We may use identifying information to track web site activity and asset downloads, as well as to target promotional emails based on the provided preferences and to associate forum comments, blog posts and wiki contributions to the specific user.

Before or at the time of collecting Personal Information, we will identify the purposes for which information is being collected. We will not retain your Personal Information longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws or regulations.

We will protect Personal Information by reasonable security safeguards, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification. However, we may disclose Personal Information collected if we have received your permission beforehand or in very special circumstances, such as when we believe that such disclosure is required by law or other special circumstances described below.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union, which includes the United Kingdom. We are responsible as controller of that Personal Information for the purposes of those laws.
Collection of Non-Personal/Anonymous Information
In using our products or services, anonymous network information may be transmitted back to us to determine how users are interacting with our products, assist us with improving our products, and provide alerts regarding available software updates/upgrades.

That information is used to improve the usability, performance, and effectiveness of the website. Please read the "Cookies" section below for more information.

A “cookie” is a small data file that can be placed on your hard drive when you visit certain web sites. We may use cookies to collect, store, and sometimes track information for statistical purposes to improve the products and services we provide and to manage our telecommunications networks. If you have registered for our services and have created your own profile, we will use a cookie to save your settings and to provide customizable and personalized services. These cookies do not enable third parties to access any of your customer information. Additionally, be aware that if you visit other web sites where you are prompted to log in or that are customizable, you may be required to accept cookies.

Users are asked to provide certain Personal Information when they sign-up for our services including but not limited to, name, address, telephone number, and the type of personal computer being used to access the services. The Personal Information collected from users during the registration process is used to manage each user’s account (such as for billing purposes) and contact the user if there are any questions with the registration and/or service. We may also contact you by phone or e-mail with sales inquiries for additional products and services offered by us. This information is not shared with third parties, unless specifically stated otherwise or in special circumstances. However, in instances where we and a partner jointly promote the services, we may provide the partner certain Personal Information for the purpose of allowing us and the partner to fulfill and assess the results of the promotion. In this instance, Personal Information may not be used by the partner for any other purpose. We may also generate non-identifying and aggregate profiles from the Personal Information users provide during registration (such as the total number, but not the names, of users). As explained in more detail below, we may use this aggregated and non-identifying information to sell advertisements that appear on the services.
Your Profile
We may store information that we collect through cookies, log files and third parties to create a profile of our users and visitors. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users that details, for example, their viewing preferences.

This profile may be used to tailor a user’s visit to our websites, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share personally identifiable elements of your profile with other third parties. Your profile is shared in aggregate form only.

If you order products or services directly from us, we will use the Personal Information you provide only to process that order. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.

Your Personal Information and responses will remain strictly confidential, even if the survey is conducted by a third party. Participation in our surveys is voluntary.
We take the information we receive from individuals responding to our surveys and combine (or aggregate) it with the responses of others to create broader, generic responses to the survey questions (such as specialty, types of litigation, city, forms most commonly used, types of clients, or other demographic information). We then use the aggregated information to improve the quality of our services to you, and to develop new legal software services and products. This aggregated, non-personally identifying information may be shared with third parties.
