Privacy Statement

Effective date: 7/30/2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Hepworth Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC (“HGR,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information you provide to us, including information submitted through advertisements or forms we run on third-party platforms such as LinkedIn. By submitting your information to us, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

When you respond to one of our advertisements or complete an intake or lead form, we may collect:

• Contact details such as your name, email address, and telephone number;
• Employment information you provide, such as your job title or role, the company or agency that employed you, the state(s) where you worked, and your approximate dates of employment;
• Information about how you were paid and the concerns you describe about your wages, hours, or overtime; and
• Any other information you choose to include in your message to us.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, financial-account numbers, passwords, complete medical records, or other highly sensitive information unless an attorney or authorized Firm representative specifically requests it.

How we use your information

• To evaluate whether you may have a legal claim and whether HGR may be able to represent you;
• To contact you about your potential matter and respond to your inquiry;
• To perform conflict checks and other steps necessary before undertaking representation; and
• To keep records as required by applicable law and the rules governing attorneys.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it only:

• with attorneys and staff at HGR, and with co-counsel or service providers who assist us in evaluating or handling potential matters, subject to obligations of confidentiality;
• where you direct or authorize us to do so; and
• where required by law, court order, or the rules of professional conduct.

Communications

By submitting a contact or case-evaluation form, you authorize the Firm to respond to your inquiry using the contact information you provide, including by telephone, email, or text message.

Consent to be contacted regarding your inquiry is not a condition of becoming a client. Standard telephone, message, and data rates may apply.

You may opt out of nonessential or promotional communications by following the instructions in the communication or contacting us at info@hgrlawyers.com. Opting out of promotional communications will not prevent us from contacting you regarding an existing inquiry, representation, legal obligation, or other nonmarketing matter.

LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms

If you reach us through LinkedIn’s advertising or Lead Gen Form tools, LinkedIn may pass to us the information you have authorized it to share (for example, the name, email address, and employer associated with your LinkedIn profile). The Firm may use LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms or similar LinkedIn features that allow individuals to request information or submit an inquiry through LinkedIn.

When you submit information through a LinkedIn form:

• LinkedIn may automatically populate the form with information from your LinkedIn profile;
• LinkedIn collects and processes the information in accordance with its own privacy policies;
• LinkedIn provides the submitted information to the Firm; and
• Once received by the Firm, the information is also handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
• Submitting a LinkedIn form does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Other Social-Media Platforms

Our presence on LinkedIn or another social-media platform does not mean that we endorse or control that platform’s privacy or security practices. Communications posted publicly on social media should not be used to provide confidential or sensitive information concerning a legal matter.

Confidentiality and security

We treat information you submit as confidential and take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data retention

We retain the information you provide for as long as needed to evaluate and, where applicable, handle your matter, and thereafter for the periods required by applicable law and the rules governing attorney records.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on your state or country of residence and the laws applicable to the Firm, you may have the right to request that we:

• Confirm whether we maintain personal information about you;
• Provide access to certain personal information;
• Correct inaccurate personal information;
• Delete certain personal information;
• Restrict or object to certain processing;
• Provide a portable copy of certain information; or
• Opt you out of certain targeted advertising or information-sharing practices.

These rights are not absolute. We may deny or limit a request when permitted or required by law, including when information is protected by legal privilege, professional obligations, litigation holds, record-retention requirements, or another legal exception. To make a request, contact us at info@hgrlawyers.com or using the details below.

Children’s privacy

Our advertisements and forms are directed to working professionals and are not intended for individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date above indicates when it was last revised.
