Steve K. Marks, Attorney at Law ("we," "us," "our," or "the Firm"), operating offices in San Diego, California and Coconut Creek, Florida, respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
01.Information We Collect
Information you provide directly: Name, phone number, email address, physical address, details about your accident or legal matter, and any other information you submit through our contact forms, the Free Case Value Estimator, our AI chat assistant, or by emailing or calling our offices.
Information collected automatically: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, time on site, referring website, and general location (city/region level) via cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies, including analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) and advertising/retargeting pixels if used.
Information from the AI chat assistant: Conversations with "Ask Marks AI" may be logged and reviewed by our staff to follow up on your inquiry and to improve the assistant's responses. Do not share sensitive medical or financial account details in the chat that you are not comfortable being reviewed by our team.
