Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 28, 2026 Effective Date: July 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how YL Law Firm (“YL Law Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), located at 110 N Wacker Dr., Suite 2500, Chicago, IL 60606, United States, collects, uses, and discloses information in connection with your use of our website at https://ymllawfirm.com (the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with its terms, please do not access or use the Site.

Important Notice: No Attorney-Client Relationship

This Privacy Policy, and your use of the Site, does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and YL Law Firm. An attorney-client relationship is formed only when YL Law Firm expressly agrees to represent you, typically through a signed engagement letter. Submitting information through our contact or consultation request forms, calling our office, or emailing us does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship or any duty of confidentiality on our part.

Please do not send confidential or sensitive information through our website forms or by unencrypted email until an attorney-client relationship has been formally established. Any information you send us before that point may not be protected by attorney-client privilege, and we cannot guarantee its confidentiality. If you need to send confidential information after an attorney-client relationship has been established, please contact us first to discuss an appropriate method of secure transmission.

This website may constitute attorney advertising under applicable laws or rules of professional conduct in certain jurisdictions. Prior results described or referenced on this Site, if any, do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future matter. You should not act, or refrain from acting, based solely on information contained on this Site without first seeking legal advice regarding your specific circumstances.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the personal information that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We may collect the following categories of information:

Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any message or details you submit through our contact, consultation request, or appointment forms
Communications you send us by email, phone, or through the Site
Technical and usage information collected automatically when you visit the Site, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring/exit pages, and general usage patterns (collected through cookies and similar technologies, as described in Section 4 below)
Approximate geographic location derived from your IP address

Information submitted through our contact forms should be limited to what is reasonably necessary for us to evaluate your inquiry. We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as Social Security numbers, financial account details, or health information) through the Site’s general contact forms. If you choose to include such information in a message to us, you do so at your own discretion and risk, consistent with the confidentiality notice above.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To respond to your inquiries and requests for a consultation
To communicate with you about our services
To operate, maintain, protect, and improve the Site
To display client testimonials and feedback, where separately and voluntarily provided for that purpose
To comply with applicable law, professional and ethical obligations, and enforce our website Terms of Use
To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity, and to protect the security of the Site
To resolve disputes

If we intend to use your information for a purpose materially different from those described above, we will seek your consent before doing so, unless otherwise permitted or required by law.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (Where Applicable)

This Site is primarily directed toward individuals located in the United States. However, where the laws of another jurisdiction apply to our processing of your personal information (for example, if you contact us from outside the United States), we process personal information based on one or more legal grounds, including your consent, the performance of services you have requested, compliance with our legal obligations, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Some cookies are essential for the operation of the Site, while others help us improve functionality, security, analytics, and user experience, including analytics tools such as Google Analytics. Analytics providers may collect and process information in accordance with their own privacy policies. Depending on your location, we will honor applicable opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by law. For more information about the specific cookies we use and your choices regarding them, please refer to our separate Cookie Policy.

5. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

With service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, email and communication tools, scheduling platforms, and analytics providers, who are permitted to use your information only to provide these services to us
When required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or in response to a request from a government or regulatory authority
To protect the rights, property, or safety of YL Law Firm, our clients, our website visitors, or others, including to enforce our website Terms of Use
In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality arrangements
With your consent

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information collected through the Site for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, including recordkeeping obligations that may apply to attorneys under applicable rules of professional conduct. Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on legal, ethical, regulatory, and operational requirements. We may retain certain information for longer periods where necessary for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or the enforcement of our legal rights. Aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify you may be retained indefinitely.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law and your state of residence, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information, which may include the right to:

Know or access the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you
Request correction of inaccurate personal information
Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain legal exceptions
Request a portable copy of the personal information you have provided to us
Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (note: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under applicable state privacy laws)
Withdraw any consent previously provided to us
Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 15 below. Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf where permitted by applicable law and subject to identity verification. We will respond in accordance with applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests, and in some cases, we may not be able to fulfill a request due to legal exceptions, including where information is protected by attorney-client privilege or the attorney work-product doctrine, or where retention is required by our professional obligations as attorneys.

If you do not provide certain information we request, or you withdraw consent for its processing, we may be unable to respond to your inquiry or provide certain services.

8. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information. If you believe we may have collected information from a child, please contact us using the information in Section 15 below.

9. Third-Party Links and Content

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, or embedded content or tools from third parties (such as maps, scheduling widgets, review platforms, or social media features). We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you visit or use.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, and we periodically review our security practices and make updates where reasonably appropriate. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You transmit information to us at your own risk. Please be aware that standard email is not a fully secure method of communication, and you should exercise discretion when sending sensitive information by email.

11. Where Your Information Is Processed

The Site is operated in, and primarily directed toward, individuals located in the United States. Information you provide is generally collected, stored, and processed in the United States. If you are accessing the Site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

12. Additional Notice for California and Other State Residents

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights under state privacy laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended. As noted above, we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors under 16. California, Nevada, Virginia, and residents of certain other states may exercise their applicable privacy rights by contacting us using the information in Section 15 below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any privacy right.

13. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. At this time, our Site does not respond to DNT signals, although we do honor applicable opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control where required by law, as described in Section 4 above.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The updated version will be posted on this page, and material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page, effective as of that date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after a revised Privacy Policy is posted constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
