E-mail List Information Collection

For each visitor that signs up for our e-mail list, or who submits a review, we collect only the information that is requested on the list signup form. Our Web servers may collect the domain name or IP address of visitors to our Web page(s). Unless otherwise stated on our Web site, we collect the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail and information volunteered by you such as but not limited to list signup information, review submission, survey information, and/or site registrations. We also may collect clickstream information. In our e-mail messages to you which are distributed through this list, we may have information from third party providers for products and services which may be advertised or promoted within messages we send to you from this e-mail list--the privacy policies of those third-party provider sites govern the method by which they collect and use such information.

Use of Web Site Information Collected

The information we collect may be used to create an aggregate demographic profile of our user base so that we can improve content and services and provide aggregate information to potential advertisers (no individual information is provided to any third-party without your consent), to customize the content and/or layout of our e-mail messages or pages for each individual visitor, to notify you about updates to our Web site and services, to send you our opt-in e-mail newsletter(s) and special offers, to provide you with the products and/or services for which you signed-up or registered, which may include sending service disruption notices or other service- or product-related information via e-mail, and is not shared with other organizations for commercial purposes without your consent. We may share collected information with another company in the event that we merge with or are acquired by another company. Upon request, we will provide you with the information (e.g., e-mail address, name, etc.) that we maintain about you.

E-mail and Direct Response Contact

If you do not want to receive email newsletter(s) or special offers from us in the future, please follow the "unsubscribe" instructions contained in the special offers or newsletter(s) we send you.

Cookies

We, and some of our partners who provide some of the services and products on our site, may use cookies to record session information, such as items that you add to your shopping cart, record user-specific information on what pages users access or visit, record past activity at a site in order to provide better service when you return to our site, and customize Web page or e-mail message content based on your browser type or other information.

We also use third party advertisements on businesslawyersincanada.com to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing New York real estate ads to someone in New York, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies
We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers. You can opt-out of this ad serving on all sites using this advertising by visiting http://www.doubleclick.com/privacy/dart_adserving.aspx

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off our cookies or third-party cookies in your browser settings, or by managing preferences in programs such as Norton Internet Security. However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.

Security

We strive to maintain appropriate security measures in our respective physical facilities to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that we have collected from you for being part of our e-mail list. Although we take reasonable measures to secure our data, we cannot guarantee that the measures taken are or will remain adequate. Since we may include links from messages sent to the e-mail list to other companies' Web sites, please refer to the privacy policies of those sites for information on how they handle security for information they collect.

Changes to Privacy Policy

From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in this Privacy Policy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future, we will post the policy changes to this Privacy Policy page to notify you of these changes and provide you with the ability to opt out of our list. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at this Privacy Policy page periodically.
