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.
4. For California Users of the Site: This website is not presently configured to respond to Do-No-Track signals from web browsers or mobile devices.

PL may collect nonpublic personal information about You that is provided by You or obtained by PL in the course of providing You with legal services that You have requested. This information, in some cases, includes information about Your personal finances and property. PL may disclose nonpublic personal information about You only to individuals or entities necessary in order to provide You with the legal services that You have requested.

PL will not disclose any nonpublic personal information about You to anyone, except as is necessary in order to provide You with the legal services that You have requested. If for any reason You do not want PL to provide nonpublic personal information about You to other parties in the course of providing You with legal services, You may direct PL not to make those disclosures. If You wish to direct PL not to disclose information, please call the attorney representing You. In order to guard Your nonpublic personal information, we maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with the Code of Professional Responsibility that governs our profession. Please call the attorney representing You with any questions that You have about protecting Your privacy.

We may also collect information that Your browser provides to us regarding Your use of the Site, including time of visit, duration, and areas of interest.

Authorized Agents. You may use an authorized agent to submit a consumer rights request. When we verify your agent’s request, we may verify both your and your agent’s identity and request a signed document from you that authorizes your agent to make the request for you. To protect your personal information, we reserve the right to deny a request from an agent that does not submit adequate proof that you authorized them to act for you.
Verification. In some instances, we will need to verify your identity before honoring your privacy right request. To verify your identity, we will ask that you provide the following information when you submit your request: your name, address, telephone number, email address, and a description of your relationship to us, and the nature of your request under the CPRA (e.g., request to delete or request to know). Depending on your type of request or the information requested by you, we may require additional information in order to verify your identity and fulfill your request. If we cannot successfully verify your identity, we will inform you of that fact. We cannot fulfill your request or provide you with your personal information if we cannot verify your identity or that you have the authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us. We will honor your privacy rights request within the time provided by applicable law, unless we request an extension under the CPRA. You will not have to pay a fee to exercise your rights described herein. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to comply with your request if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. You may only make a request to know or receive personal information twice within a 12-month period.
Retaining Your Personal Information. We seek to only retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected such information, as set out in this Privacy Policy, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, subject to your rights, in certain circumstances, to have your personal information erased. We may be required by law to hold certain personal information for specific periods. In other cases, we will retain your personal information for an appropriate period after our relationship ends to protect ourselves from legal claims or to administer our business. 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 of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

We do not sell the personal information of individuals under sixteen (16) years of age, and we do not have actual knowledge that we share, use for cross-context behavioral advertising or disclose the personal information of individuals under sixteen (16) years of age.
