Careful handling begins with limited, relevant information

Scope of this notice

This notice applies to information collected through lcinterpreter.com, including interpreter requests, contact communications, accessibility feedback, and inquiries from language professionals. A client agreement, court rule, professional code, or other assignment-specific requirement may impose additional obligations and will control where applicable.

Information collected

Information you provide may include your name, organization, email address, telephone number, requested service, language, proceeding type, date, time, expected duration, service format, location or remote platform, a case or reference number, and additional details you choose to provide.

Hosting and security systems may also process limited technical information such as an IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, timestamps, and security logs. WordPress and hosting systems may use cookies or similar storage that is necessary for administration, security, or essential website operation. LC Interpreter does not use this notice to authorize undisclosed advertising or the sale of personal information.

How information is used

• Review and respond to service or professional inquiries
• Evaluate assignment requirements, qualifications, timing, format, and availability
• Coordinate a confirmed service and communicate about it
• Operate, protect, troubleshoot, and improve the website
• Maintain appropriate business, security, and compliance records
• Respond to lawful requests and protect rights, safety, and operations

When information may be disclosed

Information may be provided, in a limited and appropriate form, to personnel or language professionals involved in reviewing or delivering a requested service; to website, hosting, email, communications, or other vendors supporting operations; to professional advisers; or when disclosure is required or permitted by law. Service providers may process information on LC Interpreter's behalf and are expected to handle it for the relevant operational purpose.

Confidentiality and sensitive information

LC Interpreter approaches service coordination with discretion and may be subject to contractual, ethical, or legal confidentiality duties for a confirmed assignment. However, submitting a website form or email does not create an attorney-client relationship, attorney-client privilege, interpreter-client privilege, engagement, or guarantee of service. Initial website communications should be limited to information reasonably necessary to evaluate the request.

Retention and security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, business and recordkeeping needs, dispute prevention, security, and applicable legal obligations. Retention periods can vary by record and assignment. LC Interpreter uses reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the website and its operations, but no email, website, or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and requests

You may ask to review or correct information you submitted, or request deletion where appropriate and legally permitted. Some information may need to be retained for completed services, legal obligations, security, or recordkeeping. Requests may require reasonable identity verification.

Children and external websites

The website is intended for professional and organizational use and is not directed to children under 13. External websites and platforms are governed by their own privacy practices.

Changes to this notice

This notice may be revised as services, technology, or legal requirements change. The updated date will identify the current version.
