Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 26, 2026
Monica Berlin, Medical Litigation Consultant (“Monica,” “I,” “me,” or “my”), operates MonicaBerlinMLC.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information the website collects, how it is used, and the choices available to visitors.
Information you provide
If you contact me through the website form, email, or telephone, I may receive your name, email address, telephone number, firm or organization, and the contents of your communication.
Contact-form submissions are sent by email and are not stored in the WordPress website database. Inquiry emails are deleted after the request has been processed.
Do not submit medical records, protected health information, confidential case files, privileged communications, or other sensitive information through the website contact form. Sending an inquiry does not create a consulting relationship.
Information collected automatically
The website and its service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, including:
- pages viewed and links selected;
- date and time of access;
- referring website, source, medium, or campaign;
- browser, operating system, device type, and screen information;
- approximate geographic location;
- file downloads and outbound-link activity;
- scrolling and other website interactions; and
- website performance and error information.
Analytics
The website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics and Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to understand website traffic, referral sources, page use, downloads, performance, and contact-form conversions.
GA4 may use first-party analytics cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish browsers and sessions. Advertising features, Google Signals, user-provided data collection, personalized advertising, remarketing, and Google Ads integrations are not enabled.
No names, email addresses, telephone numbers, contact-form messages, medical information, or case details are intentionally sent to either analytics service.
Regional consent and cookie choices
For visitors located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland—or when the visitor’s region cannot be determined—GA4 remains disabled unless the visitor accepts analytics cookies. Other visitors may receive analytics automatically.
Visitors who are shown the consent notice may accept or decline analytics cookies. A Cookie Settings link in the website footer allows the choice to be reviewed or changed later. Declining analytics does not restrict access to the website’s core content.
Browser settings may also be used to block or delete cookies.
How information is used
Information collected through the website may be used to:
- respond to inquiries;
- evaluate potential consulting engagements;
- operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website;
- understand traffic, referral sources, and content use;
- assess professional outreach and website effectiveness;
- improve website content, navigation, accessibility, and performance; and
- comply with applicable legal or professional obligations.
Service providers
The website relies on service providers for hosting, infrastructure, security, analytics, and email delivery, including Pressable, Cloudflare, and Google. These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services and under their own terms and privacy practices.
Sale, advertising, and disclosure
I do not sell personal information collected through this website. Website information is not used for cross-context behavioral advertising or remarketing.
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful process, protect the website or others, investigate misuse, or enforce applicable rights.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because no uniform technical standard governs these signals, the website does not currently respond to them in a standardized way. Visitors may use the cookie controls and browser settings described above.
Children
The website is intended for professional and general informational audiences and is not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Policy changes
This policy may be updated when website practices, service providers, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be posted here with a new effective date.
