This Privacy Policy describes how InjuredCrew ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information about visitors to this website and people who contact us for a case review. We take confidentiality seriously — the nature of our work requires it.
Information we collect.
Information you provide directly.
When you submit a contact form, request a case review, call our office, or email us, you may share: your name, contact information, employer or vessel name, details about a workplace injury, medical information, and other information relevant to evaluating your case.
Information collected automatically.
Like most websites, ours collects limited technical information automatically — IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring source, timestamps. This helps us understand how the site is used and improve it.
Cookies and similar technologies.
We use cookies to maintain session state and (with your consent where required) to measure site analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work without them.
How we use your information.
We use the information you provide to: evaluate potential cases; communicate with you about your inquiry or case; comply with legal and ethical obligations; operate, maintain, and improve our website and services.
Information about your potential case is treated as confidential attorney-client information from the moment you share it. Submitting the contact form does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship — but we still treat your information with the discretion expected of a maritime injury law practice.
When we share information.
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only when: you ask us to; it is necessary to provide legal services (e.g., with experts, co-counsel, or court filings in your case, always with your knowledge); required by law or court order; or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or reorganization of our practice, with any recipient bound by confidentiality obligations.
Data retention.
We retain case-review information for the period necessary to evaluate your inquiry and fulfill legal obligations. If we represent you, case files are retained according to applicable bar retention requirements, typically at least seven years after case closure.
Your rights.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to certain uses. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.
Security.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No internet transmission is perfectly secure, but we take appropriate steps to minimize risk.
Children.
Our services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Changes to this policy.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
