PRIVACY
POLICY
Our Privacy Policy is
designed to assist you in understanding how we collect and use the personal
information you provide to us, and to assist you in making informed decisions
when using our site and our products and services.
What Information Do We Collect?: When you visit our Web site you may provide
us with two types of information: personal
information you knowingly choose to disclose to us that is collected on an
individual basis, and Web site use
information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our site.
1. Personal
Information You Choose to Provide:
Registration/Purchase
Information: You
will provide us information about yourself, your firm or company, and your
practices when you register to be a member of MyStateLegalForms.com, register
for certain services, register for email newsletters and alerts, or purchase
items through our site. You may also provide additional comments on how you see
MyStateLegalForms.com servicing your needs and interests.
Email Information: If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the
content of your email messages, together with your email address and our
responses.
2. Web
Site Use Information: Similar to other commercial Web sites, our Web site utilizes a standard
technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are
Cookies?", below) and Web server logs to collect information about how our
Web site is used. Information gathered
through cookies and Web server logs may include the date and time of visits,
the pages viewed, time spent at our Web site, and the Web sites visited just
before and just after our Web site. We,
our advertisers, and ad serving companies may also use small pieces of code
called "web beacons" or "clear gifs" to determine which
advertisements and promotions users have seen and how users responded to them.
How Do We Use the Information That You Provide to Us?: Generally speaking, we use personal
information for purposes of administering and expanding our business
activities, providing customer service, and making available other products and
services to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to notify you about important changes to our Web site, new services
and special offers we think you will find valuable. You have the opportunity to opt in, or opt out
of specific types of communications on our subscription management (this
needs to be a link to contact us regarding subscriptions) page. You have the opportunity to opt out any time
you receive an email from us by using the link provided at the bottom of the
email communication. You also may notify
us at any time if you do not wish to receive these offers by emailing us
(this needs to be a link to email us).
What Are Cookies?: A cookie is a very small text document, which often includes an
anonymous unique identifier. When you
visit a Web site, that site's computer asks your computer for permission to
store this file in a part of your hard drive specifically designated for
cookies. Each Web site 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 Web site to access the cookies it has
already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites.
How Do We Use
Information We Collect from Cookies?: As you
shop on our Web site, the site uses its cookies to differentiate you from other
shoppers so your shopping cart is only available to you. In some cases, we also use cookies to prevent
you from seeing unnecessary advertisements, or in requiring you to log in more
than is necessary for security. Cookies,
in conjunction with our Web server's log files, allow us to calculate the
aggregate number of people visiting our Web site and which parts of the site
are most popular. This helps us gather
feedback in order to constantly improve our Web site and better serve our
customers. Cookies do not allow us to
gather any personal information about you and we do not generally store any
personal information that you provided to us in your cookies.
Sharing Information
with Third Parties: We may
enter into alliances, partnerships or other business arrangements with third
parties who may be given access to personal information (including, but not
limited to, your email address) for the purpose of providing you information
regarding products and services that we think will be of interest to you,
unless you opt out of receiving such communications. In connection with alliances, partnerships or
arrangements, we may also provide certain information to third parties if we
have determined that the information will be used in a responsible manner by a
responsible third party. For example,
some of our partners operate stores or provide services on our site, while
others power offerings developed by us for your use. We also use third parties to facilitate our
business, including, but not limited to, sending email and processing credit
card payments. In connection with these
offerings and business operations, our partners and other third parties may
have access to your personal information for use in connection with business
activities. As we develop our business,
we may buy or sell assets or business offerings. Customer, email, and visitor information is
generally one of the transferred business assets in these types of
transactions. We may also transfer such
information in the course of corporate divestitures, mergers, or any
dissolution.
Notice of New Services
and Changes: Occasionally,
we also may use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our Web site, new services, and special offers we think you will
find valuable. You have the opportunity
to notify us of your desire not to receive these offers by sending us an
email request (this needs to be a link to email us).
How Do We Secure
Information Transmissions?: Email
is not recognized as a secure medium of communication. For this reason, we request that you do not
send private information to us by email. Some of the information you may enter on our
Web site may be transmitted securely via Secure Sockets Layer SSL, 128 bit
encryption services, which are enabled by VeriSign, Inc. Pages utilizing this technology will have URLs
that start with HTTPS, instead of HTTP. Please
contact us (this needs to be a link to email us) if you have any
questions or concerns.
How Can You Access and
Correct Your Information?: You can
update your registration information online on our subscription management
(link????) page. You may also request
access to all your personally identifiable information that we collect online
and maintain in our database by emailing us (this needs to be a link to
email us).
Certain Disclosures: We may disclosure your personal information if required to do so by law
or subpoena, or if we believe that such action is necessary to (a) conform to
the law or comply with legal process served on us or Affiliated Parties; (b)
protect and defend our rights and property, the Site, the users of the Site,
and/or our Affiliated Parties; or (c) act under circumstances to protect the
safety of users of the Site, us, or third parties.
What About Other Web
Sites Linked to Our Web Site?: We are
not responsible for the practices employed by Web sites linked to or from our
Web site, nor for the information or content contained therein. Often, links to other Web sites are provided
solely as pointers to information on topics that may be useful to the users of
our Web site. Please remember that when
you use a link to go from our Web site to another Web site, our Privacy Policy
is no longer in effect. Your browsing
and interaction on any other Web site, including Web sites which have a link on
our Web site, is subject to that Web site's own rules and policies. Please read over those rules and policies
before proceeding.
Your Consent: By using our Web site, you consent to our collection and use of your
personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If we change our privacy policies and
procedures, we will post those changes on our Web site to keep you aware of
what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may
disclose it.
