Privacy Policy

Effective: June 2026 Last Revised: June 2026 Domain: bankrupt-law.com

01 — Overview

About this policy

The Law Offices of Lauren Ross ("we," "us," or "our") operates this website at bankrupt-law.com. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit the site or submit a form, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding that information.

We take privacy seriously — especially because many visitors are navigating a difficult financial situation. We handle every piece of information you share with the same discretion we bring to our legal practice. If you have questions not answered here, please contact us directly at lauren@laurenross.com.

02 — Data Collection

Information we collect

We collect information in two ways: directly through our forms, and limited technical data collected automatically when you visit the site. You are never required to submit a form to browse this website — all submissions are voluntary.

Contact Form

Free Consultation Request

Name, phone number, email address, and any details you include in your message when requesting a free consultation.

Client Interview Sheet

Pre-Consultation Intake

Personal and spouse details, prior bankruptcy history, real estate, vehicles, retirement accounts, business interests, income, and debt information including IRS and FTB obligations.

Full Client Intake Forms

Comprehensive Financial Profile

A complete financial profile: income history, household inventory, monthly budget, statement of affairs, and signature certification — the equivalent of a full attorney intake packet.

Automatically Collected

Technical & Usage Data

IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL — collected by our web host's server logs. We do not use analytics tracking scripts or advertising pixels.

03 — Use of Information

How we use your information

We use the information you submit solely to provide legal services and communicate with you. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes, and we do not use your information to send unsolicited communications.

Specifically, we use collected information to:

Respond to your request for a free consultation
Prepare for and conduct your attorney consultation
Evaluate your bankruptcy eligibility and applicable California exemptions
Communicate with you about your matter via phone or email
Comply with legal and professional obligations applicable to a California licensed attorney

We do not sell your data. Your personal and financial information is used exclusively to evaluate your legal situation and provide representation. It is never shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any third party for commercial purposes.

04 — Confidentiality

Attorney-client privilege & confidentiality

Submitting a form does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship. A formal relationship is established only when both parties agree in writing to the representation.

That said, we treat all information shared through our intake forms as confidential. Lauren Ross, as a licensed California attorney (State Bar No. 106225), has professional and ethical obligations under the California Rules of Professional Conduct to protect information shared with her office in the context of a potential representation.

If you become a client, all communications and documents exchanged in connection with your legal matter are protected by the attorney-client privilege under California Evidence Code § 950 et seq.

05 — Third Parties

Third-party services we use

We use a small number of third-party services to operate this website. When you interact with these features, those providers may receive certain information as described below.

06 — Your Rights

California privacy rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives California residents specific rights over their personal information. Because this is a law firm serving California residents exclusively, these rights apply to all of our visitors.

Right to Know

You may request a summary of the personal information we have collected about you, how it has been used, and with whom it has been shared.

Right to Delete

You may ask us to delete personal information we hold about you, subject to exceptions for active legal matters and attorney professional obligations.

Right to Correct

You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information we maintain about you.

Right to Opt Out

We do not sell your personal information. There is nothing to opt out of — but you may contact us at any time to confirm this in writing.

Right to Non-Discrimination

Exercising any of these rights will never affect the quality of service or legal advice you receive from our office.

Sensitive Information

Financial data collected through our intake forms is treated as sensitive personal information and used only for legal representation — never for any other purpose.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 11. We will respond within 45 days as required by California law.

07 — Data Security

How we protect your information

All pages on bankrupt-law.com are served over HTTPS, encrypting data in transit between your browser and our servers. Form submissions are transmitted via Formspree using encrypted connections and delivered to a secured email account accessible only to our office.

No method of electronic transmission is 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have concerns about transmitting sensitive financial details electronically, you are welcome to contact us by phone instead.

HTTPS Encrypted No Ad Tracking Data Not Sold

08 — Data Retention

How long we keep your information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by California law and the Rules of Professional Conduct governing attorneys.

Consultation requests not followed by engagement are retained for a reasonable period to document conflict-of-interest records, then securely deleted.
Active client files are retained for a minimum of five years following the close of a matter, consistent with California State Bar guidance.
Server logs are retained by MIS Sciences Corporation pursuant to their standard hosting policies.

10 — Policy Updates

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page. Changes take effect when posted. We encourage you to review this page periodically if you use our forms regularly.

Continued use of this website after a posted update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
