This privacy policy applies to information collected online from users
of this website. In this policy, you can learn what kind of information
we collect, when and how we might use that information, how we protect
the information, and the choices you have with respect to your personal
information.
What personal information is collected through this website and how is it used?
We collect information about our users in three ways: directly from the
user, from our Web server logs and through cookies. We use the information
primarily to provide you with a personalized Internet experience that
delivers the information, resources, and services that are most relevant
and helpful to you. We don't share any of the information you provide
with others, unless we say so in this Privacy Policy, or when we believe
in good faith that the law requires it.
User-supplied information: If you fill out the “contact” form on this website, we will
ask you to provide some personal information (such as e-mail address,
name, phone number and state). We only require that you provide an e-mail
address on the contact form. Further, if chat is available through this
site, you may be asked to provide information if you participate in an
online chat. Please do not submit any confidential, proprietary or sensitive
personally identifiable information (e.g. Social Security Number; date
of birth; drivers license number; or credit card, bank account or other
financial information) (collectively, "Sensitive Information").
If you submit any Sensitive Information, you do so at your own risk and
we will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission.
Information that you provide to us through the contact form or an online
chat will be used so that we may respond to your inquiry. We may also
use information you provide to us to communicate with you in the future.
If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may opt out (unsubscribe)
as described below.
Web server logs: When you visit our website, we may track information about your visit
and store that information in web server logs, which are records of the
activities on our sites. The servers automatically capture and save the
information electronically. Examples of the information we may collect include:
- your unique Internet protocol address;
- the name of your unique Internet service provider;
- the town/city, county/state and country from which you access our website;
- the kind of browser or computer you use;
- the number of links you click within the site;
- the date and time of your visit;
- the web page from which you arrived to our site;
- the pages you viewed on the site; and
- certain searches/queries that you conducted via our website(s).
The information we collect in web server logs helps us administer the site,
analyze its usage, protect the website and its content from inappropriate
use and improve the user's experience.
Cookies: In order to offer and provide a customized and personal service, our websites
and applications may use cookies and similar technologies to store and
help track information about you. Cookies are simply small pieces of data
that are sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's
hard drive. We use cookies to help remind us who you are and to help you
navigate our sites during your visits. Cookies also can tell us where
visitors go on a website and allow us to save preferences for you so you
won't have to re-enter them each time you visit. The use of cookies
is relatively standard. Most Internet browsers are initially set up to
accept cookies, but you can use your browser to either notify you when
you receive a cookie or to disable cookies.
If you wish to disable cookies from this site, you can do so using your
browser. You should understand that some features of many sites may not
function properly if you don't accept cookies. For more information
about using browsers to manage cookies, please see
All About Cookies. You can also refuse to accept Flash cookies from this website using
Adobe's Flash management tools. You can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting
Google's Ad Settings.
By visiting this website, you consent to the use of cookies and similar
technologies in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Third-party Services: We may use services hosted by third parties, including Adobe Site Catalyst,
to assist in providing our services and to help us understand the use
of our site by our visitors. These services may collect information sent
by your browser as part of a web page request, including your IP address
or cookies. If these third-party services collect information, they do
so anonymously and in the aggregate to provide information helpful to
us such as website trends, without identifying individual visitors.
In addition, we may use services provided by third parties to display
relevant content, products, services and advertising to you. These third
parties may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to collect
or receive information from this website and elsewhere on the internet.
They may then use that information to provide measurement services so
we can understand your interests and retarget advertisements based on
your previous visits to this website. Please keep in mind that we do not
share your personal information with any third-party advertiser, ad server
or ad network.
You may be able to opt-out of the collection and use of information for
ad targeting by some third parties by visiting
www.aboutads.info/choices. You can opt out of Google's use of cookies by visiting
Google's Ad Settings. You can visit this
page to opt out of AdRoll's and their partners' targeted advertising.
Please see "Cookies" in the section above for more information
on how you can control the use of cookies on your computer.
California Do Not Track: Our web services do not alter, change, or respond upon receiving Do Not
Track (DNT) requests or signals in browsers. As described in more detail
above, we track user activity using web server logs, cookies and similar
technologies. Information collected in web server logs helps us analyze
website usage and improve the user's experience. Cookies allow us
to offer you a customized experience and present relevant advertising to you.
How is personal information protected?
We take certain appropriate security measures to help protect your personal
information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use or
disclosure. However, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will
always be unable to defeat our security measures.
Who has access to the information?
We will not sell, rent, or lease mailing lists or other user data to others,
and we will not make your personal information available to any unaffiliated
parties, except as follows:
- to agents, website vendors and/or contractors who may use it on our behalf
or in connection with their relationship with us;
- if we are unable to assist with your matter, but know an unaffiliated attorney
or firm that may be able to help you, we may refer you and share information
you provided us with that party; and
- as required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy, as needed in
connection with the transfer of our business assets (for example, if we
are acquired by another firm or if we are liquidated during bankruptcy
proceedings), or if we believe in good faith that sharing the data is
necessary to protect our rights or property.
How can I correct, amend or delete my personal information and/or opt out
of future communications?
You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. Contact us
via the phone number, contact form or mailing address on our website at
any time to:
- see what data we have about you, if any;
