Last Updated: July 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Stacey A. Storino, Esq. (“Stacey”) collects, uses, retains, and discloses information obtained through or in connection with staceystorinoesq.com (the “Website”), including information submitted through the Website’s contact form or otherwise communicated to Stacey in connection with the Website.
The Website is a professional-services site directed principally to New York attorneys and law firms seeking virtual litigation support. This Privacy Policy addresses information handled through the Website and related Website communications. It does not limit any obligations imposed by applicable law or professional rules, including obligations that may apply to information received in connection with a good-faith inquiry or an assignment Stacey has accepted in writing.
Please review this Privacy Policy together with the Website’s Terms of Use and Legal Notices. If the two documents address the same subject and conflict, this Privacy Policy controls with respect to personal information and privacy practices.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
When you request a page, submit a form, or otherwise use the Website, the Website’s hosting and software systems may automatically receive or process limited technical information needed to transmit the requested content, maintain the Website, and protect it from misuse. Depending on the service involved, this information may include an Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, device or operating-system information, referring and requested pages, and the date and time of the request.
Technical information may be processed by Stacey or by service providers that host, maintain, secure, or support the Website and related communications. Stacey may use such information to operate and troubleshoot the Website, maintain security and system integrity, investigate suspected misuse, and comply with applicable law or professional obligations.
INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE DIRECTLY
The Website’s contact form asks for your name, email address, and message. If you contact Stacey by email or through another method identified on the Website, you may also choose to provide your firm or organization, telephone number, the names of parties relevant to a conflicts inquiry, a general description of the proposed assignment, timing and availability information, and other information reasonably related to your request.
When first contacting Stacey, please provide only the information reasonably necessary to identify the parties, describe the general nature of the requested virtual litigation support, and discuss timing and availability. Please do not send privileged, highly sensitive, or confidential documents or information through the Website or ordinary email unless Stacey asks you to do so and an appropriate transmission method has been arranged.
Submitting information does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship or require Stacey to accept an assignment. Information received in connection with a good-faith inquiry may be reviewed, used, and retained as reasonably necessary to evaluate or respond to the inquiry, conduct and maintain conflicts and business-administration records, comply with applicable law and professional obligations, or perform an assignment Stacey has accepted in writing.
WHERE INFORMATION MAY BE PROCESSED
Stacey is based in New York. Information submitted through the Website or in related email communications is handled by Stacey in the United States and may also be processed by service providers that host, maintain, secure, or support the Website and related communications.
Stacey does not represent that every service provider will process or store information only in a particular state or country. The location of processing may depend on the provider, service, and systems involved. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to waive or limit any privacy rights that may apply under governing law.
HOW INFORMATION IS USED
Stacey may use information obtained through or in connection with the Website to respond to inquiries; identify relevant parties and conduct or document conflicts-related review; evaluate proposed assignments; discuss availability, scope, timing, fees, and other terms; perform assignments accepted in writing; and maintain appropriate business, conflicts, matter, and professional records.
Stacey may use technical information to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the Website and related communications; detect, investigate, or prevent suspected misuse; preserve system integrity; and determine whether Website pages and functions are operating as intended.
Stacey may provide information to service providers that host, maintain, secure, or support the Website, email, or related business systems in connection with those services. Stacey may also disclose information when she reasonably believes disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law, a court order, subpoena, professional obligation, or other lawful process; is reasonably necessary to investigate suspected misuse or a security incident; or is appropriate to protect legal rights, property, or safety.
PRIVACY REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES
You may contact Stacey through the Website’s Contact page or by mail using the address in the Contact Information section below to ask about personal information you previously submitted through or in connection with the Website, request that inaccurate information be corrected, request deletion or limitation of certain uses, or update your communication preferences. Before acting on a request, Stacey may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify your identity, authority, and relationship to the information.
Stacey will consider each request in light of applicable law, professional obligations, security needs, and legitimate recordkeeping requirements. She may retain information reasonably necessary for conflicts review, business or matter administration, performance of an accepted assignment, billing or accounting, prevention or investigation of misuse, protection of legal rights, or compliance with law or professional duties. For those reasons, complete deletion may not always be possible.
You may ask Stacey not to send nonessential communications. Stacey will make reasonable efforts to honor that preference, but may still send communications reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry, administer an accepted assignment, address billing or records, maintain security, or comply with legal or professional obligations. Commercial email, if any, will include any opt-out method required by applicable law.
CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
Stacey may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Website, services, technology, service providers, legal or professional obligations, or information-handling practices. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page identifies the version currently posted.
A revised Privacy Policy will apply from the date stated in the updated policy, except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law. If a revision would materially change how previously collected personal information is used, Stacey will provide any additional notice or obtain any consent required by applicable law before applying that change.
Please review this page periodically. Nothing in a revised Privacy Policy is intended to waive or limit any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived or limited.
RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE PRIVACY LAWS
Privacy rights vary by jurisdiction, and many privacy laws apply only when specified coverage thresholds, relationships, or types of processing are present. Accordingly, not every right described in this section will apply to every visitor, communication, or request.
If an applicable law grants you rights concerning personal information handled by Stacey, those rights may include requesting confirmation of whether personal information is processed; access to or a copy of personal information; correction of inaccurate information; deletion, subject to applicable exceptions; or information about the categories, sources, purposes, and recipients of personal information. An applicable law may also provide a right to limit certain uses or disclosures or to opt out of a sale or sharing of personal information, but only where the law applies and the relevant activity occurs.
To exercise a privacy right that applies to you, use the request process described in the “Privacy Requests and Communication Preferences” section above and identify your jurisdiction and the right you wish to exercise. Stacey may take reasonable steps to verify your identity, authority, and relationship to the information. She will respond as required by applicable law, subject to lawful exceptions and the professional, conflicts, security, and recordkeeping obligations described in this Privacy Policy. Stacey will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
DATA RETENTION
Retention periods depend on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is held. Stacey may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry; conduct and document conflicts review; administer or perform an accepted assignment; maintain appropriate business, matter, accounting, tax, and professional records; protect the Website and related systems; resolve disputes; enforce agreements; or comply with applicable law or professional obligations.
Information may be retained for a longer period when required or permitted by applicable law, court order, litigation hold, contractual obligation, professional rule, or legitimate security or recordkeeping need. When information is no longer reasonably needed, Stacey may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it as reasonably appropriate, subject to the capabilities and limitations of the systems and service providers involved.
SECURITY AND ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS
Stacey endeavors to use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the size and character of the practice. No website, email system, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, error-free, or continuously available.
Electronic communications may be delayed, misdirected, intercepted, corrupted, or otherwise compromised. The Website and ordinary email should not be treated as secure client portals. Please do not transmit privileged, highly sensitive, or confidential documents through the Website or ordinary email unless Stacey asks you to do so and an appropriate transmission method has been arranged. Any notice concerning a security incident will be provided when and as required by applicable law.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES
The Website may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by others. Stacey does not control their privacy, security, availability, or content practices, and a link does not constitute an endorsement. Please review the privacy notices and terms of any third-party service before submitting information to it.
Where a Website page includes content or functionality supplied by a third party, that third party may receive technical or interaction information under its own policies. This Privacy Policy does not govern information you provide directly to an unrelated third party. Service providers that host, maintain, secure, or support the Website, email, or related business systems may process information in connection with those services.
CHILDREN
The Website is a professional-services site intended for adults, particularly attorneys and law firms seeking virtual litigation support. It is not directed to children under 13, and Stacey does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If Stacey learns that a child under 13 submitted personal information through the Website, she will review the circumstances and take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law.
