Overview of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Fuerza Law Group may collect, use, disclose, protect, and retain information when visitors use the website, contact the firm, submit a case review request, call, email, or interact with online features. The policy is written to help visitors understand what information may be involved when they look for legal information or request contact about a personal injury matter. By using the website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. If you do not want information handled as described here, you should not submit information through the website.
The website is designed for people seeking general information about personal injury matters, New York service areas, and case review options. Some people may only read pages. Others may submit a form, call the listed number, send an email, or request a review. The type of information collected depends on how a visitor uses the website. A person who only reads pages may share less information than a person who fills out a form describing an accident, injury, medical treatment, insurance issue, or contact preference.
This policy is not a legal engagement agreement and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Communications through the website may be reviewed to determine whether further discussion is appropriate, but representation begins only after required review, agreement, and written confirmation when applicable. Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information before representation is confirmed.
Information You Provide Directly
Fuerza Law Group may collect information that you choose to provide. This may include your name, phone number, email address, preferred language, location, date of incident, type of incident, short description of what happened, injury information, treatment details, insurance information, employment impact, preferred contact time, uploaded documents if a feature is available, and any other information you decide to include in a message. If you call, the firm or service providers may collect caller identification information, voicemail content, call notes, call time, and call-back information.
When you submit information about an accident or injury, you should provide details that are accurate to the best of your knowledge. You should not submit information about another person unless you have permission or a lawful reason to do so. You should also avoid sending medical records, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, passwords, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information through a standard website form unless you are specifically instructed to do so through an appropriate secure method.
Information you provide may be used to respond to your request, contact you, review whether your inquiry relates to a practice area, understand the general facts, identify possible deadlines or urgency, coordinate intake, improve website content, maintain records, protect the website, comply with law, and communicate about related services. Submitting information does not guarantee that the matter will be accepted or that representation will be offered.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting provider, analytics tools, security tools, or similar technology. This may include internet protocol address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring website, approximate location based on technical data, date and time of visit, language settings, interactions with pages, form error information, and general usage patterns. This information helps operate the website, understand visitor needs, improve page performance, identify broken links, protect against abuse, and measure whether content is useful.
The website may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, analytics tools, call tracking, spam prevention, security monitoring, or similar technologies. Cookies are small files or identifiers that may be stored on your device. They can help remember settings, measure traffic, improve performance, prevent fraud, and understand how visitors interact with the website. You can adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies, but some features may not work properly if cookies are disabled.
The website may not respond to every Do Not Track signal or similar browser preference because there is no single universal standard followed by every provider. However, visitors can use browser settings, device settings, privacy tools, cookie controls, and provider opt-out options to manage some forms of tracking.
How Information May Be Shared
Fuerza Law Group does not sell personal information for money. Information may be shared when reasonably necessary to operate the website, respond to inquiries, evaluate requests, communicate with visitors, provide services, protect rights, or comply with law. This may include sharing information with attorneys, intake personnel, administrative support, technology providers, website hosting companies, email providers, form processors, call providers, analytics providers, security services, document management providers, translation or language support providers, and other service providers that help operate the website or respond to requests.
Information may also be shared when required or permitted by law, court order, subpoena, legal process, professional responsibility rule, regulatory request, or to protect the rights, property, safety, security, or interests of Fuerza Law Group, visitors, clients, service providers, or others. If a matter is reviewed and representation is offered, additional privacy practices and confidentiality obligations may apply through the engagement process and professional rules.
If a visitor asks to be connected with a lawyer, professional, provider, co-counsel, referral partner, or other party, information may be shared as needed to respond to that request. The firm may also share information in connection with a business transition, website transfer, merger, restructuring, or similar event, subject to appropriate legal requirements.
Data Security and Retention
Fuerza Law Group uses reasonable efforts designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Security measures may include website security tools, access controls, hosting protections, spam filters, monitoring, administrative safeguards, and provider security practices. However, no website, email system, phone system, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors submit information at their own risk and should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through unsecured channels.
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to inquiries, evaluating requests, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, enforcing terms, improving the website, and protecting rights. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the nature of the inquiry, whether a relationship is created, legal requirements, professional obligations, and operational needs.
If you submitted information and want to request deletion, correction, or limited use, you may contact Fuerza Law Group using the contact information on the website. Some information may need to be retained for legal, professional, security, accounting, recordkeeping, or dispute-related reasons. The firm may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.
Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You may choose not to submit a form and instead call, email, or use another available contact method. You may also choose not to provide optional information. If you do not provide enough information, however, it may be harder to respond meaningfully to your request. You may unsubscribe from non-essential marketing communications if such communications are offered, and you may ask not to be contacted through a particular method when reasonable and legally permitted.
Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to request access to personal information, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or information about certain disclosures. The availability of these rights can depend on the law, the type of information, the relationship involved, and exceptions that may apply. To make a request, contact Fuerza Law Group at the email listed on the website and describe the request clearly.
The website is not intended for children. Visitors under the age of 18 should not submit personal information through the website without appropriate parent or guardian involvement. If you believe a child submitted information without appropriate permission, contact the firm so the issue can be reviewed.
External Websites and Third-Party Practices
The website may link to external websites or use third-party tools. This Privacy Policy does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites, platforms, analytics services, maps, payment systems if any, social media pages, browser providers, phone carriers, email providers, or other outside services. When you leave this website or interact with a third-party tool, that provider’s privacy policy and terms may apply. You should review those policies before providing information to third parties.
Some third-party providers may process information in locations outside your state or country. Different privacy laws may apply depending on where a provider, visitor, server, or service is located. By using the website, you understand that information may be processed where Fuerza Law Group or its providers operate, subject to applicable law and reasonable provider arrangements.
Fuerza Law Group works to use service providers that support reliable website operation, communication, security, and visitor experience. However, the firm cannot control every action of every external provider. Visitors should use their own judgment when clicking links, downloading files, submitting information, or interacting with third-party services.
Policy Updates and Contact Information
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, services, technology, legal requirements, or business practices. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the website after an update means that you acknowledge the revised policy. If a change is significant, additional notice may be provided when appropriate.
Questions about this Privacy Policy, information practices, privacy requests, or website communications may be directed to Fuerza Law Group at intake@fuerzalawgroup.com. You may also use the contact information listed on the website. Please include enough detail for the firm to understand and respond to your request. Do not include unnecessary sensitive information in an initial privacy request.
Privacy matters are important because personal injury inquiries can involve health, employment, insurance, family, transportation, and financial details. Fuerza Law Group aims to handle visitor information with care, honesty, and a practical focus on responding to the reason the visitor contacted the firm.
