Privacy Policy

 
 

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally identifiable information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as used in US privacy law and information security, is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

EUROPEAN VISITORS: Please do not electronically communicate with us through this website or by email. Instead, please exercise your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by first calling us at 001-602-228-2582 (ask for Nicholas C. Dranias) so that we are able to process your inquiry properly. Also, feel free to contact supervisory authorities within the EEA, including in your own Member State, about concerns you have related to our privacy practices. We recommend contacting the Dutch Data Protection Authority, also known as the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Keep in mind that if you are a potential or actual legal services client of an independent "of counsel" attorney to whom we have referred you, your communications are presumptively confidential. Additionally, advertisements of legal services by attorneys are also regulated by specific ethical rules. This privacy policy is intended to be a supplement, not a displacement of, any ethical duty your attorney may owe you in this regard.

Do we use ‘cookies’?
We do not, but our website hosting service and social media sites may do so. This is beyond our control. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information.
You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off all cookies. You do this through your browser (like Internet Explorer) settings. Each browser is a little different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct way to modify your cookies.

Third-party disclosure
We may affiliate with fully disclosed independent “of counsel” attorneys and policy experts to whom we may refer your matter for review. We do not otherwise sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information.

Third-party links
We may affiliate with fully disclosed independent “of counsel” attorneys and policy experts whose services and qualifications are posted for your consideration and review. We do not otherwise include or offer third-party products or services on our website.

California Online Privacy Protection Act
CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require a person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) 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 those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

According to CalOPPA we agree to the following:

  • Users can visit our site anonymously.

  • Once this privacy policy is created, we will 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 be 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 or emailing 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. However, we cannot control the policies of our third party hosting service (www.squarespace.com).

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?
It’s also important to note that we allow third-party behavioral tracking.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)
When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under 13, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, the nation’s consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under 13.

Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:
We will notify the users via email within 7 business days.

CAN SPAM Act
The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:

  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.

  • Process requests for legal and policy services and to send information and updates pertaining to orders.

  • We may also send you additional information related to our service.

  • Include the physical address of our business or site headquarters.

  • Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.
