Lawyered Privacy Policy

Effective as of July 3, 2026

State Privacy Rights Notice: See the State privacy rights notice section below for important information about your rights under applicable state privacy laws.

Lawyered, LLC (“Lawyered,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a technology platform and online marketplace that connects individuals and businesses seeking legal services (“Clients”) with independent, licensed attorneys (“Attorneys”), and provides participating Attorneys with tools for marketing, client communication, and billing. This Privacy Policy describes how Lawyered processes personal information that we collect through our digital or online properties or services that link to this Privacy Policy (including, as applicable, our website at trylawyered.com, our mobile application, and our social media pages), as well as our marketing activities and other activities described in this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Service”).

Lawyered is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice or legal representation, and is not a lawyer referral service. Information you submit through the Service before you form an attorney-client relationship with an Attorney may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Please do not submit sensitive details about your legal matter through the Service until an Attorney you have engaged instructs you on how to communicate.

• •Contact data, such as your first and last name, email address, mailing address, professional title and firm name, and phone number.
• •Demographic data, such as your city, state, and postal code.
• •Profile data, such as the username and password that you may set to establish an online account on the Service, biographical details, photograph, language preferences, pricing preferences, and any other information that you add to your account profile.

Please include only the level of detail needed for an Attorney to evaluate your request, and see the confidentiality note above.

• •Communications data based on our exchanges with you, including when you contact us through the Service or communicate with other users through Platform messaging features. Messages you send to an Attorney or Client through the Service are visible to the recipient, and we maintain and process message data as described in this Privacy Policy.
• •Transactional data, such as information relating to Attorney subscription purchases, including order numbers and transaction history.
• •Marketing data, such as your preferences for receiving our marketing communications and details about your engagement with them.
• •User-generated content, such as reviews, ratings, comments, referrals and recommendations you submit, and other content or information that you generate, transmit, or otherwise make available on the Service, as well as associated metadata.
• •Relationship data, such as contact information for a friend you refer to the Service or an attorney you recommend, where you provide it.
• •Payment data needed to complete transactions. Payment card information is collected and processed directly by our payment processors, as described below.
• •Other data not specifically listed here, which we will use as described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise disclosed at the time of collection.

Third-party sources. We may combine personal information we receive from you with personal information falling within one of the categories identified above that we obtain from other sources, such as:

• •Public sources, such as state bar directories, court and attorney-registration records, and other publicly available sources, including to confirm Attorney licensure.
• •Service providers that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Service or our business.
• •Other users, such as when a Client recommends an attorney or refers a friend, or when an Attorney submits information about a prospective engagement.
• •Business transaction partners. We may receive personal information in connection with an actual or prospective business transaction. For example, we may receive your personal information from an entity we acquire or are acquired by, a successor, or assignee or any party involved in a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, and/or in the context of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership.

Automatic data collection. We, our service providers, and our business partners may automatically log information about you, your computer or mobile device, and your interaction over time with the Service, our communications, and other online services, such as:

• •Device data, such as your computer or mobile device’s operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, browser type, screen resolution, device type (e.g., phone, tablet), IP address, unique identifiers, language settings, and general location information such as city, state, or geographic area.
• •Online activity data, such as pages or screens you viewed, how long you spent on a page or screen, the website you visited before browsing to the Service, navigation paths between pages or screens, information about your activity on a page or screen, access times and duration of access, and whether you have opened our emails or clicked links within them.
• •Communication interaction data, such as your interactions with our email or other communications (e.g., whether you open and/or forward emails), which we may collect through pixel tags embedded in our emails.

Data about others. We may offer features that help users invite friends or contacts to use the Service, or recommend an attorney, and we may collect contact details about these individuals so we can deliver invitations. Please do not refer someone to us or share their contact details with us unless you have their permission to do so.

How your information is shared with Attorneys and other users

The core function of the Service is to connect Clients with Attorneys. Accordingly:

• • When a Client submits a legal request and chooses to contact an Attorney (or is matched with an Attorney and initiates contact), we share the Client’s intake information, including the Client’s name, contact information, location, practice-area selections, preferences, and free-text description, with that Attorney so the Attorney can evaluate and respond to the request.
• • When an Attorney accepts a request, the Client and Attorney can exchange messages through the Service, and each party will see the communications and profile information of the other.
• • Attorney profiles, including name, firm, practice areas, jurisdictions, languages, pricing arrangements, and other professional information Attorneys choose to include, are visible to Clients and may be visible to the public.
• • Reviews, ratings, and other content posted in public areas of the Service may be visible to other users and the public, and can be seen, collected, and used by others, including being cached, copied, or stored elsewhere (e.g., by search engines). We are not responsible for others’ use of information you make public.

We do not share Client intake information with Attorneys the Client has not chosen to contact, except in de-identified or aggregated form as described in this Privacy Policy. Once information is shared with an Attorney, that Attorney’s use of the information is subject to the Attorney’s own professional obligations; the Attorney’s handling of your information outside the Service is not governed by this Privacy Policy.

Cookies and other tracking technologies

Some of our automatic data collection is facilitated by cookies and similar technologies, such as:

• •Cookies, which are small text files that websites store on user devices, including cookies that are necessary for the Service to function (such as authentication and security cookies), cookies that remember your preferences, and analytics cookies that help us understand how the Service is used.
• •Local storage technologies that provide cookie-equivalent functionality.
• •Web beacons or pixels, which we may use in emails to tell whether messages were opened or links were clicked.

We use these technologies to operate and secure the Service, remember your selections, and analyze and improve the Service. We do not use cookies or other tracking technologies to serve interest-based (targeted) advertising, and we do not permit third parties to collect personal information through the Service for their own advertising purposes. For information about your choices with respect to these technologies, see the Your choices section below.

How we use your personal information

We may use your personal information for the following purposes or as otherwise described at the time of collection:

Service delivery and operations. We may use your personal information to:

• • provide the Service, including identifying Attorneys who may fit a Client’s stated criteria (such as location, practice area, language, and pricing preferences) and facilitating contact between Clients and Attorneys;
• • enable security features of the Service;
• • establish and maintain your user profile on the Service;
• • facilitate messaging and other communication features between Clients and Attorneys;
• • process Attorney subscription transactions;
• • facilitate your invitations to friends who you want to invite to join the Service and your attorney recommendations;
• • communicate with you about the Service, including by sending Service-related announcements, updates, security alerts, and support and administrative messages; and
• • provide support for the Service, and respond to your requests, questions, and feedback.

Automated matching. We use automated tools, including artificial intelligence services, to suggest Attorneys based on the criteria you provide, including a review of the practice areas, location, language, and pricing preferences you select and the text of your description. This may include processing the description of your legal matter through a third-party AI service provider to better understand your needs, rank suggested Attorneys, and prepare a summary of your inquiry for the Attorney you choose to contact. Matching suggestions are informational only; you decide which Attorney, if any, to contact, and no engagement is formed through matching. We do not use automated processing to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you.

Service personalization, which may include using your personal information to understand your needs and interests, personalize your experience with the Service and our Service-related communications, and remember your selections and preferences as you navigate the Service.

Service improvement and analytics. We may use your personal information to analyze your usage of the Service, improve the Service, improve the rest of our business, help us understand user activity on the Service, including which pages are most and least visited and how visitors move around the Service, as well as user interactions with our emails, and to develop new products and services.

Direct marketing. We may send you direct marketing communications about the Service and may personalize these messages based on your needs and interests. You may opt out of our marketing communications as described in the Your choices section below. We do not use your personal information for interest-based (targeted) advertising, and we do not sell your personal information or share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Compliance and protection. We may use your personal information to:

• • comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal process, such as to respond to subpoenas, investigations, or requests from government authorities;
• • protect our, your, or others’ rights, privacy, safety, or property (including by making and defending legal claims);
• • audit our internal processes for compliance with legal and contractual requirements or our internal policies;
• • enforce the terms and conditions that govern the Service; and
• • prevent, identify, investigate, and deter fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activity, including cyberattacks, identity theft, and misrepresentation of attorney credentials.

To create aggregated, de-identified, and/or anonymized data. We may create aggregated, de-identified, and/or anonymized data from your personal information and the personal information of other individuals whose personal information we collect. We make personal information into de-identified and/or anonymized data by removing information that makes the data identifiable to you, and we will not attempt to reidentify any such data. We may use this aggregated, de-identified, and/or anonymized data and share it with third parties for our lawful business purposes, including analyzing and improving the Service, understanding legal-services market trends, and promoting our business.

Further uses. In some cases, we may use your personal information for further uses, in which case we will ask for your consent to use your personal information for those further purposes if they are not compatible with the initial purpose for which the information was collected.

Retention

We generally retain personal information to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, establishing or defending legal claims, or for fraud prevention purposes. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we may consider factors such as the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

When we no longer require the personal information we have collected about you, we may either delete it, anonymize it, or isolate it from further processing.

How we share your personal information

We may share your personal information with the following parties (or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, in other applicable notices, or at the time of collection).

Attorneys and other users. As described in the section above titled How your information is shared with Attorneys and other users.

Service providers. Third parties that provide services on our behalf or help us operate the Service or our business (such as hosting, information technology, database and authentication services, customer support, email delivery, and website analytics). Service providers are permitted to use personal information only to provide services to us.

Payment processors. Any payment card information you use to make a purchase on the Service is collected and processed directly by our payment processors, such as Stripe. Stripe may use your payment data in accordance with its privacy policy, https://stripe.com/privacy.

Professional advisors. Professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, bankers, and insurers, in the course of the professional services that they render to us.

Authorities and others. Law enforcement, government authorities, and private parties, as we believe in good faith to be necessary or appropriate for the Compliance and protection purposes described above.

Business transferees. We may disclose personal information in the context of actual or prospective business transactions (e.g., investments in Lawyered, financing of Lawyered, or the sale, transfer, or merger of all or part of our business, assets, or interests). For example, we may need to share certain personal information with prospective counterparties and their advisers. We may also disclose your personal information to an acquirer, successor, or assignee of Lawyered as part of any merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, and/or in the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which personal information is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business assets.

Third parties designated by you. We may share your personal information with third parties where you have instructed us or provided your consent to do so.

Cookies. Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies through browser settings.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals or the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal to the online services that you visit. Because we do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising, there is no sale or sharing for these signals to opt you out of; to the extent applicable law treats such a signal as a valid opt-out request, we will honor it.

Other sites and services

The Service may contain links to websites, mobile applications, and other online services operated by third parties, including Attorney and law firm websites. In addition, our content may be integrated into web pages or other online services that are not associated with us.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the other websites, mobile applications, and online services you use.

Children

The Service is not intended for use by anyone under 18 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian of a child from whom you believe we have collected personal information in a manner prohibited by law, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information through the Service from a child without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian as required by law, we will comply with applicable legal requirements to delete the information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time.

State privacy rights notice

Except as otherwise provided, this section applies to residents of U.S. states to the extent they have privacy laws applicable to us that grant their residents the rights described below (collectively, the “State Privacy Laws”).

This section describes how we collect, use, and share Personal Information of residents of these states and the rights these users may have with respect to their Personal Information. Please note that not all rights listed below may be afforded to all users, and if you are not a resident of one of the applicable states, you may not be able to exercise these rights. In addition, we may not be able to process your request if you do not provide us with sufficient detail to allow us to confirm your identity or understand and respond to it. To verify your identity, we will ask you to submit your request from, or confirm, the email address associated with your account, and we may request additional information reasonably necessary to confirm your identity.

For purposes of this section, the term “Personal Information” has the meaning given to “personal data,” “personal information,” or other similar terms, and “Sensitive Personal Information” has the meaning given to “sensitive personal information,” “sensitive data,” or other similar terms in the State Privacy Laws, except that in neither case does such term include information exempted from the scope of the State Privacy Laws.

Your privacy rights. The State Privacy Laws may provide residents with some or all of the rights listed below. However, these rights are not absolute, and some State Privacy Laws do not provide these rights to their residents. Therefore, we may decline your request in certain cases as permitted by law.

• •Information. You can request the following information about how we have collected and used your Personal Information: the categories of Personal Information that we have collected; the categories of sources from which we collected Personal Information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting Personal Information; the categories of third parties with which we share Personal Information; and the categories of Personal Information that we sold or disclosed for a business purpose and the categories of third parties to whom it was sold or disclosed.
• •Access. You can request a copy of the Personal Information that we have collected about you.
• •Appeal. You can appeal our denial of any request validly submitted.
• •Correction. You can ask us to correct inaccurate Personal Information that we have collected about you.
• •Deletion. You can ask us to delete the Personal Information that we have collected from you.
• •Opt-out of targeted advertising. We do not process your Personal Information for targeted advertising purposes.
• •Opt-out of or appeal profiling/automated decision-making. We use automated tools to suggest Attorneys based on the criteria you provide, as described above; you decide whom, if anyone, to contact. We do not use your Personal Information to engage in profiling or to perform automated decision-making that results in significant financial impacts, significant impacts on housing, education, employment, health care, or criminal justice, or similarly significant impacts.
• •Opt-out of sales of personal data. We do not sell your Personal Information within the meaning of the State Privacy Laws.
• •Consumers under 16. We do not have actual knowledge that we collect, sell, or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
• •Sensitive Personal Information. Information you voluntarily include in your legal request or communications (for example, a description that reveals information about health, immigration status, or alleged criminal conduct) may constitute Sensitive Personal Information under certain State Privacy Laws. We process such information only to provide the Service you request, including sharing it with the Attorneys you choose to contact, and for the compliance and protection purposes described above. We do not process Sensitive Personal Information for the purpose of inferring characteristics about consumers, and we do not sell it or share it for targeted advertising.
• •Nondiscrimination. You are entitled to exercise the rights described above free from discrimination as prohibited by the State Privacy Laws.

Exercising your rights. You may submit requests to exercise any of the state privacy rights listed above by emailing support@trylawyered.com, or, where available, through the privacy settings in your account. Because we do not sell Personal Information or share it for targeted advertising, no sale/sharing opt-out request is necessary; if we detect a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request to the extent required by applicable law.

Verification of identity; authorized agents. We may need to verify your identity in order to process your information, access, appeal, correction, or deletion requests, and we reserve the right to confirm your residency. To verify your identity, we may require confirmation of the email address associated with your account, a declaration under penalty of perjury, or other information, where permitted by law. Under some State Privacy Laws, you may enable an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. However, we may need to verify your authorized agent’s identity and authority to act on your behalf. We may require a copy of a valid power of attorney given to your authorized agent pursuant to applicable law. If you have not provided your agent with such a power of attorney, we may ask you to take additional steps permitted by law to verify that your request is authorized.
