Privacy Bill Of Rights: Our Commitment To PrivacyYour privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this Privacy Bill of Rights explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make a link available at the bottom of every page on the LawCash site when you are logged in. Privacy Bill Of Rights: The Information We CollectCertain features of LawCash require registration. The types of personal information collected to register on the site may include a consumer's name, address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth, gender, marital status, education, and household income. Once you provide LawCash with this information, you are no longer anonymous. If you choose to withhold registration information, we will not be able to provide you with some of our services dependent on collection of this information, such as periodic recall or case information via e-mails or certain software products (the "CAA software products") provided by LawCash to its users, such as the LawCash Toolbar or Desktop Alert program. LawCash software products may also upgrade their functionalities from time to time without further action on your part. LawCash may collect additional personal and non-personal information about you. This may include:
You should be aware that voluntary disclosure of personal information, for example e-mail addresses, in the Forum/Message Boards section of our site, along with any other substantive information disclosed in a posting to a forum could be collected and used by third parties. Such use may result in unsolicited messages from other posters or third parties. Such activities are beyond our control and are not subject to this Privacy Bill of Rights, so you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. LawCash links to other web sites through a variety of ways, including text links and other types of advertisements, such as banner ads. The privacy policies of those web sites may significantly differ from that of our site. For example, these sites independently may solicit personal information or send cookies to you. It is your responsibility to contact such web site operator directly to determine their privacy policy. We are not responsible for any use of the information including click-stream data that you may create when using such 3rd party sites. Privacy Bill Of Rights: How We Use InformationWe use the personal information you provide to us to enhance the LawCash experience, fulfill your request for products, programs, or services, personalize your experience and provide you with special partner offers we think you will find valuable. We will not rent or sell your information to any 3rd party. If you receive an e-mail, it will be sent from LawCash. LawCash uses the information described above to do, among other things, the following:
We may also use the information we collect to provide summary reports to our advertisers or marketing affiliates. For example, we may tell an advertiser that "5,000 people clicked on this link and of those people, 10% were registered users above the age of 21." This information helps assist our marketing partners in determining how to promote their products. We reserve the right to disclose any information we obtain from your use of this site if such action is necessary (a) to conform to the requirements of the law or to comply with legal process or subpoena served upon us, (b) to protect and defend the legal rights or property of Kahn Gauthier Swick, LLC, the site, or its users, or (c) in an emergency, to protect the health and safety of its users or the general public. We further reserve the right to release any information concerning any user if that user participates (or is reasonably suspected of participating) in any illegal activity, even without a subpoena, warrant, or other court order. We cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who may be using our servers or services for illegal activities. We also reserve the right to report any suspected illegal activity to law enforcement for investigation or prosecution. please contact us with any questions concerning how we use your information.

You can choose at anytime after registration, to opt out of receiving emails from LawCash. If you want to opt out, you can do so by clicking at the bottom of any email and following the instructions on the landing page to edit your preferences with respect to email, or you may simply login to LawCash through any login link on the web site. If you elect to "opt out" we will not send you emails you specify. However, LawCash may continue to use your personal information for internal purposes, to enhance your user experience or as necessary to administer the site or comply with applicable law. If you have installed a LawCash Software Product, you may choose to remove that product from your computer at any time. Privacy Bill Of Rights: CookiesAs a standard practice, LawCash assigns a random number to each user for anonymously tracking content preferences and traffic patterns. This random number is kept in a file on your computer called a "cookie." Cookies also allow us to keep track of how often users are using specific areas of our site - like checking on class actions and recalls or simply visiting our site each month. Cookies help enhance the user experience so we can better service you when you visit the site. LawCash does require users to accept a temporary cookie in order to identify you to our system. Such as cookie is only put on your hard drive while you use LawCash, and is then deleted when you leave the site. If you have questions about how to change your browser's "cookie" settings, please contact the software manufacturer. Privacy Bill Of Rights: Our Commitment To Data SecurityTo prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online. Online, your personal information is protected through secure sockets layer software (SSL) and sophisticated firewall technology. You can identify the secure connection by looking at the URL, which will begin with https: (instead of http:). Additionally, your registration information and all information sent to you at your personal "My Class Action" page is protected by requiring a password. While we strive to treat your information securely and in accordance with our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Bill of Rights, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you use these services at your own risk.
