privacy
statement
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 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 allow us
to save passwords and preferences for you so
you won’t have to re-enter them each time
you visit.
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. You should understand that some
features of many sites may not function
properly if you don’t accept cookies.
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;
-
Ask us to delete any data we have about you; and/or
-
Opt out of future communications from
us.
If you have any additional questions or
concerns about this privacy policy, please

form or mailing address listed on this
website. If our information practices change
in a significant way, we will post the
policy changes here.
