Riley Law Firm, is committed to protecting any personal information that you provide to us through this website. We believe it is important for you to know how we treat information about you that we may receive from this website.
In general, you can visit this website with anonymity, in other words without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself. Our web servers collect the domain names, not the e-mail addresses, of visitors.
Our web servers also seek (as most websites do) to place a “cookie” (a small data file), on your computer’s hard drive that allows the server to identify the computer when it visits again in order to track statistical information about navigation to and throughout certain areas of our site and to promotions on other sites. This cookie is not used to obtain your name or any personal data. The information that is tracked is used only for internal purposes, such as to improve site navigation and to measure the effectiveness of our promotional placements. It is not shared with anyone other than Riley Law Firm affiliates and contractors who assist us and who are bound to confidentiality. However, accepting cookies is not required to peruse or otherwise use this website. If you prefer not to accept cookies, you can set your browser to reject them or to alert you before one is placed.
In addition, there are portions of this Web site where we may need to collect personal information from you for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with certain information you request. The information collected from you may include your name, address, telephone, fax number, or e-mail address. Again, this information is only collected if you elect to submit it by submitting a contact form.
If you choose to submit a potential claim for review, do not provide your Social Security number. However, we will later ask that you provide us with your Social Security number if we undertake your representation. In that circumstance, we need your Social Security number to obtain your medical records and wage information. We do not use the information for any other internal secondary purpose. We also collect personal information about you and any involved family member (e.g., name, email address, Social Security number or other unique identifier), but only if you specifically and knowingly give it to us or authorize us to obtain it.
You may be submitting Protected Health Information through this website. Moreover, if we accept your representation, we will be asking for your Protected Health Information ‒ as well as the Protected Health Information of any involved family member ‒ in otherwise confidential medical records, as well as the authority to provide such information to others as may be necessary in the consideration, investigation, or prosecution of your claim.
This website is not intended to be utilized by persons under 18 years of age, and is not intended for recipients outside the state of Washington. While we consider and frequently handle cases involving minor patients, we do not knowingly market our products or services to children.
Except as indicated below, information in your file is confidential and is only accessible to members of our staff. We will take reasonable precautions to maintain the security, confidentiality, and integrity of the information we collect.
With regard to hard copies of your records, they are maintained in the office of your counsel, in an area that is not open to the public.
The information is maintained in electronic format, on a local hard drive maintained behind a router firewall. Other independent lawyers and their staff may be on the same network server. However, your file is not a shared file on that network server, so no one not affiliated with Riley Law Firm will have authorized access to your file.
This information is also backed up on a separate local hard drive, behind a separate router firewall at a separate location of Riley Law Firm.
This information will also be stored on an offsite remote server, such as Dropbox or MyCase, but only one that is deemed adequately secure and password-protected.
Of course, we have no ability to verify the security of any outside server, nor can we guarantee complete security of any local or remote server, despite the level of care provided to try to maintain security.
We do not sell the information we collect, under any circumstances.
The personal information you give us will be used only in connection with the consideration, investigation, and/or prosecution of your claim and for other purposes as described in this document or at the point the information is collected.
If we take your case, we may disclose your Social Security number and Protected Health Information to health care providers, expert witnesses, employers, support staff, or governmental agencies, in order to obtain evidence relevant to your claim, or if ordered by the court or required by the Rules of Discovery.
If we take your case, we may also disclose your Social Security number and Protected Health Information to an adverse party if requested to do so in the course of the discovery process, but only where such information is relevant to the claim.
We do not have a routine policy for destruction of electronic records. Rather, it is our policy to maintain those electronic records on local and remote servers indefinitely, in case the clients want or need those records in the future. We make every effort to ensure that the entire file is stored electronically for no less than two years, in the same secure manner that is observed with respect to active client files, as outlined in detail above.
We do not maintain hard paper copies of any client files after conclusion of the litigation or the termination of our engagement. At the conclusion of the litigation or on the termination of our engagement, you will be notified of your right to pick up the hard paper copies of your entire file. It will be your burden to arrange to pick up the file materials, if so desired. If you do not notify us of your desire to pick up the hard paper copies of files within 30 days of our notification to you, the hard paper copies will be securely recycled and will no longer be available to anyone.
Domain name information that we collect is not used to personally identify you and instead is aggregated to measure the number of visits, average time spent on the site, pages viewed, etc. We use this information to measure the use of our site and to improve the content of our site.
When other information is collected from you, such as your name and e-mail address, we generally let you know at the time of collection how we will use the personal information. Usually, we use the personal information you provide only to respond to your inquiry or to process your request (such as to receive information about our services). This information may be shared with Riley Law Firm affiliates, but only if necessary to fulfill your request or for related purposes.
We do not share, sell, or lease personal information about you to any outside third-parties for their marketing use. We will release information about you if you direct us to do so, if we are required by law to do so, or in other legally limited circumstances (for example, to protect your account from fraud).
If you call a telephone number listed on our Web site, we may collect Personal Information from you, including your name and telephone number through caller identification and reverse call technology. We also may record the telephone conversation. We record the telephone conversation to track the performance of our advertisements and for quality assurance purposes. We do not record the calls for the purpose of collecting your Personal Information. If we record the telephone conversation, we will notify you before the conversation begins. In addition to Company, the only parties that have access to the recording are the telephone service provider and Company contractors and affiliates who assist strictly in the efforts described in this paragraph, and who are bound by confidentiality.
By providing my contact information and telephone number, I expressly authorize Company or its affiliates to contact me at the telephone number that I have provided and/or the email address that I have provided, even though I may have previously chosen to have the telephone number that I provided or the email address that I provided added to any Do-Not-Call List or anti-spam list including the lists maintained by Company or its affiliates or any local, state, or federal government agency. I further acknowledge that by submitting this request, Company or its affiliates have my permission to contact me via telephone and/or email.
Company’s Web site may contain links to other sites. While we try to link only to sites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices employed by other sites.
We maintain strict physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized or inappropriate access. We restrict access to information about you to those Company workers who need to know the information to respond to your inquiry or request. Workers who misuse personal information are subject to disciplinary action.
