Scope
This Privacy Policy describes how Casetimator™, a product of LawSHIFT, Inc. ("LawShift," "we," "us"), collects, uses, and shares information when you use the Casetimator service at casetimator.com or any related domains (the "Service").
By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
The short version: We collect only what's necessary to give you a meaningful case estimate. We don't sell your information. We don't use it for advertising. We don't trade it. We share it with attorneys only if you explicitly ask us to.
Information we collect
Information you provide directly

- Email address — only if you choose to receive your Casetimate by email
- Optional contact information — name and phone number if you opt to be connected with an attorney through the Service
- Communications — anything you send us by email or contact form
Information collected automatically
- Device and browser information (device type, operating system, browser type, language)
- Approximate location (state or region only — never precise location)
- IP address
- Pages visited and actions taken on the Service
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Cookies & tracking)
How we use information
We use the information you provide to:
- Generate your case value estimate (Casetimate™)
- Send you your Casetimate by email if you've provided one
- Send you the "What matters from here" take-with-you guide
- Improve the accuracy and quality of our model
- Communicate with you about the Service if you reach out

We do not use your information to build advertising profiles, to retarget you across the internet, or to sell to third parties for any purpose.
How we share information
We do not sell your information. We do not trade it. We do not use it for advertising.
We share your information only in these limited circumstances:
- With your explicit consent — if you opt to be connected with a personal injury attorney, we share only the information you authorize, and only with attorneys you've opted into.
- With service providers — encrypted hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers that help us operate the Service. These providers are bound by confidentiality and data-processing agreements that limit their use of your information.
- For legal reasons — to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal process, enforce our Terms, or protect rights and safety.
- In a business transfer — if LawSHIFT, Inc. is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You'll be notified before this happens.
Cookies & tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Essential functionality — to keep the Service working, remember your progress in the questionnaire, and maintain your session
- Anonymous analytics — to understand how visitors use the Service and improve it
We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media tracking on the Service.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work properly without them.
Data security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
- TLS encryption for all data in transit between your device and the Service
- Encryption at rest for stored personal information
- Access controls limiting employee access to personal information
- Regular security reviews and software updates
No system is perfectly secure. If we discover a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you within the timeframes required by applicable law.
Data retention
We retain Casetimate questionnaire responses for as long as necessary to provide the Service and improve our model.
If you do not complete the questionnaire, your partial responses are deleted within 30 days. We do not use abandoned sessions for marketing or remarketing.
If you provided an email address, you can request deletion of all your information at any time by emailing privacy@casetimator.com. We will fulfill the request within 30 days unless we're legally required to retain certain records.
