privacy policy

 

 

This Privacy Policy describes the information that Vitruvian Law, LLC (hereafter "Vitruvian Law" or “Vitruvian” or “Us”) collects through its website (the "Website"), and how Vitruvian Law uses that information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to Vitruvian’s collection of information by any other means, including without limitation from its clients in the course of representing them. Each time you ("You" or "Your") use the Website, the then-current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, each time You visit the Website, You should check the date appearing at the end of this Privacy Policy. If that date is later than the date of Your last visit, You should review any changes to this Privacy Policy. IF AT ANY TIME YOU FIND THIS PRIVACY POLICY UNACCEPTABLE, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE WEBSITE. Unless Vitruvian obtains Your express consent, any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected by Us after such time as the revised Privacy Policy takes effect.

 

1.  Information Collection

 

a. Personal Information. You need not provide Vitruvian with personally identifying information (e.g., name, telephone number, email address, city and/or state of residence) as a condition of using the Website. However, Your failure to provide certain personally identifying information when asked will prevent certain features of the Website from functioning, or will prevent Vitruvian from effectively responding to certain of Your requests. The Website will collect only that personally identifying information that You affirmatively provide in response to a direct request. 

 

b. Non-Personal Information. Vitruvian Law uses Cookies to collect non-personally identifying information in connection with the Website. A Cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a user's computer, and that the user's browser provides to the website each time the user submits a query to the website. The purpose of any Cookie placed on Your computer will be to identify You as a unique user of the Website. Vitruvian does not use either Cookies to personally identify users of the Website. In addition, Vitruvian uses common tools to automatically gather information of the sort that Web browsers automatically make available, such as the user's: (i) IP addresses; (ii) domain servers; and (iii) computer and Web browser type (collectively "Traffic Data").

Vitruvian reserves the right to disclose Your personally identifying information under the following circumstances:

(1) when required to do so by law;

b. Traffic Data and Information Gathered Using Cookies. Vitruvian Law analyzes Traffic Data and information gathered using Cookies to help Us better understand who is using the Website and how they are using it.

3. Business Transfers; Bankruptcy 

 

Vitruvian Law reserves the right to transfer Your personally identifying information to a successor organization in the event of a merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of Vitruvian’s assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the use and disclosure of all transferred personally identifying information will be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if You are given notice of that new privacy policy and an opportunity to affirmatively opt-out of it. Personally identifying information submitted or collected after a transfer may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by Vitruvian’s successor organization.
