Privacy & Data Handling

What is recorded when you read the site?

Anonymous page views, and deliberately little else. The site uses a product-analytics tool to count which pages are opened, so that effort goes to the pages people actually use. It is configured to collect as little as will answer that question: session recording is disabled, so no replay of your visit exists; autocapture is disabled, so clicks, keystrokes and anything typed into a form are not collected; and page-leave tracking and on-site surveys are off. A cookie is set so a returning browser is not counted twice. No account is required to read anything, nothing you read is tied to your name, and there are no advertising or retargeting trackers, so there is no audience profile to sell and none is sold.

• The only external addresses in a page are links you can see, such as a statute on the official U.S. Code site.
• Analytics answer which pages are used. They are not used to build a profile of an individual reader, and nothing is shared with advertisers.

What happens to a conversation with the assistant?

It stays on your device. The transcript is written to your browser's local storage so that a refresh or an accidentally closed tab does not lose it, kept for seven days, and cleared by a control in the assistant's own header — a shared or family computer is an ordinary situation here, not an edge case. It is not written to a server database, there is no administrative view of conversations, and there is nothing to hand to a law firm. The pages you looked at before opening the assistant are held only for the current browser tab and disappear when it closes.

• To produce a reply, the messages in the conversation are sent to the AI provider through a managed gateway, as any AI assistant must; they are not retained by this site.
• The field that could have carried a transcript into a firm introduction was removed rather than left unused.

What is stored if you ask for an attorney introduction?

Only what an introduction needs: your name and the contact details you enter, the location you gave, your roadmap and an intake summary — plus a record of the consent you gave, stored with the exact wording you were shown. Consent is unbundled rather than bulk-accepted: agreeing to contact by phone and email is separate from agreeing to automated calls, prerecorded messages or texts, and declining the second changes only which channels can be used. Nothing about the introduction depends on accepting it. Your conversation with the assistant is not part of the record and is not sent.

How is consent recorded?

By storing the exact text you were shown rather than a description of it. The disclosure wording is a fixed, versioned constant; your browser submits the version identifier, and the server re-renders that same wording from the same source the page used to display it. That means the record cannot drift from what was on your screen, and no submitted data can inject different language into your record. The consent record itself is write-only from the site's side: it can be added to but not read back through the public interface, which is what an audit record should be.

• Published disclosure wording is never edited in place; a change creates a new version, so old records still show what those people actually agreed to.
• Each channel agreement is stored as its own record rather than as one combined flag.

What about email and the attorney dashboard?

Email is used for one thing on the consumer side: sending an introduction to a firm when you have asked for one, through a transactional email provider. Marketing email is not sent to consumers from this site. Separately, participating law firms sign in to a dashboard, and that sign-in uses session cookies as any authenticated area must — those exist only for firms who have an account and are not set for consumers reading the site. Requests for access to or deletion of information you submitted can be sent to antonio@bankruptcy.law.

• Introduction emails are sent to the firm and to the site's founder; they carry the intake material described above and no transcript.
• To date no consumer records have been created through the introduction form.

Frequently asked questions

Will anyone know I visited this site?

Not in any way that identifies you. Reading requires no account, and the analytics that run count page views rather than people — with session recording and autocapture switched off, so there is no replay of your visit and nothing you type is collected. There are no advertising trackers, so nothing is shared with an ad network. If you use the assistant, the conversation stays in your browser, and information reaches a law firm only if you complete the introduction form and consent to being contacted.

How do I delete my conversation with the assistant?

Use the clear control in the assistant panel's header, which removes the stored transcript from your browser immediately. It also expires on its own after seven days. Because the conversation is not stored on a server, clearing it in the browser removes it.

Do you sell or share personal information?

No. There are no advertising or retargeting trackers on the site to share browsing data through, and information you submit is used to make the introduction you asked for. Participating law firms pay for county placement in the directory, not for data.

Is a conversation with the assistant confidential or privileged?

No — Bankruptcy.law is not a law firm, so nothing here is protected by attorney-client privilege. That is precisely why conversations are kept in your browser rather than on a server: the safest place for an unprivileged record of your situation is your own device, where you control it.
