Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy discloses the privacy practices for the Chima Law website.  The Chima Law firm is committed to protecting your privacy online.  Please read the information below to learn the following regarding your use of this website.

You acknowledge that this Privacy Policy is part of our website’s Terms of Use, and by accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by all of its terms and conditions.  If you do not agree to these terms, please do not access or use this website.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time.  Your continued use of the website after such modifications will constitute your: (a) acknowledgment of the modified Privacy Policy and (b) agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Privacy Policy.

What information do we collect from you?

In order to better provide you with our numerous services, we may collect two types of information about our users: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information.  Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our website.

Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are.  When you engage in certain activities on this website, such as submitting content through email, we may ask you to provide certain information about yourself.  It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities.  If you elect to engage in these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address (including zip code), e-mail address, employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile numbers, and other personal identifying information.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual.  We may gather certain information about you based upon where you visit on our website in several ways.  This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis.  This information may include the website's Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that you just came from, which URL you go to next, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol (IP) address.  

An URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.  An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network, such as the World Wide Web.  Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination.  In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer.  Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet.

Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you voluntarily provide it to us.  You provide certain Personally Identifiable Information to us when you send e-mail messages, submit forms or transmit other information by telephone or letter.  We may also collect information from you at other points on our site that state that such information is being collected.

In addition, we may also collect, or our third-party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information.  This information is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs.

 We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our site and to gather demographic information.  We will also use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the operation of our site, fill orders, improve our marketing and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site use, improve our product and service offerings, and customize our site's content, layout, and services.

We may use Personally Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and to contact you regarding administrative notices.  We may also use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you, including our Site Terms of Use, Sales Terms and Conditions, and this Private Policy.

With whom do we share your information?

We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others.  Occasionally we may be required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information to the appropriate governmental authorities, however, we will only disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation.  We fully cooperate with law enforcement agencies in identifying those who use our services for illegal activities.  We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
