LegalScoops (www.legalscoops.com) is a legal news website sponsored by Doyle APC, a law firm located at 550 West B Street, 4th Floor, San Diego, CA 92101. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. In this policy, “LegalScoops,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the website and its sponsoring law firm.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you submit a form on this site, we collect the information you enter, such as your name, email address, phone number, state, and the details you choose to share about your situation. Some forms ask about a medical condition, a medication, a medical device, or another injury, because that information is needed to evaluate a potential legal claim.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and the tools we use record information your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time spent on pages, the site that referred you, and general location derived from your IP address.
Cookies and Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. We use third-party analytics tools that collect information about site usage, which we review in aggregate form. These providers may set their own cookies and process information under their own privacy policies.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you send a “Global Privacy Control” signal, which we treat as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
How We Use Information
- To respond to your inquiry and evaluate whether you may have a legal claim
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the site
- To understand which articles and topics are useful to readers
- To comply with legal and professional obligations and to protect our rights
How Form Information Is Shared
When you submit a case review form, your information is sent to Doyle APC. Doyle APC may share it with other law firms it works with as co-counsel or referral counsel on a particular type of case, so that your inquiry can be evaluated and, if appropriate, handled by the lawyers best positioned to help. We also use service providers that host this site and deliver form submissions; they may access information only to perform those services for us.
We may also disclose information if required by law, court order, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of LegalScoops, Doyle APC, our users, or others.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Health and Other Sensitive Information
Some inquiries involve health information or other sensitive details. We use that information only to respond to your inquiry and evaluate a potential claim, and we limit access to the people who need it for that purpose. Please share only what is needed for an initial review. Do not include Social Security numbers, account numbers, or medical records in a website form.
Submitting a form does not create an attorney-client relationship, and information sent through this website may not be treated as confidential or privileged until an attorney-client relationship is formed. See our Terms of Use.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If an inquiry concerns a minor, a parent or legal guardian should submit the form.
Data Retention and Security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including evaluating and handling legal matters and meeting professional record-keeping obligations. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information, but no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, including California, you may have the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose
- Request a copy of your personal information
- Request correction or deletion of your personal information
- Opt out of any sale or sharing of your personal information (we do not sell or share it)
- Limit the use of sensitive personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
To make a request, use our contact form and describe your request. We will verify your request before acting on it. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. Some information may be retained where the law or professional rules require it.
Links to Other Websites
Our articles link to court records, government agencies, news organizations, and other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
