SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We have implemented commercially accepted technical and organizational measures designed with the intent to (i) secure your Personal Information; and (ii) mitigate the risk of accidental loss or unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure of your Personal Information. Employees, contractors, or service providers are granted access to your Personal Information only on a need-to-know basis.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. WHILE WE STRIVE TO USE COMMERCIALLY ACCEPTED MEANS TO PROTECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ITS ABSOLUTE SECURITY. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY TRANSMISSION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR CIRCUMVENTION OF ANY PRIVACY SETTINGS OR SECURITY MEASURES, INCLUDING THOSE CONTAINED ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INTERCEPTED INFORMATION SENT VIA THE INTERNET, AND TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE US FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF INTERCEPTED INFORMATION IN ANY UNAUTHORIZED MANNER.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) an access credential or password, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We encourage you not to share your password with anyone. We urge you to be careful about giving out information in public areas, like message boards. The information you share in public areas may be viewed by any user of the Internet. You are responsible for all use of your credentials.
Minimize the Personal Information you share with us. Do not provide or submit sensitive Personal Information to us unless you have confirmed that we have specifically requested such information.
YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Under applicable laws (including, but not limited to, the New Jersey Consumer Data Privacy Act and the California Privacy Policy Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020) and their implementing regulations, you may have certain rights in connection with your Personal Information.
If you have such rights and your request complies with the requirements under applicable laws, we will give effect to your rights, as required by law. We may also maintain records of all your rights and requests, as permitted by law.
Right of Access (also known as the Right to Confirm)
You may have the right to confirm whether we collect and/or process your Personal Information, and if we do in fact collect and/or process your information, you may have the right to access such Personal Information, subject to certain limitations.
Right to Know and Data Portability
You may have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection, processing, retention, and use of your Personal Information.
Once we receive your request (via the address provided earlier) and confirm your identity (a “verifiable request”), we may deliver your Personal Information in a format that is portable, and, to the extent technically practicable, readily usable and transmissible without hindrance, where the processing is carried out by automated means.
Upon a verifiable request, we will transfer that information to another entity directly.
Before responding to a verifiable request, we may be required by law and regulations to remove certain sensitive information from collected Personal Information.
NOTE that your right to know and data portability is not an absolute right. Unless required by applicable law, we are not required to comply with a request if such compliance could interfere with our rights or our legal representation, advice, or counsel of you or another person.
Right to Delete
You may have the right to request that we delete any of your Personal Information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive a verifiable request, we will review your verifiable request to see if an exception allowing us to retain the information applies.
Alternatively, in responding to a request to delete, we may present you with the choice to delete select portions of your Personal Information.
NOTE that your right to delete is not an absolute right. We may deny deletion requests when we need to retain Personal Information for certain statutory business reasons, as permitted by law, or in connection with ongoing legal matter. We are not required to comply with a request if such compliance could interfere with our rights or our legal representation, advice, or counsel of you or another person.
Right to Correct
You may have the right to request that we correct inaccurate Personal Information, accounting for the nature of the Personal Information and the purposes of the processing of the Personal Information, subject to certain limitations (the “right to correct”).
NOTE that your right to correct is not an absolute right and we must take the Personal Information’s processing purposes and general nature into account. Please note that we may require you to provide documentation if necessary to determine whether the Personal Information, or your requested correction to the Personal Information, is accurate. However, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct inaccurate Personal Information upon a verifiable request. We are not required to comply with a request if such compliance could interfere with our rights or our legal representation, advice, or counsel of you or another person.
Right to Limit (also known as Right to Restrict Sensitive Personal Information Processing)
At this time, we only use sensitive Personal Information for appropriate, necessary business purposes and as described in this Privacy Policy. In certain jurisdictions, we may require you to provide your affirmative, express consent or to opt-in before we may process sensitive Personal Information.
Nevertheless, you may have the right to direct us to limit the collection and use of your sensitive Personal Information for what is only necessary to perform the services you have requested and/or for purposes otherwise permitted by law.
Right to Opt-Out
You have the right to opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your Personal Information. Please note, however, that we do not “sell” or “share” the Personal Information, as those terms are defined under the CCPA.
You may authorize another person, acting on your behalf, to opt out of the processing of your Personal Information for one or more of the purposes specified above.
We will comply with an opt-out request to the extent we are able to authenticate, with commercially reasonable effort, your identity or your authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf; provided, however, that we may deny an opt-out request if we have a good faith, reasonable and documented belief that such request was fraudulent. We may request the additional information if we cannot verify your identity or your authorized agent’s authority to act on your behalf.
Right of Non-Discrimination
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights; provided, however, that we may not be able to perform or deliver our services to you as intended.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise your rights described above, please submit a request by contacting us via the form at the bottom of this page, include: (Subject: Exercising Privacy Rights).
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE MAY NOT ACCOMMODATE OR HONOR YOUR CHOICE OR REQUEST AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND IN CONNECTION WITH ONGOING LEGAL MATTERS, SERVICES, OR DISPUTES.
Please note that we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of your other rights). We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to facilitate our response.
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf (an authorized agent), may make a request related to your Personal Information.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to a verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be limited in the number of requests you may submit within a 12-month period. For the avoidance of doubt, your request to us must:
- Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative; and
- Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.
We will only use Personal Information provided in the request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make it.
Response Timing and Format
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days, generally describing our verification process and providing an expected response timeframe, unless we have already granted or denied the request. If you do not receive confirmation within the 10-business day timeframe, please contact us.
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to an additional 45 days), we first inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
We may deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.
The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.
For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
Denial of Right
To the extent permitted by law, we may deny your request (even in part) if necessary for us or our service provider(s), or contractor(s) to perform the following:
- To complete the task for which the Personal Information was collected;
- To provide legal services requested by a client or prospective client;
- To otherwise perform a contract between a consumer and us;
- To help to ensure security and integrity to the extent the use of a consumer’s Personal Information is reasonably necessary and proportionate for those purposes;
- To debug to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality;
- To exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise that consumer’s right of free speech, or exercise another right provided for by law;
- To enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with the expectations of a reasonable consumer;
- To respond to or to assert disputes asserted by or against you or another person; and
- To comply with laws, rules, regulations, and/or legal obligations.
Appeals Process
If you are unsatisfied with our decision to not comply with your request, you may submit an appeal. We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the decisions, not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of an appeal.
If your appeal is denied, you may contact your local state Attorney General to submit a complaint.
