1) Information we collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Information you provide: such as your name, email, phone number, city/state, and the message you submit when requesting help or contacting a lawyer.
- Lawyer listing information: details submitted for directory listings, including firm name, contact information, practice areas, and profile descriptions.
- Basic technical data: such as browser type, pages visited, approximate location (city/state), and IP address for security and analytics.
2) How we use information
We use information to:
- Operate and improve the website and directory
- Route your request to relevant lawyers (when you submit a request for help)
- Prevent spam, fraud, and abuse
- Measure site performance and understand which content is useful
3) When we share information
We may share information in these situations:
- With lawyers: If you submit a request for help, we may share your submission with lawyers in the relevant area so they can respond.
- Service providers: We may use vendors that help us run the website (hosting, email delivery, analytics). They access data only to provide services to us.
- Legal and safety: If required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and site integrity.
4) Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, performance measurement, and security. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some site features may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.
5) Data retention
We retain submitted information for as long as needed to operate the directory, respond to requests, comply with legal obligations, and prevent abuse. We may remove or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.
6) Your choices
You can request that we update or remove certain information:
- If you submitted a request and want it removed, contact us with the email used in the submission.
- If you are a lawyer and want a listing corrected or removed, contact us with proof you control the listing details (such as the website domain or the listing email).
7) Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
