Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us. At LegalMind, we have a few fundamental principles:

• We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
• We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
• We aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control what information you give us is shared publicly (or kept private), indexed by search engines, and permanently deleted.
• We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.
• We take the privacy and confidentiality of your work seriously and aim to make sure only the people who see your work are people who you want to see it.

Below is our Privacy Policy, which incorporates and clarifies these principles.

• 1. Who are we and what this policy covers?

  We are the people behind LegalMind that delivers a variety of services designed to allow the legal industry take full advantage of the power and promise of the technological advancements. This Privacy Policy applies to information that we collect about you when you use our website and any other service that is offered by LegalMind.

  Also, our website contains links to websites operated by third parties. If you’d like to use such third party websites, please keep in mind that when you interact with them you may provide information about yourself to those third parties.

  We don’t own or control these third parties and they have their own rules about collection, use and sharing of information. LegalMind will not be responsible for privacy practices or policies of such third party websites. Please check with those sites to determine their privacy policy.

  Throughout this Privacy Policy we’ll refer to our website, web app and other products and services collectively as “Services.” Below we explain how we collect, use, and share information about you, along with the choices that you have with respect to that information. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us.

• 2. Information we collect:

  We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so– for example, to provide our Services, to communicate with you, or to make our Services better. We collect information in two ways: if and when you provide information to us, and automatically through operating our services. Let’s go over the information that we collect:

  • 2.1 Information you provide to us:

    • Basic Account Information:

      We ask for basic information from you in order to set up your account. For example, we require individuals who sign up for a LegalMind.tech account to provide a username and email address–and that’s it. You may provide us with more information–like your name–but we don’t require that information to create your account.

    • Transaction and Billing Information:

      If you buy a subscription to a LegalMind's plan you will provide additional personal and payment information that is required to process the transaction and your payment, such as your name, credit/debit card information, and contact information.

    • Communications with Us:

      You may also provide us information when you respond to surveys, communicate with our engineers about a support question. When you communicate with us via form, email, phone, or otherwise, we store a copy of our communications as permitted by applicable law.

  • 2.2 Information we collect automatically:

    We also collect some information automatically:

    • Log Information: Like most online service providers, we collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, IP address, unique device identifiers, language preference, the date and time of access, operating system, and mobile network information. We collect log information when you use our Services–for example, when you are navigating on our website.
    • Usage Information: We collect information about your usage of our Services. For example, we collect information about the actions that users perform on a site–in other words, who did what, when and to what thing on a site (e.g., [legalmind.tech username] deleted “[title of user]” at [time/date]). We also collect information about what happens when you use our Services (e.g., page views, searches, button clicks) along with information about your device (e.g., name of cellular network, and mobile device manufacturer). We use this information to, for example, provide our Services to you, as well as get insights on how people use our Services, so we can make our Services better.
    • Location Information: We may determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to, for example, calculate how many people visit our Services from certain geographic regions.
    • Information from Cookies & Other Technologies:A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pixel tags (also called web beacons) are small blocks of code placed on websites and e-mails. LegalMind uses cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help us identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services, as well as track and understand e-mail campaign effectiveness and to deliver targeted ads.

• 3. How we use information?

  We use information about you as mentioned above and as follows:

  • To provide our Services–for example, to set up and maintain your account, or charge you for any of our paid Services;
  • To further develop our Services–for example by adding new features that we think our users will enjoy or will help them to be more efficient and productive;
  • To monitor and analyze trends and better understand how users interact with our Services, which helps us improve our Services and make them easier to use;
  • To monitor and protect the security of our Services, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities, fight spam, and protect the rights and property of LegalMind;
  • To communicate with you about offers and promotions offered by LegalMind and others we think will be of interest to you, solicit your feedback, or keep you up to date on LegalMind and our products.

• 4. Sharing Information

  We do not sell our users’ private personal information. We share information about you in the limited circumstances spelled out below and with appropriate safeguards on your privacy:

  • As Required by Law: We may disclose information about you in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request
  • With Your Consent:We may share and disclose information with your consent or at your direction. For example, we may share your information with third parties with which you authorize us to do so
  • Published Support Requests:And if you send us a request (for example, via a support email or one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish that request in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company, or in the unlikely event that LegalMind goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would likely be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. If any of these events were to happen, this Privacy Policy would continue to apply to your information and the party receiving your information may continue to use your information, but only consistent with this Privacy Policy.
  • Third Party Vendors:We may share information about you with third party vendors who need to know information about you in order to provide their services to us. This group includes vendors that help us provide our Services to you (like payment providers that process your credit and debit card information) and those that help us understand and enhance our Services (like analytics providers). We require vendors to agree to privacy commitments in order to share information with them.

• 5. Security

  While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so.

• 6. Choices

  You have several choices available when it comes to information about you:

  • Limit the Information that You Provide: If you have an account with us, you can choose not to provide any optional account information, profile information, and transaction and billing information. Please keep in mind that if you do not provide this information, certain features of our Services may not be accessible.
  • Opt-Out of Electronic Communications: You may opt out of receiving promotional messages from us. Just follow the instructions in those messages. If you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send you other messages, like those about your account and legal notices.
  • Set Your Browser to Reject Cookies: At this time, LegalMind does not respond to “do not track” signals across all of our Services. However, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies before using LegalMind’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of LegalMind’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

• 7. Other things you should know(Keep Reading)

  • 7.1 Third Party Software and Websites

You should review their rules and policies when installing and using third party software.
