Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information RightLawyer collects when you use this website, how it's used, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information We Collect
We collect two broad categories of information:
- Information you give us directly — your name, phone number and email address when you submit an enquiry, request a callback, register as an advocate, or contact us through a form on this site.
- Information collected automatically — standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and referring site, gathered through server logs and cookies to help the site function and to understand how it's used.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Connect you with the advocate or firm you've expressed interest in, by sharing your enquiry details (name and phone number) with that advocate;
- Respond to questions you send us directly;
- Review and process advocate registration and profile-claim requests;
- Maintain, secure and improve the website, including detecting misuse or spam submissions;
- Send you information you've specifically requested, such as a password reset link for an admin account.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Advocate Profile Information
Advocate profiles on this site are built from information advocates themselves submit during registration, or from publicly available professional information, and typically include a name, practice areas, courts, experience and contact details for the purpose of being found by prospective clients. Advocates can request corrections or removal of their listing by contacting us.
Cookies
We use cookies to keep the site working correctly — for example, to remember a security token between page loads — and, where enabled, to avoid showing the same enquiry pop-up repeatedly on a page you've already responded to. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some parts of the site may not work as intended without them.
Sharing Your Information
Beyond sharing your enquiry with the specific advocate you contacted, we do not share your personal information with third parties, except where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or with service providers (such as our email and hosting providers) who process it strictly on our behalf.
Data Retention
We retain enquiry and registration information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, or as required by law, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
Your Rights
You may ask us to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you by writing to us using the contact details on our Contact Us page. We will respond within a reasonable time.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect as soon as the updated policy is posted on this page.
