AttorneyLegalDirectory.com
("AttorneyLegalDirectory.com") is a “Directory Service”. This
policy discloses our privacy practices and contains detailed
information about the following: |
| 1. |
What information of yours does
AttorneyLegalDirectory.com collect? |
| |
When you submit a case to
AttorneyLegalDirectory.com, we ask that you provide your name,
e-mail address, address, city, state, zip code, phone numbers
and other information regarding your complaint. If you are an
attorney, you will also be asked to provide your firm name,
address, telephone number, state where you are licensed, and
bar number. In the course of your use of the site, we may also
request additional information from you. If you are searching
for an attorney, you will be asked to describe your situation
so that attorneys can evaluate your legal needs and generate a
response to assist you.
AttorneyLegalDirectory.com
collects information so we can understand what makes you
different from its other unique users. Information collected
online is usually defined as being either anonymous or
personally identifiable.
Anonymous information refers
to data that cannot be tied back to a specific individual. For
example, AttorneyLegalDirectory.com may collect certain
information each time a visitor comes to our site so we can
improve the overall quality of the visitor's online
experience. AttorneyLegalDirectory.com collects the visitor's
IP address, referral data, browser and platform type (e.g., a
Internet Explorer browser on a PC platform).
AttorneyLegalDirectory.com may also collect certain personal
information in the following ways from different parts of its
Web site. If you contact AttorneyLegalDirectory.com, we may
keep a record of that e-mail correspondence. We do not collect
any e-mail addresses of those who communicate with
AttorneyLegalDirectory.com via e-mail. We use the information
provided and collected so that we may respond to the
e-mail. |
| 2. |
What are "cookies" and how does
AttorneyLegalDirectory.com use them? |
| |
In addition to the personally identifiable
information that AttorneyLegalDirectory.com collects we may
also collect anonymous information passively using cookies. A
cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification
number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of
your computer so that the site administrator may identify your
computer and passively track its activities on the website.
This unique number identifies your Web browser --but not you--
to AttorneyLegalDirectory.com computers whenever you visit our
site. A cookie will not let a website know any personally
identifiable information about you, such as your real name and
address. AttorneyLegalDirectory.com uses cookies designed to
let us know which particular computer you are using, but
nothing more. AttorneyLegalDirectory.com is not generally
interested in any one individual and does not collect
personally identifiable information about any one person using
cookies. Since cookies are only text files, they cannot run
like a program on your computer, search your computer for
other information, or transmit any information to anyone.
