At The Council Law Firm, LLC, we are committed to respecting your privacy choices and being transparent about the information we collect from you and how we utilize that information. We do not share, sell, license, trade, or read your personal information to others except in the ways explained in this privacy policy.
The purpose of this privacy policy is to help you understand:
Why we collect personally identifiable information;
What personally identifiable information we collect;
How we use that information, including how the information is stored and whether we share it with third parties; and your choices regarding our collection, use, and distribution of your information.
Your consent to this privacy policy
By using this website, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
What information does The Council Law Firm, LLC collect?
We collect two types of information: personally identifiable information and anonymous information. Generally, you can visit this website without disclosing who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
Personally identifiable information is information that specifically identifies a particular user, such as name, email address, or phone number.
Anonymous information is data that cannot be linked to the identity of a specific individual. For example, a site may record the number of visits to a particular page within a given timeframe but that does not necessarily provide the names or other identifying information of each visitor.
When you subscribe to our newsletter or place an order for our services, we collect certain information to process your request for information and/or services.
What are cookies and how are they used?
Cookies are small data files, typically consisting of a string of text, that assign you a unique identifier. This information enables our website to receive data from your computer to enhance and personalize your user experience.
For instance, if you log into our site, we may personalize your experience by recognizing your name when you return to the site, saving your login credentials, or enabling a shopping cart. Our newsletters may also utilize cookies to measure the effectiveness of our marketing efforts (for example, tracking the clicks on the links in our emails and newsletters) or to determine the number of visits to a particular area or page on the website.
Most web browsers have a function that allows you to delete existing cookies on your device or you can set your browser option so that your device does not receive or accept cookies.
How does The Council Law Firm, LLC use the information we collect?
Non-personally identifiable information
We may use non-personally identifiable information, such as data about the most visited site pages or the length of time spent on certain site pages that are not linked to a specific user, to maintain, enhance, and protect our site and our product and service offerings.
Personally identifiable information
When you sign up for our newsletter, we use the name and email address you provided to subscribe you to our newsletter and/or our email list. We will send you periodic newsletters and/or emails. We store the name and email address you have provided in an SSL encrypted database.
When you purchase a digital product or our services, we use the personal information you provide to process the transaction, deliver your digital product and/or service, and provide customer service as necessary. We store this information in an SSL encrypted database.
Is my personally identifiable information secure? The security of your personally identifiable information is extremely important to The Council Law Firm, LLC.
However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic or physical server storage is 100% secure. While we value the privacy and security of your personal information, we cannot guarantee against or prevent potential security breaches, nor can we assure you that the personally identifiable information you provide will never be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this privacy policy.
If you have any reason to believe that the security of your information has been compromised, please email us immediately at Ben@thecouncillawfirm.com.
Does The Council Law Firm, LLC share my personal information with third parties?
Except in situations described in the next paragraph, we will not sell or give any personally identifiable information to any third party.
However, we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authority to provide personally identifiable information to the appropriate governmental authorities. If requested by law enforcement or judicial authorities, we will provide this information upon receipt of the appropriate documentation. We may also release information to law enforcement agencies or other third parties if we feel it is necessary to protect the safety and welfare of our personnel or to enforce our Terms of Use.
What about my GDPR rights?
According to the GDPR, a “data subject” is defined as an identifiable natural person. A natural person is someone who can be recognized, directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier like: a name, ID number, location data, or online identifier. Alternatively, they may be identified by one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. A data subject may be of any age or nationality.
As a data subject within the European Union, you are entitled to certain rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Those rights include:
You have the right to be informed regarding your personally identifiable information (PII) retained by the Company. As such, you may request access to your data that the Company stores and have the right to correct or erase your personal data.
We will retain any personally identifiable information you choose to provide to us unless: (a) you request us to delete the information, (b) we stop using our current data providers, or (c) at the Company’s discretion, we decide to remove the data.
You have the right to seek restrictions on the processing of your data.
You have the right to object to the processing of your data and the right to data portability.
You have the right to withdraw consent given to the Company regarding the processing of your personal data, as well as the right to revoke that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent that occurred prior to your withdrawal of consent.
You have the right not to be subjected to automated decision-making via pre-selected boxes, additions to our email marketing lists, and similar methods.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority that has jurisdiction over issues related to the General Data Protection Regulation.
We require only the information reasonably needed to enter into a contract with you. We will not require you to provide consent for any unnecessary processing as a condition for entering into a contract with us by way of downloading a free resource or any other traditional list-building methods.
