The information contained on this website presents general information about our firm and is not to be used as legal advice. Using this website does not create an attorney-client relationship between the user and The Walsh Law Firm or any of its lawyer(s). Past results do not guarantee future results. Laws are subject to change and information contained herein may become out of date.

The Walsh Law Firm, LLC, including its affiliated partnerships, (collectively, the “Firm”) is committed to (1) protecting the privacy of confidential and “Personal Information” (information that directly or indirectly identifies individuals who may be clients or others inside or outside the firm) and (2) complying with the rules of professional conduct, which impose a duty to preserve and protect confidential client information, upon lawyers and their associated personnel. This User Policy (“Policy”) expressly states our written commitment to such policies.

 This Policy is addressed to clients, potential clients, and/or parties outside the Firm who provide Personal Information to the Firm or who visit or use the firm’s websites, our social media sites, as well as email messages that we send to you that contain a link to this Policy (collectively, the “Online Services”).

1. Information collection practices 

How we collect and store information depends upon how you use the Online Services. In some cases, you may not provide any information other than that which is automatically collected. We may collect information about you during your use of our Online Services, including your name, email address, postal address, phone number, mobile phone number, and information you provide or post to our Online Services or allow us to access.  

Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online. Should you choose to voluntarily disclose information through our Online Services, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals or third parties. 

We may automatically collect certain information about the computer or devices (including mobile devices) you use to access our Online Services. For example, we may collect and analyze information such as (a) IP addresses, geolocation information (as described below), unique device identifiers and other information about your mobile phone or other mobile device(s), browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country from which you accessed our Online Services; and (b) information related to the ways in which you interact with our Online Services, such as: referring and exit pages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used our Online Services, the frequency of your use, error logs, and other similar information. As described further below, we may use third-party analytics providers and technologies, including cookies and similar tools, to assist in collecting this information. 

We may also capture other data, such as search criteria and results. In some cases, we will associate this information with a unique identifier (that is not intended to be used by itself to identify you) for our internal use, in which case your identifier will be considered The Walsh Law Firm, LLC’s information and nothing in this Policy restricts how we may use this information. 

We may collect different types of information about your location, including general information (e.g., IP address, zip code) and more specific information (e.g., GPS-based functionality on mobile devices used to access the Services), and may use that information to customize your use of the Site with location-based information, advertising, and features. For example, if your IP address indicates an origin in Fort Lauderdale, our Online Services may be customized with Fort Lauderdale-specific information and advertisements. In order to do this, your location information may be shared with our agents, vendors or advertisers. If you access our Online Services through a mobile device and you do not want your device to provide us with location-tracking information, you can disable the GPS or other location-tracking functions on your device, provided your device allows you to do this. See your device manufacturer’s instructions for further details. 

When you use our Online Services, we may use persistent and session cookies and other similar tracking technologies to: (a) store your username and password; (b) analyze the usage of our Online Services by collecting the information discussed above; (c) customize our Online Services to your preferences; and (d) control the advertising displayed by our Online Services, as well as advertisements that may be displayed on other websites or mobile applications. The cookies may reflect de-identified data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to us, e.g., a hashed version of your email address that we may share with service providers, solely in non-human readable form. We and our vendors may also use other Internet technologies, such as Flash technologies, Web beacons or pixel tags, and other similar technologies, to deliver or communicate with cookies and track your use of our Online Services, as well as serve you ads when you are on other websites or the Internet when those cookies can be accessed. We also may include Web beacons in e-mail messages or newsletters to determine whether the message has been opened and for other analytics. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods. 

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can modify your browser setting to decline cookies by visiting the Help portion of your browser’s toolbar. If you choose to decline cookies, please note that you may not be able to sign in, customize, or use some of the interactive features of our Online Services. Flash cookies operate differently than browser cookies, and cookie management tools available in a web browser will not remove flash cookies. To learn more about how to manage flash cookies, you can visit the Adobe website and make changes at the Global Privacy Settings Panel. 

We may obtain additional information about you from third parties such as marketers, partners, researchers, and others. We may combine information that we collect from you with information about you that we obtain from such third parties and information derived from any other subscription, product, or service we provide.

4. Online analytics and tailored advertising. 

We may use third-party web analytics services on our Online Services, such as those of Google Analytics. These service providers use the sort of technology described above to help analyze how users use our Online Services, including by noting the third-party website from which you arrive. The information (including your IP address) collected by the technology will be disclosed to or collected directly by these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of our Online Services. We also may use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described below. To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on by clicking here. 

When you use our Online Services, the Firm may serve you with ads based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you provide such as your age or gender, your searches, demographic data, user-generated content and other information that you provide to us. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and may be tailored to your interests.  

 Also, third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised via our Online Services may also place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of our Online Services in order to (i) inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our Online Services and (ii) report how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our Online Services and use of our Online Services. We may also allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics, DoubleClick and others) to serve tailored ads to you on the Online Services platforms, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access our Online Services. We also may share with third-party advertisers a hashed version of your email address, as well as content that you share publicly when using our Online Services (e.g., user-generated content) for purposes of delivering tailored advertising. We neither have access to, nor does this Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access our Online Services by non-affiliated, third-party ad technology, ad servers, ad networks or any other non-affiliated third parties. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting as described below. You may receive tailored advertising on your computer through a web browser. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out, the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link or TRUSTe’s Advertising Choices Page to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs.

To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into our Online Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out of tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms. 

When using a mobile application, you may also receive tailored in-application advertisements. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements. For any other devices and/or operating systems, please visit the privacy settings for the applicable device or contact the applicable platform operator. The Firm also may use a third-party vendor to deliver advertisements on mobile applications or for mobile application analytics.
