Privacy Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2026 · Last Updated: June 18, 2026
Overview
LawsuitSettlementEstimator.com ("we," "our," or "the Site") explains here what information we collect, how we use it, when we share or sell it, and the choices you have. LawsuitSettlementEstimator.com is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We may be compensated when we connect you with an attorney or law firm. By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
What Data We Collect
Calculator inputs: The numbers you enter into our calculators (medical bills, lost wages, fault percentage, and the like) are processed entirely in your browser. They are not transmitted to our servers and are not stored by us. You can use any calculator and see your full estimate without giving us any contact information.
Free case report: If you request the free case report, we collect your first name and email address so we can generate and deliver your report. If you choose the optional attorney connection at that step, we also collect your phone number.
Attorney connection opt-in: If you opt in to have an attorney review your case, you affirmatively submit your name, email, phone number, and ZIP code, along with a short summary of your case (your state, case type, and the estimate produced by the calculator). We record the exact consent language you agreed to and the time you agreed to it. A third-party consent-verification service, TrustedForm, records the opt-in interaction so there is an independent record of your consent.
Contact form: If you submit the contact form at /contact, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
Automatically collected data: Like most websites, we collect standard web analytics data including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs through Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics 4. This data is aggregated and not tied to your identity.
How We Use Your Data
We use your first name and email address to generate and deliver your free case report. We do not add you to a general marketing list.
If you opt in to the attorney connection, we use the contact details and case summary you submit to connect you with one or more attorneys or law firms. That means we share, and may sell, that information to a licensed attorney, a law firm, or a lead marketplace so they can contact you about your case. We may be compensated for making that connection. The attorney or firm may contact you by phone, text, or email, including by automated means, consistent with the consent you gave. Consent to be contacted is never a condition of using the calculator or receiving a report.
Third-Party Sharing and Sale
With attorneys, law firms, and lead marketplaces: When you opt in to the attorney connection, we share and may sell the information you submitted (name, email, phone, ZIP, and your case summary) to one or more attorneys, law firms, or a lead marketplace that routes it to them. Under California law (see below), this is treated as a sale and a sharing of personal information. We do this only after you affirmatively opt in.
With our consent-verification service: TrustedForm (operated by ActiveProspect) records the opt-in interaction and issues a certificate that documents your consent. We retain that certificate as proof of consent.
With analytics providers: Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics 4 receive aggregated usage data. This data does not include your calculator inputs or any personal identifiers beyond what is standard in web analytics.
Cookies and Analytics
Vercel Analytics operates without cookies and does not use persistent identifiers. Google Analytics 4 uses cookies to distinguish users and sessions; it may use your IP address to determine general geographic location. You may opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by adjusting your browser settings to block third-party cookies.
California Rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we have collected about you, to request deletion of your personal information, to correct inaccurate information, to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: When you opt in to the attorney connection, we sell and share your personal information as described above. To direct us not to sell or share your personal information, submit a request through the form at /contact with the subject "Do Not Sell or Share." You can also choose not to opt in, in which case we do not sell or share your contact information at all. We will honor a valid request and will not sell or share your information going forward. Note that once a lead has already been delivered to an attorney or law firm in response to your opt-in, we cannot retract what was already shared, but we can stop any further sale or sharing.
To exercise any of these rights, use the form at /contact with the subject "California Privacy Request." We will respond within 45 days.
Data Retention
Lead and report records (name, email, phone, ZIP, case summary, consent record, and delivery status) are retained as long as needed to operate the service, document consent, and meet legal and accounting obligations. Free report download links expire after the retention window shown at the time of delivery. Contact form submissions are retained for 90 days. Analytics data is retained in accordance with the applicable provider's standard retention policy.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
