Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 11/3/2025

1. Who We Are

Our website address is: https://theinjuryjudge.com (the “Site”).
By using the Site or submitting information through the Site, you consent to this Privacy Policy.

2. What Information We Collect

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form (for example name, email, website), and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the Site (for example via a form submission), please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the Site may download and extract any location data from images on the Site.

Contact/Lead Forms
When you fill out a contact or lead-generation form (e.g., to request a case review), we collect any personal information you provide (such as your name, email address, phone number, brief description of your situation). We also may collect your IP address and browser details for security and spam-prevention purposes.

Cookies and Tracking
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies on the Site. For example:

• If you leave a comment on our Site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year.

• If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

• We may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) and advertising purposes. Embedded content from other websites (see Section 4) may also use cookies.

• You may manage or disable cookies via your browser settings, although disabling cookies may reduce the functionality of the Site.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes (among others):

• To respond to your inquiries, contact you about your situation or match you with a qualified attorney.

• To operate, maintain and improve the Site and our services.

• To detect and prevent fraud, spam or unauthorized use.

• To comply with legal obligations and safeguard our rights.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on the Site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves as if you visited the other website directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

5. Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with our service providers and with attorneys whom you authorize us to connect you with, in order to provide the services you request. If you request a password reset or similar, your IP address may be included in the reset email as part of security. We may also share information in response to legal process or to protect our rights and property.

6. How Long We Retain Your Data

• If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in moderation.

• For users who fill forms or register (if applicable), we also store the personal information provided in their user profile or form database.

• We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

7. Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have submitted personal data via the Site (e.g., fill out a form or leave a comment), you may:

• Request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided.

• Request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.
  These rights do not apply to the extent we must retain data for legal, regulatory, security or legitimate business purposes.

8. Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Data may also be transferred and stored on servers located in [insert country or “the United States” if applicable]. We take steps to secure your data but cannot guarantee that transmissions via the Internet are 100% secure.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” at the top will be updated accordingly. We recommend you check this page periodically to stay informed.
