Major, Lindsey & Africa Privacy Notice
Effective January 4, 2001

Our Commitment To Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our home page and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

This notice applies to all information collected from or submitted to the following MAJOR, LINDSEY & AFRICA ("MLA") Web sites, but to make this notice easier to read we will refer here only to "our Web Site", meaning either MLASearch.com or MLAGlobal.com. Other MAJOR, LINDSEY & AFRICA Web sites may operate under their own privacy notices.

Our Web Site contains links to other Web Sites operated by third parties. MAJOR, LINDSEY & AFRICA is not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of such third party Web Sites.

The Information We Collect

Our Web Site is not set up to automatically collect personally identifiable information from each visitor to our Web Site. It does recognize the home server of visitors, but not e-mail addresses. For example, we can tell which Internet Service Provider our visitors use, but not the names, addresses or other information about our visitors that would allow us to identify the particular visitors to our Web Site. This information is used only for internal purposes by our technical support staff.

In a few areas on our Web Site, we ask you to provide information that will enable us to verify whether you are entitled to access and use certain information, materials and services available from our Web Site, or to enable us to enhance your site visit, to assist you with technical support issues, or to follow up with you after your visit, or to otherwise support your relationship with MLA. It is completely optional for you to participate. However, failure to participate may mean that you cannot access and use certain information, materials and services.

For example, we request information from you when you:

  1. Log-on to certain areas of our Web Site where you may be prompted to provide us with your MAJOR, LINDSEY & AFRICA® ID number and password as a condition to gaining access to certain information, materials or services
  2. Register or sign-up to use a service.
  3. Subscribe to a newsletter or desire to be added to our mailing lists for other reasons
  4. Participate in other promotional offers.
  5. Provide feedback in an online survey.

In each of the instances above, we typically ask for your name, e-mail address, phone number, address, law practice information, MAJOR, LINDSEY & AFRICA ID number and password, as well as other similar personal information that is needed to register or subscribe you to services or offers. On occasion, we may ask for additional information to enable us to provide you with access to and use of certain information, materials and services. In the case of newsletters or mailing lists, you will be able to "unsubscribe" to these mailings at any time.

How We Use Information:

MLA only uses your personal information for specific purposes.

The personal information you provide to us when using our Web Site, such as your name, postal or e-mail address or telephone number will be kept confidential and used to support your customer relationship with MLA, and to notify you of special offers, updated information and new services from MLA, or offers from third parties that we think may be of interest to you. Agents or contractors of MLA who are given access to your personal information will be required to keep

MLA may enhance or merge your information collected at its Web Site with data from third parties for purposes of marketing products or services to you.

With respect to network advertising companies (companies that manage and provide advertising for numerous unrelated companies), to the extent that MLA utilizes such advertising companies to provide advertisements on our Web Site, MLA may provide them with your log-in name and any demographic information about you that we collect. Those advertising companies may combine that data with non-personally identifiable data collected by the advertising

Circumstances may arise where we are required to disclose your personal information to third parties for purposes other than to support your relationship with MLA, such as in connection with a corporate divestiture or dissolution where we sell all or a portion of our business or assets (including our associated customer lists containing your personal information), or if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings.

You can opt out of receiving further marketing from MLA at any time

We will send you information about our services, or other products and services we feel may be of interest to you. Only MLA (or agents or contractors working on behalf of MLA and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information. Or, at any time you can easily opt out of receiving further marketing from MLA by emailing us at WebHelp@MLAGlobal.com

Our Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
