This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we obtain, how we may use that personal information, with whom we may share it and how you may exercise your rights regarding our processing of that information. The Privacy Policy also describes the measures we take to safeguard the personal information we obtain and how you can contact us about our privacy practices.

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information we obtain through Clooten Law properties, including websites, products, services, desktop and mobile apps, and other tools offered by Clooten Law that reference this Privacy Policy (“Online Channels”); offline collection, including Clooten Law events, surveys, questionnaires, customer user research and evaluations (“Offline Channels”); and third-party sources, including business partners, ad networks and vendors (collectively, the “Offerings”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to other Clooten Law products and services that post separate privacy policies.

In connection with providing support, and other services, Clooten Law processes certain data maintained in environments that Clooten Law may access to perform cloud, consulting and support services (“Customer Content”) on behalf of and at the direction of its customers and partners, as well as log data (e.g., regarding access and authentication requests) that we collect for analysis and security purposes across our services. Our use of such Customer Content and log data is subject to the terms of our customer agreements and is not governed by this Privacy Policy. In contrast, the information we collect through our customers’ and partners’ use of our websites (such as names, addresses, billing information and employee contact information) and through our offline interactions with customers and partners is subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

The Online Channels may provide links to other third-party websites and features. Some of these third-party websites may be co-branded with a Clooten Law logo even though they are not owned, controlled, operated or maintained by Clooten Law. Clooten Law does not share your personal information with those websites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. These websites are subject to their respective privacy policies. In some cases, we may provide the Offerings jointly with other businesses. For these co-branded offerings in which a third party is involved in your transactions, we will sometimes share or jointly collect customer data related to those transactions with that third party.

Personal Information We Obtain

The data we obtain varies based on the Offerings you use. We obtain personal information through your interaction with the Offerings, such as when you:

• sign up for an online program, event, seminar, promotion, etc.;
• request services;
• participate in Clooten Law events, surveys, questionnaires, research or evaluations; or
• correspond with us or request information from us.

The types of personal information we obtain include:

• contact information (such as name email address, telephone number, postal or other physical address) for you or for others;
• information generally related to legal discovery;
• biographical and demographic information (such as gender, job title/position and occupation);
• photographs;
• billing and financial information (such as name, billing address, payment card details and bank account information and purchase history);
• location data (such as data derived from your IP address, country and zip code);
• the precise geolocation of your mobile device;
• personal information contained in forums, blogs, and testimonials you provide or that we obtain from publicly available sources (such as social media channels);
• information necessary to provide support or other paid consulting services (such as contact details, chat services, support details, and event history);
• personal information contained in content you submit to us (such as through our “Contact” feature or other in-product or in-service messaging); and
• other personal information we obtain through our Offerings.

Please note that providing personal information to us is voluntary on your part. If you choose not to provide us certain information, we may not be able to offer you certain products and services, and you may not be able to access certain features of the Online Channels.

How We Use Personal Information

We use the information we obtain to:

• provide and administer our services;
• help you complete a transaction or order and provide customer support;
• bill you for services you purchased;
• provide training, support and consulting services;
• create and manage your account with Clooten Law;
• operate, evaluate and improve our business (such as by administering, developing, enhancing and improving our products and services; managing our communications and customer relationships; and performing accounting, auditing, billing, reconciliation and collection activities);
• perform data analytics (such as research, trend analysis, financial analysis and customer segmentation);
• communicate with you about your account and orders (including sending emails relating to your registration, account status, order confirmations, renewal or expiration notices and other important information);
• communicate with you about, and administer your participation in, events, programs, promotions and surveys;
• verify your identity and protect your account against unauthorized use or abuse of our services;
• protect against, identify and prevent fraud and other unlawful activity, claims and other liabilities;
• comply with and enforce relevant industry standards, contractual obligations and our policies;
• maintain and enhance the security of our Online Channels, products, services, network services, information resources and employees; and
• respond to your inquiries.

Depending on the purposes for which personal information is used, and the context in which the data is obtained, we may rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• performance of a contract with you or a relevant party;
• our legitimate business interests;
• compliance with a legal obligation, a court order, or to exercise or defend legal claims; or
• your consent to the processing, which you can revoke at any time.

We may combine data collected from you with other sources to help us improve the accuracy of our marketing and communications as well as to help expand or tailor our interactions with you.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent for the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

How We Share Your Personal Information

We do not sell or otherwise disclose personal information about you except as described here or at the time of collection. Clooten Law may share personal data in the following ways:

• to keep you up to date
• within Clooten Law (including among affiliates and subsidiaries) for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy;
• for the purposes of validating information;
• with our joint marketing and sales partners and other business partners who help us with our business operations or other aspects of our business and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We also may disclose personal information about you (1) if we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law, regulation or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena), (2) to law enforcement authorities or other government officials to comply with a legitimate legal request, (3) when we believe disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss to Clooten Law, its users or the public as required or permitted by law, (4) to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, and (5) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual fraud, illegal activity, security or technical issues.

In addition, we reserve the right to transfer to relevant third parties information we have about you in the event of a potential or actual sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, reorganization, divestiture, dissolution or liquidation) or other business transaction.

Where provided by law, you may withdraw any consent you previously provided to us or object at any time on legitimate grounds to the processing of your personal information, and we will apply your preferences going forward. This will not affect the lawfulness of our use of your information based on your consent before its withdrawal.

How We Protect Personal Information

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards, consistent with legal requirements where the personal information was obtained, designed to protect against unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, use or disclosure of, or access to, the personal information provided to us through the Channels.

Retention of Personal Information

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we typically retain personal information we obtain about you for as long as it is needed (1) for the purposes for which we obtained it, in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy, which generally means that we will keep your personal information for the duration of our relationship or as long as you keep your account open with us; or (2) to take into account applicable statute of limitation periods and comply with applicable laws, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

Notice to California Residents

Subject to certain limits under California law, California residents may ask us to provide them with (1) a list of certain categories of personal information we have disclosed to third parties for their direct marketing purposes during the immediately preceding calendar year and (2) the identity of those third parties. To obtain this information, please send an email to clootenlaw@gmail.com “California Shine the Light Privacy Request” in the subject line and in the body of your message.

This all being said, we are an Oregon based law firm, and do not solicit business from residents of the State of California.

Children’s Personal Information

The Online Channels are designed for a general audience and are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 through the Online Channels. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete the information from our records. If you believe that a child under the age of 13 may have provided us with personal information, please contact us as specified in the How To Contact Us section of this Privacy Policy.
