Privacy Policy

Morning Law Group, P.C. (the “Firm,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy of personally identifiable information collected about you through our website and otherwise in connection with the provision of our legal services (collectively, our “Services”). We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. To that end, this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) describes the ways in which we collect, use, and share the information you provide to us or that we otherwise collect or receive in the course of operating our business and our websites. It also sets out how we store and protect such information, and describes certain rights you may have with respect to the PII that we hold about you. Unless you and we expressly agree in writing, your personal information will be processed according to the terms of this Policy. By using our Services, you accept the terms of this Policy.

Information We Collect

Nonpublic Personal Information

We collect personally identifiable information and nonpublic personal information (collectively, “PII”) about you that either you provide to us or that we obtain while providing you with Services that you have requested. For purposes of this Policy, PII means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. PII does not include publicly available information from government records, deidentified or aggregate information, or information excluded from the scope of applicable data privacy laws.  Your PII, in some cases, includes information about your personal finances and property, that is necessary for us to be able to provide you with the requested legal services.  Other information we collect includes your name, address, email, telephone number, information received on applications, forms, and in other communications to us, whether in writing, in person, by telephone, or by any other means, and information about your interactions with us and third parties such as creditors.

Some of the PII we collect may be considered sensitive personal information, such as: social security number, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport numbers, financial account information, racial or ethnic origin, the contents of communications (as authorized), and data concerning health (“Sensitive PII”). We only use Sensitive PII as necessary to provide our Services, or otherwise as permitted by applicable law. We shall seek explicit consent prior to processing Sensitive PII for any other purpose.

Anonymous or Deidentified Data

If you visit our website, we may collect anonymous, aggregate or deidentified data from you that may not by itself reasonably identify you as the source.  This data may include internet addresses, time of visits, pages viewed, device type, devise OS, browser type, and clickstream information. We use this information to monitor and improve the performance of the site.  As required by applicable law, we take reasonable measures to ensure that the deidentified data we collect is not personally identifiable and may not later be easily used to identify you.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to an internet browser, which enables the site to remember and customize your subsequent visits. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for you to navigate our site, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track your activities while using our site.

We may store information we collect through cookies, log files, and/or clear gifs to create a profile that details viewing preferences. Consequently, collected information is tied to a user’s personal information and may be used to provide offers, improve the content of the site, and for other internal business purposes. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you reject cookies, you may still use the site, but please note that some parts of the site may be limited or not function properly. We do not share profiles with third parties except as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

GIFs; Analytics; Third Parties

We may also use clear GIFs (web beacons, pixel tags), which are small graphics embedded invisibly on web pages that function similar to cookies. We may use these tracking technologies to track the activities of users of our site, help us manage our web content, and compile statistics about usage of our site and Services. We may also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to our Firm community, to help us track email response rates, to identify when our emails are viewed, and to track whether our emails are forwarded.

We may also collect deidentified information through automated applications, such as Google Analytics, to evaluate the use of our site and Services and improve the user experience. These applications may use tracking technologies to perform their services and may combine the information they collect about you on our site with other information they have collected for their own purposes. We do not control these third party tracking technologies or how they may be used. If you have any questions about targeted content, you should contact the responsible provider of that targeted content directly.

We may collect or receive PII about you from service providers and other third parties, including clients, representatives, advisers, government authorities, and public sources, among other sources, who assist us in providing our Services. The privacy practices of these parties may differ from the practices described in this Policy. We do not make any representations or warranties concerning, and will not in any way be liable for, any informational content, products, services, software, or other materials available through third parties. Your use of third party services and/or third party websites is governed by and subject to the terms and conditions of those third parties and/or third party websites. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies and statements of such third parties and/or third party websites.

Children’s Information

We do not promote our Services to, nor do we intentionally collect or retain PII from, children who are younger than 18 years of age. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 18 years of age, we will promptly take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our systems.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the PII we collect to for lawful business purposes, including to provide you with the Services you have requested. For example, we use your contact information to communicate with you about the legal services we are providing at your request, to send you information and updates, to respond to your inquiries, questions, and/or other requests, or to share client alerts, legal news and other information that you may opt out of receiving. We use your financial or property information specifically for providing the requested legal services.  We may also use your PII for our legitimate business interests, so long as they are not overridden by your own rights and interests, or with your consent, or as required by law. We may also use PII to promote the safety and security of the site and our users and third parties, for example, by authenticating users or enforcing our terms.

We use information to analyze and improve our site and Services and to audit interactions with our site. We may use anonymous information collected from our website in the aggregate to understand how visitors (as a group) use the resources provided on our site, to evaluate the effectiveness of the site, and to improve our site and Services.

How and To Whom We Disclose Your Information

We may disclose your PII to third parties for business purposes as specified below. Otherwise, we do not sell, rent, lease, or “share” PII, and will not disclose your PII to third parties without your permission.

To Our Affiliates: We may disclose your PII to our affiliates and business partners, including other relationship law firms.

To Contractors and Service Providers: We may disclose your PII to third party contractors and service providers that assist us in providing user support, communicating with users, and promoting our Services, as well as third party contractors and service providers that provide other services to us relating to our Services and/or the site, including our advisers, accountants, and regulators. We only make these business purpose disclosures under written agreements that require the recipient to keep the PII confidential, and prohibit using the disclosed information for any purpose except performing the contract.

Sale or Acquisition of Assets: If we become involved in a transaction involving the sale of our assets, such as a merger or acquisition, or if we are transferred to another company, we may disclose and/or transfer your PII as part of the transaction. If the surviving entity in that transaction is not us, the surviving company may use your PII pursuant to its own privacy policies, and those policies may be different from this Policy.

Other Third Parties: We may disclose your PII to other third parties as expressly authorized by you, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

You Have The Right to Prohibit Disclosure

Should we ask for verification, the information you provide to verify your identity will be used only for that purpose, and all copies of this information in our possession will be destroyed when the process is complete.  If we cannot verify your identity, we cannot respond to your request or provide you with PII.  We try to respond to all requests within thirty (30) days, but can take up to ninety (90) days if we inform you of the delay and the reason in writing.
