Information we collect
AdvocateFinder collects the information you choose to provide when you submit an intake form, contact form, or other request through this website. This may include your name, email address, phone number, location, preferred legal service, case description, urgency level, and any details you provide about your legal issue.
We may also collect basic technical information about how the website is accessed, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, referral source, and general usage data. This information helps us operate, secure, and improve the website.
How we use information
We use submitted information to review your inquiry, understand the practice area and location connected to your matter, communicate with you, and help route your intake to an appropriate lawyer or law firm for possible follow-up.
We may also use information to maintain records, improve intake quality, prevent spam or misuse, troubleshoot technical issues, and comply with legal, security, or administrative obligations.
How information is shared
When you submit a legal intake request, your information may be shared with a lawyer, law firm, or intake reviewer for the purpose of assessing whether they may be able to assist you. We do not sell your personal information.
Information may also be shared with service providers that help us operate the website, email systems, hosting, analytics, security, and related business functions. These providers are expected to handle information only for the services they provide to us.
Legal intake confidentiality
We treat legal intake requests with care, but submitting information through this website does not by itself create a lawyer-client relationship. A lawyer-client relationship is only formed after a lawyer or law firm confirms representation and any required agreement is completed.
Please do not submit information that is more sensitive than necessary for initial intake. If a matter is urgent, involves a deadline, or involves immediate safety concerns, contact a lawyer directly or use emergency services where appropriate.
Security and retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information submitted through the website. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure, and users should consider this when deciding what information to submit.
We retain information for as long as reasonably needed for intake review, communication, legal compliance, recordkeeping, dispute prevention, and website operation. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the inquiry and our business needs.
Your choices
You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information, subject to legal, operational, and recordkeeping requirements. We may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
You can choose not to submit an intake form or contact form. Some website features may not be available if you do not provide the requested information.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, intake process, service providers, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page.
This policy is intended as general website privacy information and should not be treated as legal advice about privacy law or your specific rights.
