The Firm is committed to the protection of your privacy. In the course of using this Website, you may provide the Firm with information about yourself. The Firm works diligently to ensure that it has taken appropriate administrative and technical measures to prevent the unauthorized or unlawful use of your information, and to prevent any accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, such information. This Privacy Policy explains how the Firm collects, uses, and safeguards information collected on the Firm Website.

The Firm reserves the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time, for any reason. Any changes will appear on this page. By continuing to use this Website, you accept the present terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

Collection of Information

The Firm collects information about visitors to the Firm Website in two primary ways:

First, the Firm uses technologies that automatically collect and store Non-Personal Data when you visit the Website, including sending one or more “cookies,” “web beacons,” or other anonymous identifiers to your device.

Second, you may also affirmatively provide information about yourself (“Personally Identifiable Information”), such as by using contact forms on the Website or by calling or e-mailing the Firm.

The Firm may keep any collected information for an unlimited period of time, or for the amount of time permitted by law.

Non-Personal Data

When you visit the Firm Website, the Firm may automatically collect certain Non-Personal Data such as:

• Your IP address and geographic location;
• The date and time you access the Firm Website and other Websites;
• The URLs of Websites and pages you visit before, during, and after you visit the Firm Website; and
• Information about your device hardware and software.

The Firm may also place cookies on your computer to recognize you on return visits, to enhance your browsing experience, and to collect additional information about you for traffic analysis. Cookies are small files with code and text that are saved on your device upon accessing certain Websites that use them. Web beacons are also small files saved to your device, often by web analytics software to track visitor information. Cookies and web beacons allow the Firm to conduct Website traffic analysis to better understand the Website’s visitors, and while they contain information unique to your device and browser, they do not provide any Personally Identifiable Information.

The Firm may contract with third-party service providers to better understand the Firm’s Website visitors. These third parties may use cookies and other identifiers to collect Non-Personal Data, such as your gender, age, industry, interests, etc., but the Firm does not control how third parties use these technologies.

Acceptance of these anonymous identifiers is not required for site functionality. You may adjust your browser settings or use other means to prevent cookies from being placed on your device, but doing so may result in reduced functionality and a less personalized browsing experience.

The Firm uses a tool called “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this Website. Google may use and share information collected about you in accordance with the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy. The Firm Website may also use Google Display Advertising to aggregate additional information about visitors to enhance the browsing experience. This may include the use of one or more of the following: Remarketing, Google Display Network Impression Reporting, the DoubleClick Campaign Manager integration, or Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. The Firm’s use of these products, if any, is in accordance with Google’s Policy Requirements for Display Advertising. The Firm will not merge Personally Identifiable Information with Non-Personal Data without your prior affirmative (i.e., opt-in) consent to that merger. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits by disabling cookies or by opting out of Google Analytics.

We may share your Non-Personal Data with third parties or permit third parties to place cookies, tags, web beacons, and other anonymous identifiers to collect additional Non-Personal Data when you browse the Website. We or other third parties may use the collected Non-Personal Data to serve advertisements and targeted advertisements to you before, during, and after your visit to the Website.
