Job Injury Guide (“Job Injury Guide,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes educational material about occupational injury claims in New York State, including repetitive strain conditions, work-related hearing loss, occupational illness, and the evidentiary challenges of proving causation on the job. This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather when you visit jobinjuryguide.com (the “Site”), how that information is used, and the choices available to you. By browsing the Site, submitting a form, or otherwise interacting with our content, you signal your acceptance of the practices described below. If any part of this policy is unacceptable to you, the appropriate step is to discontinue use of the Site.

Nothing on this page, and nothing collected through the Site, constitutes legal advice, medical advice, or a professional opinion about any individual’s claim. Job Injury Guide is an independent publisher, not a law firm, and no attorney-client relationship arises from your use of the Site or from any data exchange described here. Where this policy discusses sharing your information with a third party — including an attorney, medical provider, or claims professional — that exchange is governed by the terms of that third party, and Job Injury Guide accepts no liability for how they subsequently handle, store, or act on your information.

Data We Collect

Information You Provide Voluntarily

Certain areas of the Site invite you to submit information directly — for example, a contact form, a newsletter signup, or a request to be connected with an outside professional. Depending on the feature, this may include your name, email address, phone number, general location, and a short description of your situation. You control what you share; fields marked as required are the minimum needed to respond to your inquiry, and anything beyond that is optional.

Information Collected Automatically

Like nearly every website, the Site and its hosting and analytics infrastructure automatically log certain technical details each time a page loads. This typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, the date and time of your visit, the page that referred you to the Site, and the page you visited next after leaving. We also derive aggregate statistics from this raw log data, such as how long a typical visitor stays on a given article or which pages are most frequently read. None of this automatically collected data is intended to identify you personally, though IP addresses and similar identifiers are sometimes capable of doing so when combined with other information.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

The Site uses cookies, pixels, and comparable local-storage technologies to remember basic preferences, distinguish returning visitors from new ones, and measure how our content performs. Some of these tools are placed by third-party analytics or advertising services rather than by us directly, and those providers may set their own cookies subject to their own policies. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may cause some Site features to behave less smoothly, but it will not prevent you from reading published articles.

Purpose & Use

We use the information described above for a limited set of purposes: to respond to questions or requests you submit; to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the Site; to understand which topics readers find most useful so we can prioritize future coverage on New York occupational injury issues; to detect and prevent abuse, spam, or fraudulent submissions; and, where you have opted in, to connect you with an independent attorney or professional who may be able to evaluate your situation. We do not use your personal data to make automated decisions that carry legal effect, and we do not sell mailing lists.

Sharing & Disclosure

  • Service providers. We rely on vendors that host the Site, process form submissions, deliver email, and analyze traffic. These vendors receive only the data necessary to perform their function and are not permitted to use it for unrelated purposes.
  • Voluntary referrals and matching. If you affirmatively ask to be connected with an attorney, medical evaluator, or other professional, we will forward the details you provided to that party or parties so they can follow up with you. This sharing happens only at your request and is the mechanism by which any referral service on the Site operates.
  • Legal process and protection of rights. We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that doing so is required by law, subpoena, or court order, or is necessary to investigate fraud, protect the safety of a person, or defend the rights, property, or security of Job Injury Guide, its users, or the public.
  • Business transfers. If the Site, or substantially all of its assets, is acquired, merged, or transferred, visitor information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the successor honoring the commitments in this policy.

Third Parties

Articles on the Site sometimes link to, embed, or advertise services operated by others — government agencies, insurance carriers, law firms, medical resources, and similar sites. Once you leave jobinjuryguide.com by clicking such a link, your activity is governed by that destination’s own privacy practices, not this one. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party site before submitting information there. Advertising networks that place ads on the Site may also collect data about your browsing activity across many sites over time in order to serve more relevant ads; that collection is controlled by the advertiser or ad network, not by Job Injury Guide.

Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical precautions intended to protect the information submitted through the Site, including transport encryption and restricted access to stored form submissions. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. You should avoid including sensitive identifiers — such as a Social Security number or full financial account details — in any form on the Site, since they are unnecessary for us to evaluate or forward your inquiry.

Children

The Site addresses workplace injury topics relevant to working adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us using the details below so we can promptly delete it.

Updates

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, our vendors, or applicable law. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised, and continued use of the Site after a revision is posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We recommend checking back periodically if you are a frequent visitor.
