Privacy Statement
|
Your privacy is important to SulloLaw. We want our Users to feel as comfortable
as possible when visiting our website and using its services.At SulloLaw, we understand
your legal issues are a very personal, private subject, and we will tell you how
we protect your information and what choices you have about how that information
is used. We urge you to read our Privacy Policy and our
User Agreement so that you will understand both our commitment to you and
your privacy, and how you can participate in that commitment.
The following Articles make up our Privacy Policy. We hope that reading them gives
you a clear idea of how we manage information regarding you.
Questions regarding this statement should be directed to the Webmaster by emailing
privacy@SulloLaw.com.
ARTICLE 1: Information Not Governed by our Privacy Policy
Please remember that any information (including personal and legal information)
that you reveal in a public forum (such as a bulletin board, mail list, chat room/event)
is not subject to this Privacy Policy and will be seen by third parties not related
to SulloLaw and may be used by them to contact you or for unauthorized purposes.
Also, if you link to a third party site from SulloLaw, any information you reveal
on that site is not subject to this Privacy Policy. You should consult the privacy
policies of each web site you visit.
ARTICLE 2: Sources of Information
SulloLaw collects information from two distinct sources: (1) "Attorney(s)"; and
(2) "User(s)". Both Attorneys and Users can browse our web site without entering
any personal information and therefore remain anonymous during their visit.
ARTICLE 3: Information Provided By User to Attorney
Under no circumstances will information provided by User be disseminated by SulloLaw
without the express consent of User. When requesting an attorney consultation
or purchasing attorney services, our registration form asks a User his/her name,
email address, preferences, demographic information and various legal specific questions.
Such information is forwarded to Attorney only upon approval by User.
User's contact information (Name, address, phone number, email address, etc.) will
not be sold or distributed to third parties.
We do use collect data from Users for demographic profiling. This information is
shared with advertisers on an aggregate basis.
ARTICLE 4: Ask-A-Lawyer Consultation Requests
If User chooses to request a consultation from Attorney listed in our Ask-A-Lawyer
directory, User may do so directly by telephone, by fax, by mail or by using the
online Request Form. As the Request Form states, User should NOT send Attorney any
confidential information until and unless Attorney asks User to do so.
If User chooses to use the online Request Form, User's message is typically transmitted
directly to Attorney by Email or through an independent provider's "Email to Fax
service". SulloLaw can take no responsibility for the transmission or delivery of
any such message. A copy of most messages sent via the Request Form is sent to our
archives, where it may be used on a confidential basis solely for SulloLaw's own
purposes, such as to determine traffic flow, attorney responsiveness or visitor
satisfaction. SulloLaw will maintain the confidentiality of any request to
the fullest extent permitted by law.
If User, within a short period of time, sends multiple copies of a similar message
using a Request Form, or tries to evade our programs designed to prevent the sending
of multiple messages, our systems or staff may alert Attorneys to that fact to enable
Attorneys to take that into account in determining whether or not to reply or grant
a Consultation. We may also bar User from future use of the websites or any of its
features.
ARTICLE 5: Report Requests
SulloLaw never requires reports from Attorneys on who contacts them through our
websites, or who becomes a client, or the nature or specifics of any matter. SulloLaw
is a listing directory and online market place for the sale of legal services by
Attorneys. SulloLaw is not a "Legal Referral Service" or "Law Firm". SulloLaw does
not practice law. As a listing directory and online market place, SulloLaw will
never receive any portion of any Attorney's fees should an Attorney-client relationship
be established through this web site.
ARTICLE 6: Information Provided By Attorneys
The information collected from Attorney will be used in the Attorney's profile and
disseminated to User.
ARTICLE 7: IP Addresses
The SulloLaw website logs IP addresses and browser types, but we do not link IP
addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that a User's session
will be tracked, but the User will be anonymous. IP addresses are logged for system
administration purposes. These logs are analyzed to constantly improve the value
of the materials available on the website.
ARTICLE 8: Feedback
Users may provide feedback (e.g., input and suggestions) to SulloLaw regarding the
SulloLaw website. Users providing feedback must provide their name and email address.
Any contact information entered when providing feedback will only be used to acknowledge
or respond to that feedback.
ARTICLE 9: General Advice
Finally, although SulloLaw has a very strong Privacy Protection policy on our end,
and does its utmost to protect privacy of all visitors, we bear no responsibility
for anyone else's conduct with respect to material User's transmit. As is true with
ANY Internet usage and access to ANY website, if you are using someone else's computer,
or someone else has access to your computer, or you are using a corporate or other
"network", it may be possible for that "someone else" or the "network" operator
to retrieve copies of Email you sent from the computer and/or to trace the places
you have been visiting on the Internet.
ARTICLE 10: Amendments
We may amend this Privacy Policy on a prospective basis (i.e., for future visits)
at any time by posting a revised policy on our website. Further, nothing in this
Privacy Policy is designed to protect the privacy of visitors whose use of the Company's
websites is, in the reasonable opinion of SulloLaw or its attorney customers, intended
for illegal, improper or abusive purposes, for purposes of marketing or solicitation,
or would violate any other terms and conditions relating to use of the web site.
This SulloLaw Privacy statement is effective October 1, 2000.
