Website Privacy Policy – Compare Lawsuit Loans
This Privacy Policy explains how Compare Lawsuit Loans, LLC (“Compare Lawsuit Loans,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) gathers, uses, retains, and discloses information about visitors (“Users”) to the comparelawsuitloans.com website (“Website”). It applies to the Website and to all services we make available through it.
About Compare Lawsuit Loans
Compare Lawsuit Loans is an informational and comparison resource. We are not a legal funding company, lender, or law firm. We do not underwrite, approve, decline, service, or fund any request, and we do not advance money to Users. The Website publishes information about companies that offer consumer legal funding and provides forms, links, and telephone numbers that allow you to reach those companies directly. Understanding this is important to understanding how your information moves: when you submit a form on a listed company’s profile page, the point of that form is to put your information in the hands of the corresponding funding company so they can respond to you.
Collected Information
We may gather two kinds of information about Users, referred to together as “Collected Information”: Personal Identification Information and Automatically Collected Information. Each is described below.
Personal Identification Information
We receive Personal Identification Information directly from you when you complete a form on the Website. Depending on the form, you may be asked for your name, email address, phone number, state of residence, the type and details of your case, the amount of funding you are seeking, and the name and contact details of your attorney or law firm. We do not obtain information about you from your attorney, from public records, or from court filings, and we do not receive case updates over time, because we are not a party to any funding transaction.
Automatically Collected Information
Certain technical information is recorded when Users interact with the Website. This may include IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, referring page, pages requested, and the dates and times of requests. This information is generated in the ordinary course of delivering and securing the Website and is processed by our hosting and security providers on our behalf. Under California law, some of this information may qualify as personal information even though it does not identify you by name.
Links from this Website to funding companies may include tracking parameters that identify Compare Lawsuit Loans as the referral source, so that the company can attribute your inquiry to us for compensation purposes.
Web Browser Cookies
The Website does not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or cross-site tracking cookies. The only cookies set are security cookies placed by Cloudflare, our security and content delivery provider. These distinguish automated traffic from human visitors and remember that a visitor has already passed a security challenge, so the same challenge is not presented repeatedly. They are not used to build a profile of you, to serve advertising, or to follow you across other websites. Both are set on our own domain and exist to keep the Website functioning and protected. Users may configure their browsers to refuse cookies or to warn before accepting them, but blocking these cookies may cause parts of the Website to work incorrectly or to repeatedly present security challenges.
Use of Collected Information
Compare Lawsuit Loans uses Collected Information for the following purposes:
- To connect you with the legal funding company you selected – This is the core function of the Website. Each funding company we feature has its own page with its own form. When you submit a form, the information you provide is transmitted to that company. Once your information reaches the company, it is handled under that company’s privacy policy and practices, which we neither control nor administer. Any application, offer, agreement, or transaction that follows is strictly between you and that company. We may also share information with service providers who support our operations, such as hosting, security, and email providers.
- In connection with compensation we receive – We may be paid by the companies featured on the Website when you contact one of them through the Website or enter into a transaction with one of them. To administer and verify that compensation, we may exchange limited information with those companies confirming whether an inquiry we transmitted resulted in contact or a transaction. This is described further in our Terms of Use.
- For legal and business purposes – Where the law permits or you authorize it, we may disclose Collected Information to affiliated and non-affiliated parties in order to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights; in connection with a proposed or completed sale, merger, or transfer of our business or its assets; to obtain services or advice from our professional advisors; and as otherwise required or permitted by law.
- For marketing purposes – Information you provide may be used for our own marketing and to send you information about the Website and the options available through it, where permitted. You may opt out at any time as described below. If you give us your phone number, we may contact you by phone regarding your inquiry. We do not send text messages.
- For security and spam prevention – We apply automated technical measures to identify and block spam and abusive submissions to our forms. This may involve recording the IP address and submission details of blocked attempts.
- To improve the Website – The information Users provide helps us understand which comparisons and resources are useful and where the Website falls short.
Your Control Over Marketing Communications
If you receive promotional or marketing email from us, you may opt out at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the foot of any marketing message, or by emailing us at info@comparelawsuitloans.com and asking to be removed from our marketing lists. We may still send you messages that relate directly to an inquiry you submitted.
Opting out of our marketing does not stop communications from a funding company you were connected with. Those companies contact you on their own behalf, and you will need to make any opt-out request directly to them. We cannot opt you out on their behalf.
Third-Party Websites
The Website links to sites and services operated by third parties, including the funding companies we feature. We do not control what appears on those sites and are not responsible for what those parties do. Third-Party Websites may or may not maintain privacy policies of their own. Your interaction with any Third-Party Website, including any site that links to ours, is governed by that site’s own terms and policies rather than this one.
Online Tracking and Your Privacy Choices
Global Privacy Control
The Website honors the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal. In practice, GPC has little to act on here: we do not run analytics, advertising, or cross-site tracking technologies on the Website, and we do not sell or share information collected through tracking technologies. The only cookies we set are the Cloudflare security cookies described above, which remain active regardless of a GPC signal because they are necessary to protect the Website.
GPC addresses tracking technologies. It does not govern information you affirmatively choose to submit to us. If you complete a form asking to be connected with a funding company, we will still transmit your information to that company in order to carry out your request, as described in the Use of Collected Information section above. GPC operates browser by browser, so it must be enabled separately on each browser and device you use.
Do Not Track
Certain browsers include an older “Do Not Track” feature. The California Online Privacy Protection Act requires that we disclose our response to it. No uniform technological standard for DNT was ever settled on, and the Website does not respond to these signals. Global Privacy Control, addressed above, is a separate signal that we do honor.
Protecting Collected Information
Every page on this Website is served over TLS, which creates an encrypted connection between our web server and your browser. That encryption helps keep information passing between the two private in transit.
Children’s Privacy
The Website is not intended for children under 13, and children should not submit personal details to us. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to us may email info@comparelawsuitloans.com to request that it be deleted promptly.
Changes to This Policy and Your Acceptance
Compare Lawsuit Loans may revise this Privacy Policy at its discretion and at any time. The current version will be linked from our homepage. Your use of the Website signifies your acceptance of the policy then in effect and of our Terms of Use, and you acknowledge that reviewing this policy for changes is your responsibility. If the policy is not acceptable to you, please leave the Website.
