Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Empire State Law PLLC (the "Firm," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and discloses information when you visit this website or submit information through it.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of information:
- Contact information you provide voluntarily through forms on this site, including your name, email address, telephone number, and city or borough.
- Matter information you describe to us, such as the provider involved, the date of service, amounts, and a description of what occurred.
- Documents you upload, including bills, explanations of benefits, receipts, and notices.
- Automatically collected information such as device type, browser, and general location, gathered through standard server logs and analytics.
How We Use Information
We use the information you provide to evaluate potential matters, respond to your inquiry, and communicate with you about your submission. We may also use anonymous, aggregated information to improve the website and our services.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your information. We may share information with trusted service providers acting on our behalf (such as form-processing or hosting providers) and as required by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights. We do not share submitted matter information with unrelated third parties for marketing.
Sensitive Information
Please do not include Social Security numbers, full financial account numbers, insurance member identification numbers, or other highly sensitive identifiers in any form submission or document upload. If a document you intend to share contains those identifiers, please redact them before uploading.
Confidentiality & Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship, and submission does not guarantee that the Firm will agree to represent you. Until we agree in writing to represent you, please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information that you would not be comfortable sharing with a non-client.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information you submit. No method of electronic transmission or storage, however, is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Cookies & Analytics
This site may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences and measure aggregate site usage. You can typically control cookies through your browser settings.
Your Choices
You may contact us at any time to request that we update or delete information you have submitted, subject to any legal or ethical retention requirements that apply to law firm records.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under thirteen.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
