The Policy is designed to tell you how Courtroom Insight collects and uses personal information (as defined below). Please read this statement before using the Site or submitting any personal information to Courtroom Insight. This website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. By using the Site, you represent that you are 18 years old or older and you consent to the information collection and use practices described herein. Courtroom Insight reserves the right to change this Policy at any time by posting a revised Policy on the Site and indicating on the Policy the date it was last updated.

Courtroom Insight encourages you to review this Policy whenever you visit the Site to determine if any changes have been made and to make sure that you understand how any personal information you provide will be used.

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

As used herein, the term "personal information" means information that we collect via the Site that specifically identifies an individual (such as user's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card or other account number) or that is associated with an identifiable person (such as demographic information or information about a person's activities when such information is linked to personally identifying information). However, personal information does not cover, any publicly available information and public records about expert witnesses, litigation consultants, service providers, judges, arbitrators or mediators ("Service Provider"), including information obtained from bar associations, courts, and websites that are available to the public. Personal information also does not include "aggregate" information, which is data the Company collects about the use of the Site or categories of Site users, from which any personal information has been removed. Courtroom Insight collects aggregate data for a number of purposes, including to help understand trends and user needs so that the Company can better consider new publications, products and services, and tailor existing publications, products and services to user desires. This policy in no way limits or restricts the Company's collection or use of aggregate information. We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health and genetic and biometric data). Nor do we collect any information about criminal convictions and offences.

Personal information may be collected in a number of ways when you visit the Site or use the various services and activities available on the Site. At several places on the Site, Courtroom Insight may collect certain information you voluntarily provide to the Company which may contain personal information. For example, if you register for the Site, send Courtroom Insight an email, recommend a Service Provider, or submit reviews of Service Providers, the Company may collect your name, address, phone number, email address, and other personal, professional, demographic and business information that you provide.

Courtroom Insight uses this information for purposes such as analyzing trends, administering the Site, improving customer service, diagnosing problems with our servers, tracking user movement, and gathering broad demographic information for aggregate use. Courtroom Insight may also automatically collect certain information through the use of "cookies." Cookies are small data files that are stored on a user's hard drive at the request of a Web site to enable the site to recognize users who have previously visited them and retain certain information such as customer preferences and history.

WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION DOES COURTROOM INSIGHT SHARE WITH THIRD PARTIES?

Courtroom Insight does not sell, share, or rent any personal information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Policy without first obtaining your consent, although the Company may provide aggregate information or other nonpersonal information to third parties without your authorization. The Company may share your contact information with third parties if you have indicated that you wish to receive information from such parties and may share information you have provided to Courtroom Insight that is made publicly available on the Site (e.g., your profile information) to parties with which Courtroom Insight has a commercial relationship. In the event that Courtroom Insight engages or partners with third party vendors, consultants or other service providers in connection with the operation of the Site and our business ("Third Party Vendors"), the Company may share personal information with such Third Party Vendors who need access to such information to carry out their work for the Company. For example, Courtroom Insight may use credit card processing or verification service companies to verify credit card information. In addition, the Company may offer various features through a Third Party Vendor. When you use these services, you are providing information directly to the provider of these services, and the provision of such information is subject to such party's own privacy policy. Courtroom Insight is not responsible for any information you provide to these parties directly, and the Company encourages you to become familiar with their practices before disclosing information directly to such third parties with which you come into contact.

You should also note that personal information that you post to public areas of the Site, may become publicly available. For example, information you post in your Profile or in Service Provider and resource reviews, blogs or any other interactive areas, or other information that is provided for the purpose of being shared may be made publicly available and can potentially be viewed by anyone. Your posting to such public areas of the Site constitutes your consent to share such information publicly.

WHAT STEPS DOES COURTROOM INSIGHT TAKE TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION ONLINE?

Courtroom Insight endeavors to secure your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure by putting into place physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard the information collected through this Site.

Additionally, your account information is accessible online only through the use of a password. Please be aware, however, that despite Courtroom Insight's efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable. To protect the confidentiality of your personal information, you must keep your password confidential and not disclose it to any other person. You are responsible for all uses of the Site by any person using your password. Please advise Courtroom Insight immediately by emailing the Company at customercare@courtroominsight.com if you believe your password has been misused. You should also note that email is not secure, and you should not send any confidential or sensitive information to Courtroom Insight via an unsecured email.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE REGARDING THE USE OF YOUR INFORMATION?

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
