Safeguarding your privacy and the security of your personal information is important to us. Please take a few minutes to read the following policy so that you understand how we treat your personal information. As we continuously improve and expand our services, this policy might change, so please check it periodically. If you have questions about our privacy policy, please email us.

Purpose

The Ericksen Law Firm has adopted this Privacy Policy in order to inform you of its policies with respect to information collected from this website. Your use of this website constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and your consent to the practices it describes. This is a website-only privacy policy, and does not apply to the handling of your personal data collected by the Ericksen Law Firm or its affiliates/owner-operators by means other than this web site.

Personally Identifiable Information

Personally Identifiable Information is any information that concerns you individually and would permit someone to contact you, for example, your name, address, telephone/fax number, email address or any information you submit to the Ericksen Law Firm that identifies you individually.

This website will not collect any personally identifiable information about you unless you provide it.

Therefore, if you do not want us to obtain any personally identifiable information about you, please do not submit it to us.

You can visit and browse the Ericksen Law Firm website without revealing personally identifiable information about yourself. You may also choose to disclose personally identifiable information about yourself, which may be maintained as described below. This website may collect personally identifiable information about you by methods such as the following:

Registration Forms – If you are offered the opportunity to enter a promotion, to become a registered user of the Ericksen Law Firm, or to opt-in to receive Ericksen Law Firm information through another site, you must apply by filling out the registration form on the site. This form requires certain personally identifiable information that may include, without limitation, your name, email address, postal address, telephone number, areas of interest, product usage, and/or a unique individual password.
Transactions and Activity – If you become a registered user or if you conduct transactions through this website, we will collect information about the transactions you engage in while on the website and your other activity on the site. This information may include, without limitation, areas of the website that you visit, transaction type, content that you view, download or submit, transaction amount, payment, and billing information as well as the nature, quantity and price of the goods or services you exchange and the individuals or entities with whom you communicate or transact business.
Email and other voluntary communications – You may also choose to communicate with us through email, via our website, by telephone, in writing, or through other means. We collect the information in these communications, and such information may be personally identifiable.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information

When you visit the Ericksen Law Firm website, like when you visit most other websites, certain anonymous information about your visit is automatically logged, which may include information about the type of browser you use, the server name and IP address through which you access the internet (such as “aol.com” or “earthlink.net”), the date and time you access the site, the pages you access while at the Ericksen Law Firm website, and the internet address of the website, if any, from which you linked directly to the Ericksen Law Firm site. This information is not personally identifiable.

Information Use

The Ericksen Law Firm may use the personally identifiable information collected through its website primarily for such purposes as:

helping to establish and verify the identity of users;
opening, maintaining, administering and servicing users’ accounts or memberships;
processing, servicing or enforcing transactions and sending related communications;
providing services and support to users;
improving the website, including tailoring it to users’ preferences;
providing users with product or service updates, promotional notices and offers, and other information about the Ericksen Law Firm and its affiliates; If you do not wish to receive such offers in the future, please click the “unsubscribe” link on any promotional email you receive from us;

maintaining the security and integrity of its systems.

The Ericksen Law Firm uses the anonymous browsing information collected automatically by its servers primarily to help it administer and improve its website. The Ericksen Law Firm may also use aggregated anonymous information to provide information about its website to potential business partners and other unaffiliated entities. Again, this information is not personally identifiable.

Disclosure of Information

The Ericksen Law Firm does not provide personally identifiable information to unaffiliated third parties for their use in marketing directly to you. The Ericksen Law Firm may use unaffiliated companies to help it maintain and operate its website or for other reasons related to the operation of its business, and those companies may receive your personally identifiable information for that purpose. The Ericksen Law Firm may also disclose personally identifiable information about you in connection with legal requirements, such as in response to an authorized subpoena, governmental request or investigation, or as otherwise permitted by law.

Children’s Privacy

This website is directed toward and designed for use by persons aged 18 or older. The Ericksen Law Firm will not approve applications of, or establish or maintain registrations for any child whom the Ericksen Law Firm knows to be under the age of 18. The Ericksen Law Firm does not solicit or knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 18. If the Ericksen Law Firm nevertheless discovers that it has received personally identifiable information from an individual who indicates that he or she is, or whom the Ericksen Law Firm otherwise has reason to believe is, under the age of 18, the Ericksen Law Firm will delete such information from its systems. Additionally, a child’s parent or legal guardian may request that the child’s information be corrected or deleted from our files by requesting this via our Contact Us page.
