APRIL 2022

This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for any and all websites (“Website”) operated by or under the control of Legal Updates Publishing Company.  “We” shall refer to Legal Updates Publishing Company.  This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this Website.  It will notify you of the following:

  1. What personally identifiable information is collected from you through the Website, how it is used and with whom it may be shared.
  2. What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data.
  3. The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.
  4. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

Information Collection, Use, and Sharing

We are the sole owners of the information collected on this Website about you and your use of the Website.  We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via registration, email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.

We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization, other than as necessary to fulfill your request, e.g. to ship an order.

Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this Privacy Policy.

Your Access to and Control Over Information

You may opt out of any future contacts from us at any time. You can do the following at any time by contacting us via the email address or phone number that was provided by you on our Website:

  • See what data we have about you, if any.
  • Change/correct any data we have about you.
  • Have us delete any data we have about you.
  • Express any concern you have about our use of your data.

Security

We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the Website, your information is and will be protected both online and offline.

Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as credit card data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for "https" at the beginning of the address of the Web page.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.

If you feel that we are not abiding by this Privacy Policy, you should contact us immediately via telephone at the contact phone number on the contact page of the Website or via email. 

Registration

In order to use this Website, a user must first complete the registration form. During registration a user is required to give certain information (such as name and email address). This information is used to contact you about the products and/or services on our Website in which you have expressed interest.  At your option, you may also provide demographic information (such as gender or age) about yourself, but this information is not required to use the Website.

We request information from you on our order form. To subscribe to a premium membership, you must provide contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill your orders. If we have trouble processing an order, we'll use this information to contact you.

Cookies

We use "cookies" on this Website to help give you the best experience and to allow us to customize the marketing content you see across the Website and social media.  A cookie is a piece of data stored on your hard drive to help us improve your access to our Website and identify repeat visitors to our Website.  For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our Website.  Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Website. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our Website.

Some of our business partners may use cookies on our Website (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.

Sharing 

We may share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers. This demographic information is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person.

We use an outside shipping company to ship orders, and a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond fulfilling your order.

We may partner with other parties to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names and/or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services. 

Links

This Website contains links to other websites.  Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other websites.  We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our Website and to read the privacy policies of any other website that collects personally identifiable information.

Surveys & Contests

From time-to-time our Website requests information via surveys or contests.  Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information.  Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this Website.

California Privacy Rights

 

This section is provided pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) and other applicable California privacy laws. This section applies solely to our users who are California residents as defined under applicable California privacy laws.

Within the last twelve (12) months, we have or may have collected the following categories of information from our users and/or consumers:  (1) identifiers, such as a name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, IP address, email address, account name, Social Security number, driver's license number, or other similar identifiers; (2) characteristics of protected classifications under California or federal law; (3) commercial information, such as records of personal property, products or services purchased, obtained, or considered, or other purchasing or consuming histories or tendencies; (4) internet or other similar network activity, such as browsing history, search history, information regarding your interaction with a website, application, or advertisement; (5) geolocation data; and (6) professional or employment-related information.

We do not sell the personal information of consumers that we know are minors under 16 years of age without affirmative authorization as required under the CCPA.

As of January 1, 2020, California residents, as defined under applicable California privacy laws, may take advantage of the following rights:

  1. You may request, up to two (2) times each year, that we disclose to you, once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, the: (i) categories and specific pieces of personal information that we have collected about you; (ii) categories of sources from which your personal information is collected; (iii) business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; (iv) categories of personal information that we disclosed for a business purpose; (v) categories of personal information that we sold about you; (vi) categories of third-parties with whom we have shared your personal information; and (vii) business or commercial purpose for selling your personal information.
  2. Subject to certain exceptions and up to two (2) times each year, you may request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you. Once we receive and confirmed your verifiable consumer request for deletion, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) such personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

To exercise the access and deletion rights described above, please submit a request to us by sending an email to privacy@legalupdates.com.

You will be asked to provide certain identifying information, such as your name, email, and residency. You will also be asked to validate your request by clicking a validation link in an email that will be sent to the email address you provided. While processing your request, we may ask you to provide further verifying documentation, such as proof of residency and identity. We will only use personal information provided in a request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

Your request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or that you have authority to make the request; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

Only you may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.

We may deny your request to opt-out if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request is fraudulent.
