Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 11/20/25

At FalseArrestNY.com, operated by Apicella & Schlesinger Attorneys at Law, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you may provide while using our website.

Information We Collect

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check for a profile image. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile image becomes visible alongside your comment.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to the website, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from any images posted on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies will last one year.

When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies—this cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

If you log in, we’ll set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen preference cookies last a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies.

When you edit or publish an article, a cookie storing the post ID is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires in one day.

Embedded Content from Third Parties

Articles and pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, articles, images). Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the originating website.

These third-party sites may collect your data, use cookies, track your interaction with embedded content, and monitor your activity if you’re logged into their platform.

Data Sharing

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. Information may be shared only to comply with legal obligations or protect our legal rights.

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate automatic approval of future comments.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users may view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (username changes excluded). Website administrators can also access and modify that information.

Your Rights

If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we erase any personal data we retain, except for data we are required to maintain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.

Data Protection

Visitor comments may be filtered through an automated spam detection service. We take appropriate security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access.
