Privacy Policy
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

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;
- change/correct any data we have about you;

- opt out of future communications from us.
If you have any additional questions or concerns about this privacy policy,

post the policy changes here.
