2. USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
Law Bulletin Media's intent in collecting personally identifiable information is to provide users with an improved experience on its websites.

Law Bulletin Media may conduct research based on its users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to Law Bulletin Media during user registration, as well as on order forms, during promotions, through surveys, and from its server log files. This information is used to better serve its users. Anonymous aggregated information, which is statistical information that may be compiled from personally identifiable information but which is not personally identifiable itself, may be shared with advertisers or other businesses. Under a confidentiality agreement, Law Bulletin Media also may share information with third parties in service of Law Bulletin Media.
Unless Law Bulletin Media provides specific notice prior to collecting particular information (such as, for example, prior to a survey), Law Bulletin Media will not provide users' personally identifiable information to any third party, except that it may provide or publish information in the aggregate.
Law Bulletin Media also reserves the right to send you offers about its services and those of its affiliates. If you do not wish to receive these offers, please contact Customer Care to request removal from this list.
