Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Abronson Law Offices (“Abronson Law Offices,” “we,” “us,” “our”) operates redhouselawyer.com (the “Website”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain information when you visit the Website or contact us through it.

Last Updated: February 17, 2026

1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Website and related communications you initiate through the Website (such as contact forms and emails initiated from the Website).

This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites that may link to or from our Website.

2. Important Notice About Communications and Medical Information
Contacting Abronson Law Offices through this Website, email, or any online form does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only after we complete a conflicts check and confirm representation in writing, typically through a signed agreement.

Please do not send confidential, privileged, sensitive medical information, or time-sensitive information through the Website. Online communications can be insecure. If you need to send medical records, we can provide a secure method for document delivery once representation is confirmed or as otherwise appropriate.

3. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide to Us
When you contact us or submit information through the Website, we may collect:
• Identifiers and contact details (name, email address, phone number, mailing address)
• Inquiry and case-related details you choose to provide (incident description, date/location of incident, parties involved, and related information)
• Documents or images you choose to upload or attach (if the Website allows uploads)

B. Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit the Website, we may collect:
• Internet or network activity information (pages viewed, links clicked, time spent, referring/exit pages)
• Device and browser information (IP address, browser type, device type, operating system)
• General location information derived from your IP address (city/state level)

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to:
• Operate the Website and maintain functionality
• Understand Website traffic and performance
• Improve content and user experience
• Support security and prevent misuse

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some Website features may not function as intended if cookies are disabled.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals. The Website may not respond to every “Do Not Track” signal.

If you use a browser or device setting that sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined under California law, where applicable.

5. Medical Information, PHI, HIPAA, and California Medical Privacy

A. Medical Information We May Receive
In personal injury matters, we may collect, receive, store, and use medical information such as:
• Medical records and bills
• Diagnoses, treatment notes, imaging reports, prescriptions, and referrals
• Provider and facility information
• Health insurance information relevant to claims, billing, liens, or reimbursement
• Records related to damages, future care planning, and settlement evaluation

This information may be received from you, healthcare providers, insurance carriers, third-party record vendors, experts, opposing parties, and courts.

B. HIPAA Status and Business Associate Language
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) applies to certain healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses (“Covered Entities”), and to their “Business Associates” when Business Associates perform functions for a Covered Entity involving Protected Health Information (“PHI”).

Abronson Law Offices is a law firm and is generally not a HIPAA Covered Entity. In certain circumstances, Abronson Law Offices may receive PHI from a Covered Entity and may be asked to execute a Business Associate Agreement (“BAA”) or comply with Business Associate obligations for a limited purpose connected to services provided to or on behalf of a Covered Entity. When we sign a BAA, we will use, safeguard, and disclose PHI consistent with the BAA and applicable law.

C. California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) and Related Laws
California medical privacy laws, including the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (“CMIA”), may apply to certain medical information we receive or maintain. We handle medical information with confidentiality safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information and consistent with applicable law, court rules, and professional obligations.

D. How We Use and Disclose Medical Information
We may use and disclose medical information, including PHI when applicable, for purposes such as:
• Evaluating representation and performing conflict checks
• Investigating claims, proving liability and damages, and preparing pleadings and discovery
• Requesting, organizing, and reviewing medical records and billing
• Communicating with you, providers, insurers, experts, vendors, opposing parties, and the court as needed to pursue your legal matter
• Negotiating settlement, preparing demands, and addressing liens and reimbursement
• Complying with legal obligations, subpoenas, court orders, and litigation requirements
• Maintaining required business and case records

Disclosures may occur with your authorization, as permitted or required by law, pursuant to court process, and as reasonably necessary to provide legal services.

E. Website Submissions and PHI
The Website is not intended for transmission of extensive medical records or highly sensitive medical details. If you submit medical information through the Website, we will use it to respond to your inquiry and evaluate next steps, and we may request that you resend documents through a more secure method.

6. How We Use Information
We may use information for the following purposes:
   • To respond to inquiries and communicate with you
   • To evaluate whether we may be able to assist with a legal matter, including conflict checks
   • To operate, maintain, and improve the Website

   • To comply with legal obligations, enforce policies, and protect rights and safety

7. How We Disclose Information

A. Service Providers and Contractors

B. Vendors That Help Us Handle Medical Records
We may use third-party vendors for services such as medical record retrieval, document management, secure file transfer, litigation support, expert coordination, and IT support. These vendors are engaged to perform services on our behalf and are expected to safeguard information consistent with contractual obligations and applicable law. When a BAA is required for a specific workflow, we will address that through the appropriate agreement.

C. Legal and Compliance Disclosures

8. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information (California)

   • Enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser or device settings

You may also submit an opt-out request using the contact methods in Section 13.

We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of minors under 16.

9. Sensitive Personal Information
We do not request sensitive personal information through the Website. If you choose to provide sensitive information (including medical details), we will use it for purposes connected to your inquiry, evaluation of representation, and legal services if we represent you, along with security, compliance, and recordkeeping needs.

10. Data Retention
We retain information, including medical information, as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including case handling, recordkeeping, audits, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes. Retention periods may be governed by professional responsibility rules, court rules, client agreements, and applicable law.

11. Security of Personal Information and Medical Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information and medical information. Safeguards may include access controls, role-based permissions, staff training, secure storage practices, and vendor management practices for third parties who handle information on our behalf.

No method of transmission over the internet and no storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, avoid sending medical records through Website forms and request a secure delivery method when needed.
