Effective Date: September 3, 2026
Confidentiality & Absence of an Attorney-Client Relationship
Please note that while Gibbs Mura LLP (d/b/a Gibbs Mura, A Law Group) (hereinafter, “we” or “us”) treats our communications with you as confidential and protected by the attorney-client privilege, the communications, in and of themselves, do not create an attorney-client relationship. Likewise, your use of this website does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship between you and us.

They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit or for multiple repeat visits.

Data We Collect about You and How We Use It
- In Our Outreach Efforts
Sometimes, we conduct outreach to inform people about how to exercise their legal rights (such as via our website, advertisements, press releases, or in-person town halls). To improve the effectiveness of our online outreach efforts, we may collect certain identifiers (such as IP address, device ID, or advertising ID), and certain internet or other electronic network activity information (such as your interactions with our website or online marketing material), and we may share this information with our service providers, such as social media websites. The sources of this information are you, our website, our advertising partners, and data analytics providers. To our knowledge, we do not engage in advertising to people who are under the age of 16. If we determine based on personal information or sensitive personal information that you provide that we may be able to assist you with additional legal claims, such as with a different lawsuit, we may contact you to inform you about that lawsuit or investigation. We do not sell anyone’s personal information.
- To Respond to Your Inquiries
When you first reach out to us, we usually ask for certain identifiers such as your name, telephone number, and email address, so we know how to contact you. Sometimes, we may ask for other identifiers such as your city, state, zip code, or postal address to enable us to review your potential case using the laws of your city or state. We may also ask other questions that depend entirely on the nature of your inquiry, such as the following:
- Data Breach Inquiries. Sometimes, we can check whether your personal information was impacted by a particular data breach. We might use identifiers such as your name, telephone number, or email address to perform this check, and if other identifiers were reportedly affected by the data breach (such as an account names or social security, driver’s license, or passport numbers), we may reach out to you with a secure way to send us this information, so we can perform this check.
- Financial Fraud Inquiries. To evaluate your potential claims, we may ask for customer record or commercial information, such the amount of your current investments, your investment history, your brokerage, and other financial information.
- Labor Law Inquiries. To evaluate your potential claims, we may ask for certain customer record and professional or employment-related information, such as your employer, employment status, and employment history, as well as certain sensitive personal information such as union membership status. If you are inquiring about claims of age discrimination, disability discrimination, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, or national origin discrimination, we may ask for information about characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law or sensitive personal information such as your race, national origin, gender, age, or the nature of any mental or physical disability.
- Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Inquiries. To evaluate your potential claims, we may need to ask for characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law, such as your gender and status as a victim of sexual assault, as well as certain sensitive personal information such as information about your sexual orientation or sex life.
- Social Media Addiction Inquiries. To evaluate your or your child’s potential claims, we may need to ask for certain identifiers such as the account name of social media accounts, characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law such as whether you have minor children, customer records such as medical information, commercial information such as social media products obtained or considered, visual information such as pictures or video relating to an eating disorder, and sensitive personal information such as mental health information and information about a child who is less than 16 years old.
- Wildfire Claim Inquiries. To evaluate your potential claims, we may ask for identifiers such as postal address of any structures that burned down, characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law such as marital and familial status so we know the other people in your household, commercial information such as records of personal property lost in the fire, visual information such as photographs of your home or personal property before it burned, professional information if you had a business that was impacted by the fire, and sensitive personal information such as information about your health before and after the fire.
If you call and leave us a voicemail, our call software maintains a copy of your voice message. We only use this audio information to respond to your inquiry.
In evaluating your potential claims, we may rely on inferences we draw from any of the above information to create a profile about you reflecting your preferences, characteristics, predispositions, abilities, or aptitudes.
When we are evaluating your claims, we may share the above information with potential co-counsel to help us better evaluate your possible legal claims. The information we collect in order to investigate your claims comes from you, unless we need medical, bank, or other records and you authorize us to collect them on your behalf.
- To Pursue Clients’ Legal Claims
If you decide to become a client, you must sign a representation agreement that will include identifiers such as legal name, email address, and emergency contact information, and customer record information such as your signature. As we pursue your legal claims, your signature may also be needed on other legal documents, such as declarations, settlement documents, or claim forms. We may also need to gather some of the information referenced above in the section concerning our investigation of your potential legal claims.
In “mass” cases (where many people are bringing similar claims), courts often require us to fill out and file a lengthy “plaintiff fact sheet” on your behalf, which could include identifiers such as name and driver’s license or Social Security number, customer record information such as insurance policy number, education, and employment history, characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law such as gender, age, and personal or family history of medical conditions with a genetic component, commercial information such as records of personal property and products or services purchased, professional or employment-related information, education information such as major field of study, date and place of birth, dates of attendance, grade level, enrollment status, degrees received, and previous educational institutions attended, and sensitive personal information such as information about your health and information concerning someone known to be less than 16 years of age. When a case settles, there may be a claim form that requires us to collect similar information to that mentioned above.
Court cases often involve “discovery,” where we can require the other side to give us information and/or documents and they can require us to give them certain personal information related to the lawsuit. In addition to the information mentioned above, facilitating discovery may involve the collection of your sensitive personal information such as the contents of emails or text messages that you sent or received related to the issues in the lawsuit (not including emails or text messages you sent us or we sent you).
When we are litigating your claims, we may share the above information with our co-counsel, with vendors who assist us in gathering information such as medical records service providers, with expert witnesses who we have determined are needed to litigate your claims, with the court in legal filings, with claims administrators if there is a claims process, and with the defendants in the lawsuit if we are required to do so during discovery.
The information we collect to pursue your claims may come from you, the defendants in the lawsuit, medical record service providers, any third parties we subpoena, and claims administrators.
- To Communicate with You
We may use the email address, phone number, or postal address that you provide to communicate with you. We do not sell or transfer your personal information, including your email address, to any third party, except as described in this paragraph. If we are working collaboratively with other lawyers, or retained consultants or experts in investigating or preparing a case, we may share your information with them, provided they also agree to maintain your confidentiality. Likewise, in the event of a lawsuit settlement, we may share your information to help ensure that you receive notice of the settlement.
If you choose to contact us by completing one of the contact forms on our website, your message is automatically forwarded to us. We may respond to your inquiry using any of the contact information you provide, including by email, text message, or phone call. We may also use your contact information to send you case and lawsuit updates, information on cases of public interest, and notifications of class action settlements and monies available to class members.
If you would like to opt out of receiving future communications from us, please send an e-mail message to update@classlawgroup.com with your preferences.

Our Data Retention Policy
We retain your personal information so that we can provide you with the services you requested or similar services. If you are a current client, we need your personal information to litigate your claims. We use the following criteria to determine how long we retain personal information: (a) our relationship with you, such as if there is an ongoing representation or pending request from you, (b) legal obligations to retain personal information for certain purposes, and (c) other obligations or considerations relating to the retention of data, such as contract requirements, litigation holds, investigations, or statutes of limitation.
Rights of California Residents
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act grants you certain rights in order to give you more control over how your data is used and shared. These rights include:
- Right to Delete: the right to request that a business delete personal information that it has collected from you;
- Right to Correct: the right to request that a business fix inaccurate information it has about you;
- Right to Know: the right to request that a business tell you the categories of personal information it collects, sources of that information, and third parties with whom it shares that information; the purpose for collecting that information; and each specific piece of your personal information that the business has in its files;
- Right to Opt Out: if a business sells personal information to third parties or shares it with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising, you have the right to exclude yourself from such selling or sharing (note: we will never sell your personal information);
- Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information: if a business uses sensitive personal information for anything other than providing you with the services that you requested, you have the right to limit the business’s use of your sensitive personal information (note: we only use sensitive personal information to provide the services that you request or to inform you of related legal services);
- Right to Non-Retaliation: a business is not allowed to treat you differently because you exercised any of your above rights, such as by charging you a different price or refusing to provide you with its services.
Exercising Your California Privacy Rights
To exercise your privacy rights under California law, such as your right to delete, correct, know, or opt out, you can call us toll-free at (800) 254-9493 or by emailing us at privacy@classlawgroup.com.
If you contact us about your personal information, we will first need to verify that your identity matches information in our records. We may need your name, email address, phone number, and a confirmation code sent to your email or phone. We will respond to your request within 45 days. You may also have an authorized agent submit a request on your behalf, but we may contact you to verify that the agent is in fact your representative.
Requests to opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising that are submitted via telephone or email may require that you submit the IP addresses of any devices you use, so we can use these IP addresses to exclude you. You can also opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising using a Global Privacy Control, which is currently built into some browsers (such as Firefox, Brave, or DuckDuckGo) or you can use a browser extension such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Privacy Badger extension available through the Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-Ons. Using a Global Privacy Control may only opt you out of cross-context behavioral advertising on browsers on which it is configured.
You do not need to opt out of the sale of your personal information because we do not sell anyone’s personal information.
