Comp Claim Helper (“we,” “us,” or “our”) publishes educational content about disputing, appealing, and pushing back on New York workers’ compensation insurer decisions. This Privacy Policy explains what information we gather when you visit compclaimhelper.com (the “Site”), how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the Site, you accept the practices described below. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the Site.
1. This Policy Is Not Legal Advice
Nothing in this Policy, or anywhere else on the Site, is a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney or insurance professional about your specific claim. We describe our data practices here for transparency purposes only, and no part of this document creates a professional relationship, a duty of care, or any liability toward you or your workers’ compensation matter.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in two ways: data you choose to give us, and data our systems record automatically.
(a) Information You Provide Voluntarily
If you contact us, subscribe to a newsletter, comment on an article, or fill out a form connecting you with a claims advocate or attorney, you may give us details such as your name, email address, phone number, a short description of your claim situation, and any other facts you decide to share. You control what you submit — do not include sensitive medical records, Social Security numbers, or other highly sensitive material in a general contact form.
(b) Information Collected Automatically
Like nearly every website, our servers and analytics tools log certain technical details each time you visit, including:
- (a) Your IP address and approximate geographic location.
- (b) Your browser type, device type, and operating system.
- (c) The date and time of your visit, and how long you stayed on a given page.
- (d) The page that referred you to us and the page you exited to.
- (e) Search terms used to locate the Site, where available.
This automatic log data is generally aggregated and does not by itself identify you as an individual, though it can sometimes be combined with other data to do so.
(c) Cookies and Similar Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, and comparable tracking tools to remember your preferences, understand which articles are useful, and measure traffic patterns across the Site. Some of these tools are placed by third-party analytics or advertising vendors rather than by us directly. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may limit some Site functionality but will not prevent you from reading our content.
3. How We Use Information
We put the information described above to a limited set of uses:
- (a) Operating and improving the Site — diagnosing errors, understanding which guides readers actually use, and deciding what to write about next.
- (b) Responding to you — answering questions you send us and, where you have asked, connecting you with an independent attorney or claims professional.
- (c) Security and abuse prevention — spotting bot traffic, scraping attempts, and other misuse of the Site.
- (d) Advertising measurement — helping third-party ad networks understand which ads are relevant and effective, subject to their own policies.
We do not sell your personal contact details to data brokers, and we do not use your submissions to make decisions about your workers’ compensation claim — that decision remains entirely between you, the insurance carrier, and any professional you choose to hire.
4. When We Disclose Information
We disclose information only in the following circumstances:
- (a) Service providers. We share data with hosting companies, email platforms, and analytics vendors who perform work on our behalf and are bound to use it only for that purpose.
- (b) Voluntary referrals. If you ask to be connected with an attorney, advocate, or other third-party professional, we pass along the details you provided so that party can reach you. That party’s own privacy practices govern from that point forward.
- (c) Legal process and protection of rights. We may disclose information when required by subpoena, court order, or law, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, our users, or the public from harm or fraud.
- (d) Business transfers. If the Site is sold, merged, or reorganized, information may transfer to the successor entity as part of that transaction.
5. Third-Party Sites and Advertisers
Our articles link out to insurer portals, New York State agencies, attorney directories, and other outside resources. Once you click a link away from compclaimhelper.com, that site’s own privacy policy applies — we have no control over, and no responsibility for, what those third parties do with your data. Advertising partners that place ads on the Site may also use their own cookies and tracking pixels; we do not control the content of those ads or the data practices behind them.
6. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information stored on our systems, including encrypted connections and restricted access to submission data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse of your data.
7. Children’s Privacy
The Site is intended for adults dealing with their own or a family member’s workers’ compensation matter. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 13. If we learn that a child under 13 has submitted personal information to us, we will delete it promptly. Parents who believe their child has provided data to us should contact us using the details below.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically as our practices, tools, or legal obligations evolve. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continuing to use the Site after a change is posted means you accept the revised terms.
