PRIVACY POLICY
WELCOME
Welcome to www.GBs-law.com (“Site”). The Site is owned and operated by Gray Bugos & Schroeder LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, (“GBS”, “we”, “us” or “our”) and is operated by and on behalf of GBS. This Privacy Policy is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use and disclosure of information that we may collect from and about you. Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this Site.
YOUR CONSENT
By using this Site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you submit information via this Site, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, which are incorporated herein by reference, and any specific provisions of this Site that may be presented at the time information is collected. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, do not use this Site or provide any information.
ABOUT CHILDREN
The Site is a general audience site. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of thirteen on the Site. If in the future, we collect personally identifiable information from children, we will do so in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.). The Internet offers children wonderful educational and entertainment resources. Your guidance and involvement are essential to help ensure that children have a safe and rewarding online experience. We encourage you to visit the Direct Marketing Association’s Web site (www.the-dma.org) and explore the Get CyberSavvy! Program as well as the GetNetWise Web site (www.getnetwise.org) to learn more about parental control tools
ACTIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION
Like many Web sites, this Site may collect information from its visitors by permitting them to communicate directly with us via e-mail or a contact form. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is, information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name, address, e-mail address, phone number and so on).
PASSIVE INFORMATION COLLECTION
As you navigate through this Site and/or receive emails in connection with this Site, certain information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies and means, including, without limitation, those described below:
COOKIES
As with many websites, this Site uses standard technology called “cookies,” which are small data files that are transferred to your computer when you allow your browser to accept cookies. Cookies automatically identify your Web browser to the Site whenever you visit the Site, and make your using the Site easier for you by saving your passwords, purchases, tracking business preferences, product and services preferences and so forth. By tracking how and when you use the Site, cookies help us determine which areas are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the Site are based on data obtained from cookies.
Accepting cookies allows you, among other things, to personalize your experience on the Site. Cookies may also allow the Site to present to you information which may be of interest to you. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you generally can opt out of providing this information by turning the cookies off in your browser; however, some areas of the Site may not provide you with a personalized experience if you have disabled the use of cookies.
IP ADDRESSES AND AUTOMATIC INFORMATION
We may collect IP addresses and/or automatic information for purposes of system administration. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. Our computers identify your computer by its IP address. When you request web pages from the Site, our computers log your IP address.
Automatic information is information collected by our computers when you request web pages from the Site. Automatic information may include such information as the page served, the time, the source of the request, the type of browser making the request, the preceding page view and other such information. When analyzed, this data helps us analyze how visitors arrive at the Site, what type of content is most popular, what type of visitors in the aggregate are interested in particular kinds of content and advertising, business interest, networking potential, information capture and areas of interest for tracking purposes, business preferences, networking preferences, activity preferences or the like.
USE AND DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION
In general, we protect personally identifiable information collected and except as otherwise stated, GBS may use information you provide to improve the content of our Site, to customize the display of the Site to your preferences, to communicate information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research purposes, for tracking business preferences, for tracking product and service preferences and for other purposes specified and identified in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this Site, we may combine such information with other actively collected information unless specified otherwise at the point of collection on this Site. We may combine personally identifiable information with passively collected information.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information:
i. in connection with the sale, assignment or other transfer of the business of this Site to which the information relates;
ii. in connection with tracking business, product or service interests; or
iii. where required by applicable laws, court orders or government regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through this Site that is not in personally identifiable form.
ACCESS AND CORRECTION
To keep your personally identifiable information accurate, current and complete, please contact us as specified below. We will take reasonable steps to update or correct personally identifiable information in our possession that you have previously submitted via this Site.
SECURITY
We will take reasonable steps to protect any personally identifiable information asm you transmit your information from your computer to our Site and to protect such information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. In particular, email sent to or from this Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.
LINKS TO OTHER WEB SITES
You should be aware that when you are on this Site, you could be directed to other sites beyond our control. For example, if you “click” the payment link, the “click” will take you off the Site onto a different web site. These other web sites may send their own cookies to you, independently collect data or solicit personal information and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. If you visit a web site that is linked to our Site, you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information. Please note that GBS is not responsible or liable for the privacy practices of third parties.
