Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 13, 2026
Last Updated: July 13, 2026
Charles C. Weller A.P.C. (“Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information obtained through OnlineMedicationInvestigation.com (the “Website”).
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Website, including information submitted through our investigation and case-evaluation forms. It does not replace any separate privacy, confidentiality, or professional obligations that may apply after an attorney-client relationship has been formally established.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
When you submit an inquiry or case-evaluation form, we may collect:
- Your first and last name
- Email address
- Telephone number
- City and state
- The company or online provider from which you purchased medication
- The medication you purchased, including semaglutide, tirzepatide, or another GLP-1 medication
- The approximate date and amount of your purchase
- Whether you purchased directly through a company’s website
- Information about advertisements, prices, discounts, promotions, subscriptions, recurring billing, or cancellation practices you encountered
- Information about receipts, order confirmations, emails, screenshots, text messages, or other records you may possess
- A description of your experience
- Any other information you voluntarily submit or provide when communicating with us
Because your inquiry may involve medication, some information you provide could reveal or suggest health-related information. Please provide only the information reasonably necessary for us to evaluate your inquiry.
Do not submit Social Security numbers, financial-account numbers, payment-card numbers, passwords, account login credentials, complete medical records, or other highly sensitive information through the Website unless we specifically request it and provide an appropriate secure method for submission.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Website, we or our service providers may automatically collect information such as:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Approximate geographic location based on your IP address
- Referring website or advertisement
- Pages viewed and links selected
- Dates and times of visits
- Interactions with Website forms and features
- Cookie identifiers and similar online identifiers
- Information concerning whether you reached the Website through an advertisement
We may collect this information using cookies, pixels, tags, server logs, analytics technologies, and similar tools.
Information From Other Sources
We may receive information from advertising platforms, referral sources, analytics providers, co-counsel, service providers, or other parties that assist us with Website operations or legal-investigation inquiries.
2. How We Use Information
We may use the information we collect to:
- Review and evaluate your potential legal claim
- Determine whether you may qualify for the investigation
- Contact you for additional information
- Respond to questions and requests
- Communicate with you by telephone, email, or, when separately authorized, text message
- Verify, investigate, or document the circumstances surrounding your purchase
- Identify potential patterns involving online medication sellers, advertising, pricing, subscription, or cancellation practices
- Provide legal services when an attorney-client relationship has been established
- Refer or discuss a matter with another attorney when you have authorized us to do so
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website
- Measure the effectiveness of our advertising and outreach
- Prevent fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful activity
- Comply with legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations
- Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
We will not use health-related or legal-inquiry information submitted through the form to advertise unrelated products or services to you.
3. Confidentiality and Attorney-Client Relationship
We treat information submitted through the Website as confidential and limit access to individuals who have a legitimate reason to review it.
However, submitting information through the Website does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is created only after the Firm and the prospective client enter into a written engagement agreement.
Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may not receive all protections that apply to information provided by an existing client. You should not send time-sensitive or highly confidential information unless instructed to do so by an attorney.
The Website is not operated as a healthcare provider, pharmacy, health plan, or medical-record portal. Information submitted through the Website may not be protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, commonly called HIPAA.
4. How We Disclose Information
We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients:
Attorneys and Legal Professionals
Information may be reviewed by attorneys, paralegals, investigators, litigation-support providers, consultants, experts, or other professionals helping evaluate or handle the investigation.
We may discuss or disclose information to co-counsel or another law firm when appropriate and authorized, including when another attorney may be better positioned to evaluate or handle your matter.
Service Providers
We may provide information to companies that perform services on our behalf, including:
- Website hosting and maintenance
- Form processing and data storage
- Email and telephone services
- Text-messaging services, when applicable
- Analytics and advertising measurement
- Cybersecurity and fraud prevention
- Document management
- Technical support
- Professional and legal services
These providers are permitted to use information only as necessary to perform services for us or as otherwise allowed by law.
Legal and Regulatory Disclosures
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with a subpoena, court order, law, or governmental request
- Satisfy professional or ethical obligations
- Protect the safety, rights, or property of the Firm, Website users, or others
- Investigate fraud, security incidents, or unlawful conduct
- Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights or claims
Business Transactions
Information may be transferred as part of a merger, restructuring, sale, succession, or transfer of some or all of the Firm’s operations, subject to applicable legal and professional obligations.
5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Technologies
The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, operate Website features, understand Website traffic, improve performance, prevent fraud, measure advertising results, and determine how visitors reached the Website.
Third-party analytics or advertising providers may collect online identifiers, IP addresses, device information, browsing activity, referring-page information, and advertisement interaction data.
You may be able to restrict cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may cause some Website functions to operate incorrectly.
6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell personal information for money.
The use of certain advertising, analytics, or tracking technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under some state privacy laws, even when no money is exchanged.
Where applicable, you may request that we not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising by contacting us using the information provided below. Where legally required, we will also process recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, as an opt-out request.
We do not knowingly sell or share health-related information submitted through our case-evaluation form for targeted advertising.
7. Text Messages and Telephone Communications
Providing your telephone number authorizes us to contact you concerning your inquiry by telephone or email.
We will send marketing or automated text messages only when legally permitted and when any required consent has been obtained. Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of receiving legal services.
Mobile information and SMS consent will not be sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for their independent marketing purposes. Information may be provided to service providers that help deliver communications on our behalf.
Message and data rates may apply. Where text messaging is offered, you may opt out by replying “STOP.”
8. Data Retention
We retain information for only as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Evaluate and respond to your inquiry
- Conduct the investigation
- Provide legal services
- Maintain legal and business records
- Satisfy professional, ethical, regulatory, and legal obligations
- Resolve disputes
- Enforce agreements
- Protect against fraud and security threats
Retention periods may vary depending on whether you become a client, whether litigation is anticipated or pending, and whether applicable law or professional obligations require information to be preserved.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, email system, storage system, or internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Website.
10. California Privacy Rights
Depending on whether applicable legal requirements and thresholds are met, California residents may have the right to:
- Know the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected about them
- Know the sources, purposes, and categories of recipients associated with their information
- Request access to personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information
- Limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information
- Receive equal service and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights
These rights are subject to applicable exceptions. For example, we may retain information when necessary to comply with legal or professional obligations, evaluate or defend legal claims, protect security, complete a requested service, or maintain privileged or confidential records.
California law recognizes rights to know, correct, delete, and opt out of qualifying sales or sharing of personal information. Covered businesses must also provide notices explaining their privacy practices.
Exercising Your Rights
You may submit a privacy request using any of the following methods:
Email: info@cweller.com
Telephone: 858-414-7465
Mail:
Charles C. Weller A.P.C.
11412 Corley Court
San Diego, CA 92126
Please include “Privacy Request” in the subject line or correspondence and provide enough information for us to identify your records and understand your request.
We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf, but we may require proof of authorization and identity verification.
11. Sensitive Personal Information
Information about medication purchases, health interests, and potential legal claims may qualify as sensitive personal information under certain laws.
We use sensitive personal information only as reasonably necessary to evaluate inquiries, provide requested services, operate and secure the Website, comply with legal obligations, and conduct the legal investigation. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you for unrelated advertising purposes.
12. Children’s Privacy
The Website is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If we learn that information was collected from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
13. Third-Party Websites
The Website may contain links to third-party websites. We do not control the privacy or security practices of those websites. Information you provide directly to a third-party website is governed by that third party’s privacy policy.
14. Do Not Track
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no single universally accepted standard for responding to traditional Do Not Track signals, the Website may not respond to them.
Where required by applicable law, we will process recognized opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, Website technology, legal requirements, or professional obligations.
The revised policy will be posted on the Website with an updated “Last Updated” date. We encourage visitors to review this policy periodically.
