Law Offices of Karen E. Davidson, LLC (or “KDLAW”, “us”, “we” or “our”) owns and operates the kdavidsonlaw.com site (“Site”). KDLAW is committed to protecting your privacy when you visit and interact with the Site. As such, KDLAW’s privacy practices are explained in this Privacy Policy (“Policy”). KDLAW also understands your concerns as a client for privacy and the need to ensure the privacy of all your information. Your privacy is important to us and maintaining your trust and confidence is a high priority. The purpose of this notice is to explain our Policy regarding personal information collected through the Site and how we keep that information secure. This Policy contains details about how KDLAW collects and uses information from you when you use the Site. This Policy covers only the Site. Other KDLAW sites and other online locations may have their own privacy policies, and you should consult those accordingly.

This Policy is effective as of January 1, 2018.

Any changes to this Policy will be posted below for a period of thirty (30) days and will be effective when posted.  The changes will also be immediately incorporated into this Policy. Your continued use of the Site after any changes are made to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If any of the changes are unacceptable to you, you should cease using the Site. If any changes to this Policy affect how KDLAW treats or handles personally identifiable information already provided by you to KDLAW, we will notify you by email (if KDLAW has a valid email address to use) and give you thirty (30) days to opt in to the changes as they pertain to your information.

–     Deliver services through the Site;

–     Send you KDLAW newsletters and other client alerts or updates;

–     Improve the content and general administration of the Site; and/or

By providing PII and other information referenced above to KDLAW, you agree that KDLAW may use the PII and other information in accordance with the terms of this Policy. 

Sharing of PII and Other Information

Except as noted herein, KDLAW does not sell or share your PII with any person or entity outside of KDLAW. KDLAW does not share collected PII with any person or entity for direct marketing purposes. KDLAW may share collected PII with its email vendor for such vendor to send out emails on KDLAW’s behalf. Our email vendor may collect some of this PII directly through the Site and will comply with KDLAW’s “Do Not Track” policy referenced below. KDLAW will disclose your PII if it reasonably believes it is required to do so by law or in cooperation with a governmental or law enforcement investigation. KDLAW may also share PII or other information to avoid imminent physical harm to any person or harm to any KDLAW property.

KDLAW may share your PII with a third party if KDLAW’s ownership status changes, such as it being acquired. WE DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY PII ABOUT OUR CLIENTS OR FORMER CLIENTS TO ANYONE, EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY LAW AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE ETHICAL RULES. We do not disclose any PII about current or former clients obtained during the course of representation of those clients, except as expressly or impliedly authorized by those clients to enable us to effectuate the purpose of our representation or as required or permitted by law or applicable provisions of codes of professional responsibility or ethical rules governing our conduct as lawyers. Other than what is referenced above, the PII collected from you is not shared with nor sold to any person or entity outside of KDLAW.

Review of Collected PII/Your Choices

If you would like to review, edit or delete any of the PII KDLAW collected from you, or wish KDLAW to cease using your PII in the manners specified in this Policy, please contact KDLAW at [email protected]. Please note that KDLAW will do its best to accommodate your request, but KDLAW cannot guarantee it can remove all PII from the specified uses. Therefore, please be as specific as possible in your request. If the request relates to information that KDLAW needs to make the Site function properly for you, you may not be able to use the Site properly moving forward.

Please note that KDLAW reserves the right to maintain proper business records as required by law, or for other legitimate business purposes to the extent permitted by law, even if such records contain your PII. If you would like to opt out of receiving further promotional emails from KDLAW, please send KDLAW a detailed email to [email protected].

KDLAW does not knowingly collect any information from minors, nor is the Site directed at or intended for minors. If a minor uploads/posts information to the Site that is publicly available, and the minor subsequently wants that same information deleted, the minor has a right to request that said information be removed from public viewing. Please email us at [email protected] to make the request. Please note that any removal of content by KDLAW does not ensure or guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of the content in all places. The content may have been shared or reposted by other parties, or federal or state law may require maintenance of the content or information.

Response to “Do Not Track” Requests/Signals

KDLAW does not respond to nor recognizes “do not track” or similar requests.

Data Security and Retention

We retain records relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able to assist you with your professional needs and to comply with professional guidelines or requirements of law. In order to guard your PII, we maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with our professional standards. The Site uses, implements and maintains industry standard technological security measures that are reasonably designed to help protect PII from unauthorized loss, modification, use access or disclosure both in storage/rest and in transmission. The Site uses SSL encryption to help prevent unauthorized access to PII transmitted to the Site.

While KDLAW takes the issue of protecting your PII seriously, you should exercise discretion in what information you disclose and/or transmit to the Site. KDLAW cannot guarantee that information sent over the Internet is fully secure, and therefore the transmitted information may be intercepted by others before it reaches KDLAW. If you are concerned about sending information to KDLAW over the Internet, please send the information by mail or call us to make other arrangements. KDLAW is not responsible for the security of information sent over the Internet. KDLAW retains collected information for a reasonable amount of time to fulfill the stated purpose for why the information was collected. KDLAW will also retain collected information connected to business records for periods of time required by law. If KDLAW determines that collected information is no longer needed, it will delete such information. Our collection times will be consistent with applicable law.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for individuals 18 years of age and older located in the United States. The Site is not directed at, marketed to, nor intended for, children under 13 years of age. KDLAW does not knowingly collect any information, including PII, from children under 13 years of age. If KDLAW learns that any information was provided through the Site by a person younger than 13 years of age, KDLAW will delete the information immediately. KDLAW will not use any minor’s PII to market or advertise certain products or services deemed harmful to children nor will KDLAW disclose any minor’s PII if it has actual knowledge that the minor’s PII will be used for marketing or advertising harmful products or services.
