This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the JCW@EastBayTaxLawyer.com (herein after referred to as “Our Web site”)

Our Web site contains links to other Web sites operated by third parties.  Jonathan C. Watts, Esq. is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third party web sites and this Notice does not apply to those Web sites.

Application of This Notice:

This Notice applies only to the information collected by Jonathan C. Watts, Esq. from the users of our Web site. It does not apply to information collected by Jonathan C. Watts in any other way, including offline.

The Information We Collect:

Our Web site is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable information from each visitor to our Web site. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not email addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web site. This information is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.

Our Web site does track certain information about the visits to our Web site. For example, we compile statistics that show the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Web site and its individual pages. These aggregated statistics are used internally to improve our Web site and for product development and marketing purposes generally. Those aggregated statistics may also be provided to advertisers and other third parties, but again, the statistics contain no personal information and cannot be used to gather such information.

In a few areas on our Web site, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain information, materials and services available from our Web site, or to enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with customer service or technical support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit, or to otherwise support your customer relationship with Jonathan C. Watts, Esq. It is completely optional for you to participate. However, failure to participate may mean that you cannot access and use certain information, materials and services.

Log on to certain areas of our Web site, where you may be prompted to provide us with your ID number and password as a condition to gaining access to certain information, materials or services

Subscribe to a newsletter or desire to be added to our mailing lists;

Provide feedback in an online survey.

In each of the instances above, we typically ask for your name, email address, phone number, address, law practice information, product preference information, ID number and password, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain information, materials and services. In the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to “unsubscribe” to these mailings at any time.
