Privacy Policy

• Bankruptcy Washington State (“we,” “us,” or “our”) values your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By visiting or using our website (e.g., www.bankruptcywashingtonstate.com) or contacting us, you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

• Non-personal information: We may log domain names, IP addresses, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and similar technical data. This information does not directly identify you.
• Communications: If you contact us (via form, email, phone, etc.), we collect any personal details you provide (e.g., name, email address, phone number, case details).
• Marketing opt-in: With your consent, we may collect your email or other contact information to send updates, newsletters, or promotional offers. You can opt out at any time.
• Cookies and tracking: We use cookies and similar technologies to improve site functionality, remember preferences, and analyze usage. Cookies alone are not linked to personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it elsewhere on our site.

How We Use Information

• Service delivery: To respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, or provide legal or informational services you request.
• Website maintenance & improvement: To monitor usage, diagnose issues, and optimize performance and user experience.
• Communications: To send administrative messages (e.g., appointment reminders, policy updates) and, if opted in, marketing or newsletter communications.
• Analytics: To aggregate usage data for internal analysis, helping us understand trends and improve our offerings.
• Legal compliance & protection: To comply with applicable laws, defend our rights, and investigate potential violations.

Security

• We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption in transit via HTTPS, secure servers) to protect data during transmission and storage.
• If we ever collect sensitive data (e.g., payment credentials), we ensure that transmission is encrypted. Look for “https://” and a lock icon in your browser.
• Access to personally identifiable information is limited to employees or contractors who need it for specific tasks (e.g., billing, customer support). Stored data resides on secure systems with restricted access.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

• Cookies: Small files stored on your device to remember preferences and streamline repeat visits (e.g., keeping you logged in). Cookies also help us analyze site usage.
• Third-party analytics: We may use services (e.g., Google Analytics) that deploy cookies to collect aggregated data about site traffic and usage patterns. These do not identify you personally.
• Managing cookies: You can disable or delete cookies via your browser settings; however, some site features may then be limited.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

• No sale of personal data: We will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing.
• Service providers: We may share data with trusted vendors who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, marketing platforms). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only as instructed.
• Legal requirements: We will disclose personal information if required by law or legal process (e.g., subpoena), or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:
  • Comply with legal obligations or cooperate with law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
  • Protect and defend our rights, property, or safety, or those of our users or others.
  • Investigate or address fraud, security, or technical issues.
• Public forums: Any information you voluntarily post in public areas of the site (e.g., comments, discussion boards) becomes publicly accessible and may be collected and used by others. Exercise caution when sharing.
