Harlan York & Associates (“the firm,” “we,” “us” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit immigrationlawnj.com (the “Site”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
No Attorney-Client Relationship
The information on this Site is general information about immigration law. It is not legal advice, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship. Visiting the Site, calling, emailing, booking a consultation or otherwise contacting the firm does not by itself make you a client. An attorney-client relationship begins only when the firm agrees to represent you in writing.
Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information about your case by email or through the Site until an attorney at the firm has agreed to represent you. Under the New Jersey Rules of Professional Conduct, information you share with us as a prospective client is treated as confidential, but email and the internet are not completely secure.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you call us, email us, book a consultation or pay a fee, you may give us your name, email address, phone number, preferred language, the type of immigration matter you need help with, and any other details you choose to share. We collect only what you decide to provide.
Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, our systems and service providers automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, the time and length of your visit, the website that referred you, and general location (city or region, based on your IP address). This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies, described below.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive information through the Site, and we ask that you not submit details about your immigration status, criminal history, health or finances through the Site or by email before you become a client.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations;
- evaluate whether the firm can help with your matter and check for conflicts of interest;
- process consultation fees and other payments;
- send you information you have asked for, including firm updates if you have chosen to receive them;
- operate, maintain, secure and improve the Site;
- understand how visitors use the Site and measure the results of our advertising; and
- comply with our legal and professional obligations.
Cookies, Analytics and Advertising
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics, managed through Google Tag Manager, to understand how visitors find and use the Site. Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit and how long you stay. You can learn how Google uses this information at google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and you can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Advertising and conversion tracking. We advertise on Google, including Google Ads and Google Local Services Ads. Google may use cookies to show our ads to people who have visited the Site and to tell us when someone who clicked an ad later calls us or books a consultation. You can manage how Google personalizes ads at adssettings.google.com.
- Site performance and security. Our hosting and content delivery providers, including Cloudflare, use cookies and technical data to keep the Site fast and to protect it from attacks and spam.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. If you block cookies, some parts of the Site may not work as intended. The Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals, but you can use the opt-out tools above.
Third-Party Services
Some features of the Site are provided by other companies, and when you use them, your information is handled under their privacy policies:
- Calendly for booking consultations;
- LawPay for secure payment of fees and invoices (we do not see or store your full card details);
- Google Maps and YouTube for embedded maps and videos; and
- links to our profiles on sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell and Best Lawyers.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these companies or of other websites linked from the Site. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for money or other valuable consideration. We share information only:
- with service providers who help us run the Site, our office and our communications (for example, hosting, email, scheduling, payment and analytics providers), who may use it only to provide services to us;
- when required by law, court order or other legal process, or to comply with our professional obligations; and
- to protect the rights, property or safety of the firm, our clients or others.
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections to the Site and access controls on our systems. No method of transmission over the internet or of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to meet our legal, ethical and record-keeping obligations as a law firm. Client files are kept according to the firm’s file retention policy and the rules that govern attorneys in New Jersey.
Your Choices and Rights
You may contact us at any time to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to ask us to delete it, or to stop receiving marketing emails from us. Every marketing email we send includes a way to unsubscribe. We will respond to reasonable requests within the time required by law, subject to our legal and professional obligations (for example, we may need to keep certain records about clients and prospective clients).
New Jersey residents. The New Jersey Data Privacy Act gives New Jersey residents rights over their personal data, including the right to confirm whether it is being processed, to access, correct and delete it, to obtain a copy, and to opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data and certain profiling. While the firm may not meet the thresholds that make the Act apply, we honor these requests. To make a request, contact us using the details below. If we decline a request, you may ask us to reconsider by replying to our response.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. Parents and guardians seeking help on behalf of a child should contact the firm directly by phone. If you believe a child has given us personal information through the Site, please contact us and we will delete it.
Visitors Outside the United States
The Site is hosted in the United States. If you visit from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
