Our Site may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, services, social networks, or applications, such as LawHelp.org, ABA Free Legal Answers, and USA.gov. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow the third party to collect or share data about you.

5. Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers behind firewalls. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure.

Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site.

6. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider:

  • The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information.
  • The potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure.
  • The purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
  • The applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements.

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us.

  • Correction: You may request that we correct any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you.
  • Deletion / “Right to be Forgotten”: You may request that we delete the personal information we hold about you. We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • Opt-Out of Marketing Communications: You can opt-out of receiving our promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions in those emails. If you opt-out, we may still send you non-promotional emails, such as those about your account or our ongoing business relations.

7.2 Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [Your Email Address]. We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days. If your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests, it may take us a little longer. We will notify you if we need more time and keep you updated on our progress. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.

7.3 California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, California law may provide you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section 1798.83) permits users of our Site that are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
