Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy relates to Firm website interactions and informational intake workflows. Submitting messages or questionnaires through our website alone does not, by itself, create an attorney–client relationship unless and until both you and Workplace Rights Advocacy agree to engage in representation as defined by applicable ethics rules.

1. Overview

When you browse this website, telephone our intake line and leave information, submit an employment questionnaire, or correspond with intake staff, certain information about you may be collected. This Notice explains the categories involved, purposes, disclosures, retention, choices, additional rights California residents may have, and ways to reach us—subject to overriding duties under law (including professional duties of confidentiality concerning clients).

2. Information collected

You provide voluntarily, for example:

• Identifiers and contact info (such as first and last name, email address, and phone number).
• Employment and facts about your dispute you choose to disclose (for example employer name, workplace location, pay and hours descriptions, factual narratives).
• Message content you include in questionnaires, voicemail, or correspondence.

Avoid sending highly sensitive identifiers (social security numbers, financial account passwords, unrelated medical diagnoses) unless an authorized intake professional specifically requests them via a documented follow-up pathway.

Certain service providers capture technical data automatically typical of ordinary web hosting:

• Rough network / device telemetry (often including IP-derived geolocation approximation, timestamps, URLs requested, referrer, user-agent string).
• Error and security logs needed to defend service availability.

3. Purpose of use

Depending on facts, Firm may use submitted information lawfully only for purposes reasonably necessary to evaluate whether we can communicate with you prospectively about legal services:

• Intake routing, staffing, factual screening, preliminary conflict checking (where ethically permitted).
• Responding via phone/email when you inquire.
• Site operation, auditing, enforcing terms, safeguarding systems, complying with subpoenas lawful for non-client information (or where client consent/compulsion applies distinctly).
• Integrity & anti-abuse protections (spam filters where applicable).

4. Third-party processors & form delivery

Our website is delivered using cloud hosting (currently Google Firebase Hosting) and transmits content securely over HTTPS. When you submit the employment questionnaire at /contact/intake/, submissions are routed through Web3Forms (or any successor Firm configures) so they can securely forward form fields to Firm-designated inbox recipients. We may periodically change providers; materially different categories of sharing will be described here before they take effect wherever practical.

We do not sell personal information nor share it for targeted cross‑context behavioral advertising in the CPRA statutory sense (“sale” / “sharing”) through this informational site snapshot; if substantive commercialization ever occurred, supplemental disclosure would precede rollout.

5. Retention & security

Prospect communications are retained internally only as ethics, litigation hold, bookkeeping, malpractice insurance, statutory minimums, operational reasonableness—or client representation duties—require (each category differs). Transmission uses TLS encryption; internal storage adopts reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but electronic channels never guarantee absolute immunity from compromise—as with any networked system—so refrain from needless sensitive attachments before engagement confirmation.

6. Disclosure & professional duties

Firm disclosure outside vendors strictly necessary for delivery/support is minimized. Ethical secrecy obligations govern actual client engagements separately and may supersede general website statements when conflict arises.

7. Choices & California residents

If you reside in California, you may possess rights respecting access, portability, deletion, correction, opting out from certain disclosures, nondiscriminatory pricing for exercising rights—with statutory carve-outs (“GLBA,” attorney work product, investigative privilege scaffolding, lawful retention blocks). Because exercise often requires identity verification Firm will direct you appropriately (do not fax SSN blindly—follow instructions).

To submit a CPRA-style inquiry: use the paths on our Contact page (phone or correspondence) with the subject line “California Privacy Rights Request,” describe what you seek, and follow any authentication steps Firm provides. You may designate an authorized agent consistent with statute; unreasonable or abusive requests may be declined until adequately verified.

Under California Civil Code § 1798.83 (“Shine the Light”), California residents may annually request disclosure of categories of personal information Firm shared with unrelated third parties for direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year, if applicable. Written requests referencing § 1798.83 may be mailed to: Workplace Rights Advocacy, 14546 Hamlin St., Ste. 107, Van Nuys, CA 91411. Firm does not use the intake questionnaire for third-party promotional list sales; informational responses may merely confirm absence of statutory sharing categories.

8. Cookies & analytics

This static web distribution did not intentionally embed standalone advertising trackers or behavioral pixels at authoring time; incidental hosting diagnostics may nonetheless exist at infrastructure layer. Functional browser storage is not purposely required to read published articles/forms.

9. International visitors

Processing occurs in the United States. If EU/UK or other regimes apply extraordinarily, supplementary mapping may occur only where Firm affirmatively directs cross-border engagements.

10. Children

Services marketed through this informational site are directed to adults encountering workplace disputes. Firm does not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen. If you believe we received such information inadvertently, please call (800) 566-4868 or reach us via /contact/.

11. Modifications

Firm revises these privacy disclosures when warranted; material changes affecting prior substantive representations will endeavor reasonable supplementary notice modalities when practical.
