Usage Information may include, in part, browser type, operating system, the page served, the time, how many users visited the Site, and the website you visited immediately before the Site. This statistical data provides us with information about the use of the Site, such as how many visitors visit a specific page on the Site, how long they stay on that page, and which hyperlinks, if any, they “click” on. Usage Information helps us to keep the Site fresh and interesting to our visitors and to tailor content to a visitor’s interests. Usage Information is generally non-identifying, but if we associate it with you as a specific and identifiable person, we treat it as Personal Information.
- Device Identifiers – In the course of collecting Usage Information we may also collect your IP address, MAC Address or other unique identifier (each a “Device Identifier”) for the computer, mobile device, Wi-Fi card, or other technology (collectively, “Device”) you use to access the Site. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a web site or its servers. Our computers may identify your Device by its Device Identifier. When you visit the Sites, we may view your Device Identifier. We use this information to identify repeat visitors to our Site. We also may use this information to send you targeted advertisements in accordance with applicable laws and to enhance the Site.

Do Not Track: How to Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising
You can set most web browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies, though either of those actions may affect the use of our Site. If you prefer not to receive targeted advertising, you can opt out of some network advertising programs that use your information. To do so please visit the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) Opt-Out Page: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. Please note that even if you choose to remove your information (via opting out), you will still see advertisements while you are browsing online. However the advertisements you see may be less relevant to you and your interests. Additionally, many network advertising programs allow you to view and manage the interest categories they have compiled from your online browsing activities. These interest categories help determine the types of targeted advertisements you may receive. The DAA Opt-Out Page provides a tool that identifies its member companies that have cookies on your browser and provides links to those companies’ pages where you can opt-out of receiving targeted advertisements from companies.

Other Websites Linked To Or From the Site
The Site may contain links to other websites. Any Personal Information you provide on linked pages or sites is provided directly to that third party and is subject to that third party’s privacy policy. This Policy does not apply to such linked sites, and we are not responsible for the content or privacy and security practices and policies of these websites or any other sites that are linked to or from the Site.

What Steps Do We Take To Protect Your Information?
We take measures designed to protect your Personal Information in an effort to prevent loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We provide commercially reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect Personal Information we process and maintain. Please be aware, however, that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
California Privacy Rights
We do not release your personal information to third parties’ for direct marketing purposes. However, California’s Shine the Light law gives Customers who are California residents the right to ask Strategy Law, LLP, once a year, (1) what Personal Information Strategy Law, LLP disclosed to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year; and (2) the identities of the companies with which we shared the information. The terms “Customers” and “Personal Information” have the meaning set forth in California Civil Code Section 1798.83.
Only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill any request. To designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You will still need to verify your identity directly with us.
Rights of access, rectification, erasure, and restriction
Exercising your rights: You may ask us as to whether we are processing information about you, request access to your information, and ask that we correct, amend, or delete your information where it is inaccurate by contacting us as indicated below in “Contact us.”
Procedure: Although we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your information, there may be circumstances where we are unable to provide access, including but not limited to: where the information contains legal privilege or would compromise others’ privacy or other legitimate rights, where the burden or expense of providing access would be disproportionate to the risks to the your privacy in the case in question, or where it is commercially proprietary. If we determine that access should be restricted in any particular instance, we will provide you with an explanation of why that determination has been made and a contact point for any further inquiries. To protect your privacy, we will take commercially reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access to or making any changes to your information.
Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to or intended for use by children under the age of 13, and Strategy Law, LLP does not knowingly collect, use or sell any Personal Information from such children. The term “personal information” has the same meaning as set out in the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected Personal Information from a child under the age of 13, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such Personal Information from our database.
Miscellaneous
This Policy and the privacy practices of Strategy Law, LLP will be subject exclusively to the laws of the State of California in the United States, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
