WHAT INFORMATION DOES LEC GATHER AND/OR TRACK ABOUT YOU?

Anonymous Information

Legal-Explanations.Com (“LEC”) may gather anonymous information, which may be used by LEC or shared with third parties. This information does not personally identify you but may be helpful for improving the services we offer. Generally this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "cookies," "IP addresses," or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.

Cookies: "Cookies" give users a special, random ID that are small text files, which are stored on the hard drive of a user's computer. LEC employs cookies to recognize you and your access privileges for certain locations on the Web site, such as the Practice Centers, as well as to track site usage. LEC also uses an advertising server developed by a third party, currently GoogleAdsense, to display ads on the Web site. Some of these ads may contain cookies that are set by third parties (i.e., advertising agencies or advertising clients). LEC does not have access to these cookies or any information that they may contain.

IP Addresses: LEC also logs IP addresses for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. (Your IP address indicates the location of your computer on the Internet.) LEC does not log IP addresses to track your session, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable.

WHAT DOES LEC DO WITH THE INFORMATION IT GATHERS AND/OR TRACKS?

Statistical Analysis and Banner Advertising: LEC may perform statistical analyses of user behavior in order to measure interest in the various areas of our site (for product development purposes) and to inform advertisers as to how many consumers have seen or "clicked" their advertising banners. LEC also uses demographic information to allow advertising banners on the Web site to be targeted to the readers for whom they are most pertinent. This means that readers will see advertising that is most likely to interest them, and advertisers send their messages to people who are most likely to be receptive, improving both the user's experience and the effectiveness of the ads. In this statistical analyses and banner advertisement targeting, we will disclose information to third parties only in aggregate form, with no personally identifiable information.

LEC Provider Partner Products & Services: While visiting the Web site, you may decide to use a product or service through one of our provider partners whose services are promoted or advertised on the site. If you do so, you will be acting under the guidelines of the third party provider's privacy policy, if it has one. LEC cannot make guarantees or warranties as to the nature of a third party's use of your personal information.

A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT CHILDREN AND NON-U.S. USERS

The Web site is directed to adults and not directed to children under the age of 13. LEC asks that minors not submit any personal information to us. LEC complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and does not permit registration by and will not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 13.
