Last Updated: July 6, 2026
NY Work Claim (“NY Work Claim,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes educational content that walks New York workers through the steps of a work injury claim. This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather when you visit nyworkclaim.com (the “Site”), how we use and share it, and the choices available to you. By browsing the Site, submitting a form, or otherwise interacting with our content, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree with this Policy, please discontinue use of the Site.
A. No Legal Advice; General Disclaimer
Before continuing, understand that NY Work Claim is not a law firm and this Policy is not a substitute for legal counsel. Nothing on the Site, including any communication you send us, creates an attorney-client relationship or any professional duty of care. We provide this Policy purely to describe our data practices; it does not modify the educational, non-representative nature of the Site described in our Terms of Use and Disclaimer.
B. Information We Collect
We collect information in two general categories: what you choose to give us, and what your device shares automatically as you browse.
1. Information You Voluntarily Provide
Certain areas of the Site invite you to submit information on your own initiative, such as a contact form, a newsletter sign-up, or a request to be connected with an independent attorney or claims professional. Depending on the feature you use, this may include:
- Contact details: your name, email address, phone number, and mailing city or ZIP code.
- Case background: general facts about your workplace injury or claim status that you choose to describe in a message or intake form.
- Correspondence: any additional details you include when you email us or reply to a message from us.
You are never required to submit this information to read our guides. Fields are voluntary, and you may decline to provide any detail you consider sensitive.
2. Automatic and Derivative Information
Like nearly every website, the Site and its hosting and analytics providers automatically log certain technical data each time you visit, including:
- Network identifiers: your IP address and approximate geographic location derived from it.
- Device and software details: browser type and version, operating system, screen size, and device type.
- Visit timestamps: the date and time of each page request and how long you remain on a page.
- Referring and exit pages: the URL that directed you to the Site and the page or link you used to leave it.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files or local storage entries that help us recognize repeat visits, remember preferences, and measure aggregate traffic patterns.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may limit certain Site features but will not prevent you from reading our published guides.
C. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
- Responding to you: answering questions submitted through our contact form and any follow-up correspondence.
- Operating and securing the Site: diagnosing technical issues, monitoring for abuse, and keeping our infrastructure stable.
- Improving our content: understanding which guides readers find useful so we can refine, expand, or correct our library of articles.
- Facilitating a referral, if requested: when you affirmatively ask to be connected with an independent attorney or claims professional, forwarding the details you supplied so that professional can follow up with you directly.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
D. Disclosure of Information
We disclose information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: vendors that host our Site, send our email, or analyze traffic on our behalf, each of whom is limited to using the data to perform services for us.
- Voluntary referrals and matching: where you have asked us to connect you with an independent attorney or claims professional, we share the intake details you provided with that party so they may contact you; that party’s own privacy practices then govern their handling of your information.
- Legal process and protection of rights: where disclosure is required by subpoena, court order, or applicable law, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, investigate fraud, or ensure the safety of our users or the public.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of some or all of our assets, in which case information may be transferred to the successor entity subject to this Policy or a materially similar one.
E. Third-Party Sites and Advertisers
Our guides frequently link to the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board, court resources, or other third-party organizations for reference. We may also display advertising served by third-party networks. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, over which we have no control and for which we accept no responsibility. We encourage you to review the privacy practices of any external site before sharing information with it. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver ads based on your visits to this and other sites; you can typically manage these preferences through the ad network’s own opt-out tools or your browser settings.
F. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect the information we hold from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of electronic transmission or storage, however, is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You submit information to us at your own risk, and we encourage you to avoid including highly sensitive details, such as Social Security numbers, in any message sent through the Site.
G. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adult readers dealing with workplace injury 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 using the details below.
H. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, our content, or applicable law. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the current version took effect. Continued use of the Site after a revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy, so we encourage you to review this page from time to time.
