Privacy Policy

What Information Do We Collect?

When you visit this website, you may provide us with two types of information: personal information that you knowingly choose to disclose, collected on an individual basis, and website usage information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our website.

1. Personal Information You Choose to Provide  - “Personal Information” refers to data by which you may be personally identified, such as name, email address, employer, job title and department, and telephone number.

  • Self-Disclosed Personal Information - When you use any of our chatbots, the "contact us" form, sign up for newsletters, and/or engage us to provide services, you will provide us with information about yourself. If you become a client of Sluder Law Firm, PLC (the "Firm"), such personal information may be subject to attorney/client privilege and confidentiality.

  • Emailed Personal Information - If you choose to correspond with us through email (including the “contact us” form), we may retain the content of your email messages, together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.

2. Website Use Information - Information gathered by our website may be personal information or it may be “non-personal information,” which is based on your behaviors while viewing the website but does not identify you specifically.

  • Cookies - Similar to other commercial websites, our website utilizes a standard technology called “cookies” (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server log files to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and web server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent on our website, and the websites visited just before and just after our website.

How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?

Broadly speaking, we use personal information for purposes of administering our business activities, providing the products and services you requested, processing your payment, monitoring the use of the service, conducting our marketing and promotional efforts, improving our content and service offerings, and customizing our site's content, layout, and services for other lawful purposes. These uses enhance our site and better tailor it to meet your needs.

Furthermore, such information may be shared with others on an aggregate basis. Personally identifiable information or business information will not be shared with parties except as required by law. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services, and special offers we believe you will find valuable. You may notify us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us at the link provided in the newsletter.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a very small text document, often including an anonymous unique identifier. When you visit a website, that site's computer requests permission to store this file in a part of your hard drive designated for cookies. Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but, to protect your privacy, your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent by other sites. Browsers are typically set to accept cookies. However, if you prefer not to receive cookies, you may configure your browser to refuse them. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, some areas of our site may not function effectively when viewed by users. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive or pass on computer viruses.

How Do We Use Information We Collect from Cookies?

As you visit and browse our website, the site uses cookies to differentiate you from other users. In some cases, we also use cookies to enhance security, preventing you from having to log in more than necessary. Cookies, in conjunction with our web server's log files, allow us to calculate the aggregate number of people visiting our website and which parts of the site are most popular. This helps us gather feedback to constantly improve our website and better serve our clients. Cookies do not allow us to gather any personal information about you, and we do not intentionally store any personal information that your browser provided to us in your cookies.

IP Addresses

IP addresses are used by your computer every time you are connected to the Internet. Your IP address is a number used by computers on the network to identify your computer. IP addresses are automatically collected by our web server as part of demographic and profile data known as traffic data, enabling data (such as the web pages you request) to be sent to you.

What About Legally Compelled Disclosure of Information?

We may disclose information when legally compelled to do so, in other words, when we, in good faith, believe that the law requires it or for the protection of our legal rights. We may also disclose account information when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or bring legal action against someone who may be violating our Terms of Service or to protect the safety of our users and the public.

What About Other Websites Linked to Our Website?

We are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our website or the information or content contained therein. Often, links to other websites are provided solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of our website. Please remember that when you use a link to go from our website to another website, our Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites that have a link on our website, are subject to that website's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies before proceeding.

Your Consent

By using our website, you consent to our collection and use of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time with or without notice.

Our Commitment To Data Security

Please note that your information will be stored and processed on our computers in the United States. The laws on holding personal data in the United States may be less stringent than the laws of your country of residence or citizenship. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have implemented appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
