Privacy policy
Scope
Your privacy is important to us. In this Privacy Policy, you can learn what kind of information we collect, when and how we might use that information, how we protect the information, who has access to it, and how you can review it and correct any inaccuracies.
This Privacy Policy only applies to information collected online from the users of the Attorney Jobs website. This Privacy Policy doesn't apply to any other Thomson website and, unless expressly mentioned here, this Privacy Policy doesn't apply to information we may collect in any other way, including offline.
Our website may contain links to sites maintained by others. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites, and we encourage you to use caution when visiting them. If you have any questions about the privacy practices associated with those sites, please review the privacy policy posted on each site.The Attorney Jobs website is intended solely for attorneys looking for jobs and for employers interested in hiring attorneys.
How We Collect and Use Information
We collect information about our users in three ways: directly from the user, from our Web server logs, and through cookies. We use the information primarily to provide you with a personalized Internet experience that delivers the information, resources, and services that are most relevant and helpful to you. We don't share any of the information you provide with others, unless we say so in this Privacy Policy.
User-Supplied Information: When you register for our services, we require you to provide certain personal information, such as your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. We enter this information into our customer data base, where it is used to service your account, to provide you with the products and services you request, and to inform you of products or services we think may interest you. We also ask for credit card information, which we use to charge you for our services.
Through our site, you have the option to establish search agents that send you e-mails with new job listings. In order to identify the right jobs, we ask you to specify the search criteria. We will only use this information to locate jobs that may interest you. Of course, we can't guarantee the security of the e-mails we send to you. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, and the content of those e-mails may be visible to others. We strongly recommend that you do not provide us with your work e-mail address. If you give us your work e-mail address, your current employer may also be able to read the e-mails we send you.
If you use our Legal Advice or Career Counseling services, you may send us e-mails with questions or information that you consider confidential. Again, we can't guarantee the security of e-mails sent over the Internet. We'll only use the information you send us to respond to your questions or provide you with legal career counseling, but you transmit such information at your own risk.
If you contact us for technical support or other customer support services, either by e-mail or by telephone, we may ask you to provide information about your computer or about the issues you are trying to resolve. This information is necessary to help us answer your questions. We may record your requests and our responses for future reference and for quality control purposes.
Web server logs: When you visit our website, we may track information about your visit and store that information in web server logs, which are records of the activities on our sites. Our servers automatically capture and save the information electronically. Examples of the information we may collect include:
your unique Internet protocol address;
the name of your unique Internet service provider;
the kind of browser or computer you use;
the number of links you click within the site;
the date and time of your visit;
the web page from which you arrived to our site;
the pages you viewed on the site; and
any searches that you conducted.
The information we collect in web server logs helps us administer the site and analyze its usage. We use it for quality control purposes, to assist you with any problems you may have, or when legally required.
Cookies: In order to offer and provide a customized and personal service, we may use cookies to store and help track information about you. Cookies are simply small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We may use cookies to help remind us who you are, to deliver content and services based on your account information, and to help you navigate our sites during your visits. Cookies allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so you won't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
The use of cookies is relatively standard and are used on most major websites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to either notify you when you receive a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. You should understand that some features of many sites may not function properly if you don't accept cookies.
How We Protect Your Information
We have implemented commercially reasonable security measures to help protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. We store the information about you in a data center with restricted access and constant monitoring and we use a variety of technical security measures to secure your data. For example, when you register for our services, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. In addition, we use sophisticated intrusion detection and virus protection software. However, we can't guarantee that unauthorized persons will always be unable to defeat our security measures.
Who Has Access to the Information?
The data you provide will be stored and processed in the United States. We never sell, rent, or lease mailing lists or other customer data to others, and we don't make your personal information available to any unaffiliated third parties except as follows:
to agents and contractors who use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with us (for example, we may use third parties to verify the charge card information you provide us or to help us with promotion campaigns); and
required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy, as needed in connection with the transfer of our business assets (for example, if we are acquired by another company or if we are liquidated during bankruptcy proceedings), or if we believe in good faith that sharing the data is necessary to protect our rights or property.
We rely on some of our affiliates for support of the products and services we offer, and we share some of our back-office functions with other Thomson companies. On occasion, we may also share customer data with our affiliates for their product development needs or to offer you products that we think may interest you. Our affiliates are all required to preserve the confidentiality of any personal information they may access.
We don't disclose any information about our subscribers' usage to unaffiliated third parties, except as necessary to service the account, to enforce the terms of our subscriber agreements, to meet our obligations to content and technology providers, or as required by law.
We may use statistics regarding usage for product development purposes, but we only use those statistics in the aggregate and they don't include any personally identifiable information about individual users.Your access to some of our services and content is password protected. We recommend that you refrain from disclosing your password to anyone. We'll never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. We also recommend that you sign out of your account or service at the end of each session. You may also wish to close your browser window when you have finished your work, especially if you share a computer with someone else or if you are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe. This is to ensure that others can't access your personal information and correspondence.
If you want to change your password, click on Forgot Password. You will be prompted to enter in your username, e-mail address, and the answer to your security question prior to entering a new password.
View and Correct Your Information
You may at any time ask to view the personal information that we have collected about you. Just contact us by sending us an email. To ensure your privacy, we'll ask for information verifying your identity. The information you provide will be used only to verify your identity and will be destroyed when the process is complete.
We are committed to maintaining the accuracy of all information we collect. We'll confirm and correct any inaccuracy that is brought to our attention. If you discover an inaccuracy, please send us an email.
Opt-out Rights
You may cancel your registration with us at any time. Please follow the instructions on the contact us page. If you don't want to receive information about our products or services, please send us an email, or call the phone number on the contact us page. If you cancel your registration, your Attorney Jobs subscription will not be renewed at the end of your current subscription term, and your subscription fee for that term will not be pro-rated.

If our information practices change in a significant way, we'll post the policy changes.
