Privacy Policy
Effective date: 17.05.2026
Yarijanian & Associates, PLC ("Yarijanian & Associates," "Ask Hamlet," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit askhamlet.com or contact our firm, how we use that information, and the choices you have about it. By using our website or submitting information to us, you agree to the terms of this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit the website.
Information You Give Us. When you contact us through our website, by phone, or by email, you may provide:
- Your full name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Mailing address or zip code
- A description of your accident, injury, or legal matter
- Any documents, photos, or other materials you choose to send
- Insurance, medical, employment, or other case-related information you share during an intake conversation
You are never required to share more than you are comfortable sharing. If you only want a brief case evaluation, you can give us less information. Sharing more detail simply helps us evaluate your case faster.
Information Collected Automatically. When you visit our website, certain information is collected automatically through your browser and our analytics tools. This may include:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages you visit on our website and how long you spend on each
- The website or search engine that referred you to us
- Approximate location based on IP address
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and gather usage data. We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies that make the website function properly
- Analytics cookies through Google Analytics, which help us understand how visitors use the site
- Advertising and conversion tracking cookies from platforms we may use to measure the performance of our marketing
- Preference cookies that remember your settings between visits
You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect how parts of our website function.
3. Third-Party Services We Use
We use third-party services to operate the website, communicate with potential clients, and measure the performance of our marketing. These may include:
- Google Analytics for website traffic analytics
- Google Tag Manager for tracking script management
- Google Ads, Bing Ads, and other advertising platforms for paid search and display advertising
- Hosting and form processing providers that store contact form submissions on our behalf
- Phone tracking services that route calls and record metadata about call sources
Each of these services has its own privacy policy and data handling practices. We choose vendors that meet reasonable data protection standards, but we do not control how they process information once it reaches their systems.
4. Consent to Be Contacted (TCPA Compliance)
When you submit our contact form or otherwise reach out to us, you give us permission to contact you by phone, text message, and email about your inquiry, including through automated systems. Standard message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of text messages at any time by replying "STOP." You can opt out of phone or email contact by telling us directly or by replying "unsubscribe" to a marketing email.
Giving consent to be contacted is not a condition of hiring our firm or receiving legal services.
5. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide for the following purposes:
- To evaluate your legal matter and determine whether we can represent you
- To contact you about your case or potential case
- To provide legal services if you become a client
- To respond to your questions and inquiries
- To improve our website and the services we provide
- To measure the performance of our marketing efforts
- To comply with legal obligations, court orders, or law enforcement requests
If you do not hire us, we retain a record of the contact only for conflict-checking and case management purposes, and we do not share that information with any third party except as required by law.
6. Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidentiality
The information you share when contacting us about a potential case is treated as confidential. However, please be aware that contacting us through this website, by phone, or by email does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. A formal attorney-client relationship only begins after we have signed a written representation agreement.
Until that agreement is in place, information you share is treated with care but is not protected by the full extent of attorney-client privilege. Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or time-sensitive case materials until we have confirmed in writing that we will represent you.
7. How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information you share with us. These include encryption of website form submissions, secure email handling, and restricted access to client files. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection. If we ever experience a data incident that affects your information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.
8. Data Retention
We retain potential client information for as long as needed to evaluate your inquiry and address any follow-up questions. If you become a client, we retain your case file in accordance with the rules of the California State Bar and applicable record-keeping requirements. We retain analytics and website usage data for the periods specified by our analytics vendors.
You can request deletion of your personal information at any time, subject to the legal and ethical record-keeping requirements that apply to law firms.
9. Your Rights Under California Law (CCPA)
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) give you the following rights:
- Right to know what personal information we have collected about you
- Right to delete personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information
- Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
- Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information at the bottom of this policy. We will respond within the timeframes required by California law.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. Links to Other Websites
Our website may link to third-party websites, including review sites, social media platforms, and informational resources. Once you leave askhamlet.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party website.
