Privacy Policy

1. What is Leads Lawyers?

Leads Lawyers is a referral platform that connects people seeking immigration legal guidance with licensed immigration attorneys. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. We act solely as a technology intermediary to facilitate the initial contact between an inquirer and a licensed legal professional.

This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect the personal information you provide when using our website or consultation forms.

2. Information we collect

When you submit a consultation form, we may collect:

• Contact information: full name, phone number, email address, and WhatsApp number.
• Geographic information: state and city of residence.
• Case information: type of immigration matter, urgency level, intent to retain an attorney, upcoming deadlines (if applicable).
• Case context: relevant history (prior denials, criminal history) that the applicant voluntarily provides.
• Preferences: preferred language for assistance and payment readiness.
• Technical data: IP address, browser type, and pages visited — collected automatically for security and diagnostic purposes.

We do not collect Social Security numbers, credit card data, or health information through our public forms.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Evaluate and classify your inquiry (urgency level, case type) to match you with the most suitable attorney.
• Connect the assigned attorney with you.
• Improve our matching algorithms and service quality.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.
• Prevent fraud and ensure service security.

We do not use your information to send third-party advertising, and we do not sell it to advertisers.

4. Who we share your information with

We only share your information with:

• The assigned attorney, who will receive your contact details once they accept your case. That attorney is subject to their own professional confidentiality obligations.
• Technical service providers that operate the platform infrastructure (servers, email, storage), under contractual agreements that prohibit them from using your data for their own purposes.
• Authorities, when required by law or in response to a valid court order.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise commercialize your personal information to third parties.

5. Your rights — CCPA and applicable state laws

If you are a California resident or reside in another state with applicable privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Know what personal data we have collected about you and with whom it has been shared.
• Delete your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Correct inaccurate data we hold about you.
• Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.
• Opt out of the sale of your information — note: we do not sell personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@leadslawyers.com. We will respond within 45 days.

6. Data retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. Generally, data from inquiries that do not result in representation is deleted or anonymized within 24 months of the last activity. You may request earlier deletion at any time.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

Our site uses only strictly necessary functional cookies for the operation of the consultation form (session management, CSRF protection). We do not use third-party tracking, advertising, or behavioral analytics cookies.

8. Children's privacy

This service is intended for users 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover we have received data from a minor without parental consent, we will delete it immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child provided us with information, contact us at privacy@leadslawyers.com.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Policy periodically. If we make material changes, we will post the new version on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review it occasionally.
