Who we are

Dog Bite Archive is operated by ME Lawyers, APLC (11110 Ohio Ave Suite #201, Los Angeles, CA 90025). This policy describes what we collect on this website, how we use it, and the rights California residents have.

What we collect

Technical and marketing information collected automatically: pages visited, referring page, ad-click identifiers (such as gclid), UTM campaign parameters, IP address, and browser type. We use Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion tracking.

How we use it

To respond to your report request: your submission is delivered to ME Lawyers, APLC's intake system so a team member can review the likely record path and contact you about the request and possible legal options. Permission for automated calls or texts is optional and is not required for report-request assistance; reply STOP to opt out of texts.

To measure and improve our advertising (conversion tracking with Google), and to operate and secure the website.

General analytics and advertising events do not include your report number, incident narrative, contact information, animal-owner information, or medical information.

Who we share it with

ME Lawyers, APLC (the sponsoring law firm) receives your submission. We also use service providers to operate the site: website hosting, our intake/CRM platform (LeadDocket), email delivery, and Google (analytics and advertising measurement). These providers process data on our behalf.
