we record the campaign identifiers in the link and keep them in your browser’s local storage for up to 90 days so that we know which advertising brought you to us. They are included in your screening email and used for nothing else.

Text messaging (SMS) privacy

If you provide your mobile number and opt in to text messages, we use it to send the messages described in our SMS Terms & Conditions below. SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates. Your mobile number and text-messaging opt-in are not sold, rented, or shared with any third party for their own marketing purposes. We share phone numbers only with the messaging service provider that delivers our texts, solely so it can deliver them.

Do not track

This site sets no tracking cookies of its own and does not respond to browser “do not track” signals. The Google advertising tag operates under Google’s policies.

How we use it

We use screening submissions to evaluate whether we can help you, which includes a conflict check; booking information to hold and reschedule your consultation; and payment records to issue receipts and refunds and to keep the accounting records our professional rules require. We do not sell personal information and share it only with the providers named above, for the purposes described.

Third-party services

Cloudflare (hosting, Turnstile, Web Analytics, email routing); Resend (email delivery); Calendly (scheduling); Stripe (payment processing); Google Ads (advertising measurement).

Consultation payments

The $250 consultation fee is charged when you book and is not credited toward a retainer. If you cancel or need a different time, email [email protected] for a new time or a full refund. Refunds are issued through Stripe to the card you paid with; your bank typically posts them within five to ten business days.

SMS Terms & Conditions

By sending a text message to (202) 521-4865, or by otherwise agreeing in writing, you consent to receive text messages from Rose Federal Employee Advocates, a trade name of DC Consumer Law Group, PLLC, at that number. Consent is not a condition of receiving legal services.

Messages you may receive include responses to your inquiry, scheduling and reminders for consultations and meetings, requests for documents or information, deadline reminders, and updates about your matter. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages.
