4) Information Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your Personal Information. To make the Site and Service work, we may need to share your personal information with other users, third parties, and service providers. This section explains when and why we share your information.
All Personal Information Except Attorney-Client Communications
4.1) General Disclosure Practices
We may disclose your information in connection with our business operations and the provision of the Site and Service.
- Your Public Contributions will be available to anyone who is able to access that content, including other users of the Site or Service. We (as well as others with access to the information over whom we may not have any influence or control) may collect, store, and use this information in any way.
- We work with third party service providers to help us run our business. These third party service providers provide services that include (without limitation) website and application development and support, payment processors and financial services providers, IT providers (including hosting providers such as Amazon Web Services and support and maintenance providers), data storage, maintenance, legal advisors and other professional services, and marketing and promotions management. To the extent it is necessary for these third party service providers to complete their contractual obligations to us, these third parties may have access to or process your information. All third party service providers that process your personal information on our behalf are contractually obligated to respect the confidentiality of such personal information. These third party service providers may be located in a jurisdiction that does not provide the same level of data protection as the jurisdiction in which you reside.
4.2) Compliance with Law, Responding to Legal Requests, and Protecting Our Rights
We may disclose your information to law enforcement, regulators, governmental authorities, courts, tax authorities, attorneys, and others for the following reasons:- if we are required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with law (including copyright law), in response to a court order, judicial or other government subpoena or warrant, or to otherwise cooperate with law or government enforcement activity;
- in our good faith belief that doing so is appropriate or necessary to take precautions against liability and/or to investigate and defend ourselves against any third party claims or allegations;
- to protect JustLaw from fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful uses or activity and to protect the security or integrity of the Service and the rights, property, or safety of JustLaw, our customers and users, or others.
Where appropriate, we may notify users about legal requests unless: (i) providing notice is prohibited by the legal process itself, by court order we receive, or by applicable law, or (ii) we believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective, create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or create or increase a risk of fraud upon JustLaw property, its users, and the Site and Service. In instances where we comply with legal requests without notice for these reasons, we will attempt to notify that user about the request after the fact where appropriate and where we determine in good faith that we are no longer prevented from doing so.
4.3) Business Transfers
We understand that information exchanged with an attorney via a private chat function is subject to heightened confidentiality concerns and it is our policy to protect this information to the fullest extent permitted by law. For this reason, JusGlobal does not and will not access, use or disclose Attorney-Client Communications except:- as required by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with law, a court order, subpoena or warrant, or otherwise to cooperate with law enforcement, regulators, governmental authorities, courts, or other authorities, in which case we may access or use your information and disclose it to law enforcement, regulators, governmental authorities, courts, tax authorities, attorneys, or other authorities;
- as necessary to investigate or defend against any claims of illegality or wrongdoing (whether those claims relate to JustLaw’s actions or to your actions when using the Site or Service), in which case we may access or use your information and disclose it to law enforcement, regulators, governmental authorities, courts, tax authorities, attorneys, or others;
- as necessary to protect the security or integrity of the Service (including in connection with any information technology issue or instance of compromised security) or the rights, property, or safety of JustLaw’s our customers and users, or others, in which case we may access or use your information and disclose it to anyone reasonably necessary to assist us with these goals, including our IT providers;
- disclosure to our hosting providers, including Amazon Web Services, in connection with their provision of data hosting services; and
- in the event JustLaw undertakes or is involved in any merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or insolvency event, then we may sell, transfer or share some or all of our assets, including your information in connection with such transaction or in contemplation of such transaction (e.g., due diligence) with or to buyers or purchasers (or potential buyers or purchasers) and their representatives.

Pursuant to the CCPA, upon making a verifiable request, California residents may:

- submit a request for deletion of Personal Information, subject to certain exceptions, including (without limitation) in the event that we may need to retain Personal Information to complete the transaction for which the Personal Information was collected, detect security incidents or protect against illegal activity, exercise free speech, comply with a legal obligation, or for lawful internal use compatible with the context in which the information was provided by you. If your request is subject to any exception, we may deny your request to delete your data. Please note that you must verify your identity and request before further action is taken by us. To do so, we will notify you of what we require via email on info@JustLaw.com
6) Security
We employ appropriate safeguards that are designed to protect the integrity and security of your information. No security measures are perfect or impenetrable, however, so we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through the Site or Service, and you do so at your own risk. We also cannot guarantee that such information may not be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed by breach of any of our safeguards. We cannot control the actions of other users or other third parties with whom you may choose to share your information and therefore we cannot and do not guarantee that information you post through the Site or Service will not be viewed by unauthorized persons. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Site or in the Service.
We retain your information for as long as it is reasonably necessary and relevant for our operations, and/or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigation, or enforce our JustLaw Terms of Use or other agreements (including the JustLaw Customer Subscription Agreement, as applicable). After removal, copies of information that you have posted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages or if other users have copied or stored such information.

7.1) Visitors from Outside the United States
The Site and Service are controlled and operated by JustLaw in the United States and JustLaw may disclose information to third party service providers that are located in any country or jurisdiction across the globe. As such, your Personal Information may be transferred, stored and processed outside of your home jurisdiction. If you access or use the Site or Service from outside the United States, including (without limitation) from member states of the European Union, you acknowledge and unambiguously consent to the transfer of your information to, and its processing and storage in, the United States and potentially other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of privacy and data protection as your home jurisdiction.
Depending on the jurisdiction in which you reside, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of certain Personal Information covered by this Privacy Policy. Depending on the jurisdiction, you may also have the right to request that we refrain from processing your Personal Information. Please bear in mind that if you exercise such rights this may affect our ability to provide our products and services. For inquiries about your Personal Information, please contact us by e-mail at info@JustLaw.com, or through any of the contact information provided below. While JustLaw will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, we also reserve the right to impose certain restrictions and requirements on such requests, if allowed or required by applicable laws.

7.2) Limitation of Liability
By accessing this Site or Service and/or otherwise providing us with Personal Information and other data, you expressly and unconditionally release and hold us harmless from any and all liability for any injuries, loss, or damage of any kind arising from or in connection with the use and/or misuse of such information. In addition, while we make efforts to ensure the proper and appropriate use of data by our service providers that may receive your information from us, we are not responsible for any injuries, loss, or damage of any kind arising from or in connection with the use and/or misuse of your information caused by those service providers.7.3) Third-Party Content
Third-party content may be linked to or otherwise incorporated into the Site or the Service. For example, we may implement or allow third party advertising or other content on the Site and within the Service that may utilize web beacons, Cookies or similar tracking technologies placed or controlled by the third-party content provider. Additionally, we may implement third party buttons (such as Facebook “like” or “share” buttons) that may allow a third party to collect information about you through their browser Cookies, even when you do not interact with the button. Information collected by a third party in this manner is subject to that third party’s own data policies. JustLaw does not control and is not responsible for the content or privacy and data protection practices of third-party websites, applications, services, goods, or advertisements that may be linked to or otherwise incorporated into the Site or Service. If you link to or otherwise interact with third-party content, you do so at your own risk. JustLaw does not endorse, recommend, or make any representations or warranties regarding websites, applications, services, goods, or advertisements that may be linked to or otherwise incorporated into the Site or Service.7.4) Do Not Track Disclosures
Third parties such as advertising networks, analytics providers, and others may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you access or use the Site or Service. Currently, various browsers offer a Do Not Track (“DNT”) option, but there is no standard for how DNT should work on commercial websites. Due to lack of such standards, the Site does not respond to Do Not Track browser settings.7.5) Children’s Data
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. For that reason, we do not allow children under 13 years of age to use the Site or Service, we do not knowingly collect or maintain information from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of the Site or Service is directed to persons under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do not use or access the Site or Service at any time or in any manner. If we learn that information has been collected through the Site or Service from persons under 13 years of age and without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete this information. If you are a parent or guardian and discover that your child under 13 years of age has obtained a JustLaw account or provided us with information, please alert us at info@JustLaw.com to request that we delete the information from our systems.
8) Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify you about material changes in the way we treat your information, including by placing a prominent notice on the Site or by sending you an email so that you can choose whether to continue using the Site or Service. Material modifications are effective 30 calendar days after our initial notification or upon your acceptance of the modified Privacy Policy.
