WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY
The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you about how we handle and protect the personal information that we obtain through this website. By using this website, you are acknowledging your consent to our privacy practices as described below. If you disagree with anything you read, please exit this website immediately. For information on Paradigm IP's privacy practices with respect to client files, please contact us.
Personal Information
There are two main categories of information that we can obtain through your use of our website. The first is personal information, which is defined as information that identifies you as an individual, such as your home address and home phone number (your business contact information, such as your work address, work phone number and position, is not considered to be personal information). The second category is anonymous information, which is information that does not identify you as an individual. Examples of anonymous information that can be collected through a website include your IP address, the internet browser you are using, the length of time you spend on a website and the specific pages you view. The main objective of online privacy practices is to safeguard the personal information that is gathered when you visit a website.
Our Collection of Your Personal Information
The only time we collect your personal information is when you send us an email through the email links on certain pages of our website, specifically our contact page, our bio pages and our terms of use and privacy policy pages. The personal information we collect is only what is provided to us in your email, for example, your name, email address, any details you write in the body of the email. There are no other points on the website at which we collect personal information.
We also collect anonymous information about your use of our website in order to track trends and preferences and make improvements to the content and marketing of our website. However, we use this anonymous information on an aggregate and statistical basis only. We do not disclose the anonymous information we collect to third parties, and we do not use it to gain personal information about our users.
Our Use and Disclosure of Your Personal Information
We use the personal information you provide in your email to reply to your questions or comments. We may also use your personal information for our internal business and marketing strategies. We do not disclose your personal information to any third parties, unless we are required to do so by a valid court order.
Security and Access
We use technological and procedural safeguards to protect the personal information we store on our computers. We continually implement the latest security software and systems and use internal passwords to protect the personal information we store on our computers. The only people with authorized access to your personal information are the employees of Paradigm IP and only on a need-to-know basis.
Withdrawing Your Consent
By sending us an email, you are consenting to our collection, use and disclosure of the personal information contained in your email. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, at which time we will immediately remove your personal information from our records.
