Privacy PolicyEffective: May 21, 2010 This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes the privacy practices applicable to the Coblentz, Patch, Duffy & Bass LLP website located at www.coblentzlaw.com, including how personal information about you may be obtained, used, shared, and disclosed by us. This Policy also describes how you can opt out of some uses of personal information. By using our site, you are consenting to our processing of your information as set forth in this Policy now and as amended by us. I. INFORMATION WE COLLECT Personal information is information through which you can be identified, such as your name, address, email address, and/or telephone number. In general, it is not necessary to provide us with your personal information to use the site. When you visit our site, we do not collect personal information about you unless you voluntarily provide personal information to us (for example, by sending us an email or registering for a newsletter or event). If you contact us by email through the site, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence, and may use your email address, and any information that you provide to us in your message, to respond to you. If you provide personal information to us, we might receive additional information about you from other sources and combine that additional information with the personal information you provided. Non-personal information is information about you or your activities through which you cannot be personally identified. When you visit our site, we may collect non-personal information, such as the type of browser and operating system you are using, the domain name of your Internet service provider, which pages you visit on our site and how long you spend on each page, and the unique number assigned to your server or Internet connection. We may use this information for a variety of purposes, including to monitor use of and improve our site as well as for internal analysis. The collection of non-personal information can lead to the collection of personal information, such as when the unique number assigned to your server or Internet connection is assigned to an individual user, and personal information of that individual is provided by online tools that we use to, among other things, measure the use of our site. We also collect information due to the placement of cookies. Cookies are small files that contain information sent by a website that is saved on your computer's hard drive. When you visit our site, we may place a cookie on your computer to help us recognize and serve you better when you return. You may delete cookies from your computer or set your browser to reject cookies. To do so, look under the "Help" menu on your browser. Rejecting cookies may limit some functionalities of our site. II. HOW WE USE INFORMATION WE COLLECT We may use your personal and non-personal information for our own marketing and non-marketing purposes. For example, we may use personal information to respond to your email or telephone inquiries or to advise you of upcoming events, newsletters, or legal developments. In addition, we may add your personal information to our databases, including subscriber and contact lists. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. That being said, Your personal information may be shared with unrelated third parties, including contractors that provide services to us. For example, we may provide your personal information to third parties that assist with the operation or maintenance of our site or that we may hire to deliver newsletters or other materials to you. When we provide personal information to third parties, we require those parties to exercise reasonable care to protect your personal information, and we restrict the use of your personal information to the purposes for which it was provided to them. We may use non-personal information for a variety of purposes, including statistical or demographic analysis and improvements in the design and content of our site. If any or all of the assets of Coblentz, Patch, Duffy & Bass LLP are acquired by, or merged with, another entity, we will share some or all of your information with this entity. We reserve the right to disclose your personal information if we believe that our site is being used to commit unlawful acts; if disclosure of your personal information is required to comply with applicable laws or regulations or with a court or administrative order, or will help to enforce any applicable terms of use; to protect your safety or security, including the safety and security of property that belongs to you; or to protect the safety and security of our site or third parties. If you submit personal information to us, you understand that your information may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of California or the United States and the privacy laws may not be as protective as those of this state and country, and consent to such transfer and maintenance.
