When we have your consent, Loeb & Loeb uses the information we collect to:

Respond to your inquiries: When you email us or submit a request for information through our website, we use your contact details to respond to those requests.

Send you alerts, newsletters and other promotional messages: When you sign-up to receive our newsletters and other alerts, we use your contact information to send you these communications. If you’ve indicated an interest in an area of law, practice group or event, we may also send you information relevant to these interests. You can opt-out receiving messages from us using the unsubscribe link in any email you receive.

Confirm your registration for seminars or other events: When you sign up to attend an event we are hosting, we will use your contact information to confirm your registration, send you reminders about the event and other relevant event details.

We also use your information for the following legitimate business interests:

To comply with our legal obligations: We use your information to comply with our legal obligations including to detect and prevent fraud on the website and to enforce our terms of use and other policies.

To send you service announcements or other administrative messages. We use your information to send you administrative or transactional messages regarding your use of the website or your relationship with Loeb & Loeb.

To improve the website. We use your information to better understand how we can make the website and our communications with you more relevant and informative.

Our vendors. We share your information with vendors that work with us and provide services on our behalf. For example, companies we hire to help us maintain the website, manage our mailing lists, and provide marketing assistance and data analysis may need your information in order to provide those services. Loeb & Loeb requires these vendors to comply with our data privacy and security requirements, and we prohibit those companies from using the personal information they receive from us for any other purpose.

Other law firms as part of a merger, acquisition or other corporate transaction. As Loeb & Loeb develops, we may acquire other law firms or their assets or be acquired by or merge with another law firm. Personal information is generally one of the business assets involved in such transactions. Thus, in the unlikely event that Loeb & Loeb or all of its assets are acquired through such a transaction, your information would be one of the transferred assets.

State bar associations. When you register for a webinar that includes CLE credit, we will share your name and bar number in connection with an application for that credit. 

Law enforcement. We will share your personal information when we have a good faith belief that doing so is required by law or is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other visitors, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities.

We will also share your information with third parties when you ask or provide consent for us to do so.
