Privacy Policy
Effective November 11, 2026.
Barnes Corley ("we," "us" or "our") is a New York law firm. This policy explains what information this website collects, how we use it and the choices you have. It applies only to this website, not to information we receive in the course of representing a client, which is protected by our professional duty of confidentiality once an attorney-client relationship exists.
Information you send us
If you use the contact form, call or email us, we receive what you choose to share: your name, email address, phone number, the town or city of the property, your insurance company, the approximate date of loss, the type of claim and your description of it. Please do not send Social Security numbers, bank or card numbers, medical information or other confidential details through the form or by email. Submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Information collected automatically
This site is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard technical data (such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested) to deliver and secure the site. Pages load fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser sends your IP address to Google when a page loads. The home page and the contact page embed a Google Maps map; when it loads, Google receives technical data from your browser (such as your IP address) and may set its own cookies under the Google Privacy Policy.
Cookies and analytics
As of the effective date, this site does not set its own cookies and does not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools. Third-party embeds described above may set cookies; you can block them in your browser settings. If we add analytics or similar tools, we will update this policy first.
How we use information
- To respond to your inquiry and decide whether we can help, including checking for conflicts of interest.
- To contact you by email or phone about your inquiry. We will call or text you only if you ask us to or give consent on the form, and you can opt out at any time by replying STOP or telling us.
- To keep records required by law or professional rules, and to protect the security of the site.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal information and do not share it for advertising. We share it only with service providers that help us run the site and our practice (such as hosting and email), with your permission, or when the law requires it.
Security and the New York SHIELD Act
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, as New York General Business Law § 899-bb requires. No website or email system is completely secure. If a breach of private information occurs, we will notify affected people and regulators as required by General Business Law § 899-aa.
Retention
We keep inquiry information only as long as needed to respond, to check conflicts and to meet legal and professional record-keeping obligations, and then delete or securely dispose of it.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.
Your choices
You may ask us what information we hold about you from this website, or ask us to correct or delete it, subject to our legal and professional obligations. Contact us at intake@barnescorley.com or 516-844-0068.
Changes
We may update this policy. The effective date above shows when it last changed.
