Law Bulletin Media (”LBM”), parent company of JuraLaw, has adopted this privacy policy in recognition of the importance of protecting the privacy of your personally identifiable information. Your privacy is important to LBM. LBM’s intent is to balance its legitimate business interest in collecting and using personally identifiable information and your reasonable expectations of privacy. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by or through LBM’s public websites and does not apply to information collected or used by LBM through other means.
1. SUBMISSION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
LBM may ask you to provide personally identifiable information, which is any information that can be used to identify a specific individual, in order to enhance your experience on LBM’s websites and improve LBM’s ability to serve you. LBM may ask you to submit information including your preferences and information regarding your job and areas of interest in order to better serve you. LBM may at times also ask for other information, including, for example, when you submit a form response or respond to surveys being conducted on its websites. LBM also may collect information when you purchase products or services from LBM.
2. USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
LBM’s intent in collecting personally identifiable information is to provide users with an improved experience on its websites. This may include interactive communications, such as contacting you for a survey. In addition, LBM may use this information to: (1) contact you with legal notices, (2) advise you of any material changes or additional to LBM’s User Agreement or this Privacy Policy, and (3) advise you of any changes in your status as a registered user.
LBM may conduct research based on its users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to LBM during user registration, as well as on order forms, during promotions, through surveys, and from its server log files. This information is used to better serve its users. Aggregated information, which is statistical information that may be compiled from personally identifiable information, but which is not personally identifiable itself, may be shared with advertisers or other businesses.
Unless LBM provides specific notice prior to collecting particular information (such as, for example, prior to a survey), LBM will not provide users’ personally identifiable information to any third party, except that it may provide or publish information in the aggregate.
LBM also reserves the right to send you offers about its services and those of its affiliates. If you do not wish to receive these offers, please contact JuraLawSupport@lbpc.com to request removal from this list. You may re-register at any time unless your account has been terminated by LBM.
3. APPLICABILITY OF PRIVACY POLICY
LBM’s advertisers or other websites that have links on LBM’s websites may also collect personally identifiable information directly from you. This Privacy Policy does not cover the actions of those advertisers or linked websites. Please visit those advertisers or websites to view their privacy policies.
4. DISCLOSURE IN SPECIAL CASES
As stated previously, LBM will not—without specific notification—as a rule disclose personal information submitted to LBM to third parties. However, LBM may disclose such information when required by law, subpoena or order issued by a court or governmental body, or when LBM has reason to believe that disclosing the information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating LBM’s User Agreement or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) LBM’s rights or property, other LBM users, or anyone else who may be harmed.
5. DATA SECURITY
LBM has physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the information collected online. However, no security system is impenetrable. LBM cannot guarantee the security of its database, nor can it guarantee that information will not be intercepted after being transmitted from you to LBM over the internet.
6. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION BY LBM SERVERS
LBM’s web servers automatically collect certain personally identifiable information, such as which pages each user visits and the domain name of visitors. This information is used for a number of purposes internally and may also be provided to advertisers on an aggregated, anonymous basis.
LBM also places a “cookie” on the browsers of computers of users of its websites to store and track information. A “cookie” is a data file that can be used to tell when your computer has visited a certain website. The information may be used for editorial purposes, for measuring traffic patterns, and to make sure that you do not have to reenter your password multiple times during a visit. Advertisers on LBM’s website also may have their own cookies.
Any user may opt-out of cookies (including but not limited to LBM’s cookies) by changing a setting on your browser. Opting out of cookies by changing this setting will disable all cookies and may cause problems with some websites.
7. RIGHT TO ALTER POLICY
Because Internet technology is changing constantly, LBM reserves the right to change its Privacy Policy, as well as its User Agreement, at any time. If LBM makes revisions to the way it collects or uses personal data, LBM may provide notice of those changes by taking action as LBM deems appropriate under the circumstances, including without limitation, posting the revised draft of this Privacy Policy on its website. Any changes will apply as soon as notice is posted. Your continued use of LBM’s websites indicates your acceptance of those changes.
