Information from all website browsers
LawNexa owns and operates https://www.LawNexa.com (the “Site”). If you’re just browsing our Site and are not a registered User, we generally collect the same basic information that most other websites collect. We employ common internet technologies such as cookies and web server logs. We collect information about all visitors (whether they have an account with us or not) to our website including the visitor’s browser type, language preference, referring link, additional websites requested, and the date and time of each visitor request. We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
Why do we collect this information?
We collect this information to help us understand how our visitors use LawNexa, for capacity planning, to troubleshoot website performance, to help us understand how we may better serve our visitors, and to monitor and protect the security of our Site.
Information from Users who have an account with us
When you create an account with us (as a User), we require some basic information at the time of the creation of the account. You will create your own password, and we will ask you for your name, your company’s name and address, Federal Employer Identification Number, telephone and fax numbers, job title and a valid email account. Additionally, for attorneys, we will ask for your Bar license number to determine compliance with State and other disciplinary boards. Finally, we collect certain credit card and other payment information and other business information that you provide for transactional purposes such as, but not limited to, payment of subscription fees, payment of referral lead fees, payment of dispute resolution fees, payment for employment postings, payments for advertisements and other similar transactions. Certain Site features include the availability of employment postings, advertisements for the sale of practices, professional forums and occasional other similar areas and you are advised that use of information in these areas may be publicly viewable when using these functionalities. Users may generally not post certain information regarding their clientele that may be viewed by other Users. Client information for referral lead purposes may only be posted upon receipt of client authorization. Should you post certain information about your clientele in your individual or firm profile pages, you must obtain client authorization for this purpose. It is the responsibility of each User to make certain that any client personal information transmitted is permissible under federal and State laws and authorized by the person whose information is being transmitted.
Information that we collect will be stored and processed in the United States in accordance with this privacy policy. We understand that we will have users from different regions of the world with different privacy expectations. We provide the same standard of privacy protection to all our users regardless of their country of origin.
We need the requested personal information to create your account and to provide the requested services. We may use this personal information to contact you for market research purposes.
Additionally, we may reveal certain profile information (not including your taxpayer identification number, credit card or bank account information) to other Users who you voluntarily agree with on our Site for transactional purposes. We will use your email address to communicate with you and such information may include solicitations or advertisements from us or our third party business partners. We assign you a User ID and will use your User ID in our professional forum whenever you ask or answer a User question. We will also use your User ID to reveal certain requested transactional information.

We use collected information to build quality and useful services and user interactions by analyzing user trends and by measuring demographics and interests. Collected information is used to send promotional messages, product announcements, or other communications that may be of interest to you.

Your personal information may also be used or shared in other ways that you either imply or expressly give consent to or instruct us to undertake. We use and maintain your information as determined by the company’s business needs, or as required or permitted by law.

Industry standards are currently evolving and we may not separately respond to or take any action with respect to a “do not track” configuration set in your internet browser.
We use third party tracking services to collect information about how our Site performs and how our users navigate through our Site.

We may retain certain personal information for a longer period of time in order to comply with User disputes and other legal requirements, including, but not limited to tax reporting issues.

If we cannot resolve the issue internally, you agree with us to have the dispute handled through binding arbitration. You agree that we shall select the jurisdiction for arbitration and that we shall select a single, independent arbitrator. Costs of arbitration shall be borne equally unless one party substantially prevails against the other party, in which case the non-prevailing party shall bear all of the costs of arbitration.
