Collection of your Information

Site Visits and Tracking

Like many websites, we use Google Analytics to track website visitors and interaction. We use this service to learn how visitors interact with our site and to help use make our site more useful.

Google Analytics tracks information such as what browser you're using, what device you're using, and where you are geographically. None of this information makes you personally identifiable to us. Google Analytics does track your IP address which could identify you personally, but Google doesn't grant us access to that information. We consider Google Analytics to be a third-party data processor.

Google Analytics uses cookies for tracking, and you can learn more about that on their website.

Disabling cookies in your web browser will prevent Google Analytics from tracking your page visits, but it will likely break other aspects of this website. Many areas of this website need cookies enabled to function correctly.

Comments

If you decide to submit a comment on our blog, the name and email address you submit will be stored in our website's database, along with your computer's IP address, and timestamp for your comment. This information associated with the comment is used only on this website and is not forwarded to a third-party data processor. The name you submitted with the comment is shown publicly along with a Gravatar image if you have an associated Gravatar profile.

When you send us an email, any personal information you include with your email will be stored on the email server we use (which is currently the service provided by Google's Gmail).

When you purchase a Writing for Lawyers video series or a LIVE ONLINE with Gary session, we collect your personal information as part of the checkout process. We collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, and law firm in order to complete the transaction.
