SCOPE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY

Attorney IO, LLC, Attorney IO News, LLC, and their affiliated companies and individuals (collectively, “AIO”) respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to personal data collected by AIO through the attorneyio.com website, and other websites, apps, and services. References to AIO websites, apps, and services in this Privacy Policy include those that we own, operate, or use. For some of these websites, apps, and services managed by AIO affiliates, the affiliate may act as a controller for data collected. Other websites, apps, and services (such as Facebook and Google Analytics) may and often do have their own privacy policies, which you are encouraged to review.

AIO often engages in First Amendment protected speech, including the tailoring of messages to particular audiences. This personalized speech relies on data-driven tools provided by e.g. Facebook and Google Analytics. These services allow us to better serve visitors with content that is more useful to them, and speak directly to the people for whom the content is especially useful. These tools include, for example, data driven analytics and targeted advertisement technologies. These services inform and facilitate our First Amendment protected speech.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NOTHING IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY CREATES NEW, ADDITIONAL, OR ENHANCED LEGAL RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WHETHER FOR VISITORS, USERS, OR THIRD PARTIES, OTHER THAN WHAT IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW. ANY PROVISION THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED TO CREATE SUCH NEW, ADDITIONAL, OR EXPANDED RIGHTS OR REMEDIES IS SUBORDINATE TO AND SUPERSEDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY IS TO DETAIL COMMON WAYS IN WHICH WE MAY USE YOUR DATA TO IMPROVE YOUR EXPERIENCE AND OUR ABILITY TO SPEAK TO YOU AND SERVE YOU MOST EFFECTIVELY.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you are encouraged to contact us at weblegal@attorneyio.com.

If AIO or any of its online activities are unlawful in your jurisdiction, you have no right to use, view, or engage with AIO online in any way whatsoever. To do so when your jurisdiction would consider AIO or its online activities unlawful is to access our data system(s) with either no authorization or an exceedance of authorized access as applicable.

HOW WE DISCLOSE YOUR PERSONAL DATA

AIO may affiliate with other vendors or professionals, consistent with applicable law governing confidentiality, in order to better serve you.

AIO may disclose Personal Data in the following ways:

• AIO may disclose personal data to business affiliates and service providers in order to support our business operations, such as (but not limited to) fulfilling your orders, following up on requests, providing support and assisting AIO with sales, marketing and communication initiatives. These business affiliates and service providers include distributors, resellers, payment processors, social media providers, marketing providers, cloud storage providers, financial service providers and institutions, materials production and shipping companies, postal or government authorities, market intelligence and consulting service providers, and information technology service providers. Business affiliates and service providers may be governed by applicable law and contract (for example, other privacy policies) to keep the information received on behalf of AIO confidential and secure and not use it for any purpose other than the purpose for which it was provided to them.
• AIO may disclose personal data as required by law or legal process, such as responding to a duly authorized and lawful request of a police or public authority (including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements), to enforce or protect the rights of AIO, when such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss as permitted by applicable law, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
• AIO may also disclose personal data in the context of a business transaction involving part or all of AIO, such as a merger, acquisition, joint venture, consolidation, or divestiture. Such a transaction may involve the disclosure of personal data to prospective or actual affiliates, joint venturers, or purchasers, or the receipt of it. It is AIO’S practice to seek appropriate protection for information in these types of transactions. Following such a business transaction, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal data with any inquiries concerning the use of that information.
