The Information We Collect
This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the Lawyers Guide ("Lawyers Guide") Web site located at www.lawyersguide.com referred to here as "our Web site." Other Lawyers Guide Web sites may operate under their own privacy notices. Our Web site contains links to other Web sites operated by third parties. Lawyers Guide is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third-party Web sites. For questions about our Privacy Policy please email us at Contact Us!
The Information We Collect
Our Web site is not set up to automatically collect personally-identifiable information from visitors to our Web site. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web site. The server information is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.
Our Web site does track certain non-personally-identifiable information about the visits to our Web site. For example, we compile aggregate statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Web site and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used internally to improve our Web site and for product development and marketing purposes generally. The aggregated non-personal statistics may also be provided to advertisers and other third parties for certain purposes, but again, the statistics contain no personally-identifiable information and cannot be used to gather such information.
In a few areas on our Web site, we may ask you to provide personally-identifiable information that will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain information, materials and services available from our Web site; to enable us to enhance your site visit; to assist you with customer service or technical support issues; to follow up with you after your visit; or to otherwise support your customer relationship with Lawyers Guide. Your provision of this information and participation in the areas that require it is completely optional. You may decide not to provide the information and not to visit or access the areas that require it.
For example, we may request such information from you when you:
1. Log-on to certain areas of our Web site that require your user name and password as a condition to gaining access to the information, materials or services in that area.
2. Register or sign-up to subscribe to a service.
3. Subscribe to a newsletter or ask to be added to our mailing lists for other products or services.
4. Place an order for a product or service.
5. Participate in a sweepstakes or other promotional offer.
6. Provide feedback in an online survey.
7. Participate in any online forum.
In each of the instances above, we typically ask for some or all of the following information: your name, e-mail address, phone number, mailing address, the type of business you are in, product preference information, any applicable identification number or password that we may require, as well as other similar information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain other information, materials and services. In the case of mailed materials, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.
