Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 17, 2026

Etemi Law Injury Lawyers, LLC, doing business as Etemi Law Injury Lawyers (“Etemi Law Injury Lawyers,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information obtained through etemilaw.com and any related online forms, communications, and services that link to this policy.

By using our website, you acknowledge the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Contact information, including your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, and preferred method of communication.
• Case-related information, including details about an accident, injury, medical treatment, employment, insurance coverage, potential witnesses, and other information you submit when requesting a consultation.
• Communications, including emails, form submissions, telephone inquiries, text messages, and other correspondence with us.
• Technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring website, approximate location, and activity on our website.
• Marketing and preference information, including your communication preferences and interactions with our advertisements or informational materials.
• Sensitive personal data, such as information about physical or mental health conditions, medical treatment, or injuries, when you voluntarily provide it in connection with a legal inquiry.

Please do not submit confidential or sensitive information through the website unless it is reasonably necessary for us to evaluate your inquiry.

2. How We Collect Information

We may collect information:

• Directly from you when you complete a form, request a consultation, call, email, or text us.
• Automatically through cookies, analytics tools, pixels, and similar technologies.
• From referral sources, co-counsel, medical providers, insurers, witnesses, public records, and other sources when permitted by law.
• From advertising platforms or social media services when you interact with our content.

3. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to inquiries and evaluate requests for legal services.
• Schedule consultations and communicate about appointments.
• Provide legal services to clients.
• Send case-related, administrative, or informational communications.
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website.
• Measure website traffic and advertising performance.
• Detect fraud, misuse, or security threats.
• Comply with court orders, professional obligations, and applicable laws.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
• Send marketing communications when permitted by law and consistent with your preferences.

Submitting information through our website does not guarantee that we will accept your matter.

4. Text Messaging Permissions

When you provide a mobile telephone number and affirmatively agree to receive text messages, you authorize Etemi Law Injury Lawyers and its messaging service providers to send SMS or MMS messages to that number. Messages may concern consultation requests, appointments, case updates, document reminders, responses to your inquiries, and other services you request. We will send promotional text messages only when permitted by law and supported by the required consent.

Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of hiring us or receiving legal services. Message frequency may vary, and standard message and data rates may apply.

You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to a text message. You may reply HELP for assistance or contact us through our website. An opt-out request may take a short period to process, and you may receive a confirmation message.

We do not sell or share mobile telephone numbers, text-message opt-in information, or messaging consent with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes. We may disclose this information to telecommunications carriers, messaging platforms, and other vendors that help us deliver messages, as well as when disclosure is required by law.

Wireless carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages. Text messages may not be fully secure, so you should avoid sending highly sensitive medical, financial, or identification information by text.

5. Cookies and Online Tracking

We may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, operate website features, understand how visitors use the website, and measure advertising performance.

Some third-party analytics or advertising services may collect information about activity across websites or devices. Depending on how these technologies are configured, their use may be considered targeted advertising or a sale of personal data under certain state privacy laws.

You may manage cookies through your browser settings or any cookie-preference tool made available on our website. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.

Where required by applicable law, we will recognize qualifying universal opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as a request to opt out of targeted advertising or the sale of personal data.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to:

• Website hosting, analytics, security, customer-management, communications, and text-messaging vendors.
• Attorneys, co-counsel, referral counsel, investigators, medical professionals, and litigation-support providers when appropriate and permitted by law.
• Insurers, opposing parties, courts, government agencies, and other parties involved in a legal matter.
• Accountants, auditors, consultants, and other professional service providers.
• Law enforcement agencies, regulators, or courts when required by law.
• A successor organization in connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, or transfer of business assets.

We do not sell personal information for monetary payment. If our use of advertising or analytics technologies is treated as a sale or targeted advertising under Connecticut law, eligible residents may opt out as described below.

7. Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidentiality

Contacting us, submitting a website form, or sending a text message does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we agree to represent you and any required engagement agreement is completed.

Until representation is confirmed, please do not send information that could harm your interests if disclosed. If we represent another party whose interests conflict with yours, information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not prevent us from continuing that representation.

Once an attorney-client relationship is formed, we protect client information according to applicable law, professional rules, contractual obligations, and attorney-client privilege.

8. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide legal services, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain appropriate business records.

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no website, email system, text-messaging service, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If a data-security incident affects personal information, we will provide notices required by Connecticut’s data-breach notification law and other applicable laws.

9. Connecticut Privacy Rights

To the extent the Connecticut Data Privacy Act applies to our processing, eligible Connecticut residents may have the right to:

• Confirm whether we process their personal data.
• Access personal data we maintain about them.
• Correct inaccuracies in their personal data.
• Request deletion of personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
• Obtain a portable copy of certain personal data.
• Opt out of targeted advertising.
• Opt out of the sale of personal data.
• Opt out of certain profiling used to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
• Withdraw consent to the processing of sensitive personal data when applicable.

These rights may be limited where information is protected by attorney-client privilege, required for legal claims, maintained to comply with professional obligations, or otherwise exempt under applicable law.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information below. We may request information needed to verify your identity and authority to make the request. An authorized agent may submit certain requests when permitted by Connecticut law.

We generally respond to verified requests within 45 days. When reasonably necessary and permitted by law, we may extend that period and notify you of the extension.

If we deny a request, you may appeal by contacting us and writing “Privacy Request Appeal” in the subject line or at the beginning of your message. We will review the appeal and provide a written response. If an appeal is denied, eligible Connecticut residents may contact the Connecticut Attorney General.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website and legal services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 through the website without appropriate authorization. A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information may contact us to request its deletion.

11. Third-Party Websites

Our website may link to social media platforms, maps, legal resources, or other third-party websites. We do not control the privacy, security, or content practices of those services. Their privacy policies apply when you visit or interact with them.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal obligations. We will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through additional notices when required by law.
