Privacy Policy

Privacy

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 two ways: directly from the user, and from our Web server logs. 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 email address, name, phone number, and short case description). 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). If you submit any sensitive information, you do so at your own risk, and we will not be liable to you or responsible for the consequences of your submission.

Information that you provide to us through the contact form will be used so that we may respond to your inquiry.

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 site;
The date and time of your visit;
The web page from which you arrived at 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.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics or other similar technologies (the "Analytics Technologies") to collect and process certain information about you and your use of the site. The information collected by Analytics Technologies is statistical data and does not include personal information. We do not maintain it or associate it with personal information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties. You may learn more about how Google uses the information it collects by visiting the following site "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps" located here. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the site is restricted by the Google Privacy Policy (located at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/).

E-mail Forms

We use a third-party service 123FormBuilder to process forms. Form records are private, use 128-bit encryption, and can be used exclusively by us. 123FormBuilder never discloses the content of submissions under any circumstance, unless specifically requested by legal state authorities.
