Introduction
At Williams Weese Pepple & Ferguson (“WWPF,” “we,” or “us”), we understand the importance of your privacy. This Privacy Policy informs you about our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, security and disclosure of information received from users of our site. Please review this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use prior to further use of our site. By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. This Privacy Policy is expressly incorporated into our Terms of Use.
This Privacy Policy may be updated or revised from time to time. We may do so, at any time and without notice (except to the extent required by law), by posting the revised version on this site. We suggest that you review this Privacy Policy periodically for any such changes. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party site that may be accessible through this site.
Information Governed by this Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy governs information collected through our site at www.williamsweese.com, and its subdomains. This Privacy Policy does not govern emails you may send to us, or information you may provide to us, by any means other than through your interactions with this site.
Collection of Information
This site provides you information about WWPF. There are no direct information submission forms through the site, but we may collect certain non-personally identifiable information through your interactions with our site.
Types of Information Collected
When you visit our site, we collect information sent to us automatically by your web browser. This information typically includes your Internet Protocol (IP) address (which in some jurisdictions is considered to be personally-identifiable information), as well as non-personally identifiable information including the identity of your Internet service provider, the name and version of your operating system, the name and version of your web browser, the “referring” site from which you initially arrived at our site, the date and time of your visit, and the pages you visit on our site.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our site uses standard technology called “cookies,” which are small data files that are transferred to your hard drive when your browser settings permit the acceptance of cookies. Cookies automatically identify your web browser whenever you visit our site, and may save your preferences and other information related to your use of our site. Our site may use cookies or other technologies provided by site analytics services such as Google Analytics to help us better understand how our site is used, and to help us determine which features and content on our site are most important to our visitors. To learn more about, or to opt-out of Google’s analytic and marketing services, visit Google Analytics Terms of Use, the Google Privacy Policy, or Google Analytics Opt-out. Please note: some cookies/other technologies may track your activities not only on our site, but on third party sites you visit after you leave our site, and some services may aggregate this information collected from many sites into a single profile. To learn more about cookies and similar technologies and how they can affect your privacy, visit allaboutcookies.org.
If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, your browser settings may allow you to turn off cookies; however, some areas of the site may not provide you with full functionality if you have disabled the use of cookies. Please note, most modern browsers include a “do not track” feature that may help protect your privacy. However, because there is not yet a defined response to do-not-track requests, our site does not respond to your browser’s do-not-track request.
Use of Information
Computer data sent automatically by your web browser may be used for internal and marketing purposes, and then discarded when we no longer need it. However, please be advised that we may review our server logs – which contain visitors’ IP addresses – for security and fraud prevention purposes, and to determine other general information regarding users of our site.
Please note that to the extent you provide us with your email address or other contact information by means other than this site (including if you are a client of WWPF), we may add you to our email lists, and may occasionally send you information we believe would be of interest to you. If you wish to opt-out of any of these email communications, you may do so by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of each email.
Security
We take reasonable precautions to provide a level of security appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we collect through this site. While we take reasonable measures to ensure the security of this information, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided over the internet or stored in our databases.
Disclosure of Information
We reserve the right to use and share any information collected through this site as we deem necessary: to investigate suspected illegal conduct or violations of the Terms of Use governing this site; to comply with legal process (including a court order or subpoena); to assist law enforcement agencies in an investigation; to protect the rights, property or safety of WWPF, our users or others; to protect the vital interests of any individual; or if we believe in good faith it is required by law. We may share analyses of our server logs, including details regarding site usage and general information about our audience, with our service providers and others in connection with our business. Such disclosures will typically refer only to general, aggregate usage data from these analyses.
Please be aware that by using our site you are deemed to have accepted and agreed to the use and disclosure of your information collected through our site in the manner described in this Privacy Policy, and we will not be required to obtain your consent for any uses or disclosures described in this Privacy Policy.
Modification or Deletion of Information
If you wish to modify or delete any information which we have collected through our site, or which we may otherwise have, please contact us as described on our contact page. We will use reasonable efforts to delete information we have stored in our databases and otherwise if it is no longer needed for your legal representation, however we cannot guarantee that all instances of all data collected will be permanently removed. In addition, we cannot be responsible for the modification or deletion of any information we have provided to third parties as described herein.
