Web site owner privacy policy
Privacy Statement
The web site owner respects the privacy and security of its users. The information you provide to the web site owner is used selectively by us to qualify solicitors or barristers for your case, and put you in contact with the suitable solicitor(s) or barristers. Some of the information will be passed on to the solicitors or barristers that we deem to be suitable so that they can contact you to progress your case. In order to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we have prepared this statement disclosing the privacy practices for the the website owner site. This statement describes what personally identifiable information we collect from you, how and when information is used, how we protect your information, and who has access to your information.
i) What information is collected?
The website owner asks you to provide various types of personally identifiable information to enhance the quality of the service we can provide to you. As part of the process of using the site, the web site owner asks for information such as your name, e-mail address, and summary case details. The more accurate the information you provide, the better we are able to customise your experience and match you to a solicitor or barrister who can assist you with your legal matter.
Following the use of our service, we may ask you for other information, such as completion of a customer satisfaction survey. Whenever you provide personally identifiable information to us, we will comply with our privacy policy.
As with the vast majority of Web servers, our one automatically creates log files for each visitor who accesses our sites. These "access logs" allow us to make our site more useful to our visitors. The access logs do not record a visitor's name, address, phone number, or any other personally identifying information. Rather, these log files may contain some or all of the following information:
The date of the visit
The time and length of the visit
The path taken through the Web site
The browser being used
A list of files downloaded or viewed
The Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) of the machine accessing our Web site*
Any errors encountered
Web site owner uses this information to aid the technical administration of the sites and to better understand how the site is functioning for our users.
ii) How and when information is used?
Our primary goal in collecting personally identifiable information is to provide you, the user, with a high quality service, i.e. quickly contacting you to solicitors or barristers suitable for your case (and to you). This is contacted via the form(s) completed on the Web site owner website.
In addition, our Web Server Logs collect non-personally identifiable information, such as which pages each user visits and the domain name of visitors. This information is used, for example, to help us identify which areas of our site are of interest to our visitors. Web site owner also collects the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of its visitors for the purposes of system administration.
iii) Who has access to the information?
Except as described below, Web site owner will not disclose any individually identifiable information about its users to any third party without first receiving that user's permission. Web site owner may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to protect the rights or property of Web site owner.
When you are on the Web site owner site and asked for personal information, you share that information with Web site owner who in turn shares that information with solicitors who Web site owner is contacting on your behalf to qualify the solicitors' suitability for your case.
You should understand that these solicitors might have separate privacy and data collection practices. Web site owner has no control over and accepts no liability for these independent practices. In order to understand the individual privacy policies that each solicitor or barrister follows, you should ask him or her for a copy of the privacy policy.
iv) How we protect your information?
The privacy and protection of your personal information is important to us. In addition, any user statistics that we may provide to prospective partners regarding your Web site owner usage are provided in the aggregate only and do not include any individually identifiable information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As such, despite our efforts to protect your personal information, Web site owner cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, or to or from our online products or services. You transmit all such information at your own risk. However, once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
So as to enhance the security of your data, we have in place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online. However, as effective as these measures are, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet.
We reserve the right to change this policy. Any changes to this policy will be posted to this page as soon as reasonably possible, so please check this page periodically.
