We may collect IP addresses and/or click-stream data for purposes of system administration, to understand how our visitors use our Website. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. When you request Web pages from the Website, our computers log your IP address.
We also collect click-stream data when you request pages from the Website. Click-stream data may include such information as the page served, the time, the source of the request, the type of browser making the request, the preceding page view and other such non-personal information.

We use this information to update our Website and ensure that we are meeting the needs of our visitors.
Cookies. Our Website may use cookies, web beacons and similar tracking technologies. These technologies are widely used for security, to learn about and improve upon how users navigate a website or to enable certain features. Cookies are small data files that are transferred to your hard drive when your browser settings permit the acceptance of cookies. Similar technologies, such as web beacons or pixel tags function through the use of small files, such as a GIF or PNG, which are opened on a page or in an email. The request for these files from a server reveals certain information, such as your browser type, IP address, and other information. To learn more about cookies and similar tracking technologies, and how they can affect your privacy, visit allaboutcookies.org.
By tracking how and when you use our Website, these technologies help us determine which features and content on our Website are most important to our visitors. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, you can turn off cookies using your browser’s settings menu; however, this may eliminate our ability to provide you with some of the features or functionality you would otherwise experience on our Website. Most modern browsers also include a “do not track” feature that may help protect your privacy. However, because there is not yet a defined response to do-not-track requests, our Website does not respond to your browser’s do-not-track request.

How do we use Personal Information?
In all cases, we will only use Personal Information collected from you only as necessary to provide the information or services you have requested (for example, to respond to your inquiry or process your subscription to one of our newsletters or blogs or to mail a publication to you). We may also use your information for the following purposes:
- To inform you about our services, new legal and policy developments, relevant information in the industries we serve, and our marketing events.
- To evaluate you as a candidate for employment with our firm.

With whom may we share your Personal Information?
We may share Personal Information with employees and contractors of our Firm, with third parties who provide certain services on our behalf, with selected third party organizations with whom we may collaborate on various activities or events, or in the other circumstances noted below. For example, we may share certain Personal Information we collect with third parties such as providers of data hosting or processing services, email services, or other service providers (for example if we have a third party send notification of firm publications, news or events we think may be of interest to you).
We may also share Personal Information we possess in the event our Firm undergoes a corporate transaction, such as a merger with another firm, or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our Firm, or a dissolution of our Firm. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, we may share Personal Information if we need to protect the interests of the Firm, our clients, property, or the public.
Similarly, we may share Personal Information with governmental authorities or otherwise in response to a legal request that we believe requires us to do so, for example, in connection with a criminal investigation or other legal requests from civil or administrative authorities in connection with a pending civil case or administrative investigation. Legal requests include, for example, search warrants, subpoenas, and other court orders.
We may also receive legal requests or orders from jurisdictions outside the United States, in which case by using our Website you consent for your Personal Information to be transferred to the applicable country.
Third party sites and services
