Nissenbaum Law Group, LLC ("Nissenbaum") is committed to protecting the privacy of its users ("Users"). This document ("Privacy Policy") outlines what information Nissenbaum collects from its Users through gdnlaw.com ("SITE") and how that information is used. Nissenbaum will only keep Users' information which they submit through this SITE for internal use.

Revisions to this Policy

Nissenbaum reserves the right to revise, change, amend, alter or modify ("Update") this Privacy Policy and its other policies and agreements at any time and in any manner. This Privacy Policy may be accessed by the "Privacy Policy" link at the bottom of each page within the SITE. The User is responsible for periodically checking for any Updates of this Privacy Policy by re-visiting this SITE and using the "refresh" button on the User's browser. Any Updates supersede any prior versions immediately upon posting on this SITE.

Information Collected

The information which Nissenbaum collects through the SITE may include personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") which refers to information that helps it identify Users of its website. The Personal Information includes data such as Users' name, street address, phone number or email address. The SITE allows Users to submit Personal Information in order to contact or communicate with Nissenbaum. If User contacts Nissenbaum through this SITE, please note that Personal Information may be maintained by the SITE. Users are responsible for keeping all Personal Information current and may change any previously entered information through the SITE in the manner set forth below.

SITE may also collect data that cannot be traced back to a specific individual ("Anonymous Information"). For example, Nissenbaum may be able to keep count of how many Users have viewed the SITE and specific content therein, or key words utilized to find the SITE, but this information does not necessarily include information regarding Users' names, street address, phone numbers or email addresses. Users who view the SITE but do not enter their Personal Information are generally anonymous Users. Only Anonymous Information and no Personal Information will be intentionally collected by Nissenbaum from anonymous Users. The SITE may use browser cookies to collect anonymous information. The SITE may also incorporate web beacons or similar tracking technologies to allow Nissenbaum to track how the SITE is used. Such technologies are used to collect anonymous information, e.g. the name of the User's internet service provided, the IP address of the User's computer, User's browser software and operating system, the identity of any linked-form or linked-to website and other similar information. Nissenbaum may combine a User's anonymous information with similar information collected from other users to help improve the SITE and services.

The SITE is hosted by Findlaw.com. Please contact Findlaw.com for information about their policy regarding the collection and retention of User information. Submitting information via the Internet may not be secure and/or confidential. Users should refrain from sending attorney-client privileged information through the SITE without prior approval from Nissenbaum to do so and should thereafter take into account that Nissenbaum cannot guarantee that such information will be secure, due to its means of transmission.

Managing and Deleting Users' Personal Information

If Users would like to modify or delete any personal information previously entered on the SITE, they can update their information by sending an email with their current and updated information to gdn@gdnlaw.com.

Third Party Advertisers and Links to Third Party Websites.

SITE may include advertisements from third-party companies which may include links to third party websites.

Nissenbaum does not know of the policies of these independent third-party advertisers and is not responsible for the information collected or how the information is used by any third-party advertisers. Nissenbaum also cannot confirm or in any way guarantee the accuracy of the information provided by those third party advertisers on their websites. Nissenbaum strongly recommends that User reads and reviews the privacy policies of any other third-party websites that it may view.

Information Sharing

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, Nissenbaum will not intentionally distribute, rent or sell Users' information to third parties without their permission.
