This Privacy Policy describes how BadContractorLaw.com, operated by Bay Legal PC ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to this website.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

When you submit a contact form on this website, we collect:

• First name and last name
• Email address
• Phone number
• A description of your legal situation
• Your preferred contact method
• The page of this website from which you submitted the form (collected automatically as a hidden field)

Submitting a contact form sends your information to Bay Legal PC and stores it in Bay Legal PC's client intake system. You are not required to submit any information to use this website for informational purposes.

Information Collected Automatically

This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to collect anonymized traffic data including page views, general geographic region, device type, and referral source. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not track individual users across sessions, and does not collect personally identifiable information. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other advertising tracking technologies on this website.

2. How We Use Your Information

Information you provide through contact forms is used solely to respond to your inquiry. Bay Legal PC may contact you by phone, email, or text message in response to a contact form submission. We do not use your contact information for advertising purposes unrelated to your inquiry.

Anonymized traffic data collected through Cloudflare Web Analytics is used to understand how visitors use this website and to improve its content. This data cannot be used to identify individual visitors.

3. Text Message Communications

If you authorize text messages by submitting a contact form on this website, Bay Legal PC may send you text messages related to your inquiry. These messages may be sent via automated technology. Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text message. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition for receiving legal services.

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, advertisers, or other law firms. Information submitted through contact forms is shared with Bay Legal PC and its intake management platform (Lawmatics) for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. These service providers are contractually required to protect your information and may not use it for their own purposes.

However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through this website.

7. Data Retention

Information submitted through contact forms is retained by Bay Legal PC in accordance with California State Bar rules governing client and prospective client records. If you do not become a client of Bay Legal PC, your inquiry information is retained for a reasonable period to document our intake process and then securely deleted.
