Privacy Policy

 

We recognize that you may be concerned about our use and disclosure of your personal information. Your privacy is very important to us, and the following will inform you of the information that we, McShane & Bowie, may collect from you, and how it is used. By using our website, msblaw.com, you are accepting the practices described in this policy.

Information Collection

We may collect non-personal information, such as a domain name and IP Address. The domain name and IP address reveals nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We may also collect information about the type of Internet browser you are using, the operating system, how you found our Website and Web pages on our siteyou have accessed.

Additionally, if you communicate with us through our Website, any information so communicated will be collected and provided to us.

Information Use

We use the collected information primarily for our own internal purposes, such as providing, maintaining, evaluating, and improving our Website services, fulfilling requests for information, and providing customer support.

Security

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us through our Website, both during transmission and once we receive it.

If we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and securely transmitted to us. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon at the bottom of your web browser, or looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (such as billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

Cookies

We use “cookies” on our Website. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a Website visitor’s hard drive to help us improve access to our Website and identify repeat visitors to it. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our Website’s visitors to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our Website.

Sharing

We will not sell or otherwise provide the information we collect to outside third-parties for the purpose of direct or indirect mass email marketing.

We will disclose personal information and/or an IP address, when required by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Cooperate with the investigations of purported unlawful activities and conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on our company
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of our Website and related properties
  • Identify persons who may be violating the law, the rights of third parties, or otherwise misusing our Website or its related properties

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for instance, through e-mail, discussion boards, or elsewhere – that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your personal information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.

Links

This Website may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.

Please review this page frequently to remain up-to-date with the information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances we disclose it. You must review the new Privacy Policy carefully to make sure you understand our practices and procedures.
