Collection of Your Personal Information

The Sites collect personal data to power the Firm’s Sites’ analytics, including, information about your browser, network, and device, web pages you visited prior to coming to the Sites, and your IP address. This information may also include details about your use of the Sites, including clicks, internal links, pages visited, scrolling, searches, and timestamps.

Most of the Sites do not require any form of registration with the Firm, allowing you to visit the Sites without telling the Firm who you are. However, some services, such as email opt-ins, may require you to provide the Firm with personal data. When you submit information via webform on www.mccurdylaud.com, the Firm collects the data requested in the webform in order to track and respond to your submission. The Firm shares this information with Squarespace, so that Squarespace can provide website services to the Firm. The Firm also shares this information with Clio, the Firm’s customer management system, for storage and with Google, the Firm’s email provider.

When you schedule an appointment by using the Firm’s online appointment booker, the Firm collects personal information from you to complete the booking. The Firm may collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, and details relating to your appointment (for example, the name of an adverse party). The Firm shares this information with Squarespace, the Firm’s scheduling service provider, so that Squarespace can provide online booking services to the Firm.

You may choose to proceed without providing any personal data requested by the Firm, but it may not be possible for you to gain access to certain parts of the Sites or content.
