HIPAA Disclaimer

Legal Online Directory helps consumers connect with licensed attorneys. This page explains how HIPAA applies — and does not apply — to information you provide to us.

Legal Online Directory is not a law firm

Legal Online Directory is a lead generation service. We help consumers connect with licensed attorneys. We are not:

  • A healthcare provider
  • A legal engagement or law firm
  • A healthcare clearinghouse
  • A business associate of any of the above

Because we are not a law firm and do not provide legal representation, no attorney-client relationship, attorney-client privilege, or work-product protection is created by submitting information to Legal Online Directory.

What this means for you

  • Do not share privileged case documents, confidential settlement figures, or detailed evidence with us. We only need enough to route you to an attorney.
  • Information you do share (such as case type, jurisdiction, or household size) is protected under our Privacy Policy and applicable state privacy laws — not HIPAA.
  • Once a licensed attorney or law firm collects your information for representation, their obligations may include HIPAA and other laws.

When attorney-client privilege applies

If you retain an attorney or law firm you connect with via Legal Online Directory, that firm's own privacy practices and the attorney-client privilege — not this notice — govern how your case information is handled.
