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.

When do we collect information? We collect information when you visit the website, fill out a form, request a consultation, use the online chat system, sign up for our newsletter, respond to a survey or marketing communication, or use certain other site features.  

If you fill out a contact form on this website, we will ask you to provide some personal information (such as e-mail address, name, phone number and state). 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; driver’s 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, or which we collect from you, to communicate with you in the future and so we may send you advertising and marketing material in the future. If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may opt out (unsubscribe) as described below.

What information do we collect? 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.

We use cookies to help remind us who you are and to help you navigate our sites during your visits.

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:

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.

The use of cookies is relatively standard. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. However, if you prefer, you can set your browser to either notify you when you receive a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies.

California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA):

CalOPPA requires commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and the individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy. Learn more about CalOPPA at the Consumer Federation of California’s website.

In compliance with CalOPPA we agree to the following:

• Users can visit our site anonymously.
• We will create a privacy policy add a link to it on our home page, or as a minimum, on the first significant page after entering our website.
• Our privacy policy link includes the word “privacy,” and can easily be found on the page specified above.
• Users will be notified of any privacy policy changes on our Privacy Policy page.
• Users are able to change their personal information by calling us.

How does our site handle “do not track” signals?

We honor “do not track” signals and do not track, plant cookies, or use advertising when a Do Not Track (DNT) browser mechanism is in place.

Does our site allow third party behavioral tracking?

Any website or app provided by provided by our law firm may allow third party behavioral tracking.

COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act):

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online by regulating the collection of personal information from children under age 13. This website does not specifically market to children under age 13.

Fair Information Practices:

The Fair Information Practice Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States. In order to be in line with Fair Information Practice Principles, we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

We will notify affected users via email within 7 business days.
We will notify affected users via phone call within 7 business days.

We also agree to the individual redress principle, which requires that individuals have a right to pursue legally enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
