2. Information We Collect And How We Use It

Personal Information You Voluntarily Provide Us

You do not have to provide us with any personal information to access the Website. However, you will be asked to provide certain personal information, such as your name and email address, if you choose to use our “Contact Us” form, sign up for our newsletter, or download certain content from our Website. In addition, as part of those interactions, you may have the opportunity to provide additional personal information at your discretion.

Our Website also includes a chatbot. If you choose to use the chatbot, we will receive any information you submit through the chatbot, including any personal information you provide.

Please do not under any circumstances provide SPZ Legal with any sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security Number.

Information We Automatically Collect

Whenever you interact with the Website, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, “cookie” information, the amount of time spent on the Website, and the page or feature you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in the Website are visited and by how many people. You will have the option to reject our use of cookies when you first visit our Website. In addition, you may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies. We use the data we automatically collect from you to improve the Website – for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Website, and we can use that knowledge to make the Website interesting to as many users as possible.

Do Not Track Signals

We do not track you or collect your information across third party websites or online services. Thus, we do not receive Do-Not-Track signals, or other similar signals. To the extent that we do receive any such signals, we will not comply with them as it is not an aspect of the functionality of our Website.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except to the extent described below.

Our Personnel

To be able to effectively provide you with the Website, and to improve the functionality of the Website, we may disclose your personal information to our employees, contractors, and agents to the extent that such persons or entities have a need-to-know such information in furtherance of the Website.

Our Vendors

We work with third party service providers to provide us with services like email marketing and our chatbot. These third parties may have access to or process your personal information as part of providing those services to us. For example, our chatbot functionality is managed by Hubspot, so Hubspot will have access to the information you submit through the chatbot. However, we limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions.

Sale of Company or Assets

In the event that we sell all or substantially all of our company or its assets, including the personal information collected through our Website, we may transfer your information, upon reasonable notice to you, to the acquiring entity.

Other Third Parties

In addition to our practices described above, we may share your information if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law (see the section below on “Government Requests”), (2) protect and defend the rights or property of SPZ Legal, or (3) prevent an emergency involving danger of death or serious physical or mental injury to any person.

4. Storing Your Information

Storage and Retention of Your Information.

To continue to provide you with our services and keep you updated of the content posted to the Website, we may store your personal information until you inform us at the email below that you want us to delete your information. However, if required by applicable law, we may retain your personal information for such period as may be required by such law. To continue to provide an effective service, we may store non-personal information perpetually and may anonymize your personal information and store that anonymized information perpetually.

If you would like to review your information that we have access to, or request deletion of any information, you may contact us via email at the email listed below.

Security

We use commercially reasonable physical, managerial, and technical safeguards to preserve the integrity and security of your personal information. In addition, we enter into contracts with all of our third party service providers that require reasonable precautions be taken against unauthorized uses of your personal information. We cannot, however, ensure or warrant that these precautions will always be successful or that your personal information on the Website may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our physical, technical, or managerial safeguards.

5. Government Requests

From time to time, we may receive requests from government agencies to obtain information about our users. In handling such government requests, we greatly value the privacy of your information. While we may be required to turn over user information at times, we will strive to require a search warrant or subpoena, to the extent that we can reasonably demand such warrant or subpoena, before we turn over information about you and, if permitted by applicable law, we will notify users when we receive government requests about their data.

6. Changes To This Policy

SPZ Legal reserves the right to change this Policy from time to time, with reasonable notice to you. Any changes to this Privacy Policy will become effective on the “Effective Date” indicated above.
