When you submit a question, we try our best to provide you with helpful and relevant information. There are a few things you should know before submitting.

We do not provide legal advice or offer a legal referral service. If you need legal advice, please seek the services of an attorney. Often you can find assistance through your local bar association, many of which also provide referrals to low-cost or pro bono (free) resources. Neither Privacy Rights Clearinghouse nor any of its employees is your attorney.
You agree that you will not submit information you consider sensitive or that identifies another person. This includes submitting a question using another person’s name, email or other contact information without permission from that person.
The information you submit is subject to our privacy policy.
We are unable to answer if you do not ask a question. If you want to share your story with us you can do that here.
