Privacy Policy

Account information: your name, email address, phone number, firm name, office city and state, jurisdictions of admission, bar numbers, practice areas, professional photograph, and the categories or recognition you choose to display.

Platform activity: referrals you send or receive, messages exchanged through case activity, documents you upload, agreements you sign, fee calculations, and notification preferences.

Technical information: IP address, browser type, and timestamps recorded when you accept the Terms of Service and the Referral Agreement Terms, retained as evidence of consent.

Your email address and phone number are never displayed to other attorneys — not on your public profile, not in the member directory, not in search results, and not in any application response returned to another user. They are stored in restricted fields that only compliance administrators may read, and are used only for account administration, license verification, and service notices.

All communication between attorneys about a matter happens inside the platform, through the referral record and its message thread.

Case summaries posted to the network are anonymized. Full client details are collected only after a receiving attorney accepts a referral, are visible only to the two attorneys on that referral and to compliance administrators, and are transmitted over encrypted connections.

Where the rules of a jurisdiction require written client consent to a referral or a division of fees, that consent is confirmed in the referral agreement and the signed record is retained.

To operate the network: matching referrals to attorneys, sending transactional notifications, calculating fee splits, generating agreements, and maintaining an audit trail.

To verify licenses and prevent fraud. To comply with legal process. To enforce our Terms. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your information for third-party advertising.

We share information with service providers who process it on our behalf under contract — for email delivery, payment processing, document storage, and error monitoring. We may disclose information where required by law, subpoena, or bar disciplinary authority.

Referral records, signed agreements, fee calculations, and audit entries are retained for the period required by applicable professional-conduct record-keeping rules, which may exceed seven years. You may close your account at any time; closing it removes your profile from the directory but does not delete records we are required to keep.

Access to records is enforced at the data layer, not only in the interface: each referral is readable only by its two parties and by compliance administrators. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

You may update your profile, change your notification preferences, export your data, or close your account from the Account page. To exercise any other right under applicable privacy law, contact info@lawyerreferral.network.
