General Statement of Privacy
Amy K. Harris PLC respects the privacy of its members and of those who visit the Site (www.amyharrislaw.com). By accessing the Site, you are consenting to the information collection and use practices described in this privacy policy.
Subject to the provisions of applicable laws, any information you submit to the Amy K. Harris PLC will not be used in any manner to which you have not consented.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") includes, but is not limited to your name and e-mail address. A user's PII is collected through the contact us and/or other forms.
It is the Amy K. Harris PLC's policy not to collect Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") about you on the Site without your knowledge or action. You should be aware that if you disclose any information on an open forum that is hosted by Amy K. Harris PLC, others may collect that information to send you unsolicited information from outside Amy K. Harris PLC, or for other purposes.
Except as otherwise described in this statement, the PII you provide on the Site will not be shared outside of Amy K. Harris PLC without your permission.
Use of Personally Identifiable Information
It is our general policy not to make PII available to anyone other than our employees, staff, and agents. We will never sell your e-mail address or other PII. The PII you supply us with will be used to provide you with more effective customer service, improve the Site and other Amy K. Harris PLC offerings, and provide you with relevant information. If Amy K. Harris PLC contracts a third party to act on our behalf, such as a website hosting or public relations company, we will only provide them with as much information as needed to provide services and will require they comport with the restrictions of our privacy policy.
Amy K. Harris PLC may disclose personal information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on Amy K. Harris PLC or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Amy K. Harris PLC or (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of Amy K. Harris PLC employees or agents, users of Amy K. Harris PLC products or services, or members of the public.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information
Non-PII includes, but is not limited to, information we automatically collect on your use and/or actions on our Site (e.g., user traffic patterns, page views on the Site, click-through rates, search terms that users enter into our search utility). In addition, when a visitor arrives at our site, we collect the IP address, operating system, and browser software used. An IP address (which is not the same as an e-mail address) can tell us the user's internet service provider and, based on that, can suggest the geographic location of the connection. Amy K. Harris PLC recognizes that certain user information of key demographic nature (e.g., race, age, national origin, income), while Non-PII, is still of a sensitive nature to users.
As a general matter, the Amy K. Harris PLC does not collect demographic information about you through regular use of the Site. However, in recognition of the sensitive nature of such information, in the event that Amy K. Harris PLC comes into possession of such information, whether through your voluntary submission of such information in response to a special feature on the Site or by receiving such information from any of our business partners, such information shall, when coupled with any of your PII, itself be deemed to be PII and treated by Amy K. Harris PLC as such.
Use of Non-Personally Identifiable Information
As a general matter, Non-PII helps us determine how the Site is being used, helps us identify popular areas of the Site, and helps determine the effectiveness of our promotional activities regarding the Site. In the course of collecting, non-PII may be shared with third parties.

Do Not Track
Amy K. Harris PLC respects user choice and controls. To the extent possible, the Site responds to Do Not Track ("DNT") signals communicated by your browser.
