Questions About the Policy

Fisher & Phillips LLP (the “Firm” or “we”) has developed this privacy policy out of respect for the privacy of our clients and visitors to our website. This policy describes the personal information we collect, use, and disclose about individuals who visit or interact with this website, visit any of our offices or locations, request or receive our legal services, contract with us to provide services, or otherwise interact or conduct business with us.

When you visit our website, we collect certain information automatically through your use and navigation of the site, and additional information that you voluntarily provide when you complete forms, subscribe to our Insights or marketing communications, request information about our services, or use any of the other interactive features of our website.

When you receive an email from us, we may use tracking technologies to gather certain information about your interaction with the email.

We use this information to help us understand how our emails are received and used, so we can improve content, deliverability, and relevance.

This tracking is done automatically using a small, often invisible image (sometimes called a “tracking pixel”) embedded in the email or similar methods.

If you prefer not to have this information tracked, you may disable automatic image loading in your email client or use settings/tools that block tracking pixels. Additionally, unsubscribing from our email list will stop further emails (and thus tracking) from us.

We do NOT and will not sell or share your Personal Information in exchange for monetary consideration. However, we may sell or share some of your information to third parties for other valuable consideration, as noted in the table above.

We may sell or share your Personal Information for the following business or commercial purposes:

1. Marketing Purposes
2. Data Analytics Purposes

Other than these exceptions, we do not and will not disclose your Personal Information to any third party in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration or share your Personal Information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Depending on the state where you reside, you may have the right to tell us NOT to sell or share your Personal Information. You have the full and free right to opt-out of our disclosure of your Personal Information to any third parties where the disclosure constitutes “selling” or “sharing” as defined by specific state laws. You may exercise your right to opt-out without fear of discrimination for doing so. To opt-out of our selling and sharing of your information, meaning we will not disclose your information to third parties for any monetary or other valuable consideration, you can do any of the following:  Click HERE to be taken to an online opt-out submission form. Visit our website at: https://www.fisherphillips.com. Click on “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” to be taken to an online submission form.

• You can use a Global Privacy Controls (GPC) signal. Fisher & Phillips will process opt-out preferences from GPC signals, which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header, as requests to opt-out of sale or sharing. The GPC signal opt-out will only apply to the browser you are using on your device; it will not apply to other browsers and/or devices to which GPCs are not activated or to offline sales.
• If you are unable to submit an opt-out through any of the above methods, please call our toll-free privacy line at 1-800-243-1292 for assistance and a representative will assist in meeting your needs.

You can have an authorized agent submit a request on your behalf. To submit an opt-out through use of an authorized agent, you must provide that agent with written permission signed by you to submit an opt-out on your behalf, except when using an opt-out preference signal. The authorized agent may call our toll-free privacy line at 1-800-243-1292 to make the opt-out request and for directions for submitting the proof of authorization and the authorized agent’s proof of identification to the Firm. We maintain the right to deny any request from an authorized agent that does not submit sufficient proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

A request to opt-out need not be a verifiable consumer request. However, we may deny a request to opt-out if we have a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief that a request to opt-out is fraudulent. If we deny your request to opt-out, we shall inform you of our decision not to comply and provide an explanation as to why we believe the request is fraudulent.

Opt-out preference signals provide consumers with a simple and easy-to-use method by which to exercise the right to opt-out of the selling and sharing of their information. Global Privacy Controls (GPC) or Universal Opt-Out Mechanism (UOOM) are user-enabled opt-out preference signals which can communicate a user’s “Do Not Sell or Share” request on behalf of the person or device. We will process opt-out preferences from GPC and UOOM signals which are in formats commonly used and recognized by businesses, such as an HTTP field header. We will treat a consumer’s use of GPCs or UOOMs as a valid request to opt-out of the selling and sharing of information for that browser. We currently do not connect browser use to particular consumers and, as such, you will need to use GPCs or UOOMs on all browsers in which you access our website and use our opt-out form to opt-out of offline sales.

Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference that users can set if they do not want web services to collect information about their online activity. We do not respond to DNT signals or other mechanisms (with the exception of GPCs and UOOMs) that provide a choice regarding the collection of Personal Information about activities over time and across different websites or online services. We encourage users who have DNTs to use GPCs or UOOMs.

We do not use or disclose your sensitive Personal Information for purposes that give rise to a right to limit the use and disclosure of your Sensitive Personal Information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt out of targeted advertising and selling of your data. You may submit a request to exercise this right by submitting a request through one of the two options provided in the “Submitting a Consumer Request” section below.

We may create a profile regarding your interests and preferences for our services including your potential to purchase a service. For job applicants or independent contractors, we may create a profile regarding predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes for recruiting and hiring assessments and decisions. Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to opt out of profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Under the applicable U.S. Privacy Laws, depending on state of residence, Consumers may have the following rights, which can be exercised directly or, in certain cases, through an authorized agent:

You can submit any of the above types of consumer requests through either of the options below:

1. Submit an online request on our website by clicking HERE (for U.S.) and HERE (for non-U.S.).
2. Call our privacy toll-free line at 1-800-243-1292.

How We Will Verify That It Is Really You Submitting the Request:

When you submit a Right to Know, Right to Access, Right to Delete, or Right to Correct request through one of the methods provided above, we will need to confirm your state of residence to determine which rights apply and then we will need to verify your identity.

We will ask you to provide some information in order to verify your identity and respond to your request. Specifically, we will ask you to verify information that can be used to link your identity to particular records in our possession, which depends on the nature of your relationship and interaction with us. This process may require us to request additional Personal Information from you, including, but not limited to, your first name, last name, email address, phone number, state/province of residence, and/or country. During verification, we will only request the minimum Personal Information necessary to correctly identify you for the purpose of fulfilling your request.

In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the rights described above, particularly where these rights are not available in your state, or when we are unable to verify your identity or locate your information in our systems. If we are unable to comply with all or a portion of your request, we will explain the reasons for declining to comply with your request.

Designated Authorized Agent:

You may, depending on your state of residence, have the right to designate an authorized agent to submit one of the above requests on your behalf. To do so, you must either (a) execute a valid, verifiable, and notarized power of attorney or (b) provide other written, signed authorization that we can then verify. We maintain the right to deny any request from an authorized agent that does not submit sufficient proof that they have been authorized by you to act on your behalf.

We will retain each category of Personal Information in accordance with our established data retention policy and practice. In deciding how long to retain each category of Personal Information that we collect, we consider many criteria, including but not limited to the business purposes for which the Personal Information was collected; relevant federal, state and local recordkeeping laws; applicable statute of limitations for claims to which the information may be relevant; and legal preservation of evidence obligations.

We apply our data retention procedures on an annual basis to determine if the business purposes for collecting the Personal Information, and legal reasons for retaining the Personal Information, have both expired. If so, we will purge the information in a secure manner.

From time to time, we may enter an arrangement with another company that is not owned by or affiliated with us to provide additional features on the Website. These arrangements may include business partners, sponsors, and co-branded online services (referred to here as “co-branded services”). Any information, including Personal Information, that you provide on one of these co-branded services may be shared with these partners. By participating in activities or providing your information on these co-branded services, you consent to our providing your information to those partners. Separate privacy policies may apply to these partners’ uses of your Personal Information.

We may use other companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf. Examples include administering e-mail services and running special promotions. Such parties only have access to the Personal Information needed to perform these functions and may not use or store the information for any other purpose.

In the event we sell or transfer a particular portion of its business assets, information of consumers, contractors and applicants may be one of the business assets transferred as part of the transaction. If substantially all of our assets are acquired, information of consumers, contractors and applicants may be transferred as part of the acquisition.

As part of our commitment to providing efficient and high-quality legal services, the Firm may, when appropriate, use a variety of artificial intelligence technologies (“AI”) to assist with tasks that support the delivery of our legal services. These tools may help improve efficiency, accuracy, and overall quality when processing information provided by users or clients.

When you interact with our website or provide information to the Firm, that information may, where appropriate, be processed using AI tools under the Firm’s direction. The Firm applies its data protection, confidentiality, and information management standards to the data provided to, processed by, or generated through AI and uses such tools in a manner designed to protect client confidentiality and comply with applicable professional and legal obligations.

We may disclose specific personal and/or Sensitive Personal Information based on a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary to comply with or conform to the law or that such disclosure is necessary to protect our employees or the public.
