What personal information we collect and how we use it

We collect information about our users in several ways: directly from the user, from web server logs, and cookies.

User-supplied information

During either a contact form or email opt-in submission, the types of personal information you provide to us may include, but are not limited to, name, email, phone, state, zip, and description of your legal issue.

Please do not submit any confidential, proprietary or sensitive personally identifiable information (e.g. Social Security Number; date of birth; driver’s license number; or credit card, bank account or other financial information) (collectively, “Sensitive Information”). If you submit any Sensitive Information, you do so at your own risk and we will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
