We collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. The IP address data that we collect does not contain any personally identifiable information about you, and is used to administer our site, to determine the number of different visitors to the site, and to gather demographic data. However, when you submit information via this website, that information becomes identifiable and is kept on record as having come from your IP address. This information may be used to identify you on subsequent visits to this site and other sites associated with it, and to personalize your user experience.  The non-personally identifiable data that this website collects is accessible by certain firm personnel, as well as certain third-party website designers and personnel involved with any third-party service that hosts our website. We use all non-personally identifiable data that we collect internally, and together with our website designer and host in order to improve the Oxton Law's website. The information is used, for example, to evaluate what portions of our site are more popular than others, to determine where visitors to the site are located, and to determine how many times or how often particular pages of our site are accessed. We may use this data to prepare reports regarding website activity as part of the process of maintaining and improving our website.

WHAT STEPS DO WE TAKE TO PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY? To the extent permitted by law, we will not sell, share or otherwise disclose any of the information collected online without your express permission.

WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN'S PRIVACY?  We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from any children under age 13.  Regardless of your location, this website collects information and processes and stores that information in databases located in the United States of America. Due to the frequency with which internet technology evolves, we may occasionally update this privacy policy. All revisions will be posted here on our website. We therefore urge you to review its Privacy Policy frequently.

Anti-Spam Policy: We have a strict policy against spamming. We forbid the sending of unsolicited bulk emails or emails of any kind in connection with the marketing of our websites or our attorneys. Our definition of spamming is any activity whereby email messages are transmitted --directly or indirectly-- to any email address that has not solicited such communications and does not consent to receiving such communications. In addition, we consider it spamming to post ads in newsgroups in violation of the rules of that newsgroup, in posts that are off-topic, or in groups that do not explicitly permit such ads. This goes for the placement of ads on message boards, forums and chat rooms against the terms of participation of such sites.
