This Privacy Policy is intended to inform you about the Personal Information we collect, with whom we may share it, and how we protect it.

LawyersFinder collects "personal information" in the following ways: directly from users and clients, via web server logs, via cookies, and from other Internet websites. Personal information is defined as any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you. Personal information does not include information that cannot be reasonably linked to you, information that is made accessible to the public on the services, or information that is aggregated. Your personal information will not be sold by LawyersFinder.

LawyersFinder may keep this information indefinitely or to the extent permitted by law.

Personal Information from Cookies

The LawyersFinder website (the "Site") uses certain tags, log files, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies, sometimes from third parties (collectively, "cookies") to store and help track information about you in order to provide and deliver personalized services to you. A cookie is a data file that identifies you as an individual user. Cookies may be shared with our advertising partners as described below. In addition, LawyersFinder does not disclose its cookies to third parties unless required by a valid legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order.

By using the Site, you consent to the use of cookies for the following purposes:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are cookies that must be present in order for a website to provide its core functionality, such as accessing secure areas of the Site.
• Performance Cookies: Performance cookies, often known as Google Analytics cookies, gather information about how visitors interact with a website. Google Analytics is a free online analytics service provided by Google that helps us analyze how our website's visitors interact with it. Similar to inspecting footprints in the sand, Analytics analyzes information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying specific visitors. Analytics employs its own collection of cookies to monitor visitor interactions. These cookies are used to keep information such as the time of the current visit if the user has previously visited the site, and which website referred the user to the web page. Customers of Google Analytics can view a range of reports detailing how visitors interact with their website, allowing them to enhance their website and how people discover it. Each website uses a unique collection of cookies, and visitors are not traced across numerous sites. Customers of analytics are required to inform users of their use of analytics software. Some browsers will notify you when a cookie is being sent and allow you to deny cookies on a case-by-case basis in order to disable this form of a cookie. In addition to denying cookies, you can also install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on, which prohibits Google Analytics from gathering information about your website visits.
• Preference Cookies: These cookies enable websites to remember users' site preferences and choices, such as location and language. These cookies are automatically deleted when you exit your browser or after your session has expired.
• Cookies are enabled by default on the majority of web browsers. You can block or disable cookies on your device at any moment by selecting the corresponding option in the browser's preferences or options menu. Additionally, you can erase the cookies saved on your device. However, blocking, deactivating, or deleting cookies may restrict your ability to view all of the Site's pages or to use LawyersFinder's online services. By visiting Google's Ad Settings page, you can opt out of its use of cookies. You can also opt out of the use of cookies by third-party vendors on the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Personal Information Collected During the Compilation of Attorney Profiles

We collect and compile information about attorneys and post each attorney's personal profile online as part of the LawyersFinder attorney directory to assist consumers to locate attorneys in geographic and practice areas relevant to them, as well as to help attorneys market their legal services online. We acquire basic identifying information on individual attorneys from state bar organizations and other web sources, such as name, address, and the state in which they are licensed to practice law, which is then supplied by the attorneys themselves after they claim their accounts.

LawyersFinder may keep this information indefinitely or to the extent permitted by law.

Public Litigation Records and Court Records

As a public service, LawyersFinder gives users access to some public litigation records from federal and state courts. Some of the information contained above is the law of the land, and as such, it is only fair that it be made available to the public. LawyersFinder will not completely erase non-sealed court records unless compelled by legitimate court order.

Other Sites Linked from LawyersFinder

To better understand how other websites gather, utilize, and share your information, LawyersFinder suggests you review their respective privacy statements. LawyersFinder is not liable for the privacy policies or other content of websites other than its own.

Advertising by LawyersFinder on Third-Party Websites

To reach users who have already visited our platform, LawyersFinder advertises on third-party websites. This form of advertising campaign, known as remarketing, is carried out through contracts with third-party suppliers. Based on information acquired in cookies, web beacons, or other storage technologies from your earlier visits to LawyersFinder, our advertising partners will offer you ads promoting LawyersFinder services when you visit their websites or other sites across the Internet, as well as provide us with measurement services regarding the efficacy of our advertisements.
