PRIVACY POLICY: INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

When you visit our website, we do not require you to disclose any personal information automatically. However, if you choose to ask us for certain information, register with us or notify us of a problem, we will then require specific personal information from you. By participating in these transactions, we may ask you for your name, email address, postal address, postcode, daytime and/or mobile phone number, as well as to create and/or maintain a registered user name and number/password.

By registering with us or by submitting your personal data in any other way, you consent to the collection, use and transfer of your information under the terms of this Privacy Policy. However, if at any time you have any queries or concerns about our use of your personal information, please contact us. Our full contact details are at the end of this notice.

Ivan Zartz Attorneys is committed to protecting your privacy and to ensuring that we handle any personal data with care, respect and in accordance with legal requirements. In order to do this, we have implemented a number of technical and organisational procedures, which safeguard everyone’s interests.

When you give us any personal data on or through our website, you are consenting to its capture for all or some of the following purposes:

  • To enable us to provide you with customer/technical support and a range of free resources.
  • To enable us to obtain your views about Ivan Zartz Attorneys.
  • To enable us to complete occasional market surveys or academic research, in which you would have the option to participate on a voluntary basis.
  • To enable us to mail information to you about Ivan Zartz Attorneys Services (Ivan Zartz Attorneys will give you the option to opt-in to receive Ivan Zartz Attorneys emails or mailings for marketing or informational purposes).

We do not collect information about our visitors from other sources, such as public records or private organisations, or use personal data for any purpose other than those listed above. We will always ask you when we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you. If we wish to use your personal data for a new purpose, we offer you the means to consent by indicating in a box at the point on the website where personal data is collected.

Your personal information will be used solely for the purpose of providing you with any Services you have purchased or requested; monitoring and improving the quality of our Services; or for publishing market surveys or academic research. The information you give will be used in accordance with relevant local, national and international legislation covering data protection and freedom of information.

Ivan Zartz Attorneys will not disclose the information you provide to any third party for any other purpose other than those listed above without your prior written consent, unless we feel such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to (a) comply with a court order or other legal process; (b) protect our rights or property; (c) limit our potential legal liability; (d) enforce other policies that are part of this website; or (e) comply with an audit request.

Your personal details will not be sold or traded to third parties. In the event of Ivan Zartz Attorneys going through a merger, acquisition or partial sale of its assets, users’ personal information will, in most cases, be treated as part of the assets transferred. In our case, under these circumstances you would have the right to access and/or delete your personal information (see below).

Retention and Storage of your Information

We generally keep your personal details indefinitely for the purposes that we have mentioned above. However in certain circumstances we may destroy or delete any of your personal information that we hold. Please note that our policies on privacy will be overridden where we are required or permitted to disclose personal information under law or the terms of any court order.

SECURITY

The security of your personal information is of great importance to us. Ivan Zartz Attorneys has industry standard security measures designed to protect against the loss, misuse and/or alteration of the information under its control. These include:

  • Secure computer storage facilities.
  • Use of firewalls and other measures to prevent others from accessing confidential data or accessing Ivan Zartz Attorneys’ internal networks that store confidential data.

All of our employees who have access to and are involved in the processing of personal data are required to respect the confidentiality of our visitors’ data. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure, and we therefore cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk.
