  In order to achieve the benefits of the LegalLync service, there are some situations in which personal information may be disclosed to third parties. These are:

  • Service related disclosure: This Web site is designed to disclose certain limited information to connect attorneys with the people who need them. The users have full control over when and to whom personally identifying information is disclosed. Our service is designed specifically to keep initial exchanges of information between clients and attorneys anonymous. The limited information we disclose is described below.

  • When a user posts a description of his or her legal matter, that information is reviewed only by attorneys, LegalLync members or potential members and LegalLync staff. The information is anonymous, meaning that the user's personally identifying information is kept hidden unless the user chooses to provide it. If the user chose to provide personally identifying information, it will only be released to LegalLync members and staff. If LegalLync does not currently have member attorneys in the user's area, the user may be asked to release case and personally identifying information to our affiliates who have interested attorneys.

  • When an attorney responds to a posted matter, the response, the name and the contact information of the responding attorney is seen only by the specific client.

  • The name of the user posting a rating and commentary for any attorney on this system may be released to that attorney, at the attorney's request, for the purpose of replying to the rating.

  • The name of the user notifying us that an attorney-client relationship was formed after using our service may be released to that attorney for the purpose of verifying the relationship.

  • Information regarding whether an attorney-client relationship was formed will be used only for our internal records and statistics. We will not disclose this information to other parties, unless we are required to do so by law.

  • Except for the information referred to above, user's contact information (i.e. address, telephone, fax, or email) is never revealed to attorneys or other users. User's name and contact information may be revealed to LegalLync sponsors if you elect to have the sponsor contact you. You will have the opportunity to review the sponsor's privacy policy before selecting to share your information with the sponsor.

  • Marketing Related Disclosure. If you are an attorney member, we may use any information, including personally identifiable information, contained in your LegalLync profile and ratings in our ongoing marketing efforts to help develop and focus your practice. If you find our use of your identifiable information in association with our marketing efforts objectionable, you can opt out of future use by contacting us with your objections at [email protected].

  • Affiliate Relationship Related Disclosure.
