This privacy policy, part of our overall Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”), covers personally identifiable information shared through LawSudo. This privacy policy applies to www.LawSudo.com, owned and operated by LawSudo (“LawSudo”). This privacy policy describes how LawSudo collects and uses the personal information you provide on our website: www.LawSudo.com. It also describes the choices available to you regarding our use of your personal information and how you can access and update this information. LawSudo takes your privacy seriously. We will not sell, lease, or exchange your personal data to, or otherwise share your personal data with, third parties in ways other than described in this Privacy Policy. By using LawSudo, including services available at the LawSudo.com domains, you are using a service provided by LawSudo (collectively, the “Service”) and you agree to be bound by the Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy. Some capitalized terms used in this Privacy Policy and not otherwise defined may be defined in the Terms of Service. This Privacy Policy only addresses activities from our servers.

1. Information Collection & Use

Communications with LawSudo We use third-party service providers to assist us in managing and administering communications and emails sent to us through the Website and through some LawSudo managed sites. Any personal information disclosed through such communications will be governed by such third party vendors’ privacy policy. Account Subscriptions If you choose to become a LawSudo customer, LawSudo will collect the following personally identifiable information from you: credit card number, credit card expiration date, and zip code, and keep this information on file in our secure server in order to process your recurring invoices. You may, at your option, also provide your company name, full billing address and phone number. This information is used to verify credit card authenticity, and process payments as per your applicable service agreement. Upon discontinuation of LawSudo service, your credit card information will be destroyed on our billing system. If we are unable to process your subscription for a given month, this information, along with your account information, may be used to contact you. Third Party Payment Processors LawSudo uses third party payment processors to assist it in processing your personally identifiable payment information securely. Such third party processors’ use of your personal information is governed by their respective privacy policies which may or may not contain privacy protections as protective as this privacy policy. Hosted websites Users hosting websites with LawSudo are given tools that may ask you to optionally enter your email address when making comments on their website, or contacting them through their website. Since users on LawSudo can manipulate the HTML code on their site directly, there are opportunities available for a malicious user to inject code that would log your information before it reaches our system. In addition, once in our system, website owners will have the opportunity to review and modify any information entered into their website. Since we do not have full control over how members run their individual sites, this privacy policy does not apply to any hosted LawSudo website that you do not own. You should check that you trust the owner of a particular website before submitting personally identifiable information on that site. Server Logs When accessing web pages on the Website, LawSudo may log your IP address, access URL, time of access, geographic location, browser type, and referral URL in order to provide us with internal information regarding site traffic statistics. This information may also be used to identify users who are using the service for spam or other activity that is deemed in conflict with our Terms of Service. Otherwise, this information is used in the aggregate, and is never linked back to any personally identifiable information. Comments and User Content Posted to the Website If you post any Comments or User Content on the Website, you should be aware that any personally identifiable information you choose to provide there may be read, collected, or used by other users of the Website, as well as other third parties. We are not responsible for the information you choose to submit in these forums. We cannot guarantee that other users have not made copies of and/or will not use such information outside of the Website. We are not responsible for information you choose to post in this forum. Social Media The Website provides users the opportunity to interact and post content through various social media sites including, but not limited to, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Dropbox, Tumblr, Foursquare, Flickr, YouTube and Vimeo. Your interactions with such tools, and any information you provide in connection with these interactions are publicly viewable outside of the Website domain. Each social media site has its own privacy policies which may be more or less protective than this Policy. If you do not wish for this information to be disclosed, then you should not use these tools. We are not responsible for information you choose to post in this forum. Our site also includes Social Media Features, such as the Facebook button and Widgets, such as the Share this button or interactive mini-programs that run on our site. These Features may collect your IP address, which page you are visiting on our site, and may set a cookie to enable the Feature to function properly. Social Media Features and Widgets are either hosted by a third party or hosted directly on our Site. Your interactions with these Features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

2. Uses Of Information

LawSudo uses information collected through its Service to send out notifications regarding service related issues (such as maintenance periods, billing problems, account expirations, and other items that may impact service). We do not send contact information unless the matter is deemed urgent, and most communication will occur through the preferred email associated with your LawSudo account. We also may use and disclose your information to our third party service providers in order to send you messages regarding new services or other products from LawSudo. Information collected through our service logs is used only to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding Website traffic. This statistical information is not otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular user of the system. LawSudo is the sole owner of information collected on https://www.lawsudo.com/. Your information is never shared, leased or given to any third parties in ways other than disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

3. Information Security

Secure passwords, SSL encryption, disk-based encryption, firewalls, and other measures are in place that helps us to protect your data. However, no company, including LawSudo, can fully eliminate security risks associated with the transmission of personal information through online transactions, and you do so at your own risk. If you have any questions about security on the Website, you can send us a customer care request.

6. Information Sharing And Disclosure

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable) We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our marketing partners. This information does not identify individual users.

We also may share aggregated user information with third parties who help us to analyze our user base to improve the Service. Other than as described herein, we do not link aggregate user data with personally identifiable information. Personally Identifiable InformationLawSudo employs third-party service providers to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include credit card processing, email service providers, analyzing data. These service providers have access to personal information needed to perform such functions on our behalf and authorized to use your personal information only as necessary to provide these services to us. In the event of a business transfer or sale by LawSudo, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the commitments made in any LawSudo pre-existing Privacy Policy (unless, of course, you consent otherwise). We may release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms of Service; or protect the rights, property, or safety of LawSudo, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.

This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer websites, to track users’ movements around websites and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not link this automatically-collected data to personally identifiable information.

8. Cookies

Like most websites, we use small bits of data called cookies stored on users’ computers to simulate a continuous connection.
