2. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us. Our Site does not currently include contact or intake forms. If you choose to contact us by email or telephone using the information on our Site, we will receive the information you provide — such as your name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our Site, we and our analytics provider automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device identifiers, the pages you view, the time spent on those pages, your referral source, and a general (city/region-level) location derived from your IP address.

Sensitive information. We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as health data, racial or ethnic origin, or government identifiers) through our Site. If you send us sensitive information relating to a legal matter, it will be handled in accordance with our professional obligations rather than this Policy.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and understand how it is used:

  • Essential cookies set by our website platform to enable core functionality and security.

  • Analytics cookies set by Google Analytics, which helps us understand how visitors use our Site so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects the usage information described in Section 2.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and our cookie banner lets you accept or decline non-essential (analytics) cookies. We do not use advertising, retargeting, or cross-context behavioral tracking cookies.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Operate, maintain, and secure our Site;

  • Understand and improve how our Site is used (analytics);

  • Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;

  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or misuse; and

  • Comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may share information only as follows:

  • Service providers: With vendors who help us operate the Site — currently our website hosting platform (Squarespace) and our analytics provider (Google) — who may process information on our behalf.

  • Legal requirements: When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation (such as a subpoena or court order), to protect our rights or safety or those of others, or to enforce our terms.

  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of firm assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

  • With your consent: For any other purpose you authorize.

  • Aggregated or de-identified data: Information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

6. Data Security and Retention

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including SSL/TLS encryption for data transmitted to and from our Site (HTTPS), access controls limiting access to authorized personnel, and data minimization. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law (including legal, tax, and professional-recordkeeping obligations), after which we securely delete or de-identify it.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you. To exercise any right, contact us at info@yellenlegal.com or (716) 304-2820. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

California residents. If you are a California resident, you may request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, request deletion or correction, and you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so no opt-out is necessary. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
