Privacy Policy | Michael Brook Attorney Referral NY & NJ

Oct 15th, 2026

Michael Brook Attorney Referral (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit our website or communicate with us.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

Name
Email address
Phone number
Information submitted through contact forms
Communications you send to us
Technical data such as IP address and browser type

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

Respond to inquiries
Provide attorney referral information
Improve our website and services
Send requested communications
Send SMS messages if you have provided consent

We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not rent it to third parties. We may “share” information about your visit, such as online identifiers and the pages you view, with advertising partners such as Google for cross-context behavioral advertising, as defined by California law. You can opt out with the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of every page or in the cookie banner, and we honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.

SMS Communications

We collect two separate and independent SMS consents on our website contact form. Each has its own checkbox, each is unchecked by default, and each is optional. Checking one does not check or imply the other.

1. Informational and transactional SMS consent. If you check the informational SMS consent box, you consent to receive informational SMS text messages from Michael Brook Attorney Referral at the mobile number you provide. These messages may include:

Inquiry confirmations
Consultation scheduling and reminders
Status updates on your request
Support replies

2. Marketing and promotional SMS consent. Marketing consent is collected separately through its own distinct checkbox and is never bundled with informational consent or with any other agreement. If you check the marketing SMS consent box, you consent to receive marketing and promotional SMS text messages from Michael Brook Attorney Referral at the mobile number you provide. These messages may include:

Educational legal content and blog updates
Firm announcements
Review requests
Holiday greetings and seasonal messages
Special offers and promotional communications

If you provide informational SMS consent only, you will not receive any marketing or promotional SMS messages.

For both consent types: message frequency varies (up to 4 messages per month). Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. For assistance, reply HELP or contact us through our website. Neither SMS consent is a condition of receiving any service.

Your mobile phone number and SMS opt-in consent are used solely by Michael Brook Attorney Referral to communicate with you. We do not share, sell, rent, or otherwise disclose mobile phone numbers or SMS consent information to any third party — including any referred or partner attorney — for any purpose. Mobile opt-in data and consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates.

Attorney Referrals

If you ask us to refer you to an attorney, we will share your contact details with that attorney only after you provide explicit, separate authorization to do so. This referral authorization is distinct from your SMS opt-in: it is a separate agreement, and it does not include or transfer your SMS consent or your mobile number for messaging purposes.

Information Sharing

We may share information:

With service providers who assist in operating our business
If required by law
To protect legal rights or comply with legal obligations
With a referred attorney, only after your explicit, separate authorization as described above

We do not share mobile phone numbers or SMS opt-in consent information with any third party for any purpose.

Session Recording (Microsoft Clarity)

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our website, through heatmaps and session recordings of interactions such as clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement. All page text, form fields, and other inputs are masked, so their contents are not recorded. Clarity data is processed by Microsoft in accordance with the Microsoft Privacy Statement and the Microsoft Clarity Terms of Use, linked below. Clarity sets the cookies _clck and _clsk on our website and the cookie CLID on clarity.ms.

Clarity, like the other analytics and advertising tools on our website, runs unless you opt out. You may opt out by rejecting the Analytics category in the cookie banner or in the cookie settings opened by the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link at the bottom of every page, or automatically by enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland are asked for consent first, and nothing is loaded until they accept. Opting out stops recording and deletes the Clarity cookies set on our website.

Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect personal information. However, no online transmission is 100% secure.

Your Rights

You may:

Request access to your personal information
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion where legally permitted

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page.
