Privacy Policy

1. ACTIVITY LOGGING. When You use the Site, which may be hosted in part or its entirety by a third party, the Site will collect information indirectly and automatically (through, for example, the use of “cookies” or Your “IP address”) about Your activities. PL uses this activity information (the “Activity Information”) for internal purposes such as to administer the Site, improve the Site, and help PL understand how the Site is being used including the demographics and “clickstreams” of its visitors. “Cookies” are small pieces of information stored on Your hard drive, not on the Site. You are always free to decline cookies if Your browser permits, but in that case, some portions of the Site may not operate properly.

2. PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. The Site is designed so that You may generally browse it without providing any Personally Identifiable Information (defined below). Certain areas of the Site, however, may require or allow the voluntarily submission of Personally Identifiable Information (for example, e-mail inquiries or registration to receive PL publications or to attend PL events). PL uses Your Personally Identifiable Information for the purposes for which it was submitted by You to PL and for PL to send You publications and invitations that may be of interest to You. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2, PL does not share Your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties. “Personally Identifiable Information” means information that would allow someone to identify or contact You, such as Your name, physical or electronic mail address, and telephone number; provided, however, that Personally Identifiable Information does not include aggregated information that, by itself, does not permit the identification of individual persons and does not include the Activity Information. PL will use reasonable efforts to remove Your Personally Identifiable Information from our then current Site at any time upon Your written request to info@prosperalaw.com. Such removal of Personally Identifiable Information will not ensure the permanent removal of such Personally Identifiable Information from the Site. For example, such Personally Identifiable Information may remain in PL’s archival or backup copies of the Site.

3. ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION: PL may share Personally Identifiable Information with third parties, including affiliated firms and third parties performing services for or on behalf of PL . Such services may include communications, database, event management, hosting, mailing, and marketing services. Additionally, PL cannot fully ensure that Your Personally Identifiable Information will not be disclosed to third parties. For example, PL may be legally obligated to disclose information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may circumvent PL’s security measures to unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or an error may occur in the administration of the PL Site. In the unlikely event that PL needs to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, PL may, and You authorize PL to, disclose any information about You to government officials as permitted by applicable law. In the event that PL is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, PL reserves the right to sell or transfer user information (including Personally Identifiable Information) as part of any such transaction. To the maximum extent allowable by law, the Privacy Policy will apply to the user information as transferred to the successor entity. However, user information submitted after a transfer to a successor entity may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the successor entity.
