The Site may contain integration with social networks and other platforms (“Social Media Features”). For example, the Site may contain links that direct users to our social networking pages (such as LinkedIn). If you click on the social networking buttons, you will be taken to those third parties, and your use of those third parties’ websites and platforms is subject to their privacy policies and practices. Note that through the Social Media Features, these third parties may be able to collect certain information about your visits to the Site regardless of whether or not you affirmatively interact with the Social Media Features and whether or not you are logged into (or have) an account with the third-party platform.
If you choose to post information to a third-party platform, that information may be public, and the third party may have access to information about you and your use of the Site. You may also choose to participate in a way that connects that third-party service with the Site, such as posting to one of our pages on a social media site. Doing so may allow us to collect (or the third party to share) information about you, including Personal Information, and the third party may allow us to re-post content related to us on our own services. If others give us access to their profile, page, or other content on a third-party platform, we may also receive information about you if it is accessible through that content as determined by the third-party platform or your connected user. We are not responsible for the privacy or business practices of any third party.
The Site may contain content that is served by a third party or links to third-party content or InfoLawGroup content that is hosted on third party websites or applications. InfoLawGroup does not control this content or these third-party sites. The third-party operators and content providers use their own cookies or other tracking technologies, and they may independently collect data from or about you. InfoLawGroup is not responsible for the privacy or business practices of any third party.
We use commercially reasonable security measures to help secure your Personal Information. However, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We therefore cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, or that we transmit to you, and you use the Site and provide us with information at your own initiative and risk.
Some Internet browsers may be configured to send “Do Not Track” signals to the online services that you visit. These features are not all uniform and there is no consensus among industry participants as to what “Do Not Track” means in this context. The Site may not alter its practices when it receives a “Do Not Track” signal from a visitor’s browser, except as specifically required by law. To find out more about “Do Not Track,” please visit http://www.allaboutdnt.com.

By using the Site or providing us with any information, you fully understand and unambiguously consent to this transfer to, and processing, usage, sharing, and storage of your information in the United States and other jurisdictions, which may have different or less protective privacy laws than those in your country.
