Information MyLawBox
Collects On-Line and How MyLawBox Uses It
PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Personally identifying information is generally
available to MyLawBox only if you supply it voluntarily through the Web site or
in connection with a purchase of a subscription. For instance, in setting up
your Member Account, MyLawBox collects certain types of personal information
such as your name, credit card number for Member Accounts, and e-mail address.
MyLawBox also collects corporate information such as firm name, phone number,
fax number, company address, and number of potential users, related to the
particular authorized user for billing and reporting purposes for the corporate
account holder. Other information that identifies you personally may be
collected by MyLawBox through comments, inquiries or suggestions submitted
through MyLawBox’s site. MyLawBox does not collect any additional information
from third parties except Judgments from the Courts which may contain
information on you if you have been involved in a particular legal matter that
has been sent to MyLawBox. MyLawBox may publish such a judgment as part of its
normal business and for no other reason. All collection of credit card
information - where the payment is real time - is done using a third party
vendor. The third party uses industry standard
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encrypted servers. SSL codes the information
transferred between you and the server, rendering it unreadable to anyone
trying to intercept the information.
You are not required to provide any personal
information to search MyLawBox’s databases. However, you are required to
establish an account which provides a username and password in order to fully
access certain materials in MyLawBox’s databases. You can change your password
at any time but not your username. Any password you choose may be accessed by
MyLawBox staff but no-one else. Any personal information that you share with
MyLawBox will be used for limited internal purposes, including processing your
transactions, customer service, marketing, development, content processing,
content classification and providing you with information regarding MyLawBox’s
services. Please note that if you do wish to receive MyLawBox’s Law Bulletin
newsletter, you need to subscribe to this separately - there is no fee for
this. Details on subscribing to the Bulletin are available on the front page of
the Site. With Member Accounts, MyLawBox does not share your name, e-mail
address, credit card numbers, mailing address, purchasing history or any other
personal identifying information that is collected from the Site with any third
parties, except as necessary to process your transactions.
MyLawBox reserves the right to disclose your
personal information if required to do so by law, or in the belief of good
faith that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process,
respond to claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of its
employees, its customers, or the public. If MyLawBox did so disclose the
information, MyLawBox would, if allowed by law, inform you of such a
disclosure.
Your access to most services and content is
password protected. MyLawBox recommends that you do not divulge your password
to anyone. MyLawBox will never ask you for your
password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. You should
not disclose your user name and password to others. In addition, if applicable,
you should remember to sign out of your MyLawBox
account or service at the end of each session. You may also wish to close your
browser window when you have finished your work. A final precaution would be to
clear the browser cache after the session. The cache stores files that you have
accessed and may allow another to view your legal research or personal
information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are
using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the
Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, despite MyLawBox’s
efforts to protect your personal information, MyLawBox cannot ensure or warrant
the security of any information you transmit to MyLawBox, or to or from
MyLawBox’s online products or services. You transmit all such information at
your own risk. However, once MyLawBox receives your transmission, MyLawBox
makes its best effort to ensure its security on its systems.
E-MAIL ADDRESSES
MyLawBox collects e-mail addresses as part of
providing services. MyLawBox may send you e-mails from time-to-time for
customer service or marketing purposes. In no circumstances is your e-mail
address shared, sold, given to any third party or any affiliated company
without your consent.
AGGREGATE AND "CLICK STREAM" INFORMATION
MyLawBox collect aggregate information about you
and your use of its services, whether you have an account or not. For instance,
MyLawBox may collect various forms of click stream information such as IP
address information, entry and exit points for the Site (i.e., referring URLs
or domains), search terms, site traffic, page views, impressions, and operating
system and browser type. Such aggregate information generally will not
personally identify you or be correlated to you. If MyLawBox does correlate any
aggregate information to you specifically, MyLawBox will do so for its internal
use only and will not disclose such information to any third party. MyLawBox
may collect, compile, store, publish, promote, report, sell, or otherwise
disclose or use any and all aggregate information, provided that, such
information does not personally identify you.
COOKIES
MyLawBox may make use of "cookies" on the Site.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on a user's computer by the Web
server through a user's browser. A cookie itself is not designed or intended to
read any information from your computer (other than the contents of the
cookie); rather, it is an identifier used by a web site that originally placed
it on your hard drive. The actual contents of the cookie information can be
retrieved by the same server to identify the computer and subsequently to
customize, monitor, or regulate the use of the site based on information stored
in the cookie or host server. Therefore, cookies allow MyLawBox to automate
access and data entry functions of the Site such as login information,
correlate online ordering information for purchases you may make while at the
Site (if any), tailor the Site to your preferences or interests, or customize
promotions or marketing. In addition, cookies allow MyLawBox to track usage of
the Site to determine those areas of the Site which are useful or popular and
those that are not thereby enabling it to improve and update the Site
effectively.
You may adjust your Web browsers to either alert
you of the use of cookies or refuse to accept cookies entirely. For Internet
Explorer, you can click on the "Start" button and then select Control Panel,
Internet Options and the Security tab. If you click on the "Custom" button, you
will be able to see the cookie options. For Netscape users, in the browser,
select File, Preferences and then Advanced to view the cookie options.
Beware that if you elect not to accept
cookies, some parts of the Site may not function properly or permit access.
ADVERTISING SERVICES AND PROFILING
MyLawBox does not carry advertisements but in the
event that it does in the future it will not supply and will not permit
advertising services on the Site to directly collect any personally identifying
information; however, in some cases, IP address information may be referred to
an advertising service servicing ads on the Site.
You also should be aware that an advertising
service may have the ability to correlate otherwise anonymous cookie
information that it collects from the Site (or co-branded sites) to you if you
have previously provided personally identifying information to (a) the
advertising service directly or (b) a site which shares such information with
the same advertising service. In any case you should refer to the advertising
service's privacy policy.
Links to Other Sites
A link from the Site to another site does not
imply endorsement of that site. MyLawBox does not control the sites to which it
links and assumes no responsibility for their content or privacy policies.
Therefore, you should carefully review all terms and conditions that apply to
any site you access from the Site. This includes any company providing on-line
payment via credit card or e-banking.

update your account information, review your usage, and receive your password
by e-mail if you have forgotten it. MyLawBox is not responsible for any of the
information so viewed, received or altered since the control of your username
and password and your e-mail is your responsibility. Users who allow others to
use their account for accessing this service are in breach of the
Terms & Conditionsof use of this service and access may be denied.
