Work Injury Answers (“Work Injury Answers,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes short, plain-language answers to common questions about the New York workers’ compensation system. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit workinjuryanswers.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices you have. By browsing the Site, submitting a form, or otherwise using it, you accept the practices described below. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of the Site.
Please read this alongside our Terms of Use and Disclaimer. Work Injury Answers is an independent, educational publication. We are not a law firm, we do not employ attorneys to represent visitors, and nothing on the Site or collected through it creates an attorney-client relationship. We are not liable for decisions made in reliance on Site content, and to the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim responsibility for any loss connected to your use of the Site or any information exchanged through it.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Give Us Voluntarily
Some pages invite you to reach out directly, for example through our contact page or by emailing us. When you do, you may choose to share a name, email address, phone number, a short description of your situation, or other details you decide to include. We only receive what you affirmatively type or submit — we do not require an account to read the Site, and most visitors never provide any personal information at all.
Information Collected Automatically
Like nearly every website, our servers and hosting infrastructure automatically log certain technical data whenever a page loads. This typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, the date and time of access, the pages you viewed, and the page that referred you to us or that you exited to next. We also derive aggregate statistics from this data, such as which articles are read most often or how visitors typically navigate the Site. None of this log data is submitted by you on purpose — it is generated automatically by the exchange between your browser and our servers.
Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, local storage, and comparable tracking technologies to keep the Site functioning properly, to remember basic preferences, to measure traffic and readership, and to support any advertising displayed on the Site. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may limit certain features but will not prevent you from reading the Site’s content. We do not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals because there is no uniform industry standard for interpreting them.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate and maintain the Site — delivering pages, keeping the Site secure, and diagnosing technical problems.
- Respond to inquiries — replying to questions, comments, or requests you send us directly.
- Improve our content — understanding which topics readers find useful so we can expand and correct our articles over time.
- Measure and analyze traffic — using aggregated, largely anonymized statistics to understand audience size and behavior.
- Support advertising and, where applicable, referrals — including any optional connection to a third-party attorney, firm, or service that a visitor asks to be connected with.
- Comply with legal obligations — including responding to lawful requests from courts, regulators, or law enforcement.
We do not sell your personal information to data brokers, and we do not use anything you send us to give you individualized legal advice — we are not positioned to do so and this Site does not offer that service.
3. Disclosure of Information
We may share information in the limited circumstances below.
- Trusted service providers. We rely on third-party vendors — such as hosting companies, email providers, security services, and analytics platforms — to run the Site. These providers may process data on our behalf strictly to deliver their service and are not authorized to use it for their own independent purposes.
- Referrals and matching. If you voluntarily ask to be connected with a workers’ compensation attorney or other third-party professional, we may pass along the contact details you provided so that the third party can reach you directly. Once shared, that party’s own privacy practices govern the information — see Section 4 below.
- Legal requirements and protection of rights. We may disclose information when required by subpoena, court order, or statute, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of a person, investigate suspected fraud or abuse, enforce our Terms of Use, or defend the legal rights of Work Injury Answers.
- Business transfers. If the Site is ever sold, merged, or reorganized, visitor information may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to the commitments described in this policy.
4. Third-Party Websites & Advertisers
The Site links out to government resources, news coverage, and occasionally third-party legal or professional services, and it may display advertising served by outside ad networks. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we do not control and are not responsible for. Advertising partners and any embedded widgets may use their own cookies or tracking pixels to serve relevant ads or measure performance; we encourage you to review each third party’s privacy policy before sharing information with them or clicking through to their site. Any decision to contact, retain, or share information with a third-party attorney or firm is entirely your own, and the resulting relationship exists solely between you and that party.
5. Security of Your Information
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards — including encrypted connections, access controls, and routine software maintenance — designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. That said, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you provide information to us at your own risk. If you believe your information has been compromised through the Site, please contact us immediately using the details in Section 9.
6. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adults researching workers’ compensation issues and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and remove it.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be announced on the Site. Your continued use of the Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy, so we encourage you to review this page periodically.
