This Privacy Policy describes how Progress LLP collects, uses and discloses certain personal information obtained through our Site.
The Progress LLP website (“the Site”) provides information about the legal services we offer and/or other general information and resources. The content of this Site does not convey legal, accounting, tax, career or other professional advice of any kind. Your use of this Site does not create a lawyer-client relationship between you and the Firm, nor will any information you submit to us via this Site or by electronic mail be considered a lawyer-client communication or otherwise be treated as confidential or privileged in the absence of a pre-existing express agreement by us to the contrary.
What Information We Collect and Maintain About You
Should a user create a username and password on the Site, we may also collect and store their email address. A user may also submit an email address to receive Progress LLP publications and event information. In addition, like many websites, we gather certain information about our Site traffic for administrative and analytical purposes. This information may include visitors’ Internet protocol addresses, browser types, referring and exit pages, operating systems or dates/times of page views. We use this information, which does not identify any individual person, to administer and guide changes to the Site, and to gather aggregated demographic information about the Site’s user base. We do not link this automatically collected data to personally identifying information.
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to administer services and to improve the Site. Our primary use of personal information is to respond to requests for information, to promote the smooth and efficient administration of the Site, and to provide you with information that may be of interest to you or your business. We provide this information to you through the Site, by e-mail or by postal mail. We may combine your personally identifying information with those of all or a particular group of Site users to prepare collective profiles of Site users and their interests or behaviors. If you have opted into receiving communications from the firm, we may provide you with marketing information we think would be of particular interest. We will give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing communications.
With Whom We Share Your Information
We use various third parties to operate the Site, including, for example, our providers of professional, consulting, marketing, communications and business development services. We may disclose personally identifiable information to such entities as needed for them to perform their specific tasks under our instructions, subject to this policy. In particular, all information collected and maintained by the Site is managed by and may be accessed by employees and/or contractors of website hosts that we may engage in connection with the Site. In addition, we may disclose information that you expressly authorize; as required by law or when we believe that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a judicial proceeding or to comply with a court order, law or regulation applicable to us or the Site; as we reasonably determine to be necessary to protect our property or assert our legal rights; or as we reasonably determine to be necessary to protect the property or safety of any other person. We may assemble collective, non-individually identifiable profiles of Site users and their activities and interests, which may be disclosed to third parties in our discretion.
