1. Introduction & Acceptance
ClaimFile NY (operated as workclaimclarity.com, referred to here as “ClaimFile NY,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes plain-language guidance on the paperwork, forms, and procedural steps involved in a New York work injury claim. This Privacy Policy describes the categories of information we collect from visitors, how it is used and disclosed, and the choices available to you. By using this website, you signify that you have read this policy and agree to the practices it describes. If you disagree with any part of it, your only recourse is to discontinue use of the site.
1.1 Relationship to Our Other Legal Notices
This document addresses privacy and data-handling matters only. It does not constitute legal advice and offers no opinion on the merits, timing, or handling of any individual’s workers’ compensation matter. Our Terms of Use and General Disclaimer govern the conditions of using the site and the limits of the informational content we publish, respectively; the three documents are intended to be read together.
1.2 No Liability Arising From This Policy
We maintain reasonable data-handling practices as described below, but no website can guarantee absolute security, and this policy is not a warranty of any particular outcome. Use of the site, including any submission of information through it, is undertaken at your own discretion and risk, to the fullest extent applicable law permits.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in two broad categories: information you choose to provide directly, and information generated automatically as a byproduct of your visit.
2.1 Information You Voluntarily Submit
If you use a contact form, send an email, or otherwise reach out to us directly, we may receive personal details such as your name, email address, telephone number, general location, and the content of your message, including any facts you choose to share about your work injury or claim status. Providing this information is always optional; no registration is required to read the informational content on this site.
2.2 Automatically Collected & Derivative Data
Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools log technical data each time a page is requested, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, device type, the date and time of access, the pages you viewed, and the referring or exit pages associated with your visit. This “derivative data” is generated by the mechanics of your visit rather than supplied by you directly. It helps us understand aggregate usage patterns and is not intended to identify a specific individual, though in rare cases it could theoretically be correlated with other information to do so.
2.3 Cookies & Similar Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and comparable technologies to keep the site functioning, remember limited preferences, and compile analytics about how visitors move through the site. Some of these are placed by third-party analytics or advertising partners rather than by us directly, subject to those partners’ own privacy practices. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu; doing so may limit certain features while the core informational content remains accessible.
3. How We Use the Information We Collect
We put collected information to a limited set of uses, described below.
- To respond to inquiries and messages submitted through our contact channels;
- To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the site’s functionality and layout;
- To analyze aggregate traffic patterns and site performance and prioritize which topics to cover;
- To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or attempts to compromise site security;
- To comply with applicable law or requests from regulatory authorities; and
- Where you have given consent, to connect you with an independent third-party service, as described in Section 4.2.
We do not use collected information to render individualized legal advice, and no communication you send us creates a professional or fiduciary relationship.
4. Disclosure of Information
We do not sell personal information. We do, however, share information in the limited circumstances described below.
4.1 Service Providers
We rely on third-party vendors to perform functions on our behalf, such as web hosting, content delivery, email transmission, and traffic analytics. These vendors receive only the information necessary to perform their function and are expected to handle it under industry-standard confidentiality practices.
4.2 Voluntary Referral & Matching Requests
If you affirmatively request to be connected with a workers’ compensation attorney, claims consultant, or similar third-party professional, we may forward the details you supplied to one or more independent providers so they can reach out to you. We do not control, supervise, or guarantee the conduct of these third parties, and any resulting engagement is strictly between you and that party. This sharing occurs only at your initiation and only to facilitate the connection you requested.
4.3 Legal Process & Protection of Rights
We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that doing so is required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of ClaimFile NY, our visitors, or the public.
4.4 Business Transfers
If ClaimFile NY were to undergo a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of its assets, collected information could transfer to the successor entity as part of that transaction. We would expect any successor to remain bound by this policy, or to notify affected users of any material change.
5. Third-Party Sites & Advertisers
This site may link to external websites, government portals, insurer resources, or advertisements maintained by unaffiliated organizations. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or security of those third parties, and this policy does not apply once you leave our site. Advertising partners and ad networks placing content on our pages may independently collect information through cookies for ad targeting and measurement; review the privacy disclosures of any advertiser or third-party site you visit.
6. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of electronic storage or transmission, however, is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against every intrusion. If you transmit sensitive claim details through email or a contact form, you do so understanding that no online channel is entirely risk-free.
7. Children’s Privacy
This website is directed at adult workers and is not designed for, marketed to, or intended for use by children under thirteen. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under thirteen. If we learn that a child under thirteen has provided us with personal information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted information to us should contact us using the details in Section 9.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or applicable law. The “Last Updated” date above indicates when the current version took effect. Continued use of the site after any revision constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
