Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 11, 2025

At Media Matters in Lawsuits ("we," "us," or "our"), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website (www.MediaMattersLawsuits.com), use our services (e.g., press release writing, SEO optimization, and distribution for legal matters), or interact with us. We operate in compliance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable privacy laws.

 

1. Information We Collect

 

We collect information to provide and improve our services. This includes:

  • Personal Information: Provided voluntarily, such as your name, email address, phone number, billing details, and details about your legal matter (e.g., case summaries, court documents for press releases). This is collected when you submit inquiries, sign up for services, or make payments.

  • Automatically Collected Information: Usage data like IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and timestamps via cookies, log files, or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics). We use this for site functionality and performance.

  • Sensitive Information: In legal contexts, you may share details like case files or personal stories. We handle this with extra care but advise against sharing highly sensitive data (e.g., medical or financial records) unless necessary.

We do not collect information from children under 18 without parental consent.

 

2. How We Use Your Information

 

We use your information solely for legitimate business purposes under PIPEDA, including:

  • Processing and delivering services (e.g., drafting and distributing press releases).

  • Communicating with you (e.g., updates, invoices).

  • Improving our site and services (e.g., analytics).

  • Legal compliance (e.g., responding to subpoenas).

  • Marketing our services (with your consent; you can opt out anytime).

We limit collection to what is necessary and obtain consent where required.

 

3. How We Share Your Information

 

We do not sell your information. Sharing occurs only as needed:

  • Service Providers: Third parties like Newswire.ca for distribution, payment processors (e.g., Stripe), or SEO tools, bound by confidentiality agreements and PIPEDA-equivalent protections.

  • Legal Requirements: If compelled by law (e.g., court orders).

  • Business Transfers: In case of merger or sale, with notice to you.

No sharing with unaffiliated parties without consent.

 

4. Data Security and Retention

 

We use reasonable security measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to protect your information. However, no system is foolproof. We retain data only as long as needed for services or legal obligations (e.g., 7 years for financial records), then securely delete it.

 

5. Your Rights Under PIPEDA

 

You have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your information (contact us within 30 days).

  • Withdraw consent (may limit services).

  • Complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (OPC).

We respond to requests within 30 days.

 

6. Cookies and Tracking

 

Our site uses cookies for functionality. You can manage them via browser settings. We use third-party tools (e.g., Google Analytics) but anonymize data where possible.

 

7. Changes to This Policy

 

We may update this policy; changes are posted here with the effective date. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
