This Privacy Policy describes the personally identifiable information that Heisler & Associates (“we,” “us”) collects through our website and how we use that information. Please note that this Privacy Policy applies solely to our online information-gathering and dissemination practices in connection with the website, and does not apply to any of our practices conducted offline or outside of the State of California. If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy or our practices regarding your personally identifiable information, please contact us at forinfo@heislerlaw.com.

The Information That We Collect
We may collect two types of information:
(1) Personally Identifiable Information: we may collect any personally identifiable information that you supply if and when you contact us through this website. If you contact us by email through this website, we may keep a record of your contact information and correspondence. This includes your name, company/affiliation, email address, the subject of your email, and what you write as a question or comment.
(2) Non-personally identifiable information: we may use cookies to collect non-personally identifiable information in connection with the website. Our web pages may incorporate “pixel tags”, “web beacons”, or similar tracking technologies (collectively, “pixel tags”) that allow us or our agents to track the actions of users of our website. Pixel tags are used to collect non-personally identifiable information, such as the name of your internet service provider, the IP address of the computer you are using, the type of browser software and operating system that you use, the date and time you access our website, the website address, if any, from which you linked directly to our site, the website address, if any, to which you travel from our site, and other similar traffic-related information. We may also aggregate your information with similar data collected from other users to help us improve our site and the services that we provide through our site. We do not use such data in any way to create or maintain a personal profile of you or collect personally identifiable information from you.
How We Use the Information We Gather
If you contact us through this website, we reserve the right to use your email address, and any information that you provide to us in your message, to respond thereto. Generally, we will not disclose personally identifiable information that we collect through your use of the site to unaffiliated third parties. We reserve the right, however, to provide such information to our employees, contractors, agents, and designees to the extent necessary to enable them to perform certain site-related services (e.g., web hosting, improve site-related services and features, or maintenance services) on our behalf. We also reserve the right to disclose such information to any third party if we believe that we are required to do so for any or all of the following reasons: (i) by law; (ii) to comply with legal processes or governmental requests; (iii) to prevent, investigate, detect, or prosecute criminal offenses or attacks on the technical integrity of the site or our network; and/or (iv) to protect the rights, property, or safety of Heisler & Associates and its affiliates, their partners, and employees, the users of the site, or the public.
