C&M LAWYERS Privacy Statement

Welcome to the C&M Lawyers Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Statement sets out C&M Lawyers’ policy relating to its collection, use, disclosure and handling of your personal information.

You must agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy before using the C&M Lawyers website. By accepting this Privacy Policy and your use of the C&M Lawyers website, you expressly consent to our collection, use, disclosure, and handling of your personal information in the matter described in this Privacy Policy.

C&M Lawyers understands that your personal information is very important to you and that appropriate steps should be taken to ensure that the collection, use, disclosure, and handling of your personal information are done responsibly. We want to make your experience with our firm as enjoyable and as rewarding as possible.

C&M Lawyers has created this Privacy Policy to demonstrate our firm’s commitment to your privacy and security of your personal information.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

Collection and Use of Information

During the ordinary course of our business, we may ask you to provide us with certain personal information depending on the nature of the legal advice being sought and to better meet your legal needs.

Generally, we may hold personal information about you including but not limited to your name, date of birth, occupation, address, email address, telephone number, medical information and financial circumstances.

If you choose not to provide us with any or all of your personal information as requested, then we may not be able to provide legal advice and representation for you as our client.

C&M Lawyers may share personal information with select persons or entities such as experts and government instrumentalities, in order to prepare legal advice and gather information sometimes of a personal nature and in matters involving legal proceedings in various jurisdictions for our clients.

As a general proposition, C&M Lawyers will not sell, rent or willingly supply any personally identifiable information about you to any third party other than as disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

Special Cases

Whilst C&M Lawyers will ensure that all necessary steps are taken to ensure that your personal information is protected from abuse, we cannot guarantee that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information provided to C&M Lawyers will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

For example, we may be forced to disclose your personal information to the government or third parties under certain circumstances, or third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications.

We can (and you authorize us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or
appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us to legal liability.

C&M Lawyers’ Commitment to Children's Privacy

Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to us. It is our policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, 1998 and other applicable laws. You must be 18 to use the Services. C&M Lawyers does not attempt to ask or collect information from any person under the age of 18 except through a guardian.

C&M Lawyers may have products and services and legal issues which involve children and must be under the direct supervision of an adult.

C&M Lawyers recommends that children ask a parent for permission before sending any personal information to us.

C&M Lawyers’ Commitment to Data Security

C&M Lawyers has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. While we make every effort to ensure the integrity and security of our network and systems, we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party “hackers” from illegally obtaining this information.
