This Privacy Policy sets forth the policies of Weinberg Zareh Malkin Price LLP (collectively, “WZMP,” “we,” “us” or “our”) with respect to collection and use of personal information. “Personal information,” as used in this Privacy Policy, means information that identifies, or directly relates to identifiable, individuals.
As a provider of legal services, WZMP is committed to protecting the confidentiality and integrity of your personal information. WZMP maintains appropriate technical and security arrangements in order to keep your personal information confidential and protect it against the loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration, in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time by giving notice and posting the updated Privacy Policy here. We recommend and encourage you to review our website periodically for the latest version of our Privacy Policy.
By using our website (and any mobile application or version of this website, collectively, the “Site”), you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, or, at any time, to any future version of this Privacy Policy, you must discontinue your use of the Site.
WZMP may collect personal information about you directly from you or another person acting on your behalf, including as may be provided by you through the Site. We will also collect personal information about you if it relates to your instructions, transactions between you and us, and the services that we provide to you, your employer or another business or entity associated with you.
You may browse areas of the Site that do not require entry of log-in credentials without actively entering personal information. However, certain information may be provided to WZMP automatically by your web browser or application when entering or utilizing the Site, including, as examples: IP addresses, other devices identifiers, browser types, operating systems access dates and times, and referring and exiting URLs.
Certain areas and services on the Site may ask you to provide personal information, including through completion of forms on various pages of the Site. This may include providing personal information in order to register for WZMP client alerts or events (such as your name or contact information), or to apply for career opportunities with WZMP (such as your prior employment, education or other background information).
We may also, in some circumstances, receive personal information about you from third parties, such as our service providers, regulatory or law enforcement agencies, and agencies conducting background checks. Personal information may also be obtained from publicly accessible sources of information, such as public databases, industry associations, social media and online professional networks.
The categories of personal information we may collect will depend on the nature of our relationship with you or the services we provide, and the purpose for which information is being collected. Such personal data may include names, residential addresses or other contact details, signature, nationality, date and place of birth, social security, national insurance or other tax identification number, photographs, copies of identification documents, bank account details, information about assets or net worth, credit history, criminal and administrative offences, source of funds details, education, or, in some cases, other sensitive information, such as certain special categories of personal data (e.g., information about health, political affiliations, or religious or philosophical beliefs) contained in relevant documents or materials.
We may use your personal information where we are permitted to do so under applicable law, including for any of the following purposes:
To contact you, establish and administer the relationship between us;
To provide legal services to you, your employer or another business or entity associated with you, and administer the matters on which we are instructed by our clients;
To contact you about legal updates, seminars or events or WZMP developments and announcements that we believe may be of interest to you;
Monitoring and analyzing our activities; and
Complying with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, including rules of professional conduct, anti-money laundering and sanctions regimes.
WZMP will use one of the permitted grounds under the applicable law to process your personal information. Such grounds include instances where you have given your consent and cases where your consent is not required under applicable law, such as whereWZMP is required to comply with a legal obligation, or where WZMP, or a third party acting on our behalf, determines that it is necessary for our legitimate interests to collect and use your information.
The legitimate interests to collect your personal information may include any of the purposes identified above and any other purpose where WZMP, or a third party acting on our behalf, have determined that you have a reasonable expectation for WZMP or a third party, on our behalf, to collect or use your personal information for such purpose.
A refusal to provide WZMP with personal information may, depending on the purpose for which your personal information is required, have various consequences, such as WZMP being unable to communicate with you, or provide our services to you. If your personal information is necessary for WZMP to carry out our anti-money laundering checks, failure to provide such information may result in the firm not being able to provide the representation. If WZMP has a reasonable suspicion of illegal activity, we may be required, under applicable law, to make a report to regulatory or enforcement agencies.
WZMP does not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from children under the age of 13. If WZMP is made aware that it has collected personal information from a child under 13 years old in a manner that is inconsistent with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, WZMP will delete this information as soon as possible.
We will only disclose your personal information outside WZMP in limited circumstances. Such circumstances include disclosures to our agents or service providers acting on our behalf and at our direction (“processors”), or where we believe disclosure is necessary to provide a service which you have requested, or as otherwise authorized or directed by you. Where we transfer, or give access to, your personal information to our processors, we ensure that such processors have committed themselves to appropriate confidentiality and information security obligations.
Subject to compliance with the applicable law and our professional obligations, we may share your personal information with:
Our affiliates and offices;
Any person to whom WZMP has a right or obligation to disclose your personal information under applicable law, or any person where WZMP determines that disclosure is necessary to protect or defend our rights or property, including with regulators, courts of law, governmental, regulatory or law enforcement agencies;
Our internet, IT, telecommunications and other relevant service providers, or law firm ranking agencies;
Any person, as directed by you; or
Any person to whom WZMP transfers any of our rights or obligations under any agreement, or in connection with a sale, merger or consolidation of our business or other transfer of our assets, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or who is otherwise deemed to be our successor or transferee.
WZMP maintains appropriate technical and organizational security procedures in order to keep your personal information confidential and protect it against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure or alteration, in accordance with applicable data protection and privacy laws.
WZMP will generally keep information about you for as long as necessary in relation to the purpose for which it was collected, as set forth in this Privacy Policy, or for such longer period if required under applicable law, or necessary for the purposes of WZMP’S other legitimate interests.
