Domain Information

T McKee Law may collect domain information when you use the Sites, such as by our web servers and third-party analytics tools, to enable us to analyze how our visitors use the Sites. This data enables us to become more familiar with which people visit our Sites, how often they visit, and what parts of the Sites they visit most often. We use this information to improve our web-based offerings. This information is collected automatically and requires no action on your part.

As part of the domain information, our system may record certain information about visitors to our Sites, including such information as your browser type, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, mobile device identifiers, browser information, interaction with the Sites, pages viewed, and similar information.  We also may collect information from emails you receive from us that can help us track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. We may, from time to time, retain third parties to help us collect and aggregate personal information from users of the Sites.

Use of Cookies and Tracking User Traffic

Some pages on this site may use “cookies”—small files that the site places on your hard drive for identification purposes. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID to track the pages visited, but the only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself. These files are used for site registration and customization the next time you visit us.

Some parts of the site may also use cookies to track user traffic patterns. T McKee Law does this in order to determine the usefulness of our Web site information to our users and to see how effective our navigational structure is in helping users reach that information. Please note that cookies cannot read data off of your hard drive. Your Web browser may allow you to be notified when you are receiving a cookie, giving you the choice to accept it or not. If you prefer not to receive cookies while browsing our Web site, you can set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies and refuse the cookie when your browser alerts you to its presence. You can also refuse all cookies by turning them off in your browser. By not accepting cookies, some pages may not fully function and you may not be able to access certain information on this site.

 Information Sharing and Disclosure

Your personal information is never shared outside the firm without your permission, except under conditions listed below:

• Consenting to share your information to a third-party service provider working on our behalf to serve you.

• Requiring us to provide you with a product or service.

T McKee Law will also disclose your personal information, if required to do so by law, or in urgent circumstances, to protect personal safety, the public or our sites.

 Internet Security

T McKee Law strives to protect your personal information and uses commercially reasonable means to do so. No method of transmission over the Internet, or method for storing data, is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee or warrant that our security measures will prevent unauthorized access to your data. Any transmission of your information is at your own risk. By using the Sites, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

 State-specific rights

Residents of certain countries and states within the United States may have certain rights with respect to personal information. T McKee Law does not have offices in any of those locations and is not currently subject to those laws. We do, however, comply with applicable ethical rules regarding the practice of law as they relate to confidential information received from clients. If you would like to make a request regarding your personal information, please contact us through the “Contact” tab on the Sites.

 Geographic Limitation

The Sites are controlled, operated and administered entirely within the United States. Your information, including personal information, may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. The Sites are intended only for residents of the United States. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Information, to the United States for processing.

 Sensitive Personal Information

When you use, access, or otherwise interact with the Sites, we ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive personal information (for example, Social Security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background, trade union membership, precise geolocation or information regarding minors). If you nonetheless choose to send or disclose any sensitive personal information to us, you consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to our processing and use of such sensitive personal information, you must not submit such content through the Sites.

 Protecting the Privacy of Children

Children under 13 years old are not the target audience for our Sites. To protect their privacy, the firm prohibits the solicitation of personal information from children. The Sites do not knowingly solicit or collect personally identifiable information online from minors (“Children” or “Child”) without prior verifiable parental consent. By using the Sites, you represent that you are at least 18. If you do not meet this age requirement, please do not access or use the Sites. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with personal information, please contact us through the “Contact” tab on the Sites. If we learn that a Child has submitted personal information through a Site without verification of parental consent, we will take all reasonable measures to delete such information from our servers.

This site may contain links to other sites. T McKee Law does not share your personal information with those Web sites and is not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to learn about the privacy policies of those companies.

 Changes to this Privacy Policy

T McKee Law reserves the right to change, modify or update this policy at any time without notice. Any substantial changes in the way we use your personal information will be posted on this site. You should periodically check for notices and updates to our Privacy Policy because your use of the Sites after any such updates have been made constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy, whether or not you have reviewed the updates. We will use, share, maintain and disclose personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy as it existed at the time the information was collected unless otherwise required by law or if we have obtained your consent.
