Privacy Policy
Effective August 1, 2007
With respect to information submitted or collected on the S&F Site, You accept S&F’s privacy policy as set forth in this Section. This Section does not pertain to, and S&F is not responsible for the privacy practices of, any third party websites, if any, to which the S&F Site hyperlinks.
Activity Logging
When You use the Site, which may be hosted in part or its entirety by a third party, the Site will collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of "cookies" or Your "IP address") about Your activities. S&F uses this information (the "Movement Information") for internal purposes such as to administer the Site, improve the Site, and help S&F understand how the Site is being used including the demographics and "clickstreams" of its visitors. "Cookies" are small pieces of information stored on Your hard drive, not on the Site. You are always free to decline cookies if Your browser permits, but in that case, some portions of the Site may not operate properly. An "IP address" is a number that is automatically assigned to Your computer when You use the Internet.
Personally Identifiable Information
The Site is designed so that You may generally browse it without providing any Personally Identifiable Information (defined below). Certain areas of the Site, however, may require or allow the voluntarily submission of Personally Identifiable Information (for example, registration to receive S&F publications). S&F uses Your Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes for which it was submitted by You to S&F and for S&F to send you publications and invitations that may be of interest to you. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section, S&F does not share Your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties. "Personally Identifiable Information" means information that would allow someone to identify or contact You, such as Your name, physical or electronic mail address, and telephone number; provided, however, that Personally Identifiable Information does not include aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons, and does not include the Movement Information.
Removal of Personally Identifiable Information
S&F will use reasonable efforts to remove Your Personally Identifiable Information from our then current Site at any time upon Your written request to webmaster@silverfreedman.com. Such removal of Personally Identifiable Information will not ensure the permanent removal of such Personally Identifiable Information from the Site. For example, such Personally Identifiable Information may remain in S&F’s archival or backup copies of the Site.
Additional Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information
S&F may share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties, including affiliated firms and third parties performing services for or on behalf of Silver & Freedman, APLC. Such services may include communications, database, event management, hosting, mailing, and marketing services. Additionally, S&F cannot fully ensure that Your Personally Identifiable Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, S&F may be legally obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may circumvent S&F’s security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or an error may occur in the administration of the Site. In the unlikely event that S&F needs to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, S&F may, and You authorize S&F to, disclose any information about You to government officials as permitted by applicable law.
Miscellaneous Privacy Terms
S&F has implemented and follows appropriate technical measures to protect against the risks of unauthorized access to, erroneous disclosure of, and unlawful interception of Personally Identifiable Information. You should know, however, that S&F cannot fully eliminate such risks. S&F hopes this Section clarifies its procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Your information including Personally Identifiable Information. From time to time, S&F may modify this Section. Such modifications will be effective on the date that S&F posts the modified statement to the Site.
