Thank you for visiting our web site. This site collects information voluntarily provided by you through the emails you send or submit. Because this site does not encrypt incoming email, you should NOT send us information that you consider highly sensitive through email. Any information you submit through this site or by email will contain personally identifiable information. Because it travels through unencrypted email, we cannot guarantee the security of information you send through our feedback form. All information submitted by visitors is voluntary.

People who are actively attempting to intercept web transmissions may be able to read information you send to us. In addition, the information submitted is processed through our Webmaster. We have a number of security measures to protect the confidentiality of your personal information once it reaches our firm's internal servers. We cannot vouch for or warrant in any way the safety of transmission or receipt until this form actually reaches our law firm's internal servers. We have a firewall to prevent unauthorized access to our internal law firm system once your form reaches our law firm's internal servers. Once the information is sent to our law firm's servers, it is kept on a separate database not available to users on the Internet and protected to the fullest extent reasonably possible.

ACTIVE SNOOPERS MAY BE ABLE TO READ E-MAIL THAT WE SEND YOU OR THAT YOU SEND US. IF YOU ASK US A QUESTION AND SUPPLY YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS, YOU ARE AUTHORIZING US TO RESPOND TO YOU WITH AN UNENCRYPTED E-MAIL MESSAGE THAT MAY CONTAIN PRIVATE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU OR YOUR QUESTION. WE CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY OF THOSE E-MAIL MESSAGES.

We may store non-personally identifiable information we collect indefinitely to help us better understand and meet the needs of our visitors. We may share non-personally identifiable information with others, including the public, in aggregated form (for instance, in a list of our most popular search engine queries), in partial or edited form (such as in a report summarizing responses to a questionnaire), or verbatim (for example, in a complete listing of survey responses).

Generally, we will not share any personally identifiable information you give us with any other government agency, private organization, or the public, except with your consent or as required by law. By pressing the "submit" button, each visitor constitutes consent to use the information for purposes stated in this policy.

By sending us an electronic mail message, you may be sending us personally-identifying information. In these cases, we may retain the information as long as necessary to respond to your request or otherwise resolve the subject matter of your e-mail. Please be aware that email is not necessarily secure from interception or misdirection. For your own protection you may wish to communicate sensitive information using a method other than email.

We want to be very clear, regardless of the information being transmitted, we will protect all such information consistent with applicable law.

For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, this system employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage to the information on our web site. Unauthorized attempts to upload information or change information on this service are strictly prohibited and may be punishable under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the National Information Infrastructure Protection Act.

We may share information received from our web site with certain agencies. For example, if a breach of our IT security protections were to occur, the information collected by our servers and staff could be shared with appropriate law enforcement officials.

We use the term "personally identifiable information" to mean any information that could reasonably be used to identify you, including your name, address, email address, or any combination of information that could be used to identify you. This site collects information voluntarily provided by you through the emails you send or submit. Any information you submit through this site or by email will contain personally identifiable information. Because it travels through unencrypted email, we cannot guarantee the security of information you send through our feedback form. Cookies are files that a web site can place on your computer. A cookie file contains unique information that a web site can use to track such things as your password, lists of web pages you have visited, and the date when you last looked at a specific web page, or to identify your session at a particular web site. A cookie file allows the web site to recognize you as you click through pages on the site and when you later revisit the site. A web site can use cookies to "remember" your preferences, and to record your browsing behavior on the web. Although you can prevent web sites from placing cookies on your computer by using your browser's preference menu, disabling cookies may affect your ability to view or interact with some web sites. "Internet Protocol Address" or "IP Address" is a series of numbers that identifies each computer and machine connected to the Internet. An IP address enables a server on a computer network to send you the file that you have requested on the Internet. The IP address disclosed to us may identify the computer from which you are accessing the Internet, or a server owned by your Internet Service Provider. Because it is machine-specific, rather than person-specific, an IP address is not, in and of itself, personally identifiable information.

This site does not make use of cookies to collect or store information. However, to enhance your experience a cookie may be placed on your computer to store your user preferences only. In addition, this site does collect and store indefinitely your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, which does not identify you as an individual, as well as information about the date and time of your visit, whether a file you have requested exists. We may use your IP address to assess the frequency of visits to this site and the popularity of its various pages and functions. We will not attempt to match any personally identifiable information that you provide to us with your IP address, unless there are reasonable grounds to believe that doing so would provide information that is relevant and material to a criminal investigation.

We do not sell any personally identifiable information collected through this web site. However, once you voluntarily submit personally identifiable information to us through an email, its dissemination is governed by State and Federal laws and regulations. For this reason, part or all of the information you send us may be provided pursuant to a legally permissible request. We use the information you provide through our online forms to respond to your requests for information. We will not send you unsolicited information, commercial offers, or advertisements. In addition, the information that you voluntarily submit will be disclosed only to employees with a "need to know" for purposes of fulfilling their job responsibilities. They will only use the information to answer your questions, respond to any requests for assistance, and fulfill our legal obligations.

As a convenience, this site may contain links to other web sites which may contain related information of interest. Freitas, McCarthy, MacMahon & Keating, LLP is not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of those web sites.
