Privacy Policy

When you submit a free case review request through our intake form, we collect the following categories of personal information:

We also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit our website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This information is collected through standard web server logs and analytics tools.

We use the personal information you provide for the following purposes:

• To evaluate your workers' compensation claim and connect you with a qualified California workers' compensation attorney in our referral network.
• To send you a confirmation email acknowledging receipt of your submission.
• To communicate with you about your case review, including follow-up calls or messages from an attorney.
• To maintain records of referrals made through our platform.
• To improve the functionality and user experience of our website.
• To comply with applicable laws and legal obligations.

We do not use your information for automated decision-making, profiling for advertising purposes, or any purpose unrelated to connecting you with legal representation for your workers' compensation claim.

We share your personal information only in the following limited circumstances:

Referring Attorneys. The primary purpose of this website is to connect injured workers with licensed California workers' compensation attorneys. When you submit a case review request, your information will be shared with one or more attorneys in our referral network who may be able to represent you. These attorneys are independent legal professionals and are not employees or agents of CA Work Comp Recovery.

Service Providers. We may share your information with third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services, including email delivery services (SendGrid) and website hosting providers. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only to provide services to us and not for their own purposes.

Legal Requirements. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

Business Transfers. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our website before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.

As a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These rights include:

• Right to Know. You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which we collected it, the business or commercial purpose for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to Delete. You have the right to request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions (such as information we are required to retain by law or to complete a transaction you requested).
• Right to Correct. You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing. We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You therefore do not need to opt out of any such sale or sharing.
• Right to Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please submit a written request through our online contact form on the homepage, clearly stating your request. We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including connecting you with an attorney and maintaining referral records. In general, we retain intake submissions for a period of three (3) years from the date of submission, after which they are securely deleted. We may retain certain information longer if required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), access controls limiting who can view submission data, and secure database storage.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Our website is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please notify us immediately through our online intake form and we will take steps to delete such information.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy, please submit your inquiry through our online intake form on the homepage. All privacy-related requests will be handled confidentially.
