Legal Information
Our Privacy Policy
This
Privacy Policy discloses the general privacy practices for
www.coop-litigation.com. Coop Litigation News Publishing, Inc. ("we", "our" or "us") is committed to respecting the privacy rights of
visitors to any of our Web sites. While visiting our Web sites
(collectively, the "Site"), we may ask you to register and/or provide
information that personally identifies you ("Personal Information") for
purposes of interacting with the Site. To further the protection of
your Personal Information, we have adopted a set of information
management guidelines (outlined below).
These guidelines have been
developed with the recognition that Internet technologies are rapidly
evolving, and that underlying business models are still not
established. Accordingly, guidelines are subject to change. Any such
changes will be posted on this page. Please see the Effective Date
stated at the conclusion of this Policy.
Information Collected
What
are Cookies? There is a technology called "cookies" which can be used
to provide you with tailored information from a Web site. A cookie is
an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may
then be stored on your system. This element of data is a piece of
text, not a program. The Site can only access the information from a
cookie sent by the Site. We cannot access other cookies sent by other
Web sites or the information contained therein. Additionally, we
cannot learn your email address or any other information about you
through the use of a cookie. The only way we would learn such
information is if you specifically submit that information to us; for
example, through our registration system, by entering a contest.
Why
do we use cookies? We use cookies to track usage of the Site and
further customize your experience when you are visiting the Site. By
tracking usage, we can best determine what features of the Site best
serve the users. We never disclose information to others about
individual usage.
May I decline to accept a cookie? On those
pages of the Site that do not require registration, you may decline to
accept cookies sent by the Site by selecting an option on your browser
to reject cookies. However, some portions of the Site may require
registration in order to access those areas. In such cases, we ask
that you register and provide us with basic information on our
registration page. Cookies enable our server to know that you are a
registered user; therefore, our registration system requires that you
accept the cookies from the Sites. Other sites linked to the Site may
also send cookies; however we do not control such activities.
What
benefits do I receive from cookies? Overall, the use of cookies helps
to give you a customized experience at the Site. Through the use of
cookies, we'll know what's working and what's not. That information is
then used to keep our Site fresh and relevant to you, the user.
Cookies also allow you to avoid retyping your user ID each time you
access the Site, as well as personalize any online services we provide
to you.
IP Addresses: We log IP addresses, or the location of
your computer on the Internet, for systems administration and
troubleshooting purposes.
Use of Personal Information: We will
never share aggregated user information with any third party. We will use reasonable efforts to ensure that only our employees
and agents with a "need to know" will have access to your information.
We do not release personal information about you as an individual to
third parties. It should be noted, however, that this Privacy Policy
only addresses the use and dissemination of information that we collect
from you. To the extent that you disclose any information to other
parties, whether through, for example, chat rooms, message boards or
the like, or through other Web sites throughout the Internet, different
policies may apply. Since we do not control the privacy policies of
third parties, you are subject to the privacy customs and policies, if
any, of that third party, and we shall not be responsible for the use
or dissemination of your private information by that third party.
Therefore, we encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your
personal information to others.
Links to Other Materials
If
any link is offered connecting you to a third party Web site, it is as
an accommodation to the respective third party site owner and without
charge. Third party sites linked to and from the Site are not
