Privacy Policy

Work Injury Specialists is an editorial resource covering workers compensation, personal injury, and workplace safety law. This policy describes how we handle data about visitors to our site. The short version: we collect very little, we don’t sell anything to anyone, and we don’t run behavioral advertising. The long version follows.

What we collect automatically

Like every website, our hosting provider logs basic request data: IP address, user agent string, page requested, timestamp, and referrer. These logs are used for operational purposes — identifying technical problems, measuring traffic patterns, investigating abuse — and are typically retained for 30 days before being rotated out. We do not use this data to build profiles of individual visitors.

We use Cloudflare as a content delivery network and reverse proxy, which means Cloudflare processes visitor requests before they reach our origin server. Cloudflare’s privacy practices are described in its own policy and include security-focused data handling that is standard for CDN services.

What we don’t do

We don’t run behavioral advertising, retargeting pixels, Facebook Pixel, Google Ads conversion tracking, or any other advertising-driven tracking. We don’t use third-party analytics that profile individual users. We don’t sell data to data brokers. We don’t share visitor lists with partners. If you see advertising on our site, it’s contextually placed rather than behaviorally targeted, and it doesn’t require individualized tracking.

Contact forms and email

When you email us at any of the addresses listed on our contact page, your email is received and processed using standard email infrastructure. We retain correspondence related to substantive inquiries (corrections, source submissions, press) for editorial record-keeping. Casual reader questions are typically answered and then archived without ongoing retention beyond the mail server’s automated retention.

We don’t use email addresses for anything other than responding to the specific inquiry. We don’t add emails to mailing lists without explicit consent. We don’t share email addresses with sponsors, advertisers, or any third party.

Cookies

Our site uses minimal cookies. A small operational cookie may be set by Cloudflare for security purposes (bot detection, DDoS protection). We do not set our own analytics cookies, tracking cookies, or session cookies. Visitors browsing the site without interacting with forms should see essentially no first-party cookies from us.

Third-party services

Our site loads a small number of third-party resources — primarily web fonts (Google Fonts) and the occasional embedded content. These loads may result in third-party requests from your browser, which are governed by the respective third parties’ privacy policies. We minimize third-party loads intentionally. No third-party analytics, advertising networks, or social-media widgets are embedded in the site.

Your rights

If you’re located in a jurisdiction with specific privacy rights (the EU under GDPR, California under CCPA, and similar regimes), those rights apply to any personal data we may have about you. In practice, because we collect so little, the practical exercise of these rights is simple: email us and we’ll confirm what (if anything) we have and delete it at your request. Requests typically resolve within a few business days.

Children

This site is intended for adult audiences navigating workplace injury matters. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you become aware that a minor has submitted information to us, email our editorial team and we’ll promptly remove it.

Policy updates

We update this policy as needed. Substantive changes are dated at the top of the policy and announced in the next regular editorial update. If you have questions about any specific provision, email our editorial team via the contact page.
