It is our policy not to disclose any personally identifiable information which may be collected on this site to any third parties without the permission of the person from whom such information is gathered, unless there are compelling reasons, such as compliance with legal process, to do so. The only contemplated uses of any information gathered on this site are to use aggregate statistics on site usage and traffic, to send e-mails relating to changes or additions to the site, to respond to queries or as a seed list for solicitation for newsletters or other projects related to this site or our legal practice. It is our hope in each such case that we will use this information to improve your experience on this site or to otherwise provide you with some benefit.

We don't like web sites that collect our e-mail address and send us lots of unsolicited e-mails, so we want to treat you as we would like to be treated. If any such contacts seems intrusive to you, you should contact me Alan H. Segal. Because this site is hosted by a third party, there may be accessibilty to information of which we are not aware by the host. Our right to change or delete any such information may be limited or non-existent, but we will make reasonable efforts to accomodate such requests. Obviously, e-mails to us may disclose much more personal information, presumably with your permission, but we, again, do not share this information with third parties without your permission, although we may use this information in the manner set forth above.

This site is not directed toward children under the age of 18. Any person under the age of 18 who wishes to provided any form of personally indentifiable information must do so only after express parental consent has been provided to us in a manner that we deem satisfactory to ensure that we in fact have the permission of the parent. No personally identifiable information about a child will ever be knowingly collected, retained or disclosed to third parties if we know that such information is from a child.
