Effective Date: [Insert date of publication]
Thank you for using our Services. Your privacy is very important to us, and it is our intent to comply with any applicable law regarding the personal information we collect about you. This Privacy Policy explains our processing of the personal data collected through [Insert URL] (the “Site”) and our related mobile application(s) (the “App(s)” together with the Site, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. The Services are provided by Jayaram Law Group, and we are a data controller. We are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy so you can navigate and use the Services safely.
This Privacy Policy discloses what information we collect about you, how we gather it, how we use and share it, and what rights you have. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time, so we recommend that you read it periodically. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into our Terms which, together with this Privacy Policy, govern your use of the Services. We want to make this Privacy Policy as clear as possible. If, however, you have any questions, comments, or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please send us an email at [email].
Some jurisdictions may provide for additional privacy rights and disclosures to their residents or relevant data subjects that may apply to you in certain circumstances. Otherwise, if you wish to exercise your rights and choices, please see the “Your Choices and Rights” section or if you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us as set out in the “Contact Us” section below.
As a user of our Services or a visitor to our Site, you must accept this Privacy Policy. If you do not consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy, do not access the Site or use the Services. By using the Services or accessing our Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy and to our processing of Personal Information as described in this Policy.
Some of the information we collect about you identifies you. If it identifies you, we call it “Personal Information.” Personal Information does not include any information that is publicly available or information that has been anonymized to the point where a specific individual or household cannot be identified from the remaining information. If we associate non-identifiable information with information that identifies you, we will treat it as Personal Information.
We only collect and use your Personal Information when we have a legitimate reason for doing so. We only collect Personal Information that is reasonably necessary to provide our Services to you and for the purposes set forth in this Policy. The information we collect can come from information you provide, information we collect through automated means, and information we collect from other sources.
We may also use these technologies to collect information regarding your interaction with email messages, such as whether you have opened, clicked on, or forwarded a message.
We expressly disclaim any and all liability for the actions of third parties. The privacy practices of any third parties are outside the scope of this Privacy Policy and their use or disclosure of your information (including your Personal Information) are governed by their own privacy practices.
Be aware that certain Personal Information and other information in connection with your use of the Services may be stored on your device (even if we do not collect that information). You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your device from unauthorized access.
Because we utilize advertising networks, you may see certain ads on other websites. Ad networks track your online activities over time by collecting information through use of cookies, web beacons, and other technologies. We use ad networks that combine information collected through our App with information collected from third-party sites that also take part in the relevant ad network. This information includes, for instance, the pages or advertisements you view and how you use the websites. This information helps us deliver advertisements that are targeted towards you based on your interests, other information related to you, and contextual means. Ad networks may also use this information to help their other customers deliver advertisements that are targeted towards you on those third-party sites. We request your separate consent before we use or disclose your information for targeted advertising purposes.
The companies we work with to provide you with targeted ads are required to give you the choice to opt out of receiving targeted ads. Most of these companies are participants of the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”) and/or the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”). To learn more about the targeted ads provided by these companies, and how to opt out of receiving certain targeted ads from them, please visit: (i) for website targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/choices ; (ii) for app targeted ads from DAA participants, https://www.aboutads.info/appchoices ; and (iii) for targeted ads from NAI participants, https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out only means that the selected participants should no longer deliver certain targeted ads to you, but does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content and/or ads (e.g., in connection with the participants’ other customers or from other technology services). If you choose to opt out, you will continue to receive advertisements, but they will not be tailored to your interests.
Google also provides tools to allow you to opt out of the use of certain information collected by Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and by Google Analytics for Display Advertising or the Google Display Network at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
Please note that if you opt out using any of these methods, the opt-out will only apply to the specific browser or device from which you opt out. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any opt out options or programs, or the accuracy of any third-party statements regarding their opt-out options or programs.
Depending on the type and version of the operating system of your mobile device, you may also be asked whether to enable targeted advertising. You may also limit our use of information collected from or about your mobile device for purposes of serving targeted ads to you by going to your device settings and selecting “Limit Ad Tracking” (for iOS devices) or “Opt out of Interest-Based Ads” (for Android devices).
Marketing Communications and Commercial Email Opt-Out. When you create an account with us, unless you opt-out, we will use your email address to deliver digital communications from us or our advertisers or sponsors.

If you opt-out of receiving commercial emails from us or otherwise modify the nature or frequency of promotional communications you receive from us, it may take up to ten business days for us to process your request, and you may receive promotional communications from us that you have opted-out from during that period. Additionally, even after you opt-out from receiving commercial messages from us, you will continue to receive administrative messages from us regarding the Services.

Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies.
“Cookies” are alphanumeric identifiers that are stored on a computer, browser, laptop, tablet, mobile phone, or other device (each, a “Device”), which collect information about your activity, browser, and Device. A “web beacon” (sometimes referred to as pixels and tags) is a small object or image that is embedded into a web page, application, or email, and is used to track activity.
We may use both session (for the duration of your visit) and persistent (for the duration of a fixed period of time) cookies and tracking technologies. A cookie does not provide us with access to your computer or to Personal Information beyond what you provide to us.
Some cookies are necessary to use the Services, and these cannot be disabled. Other cookies are not required to use our Services and may be disabled or deleted, but this may prevent you from properly using the Services. Most browsers allow you to adjust your cookie settings.
We may use cookies to collect information about the areas within our Services that you view, your access times and frequency of your visits, your IP address, and the URL that has referred you to our Services. This helps us identify users, track behavior on the Services, keep the Services secure, and improve the Services’ performance. We may also use this data to help us understand our users and to shape our marketing.
How Your Information is Secured.
We follow generally accepted industry standards, including the use of appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, to protect the Personal Information submitted to us. For example, when you enter Personal Information, we encrypt the transmission of that information or use secure connections.
Despite efforts to protect your Personal Information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and there is always some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way around our security systems or that transmissions of your information over the internet may be intercepted.
If we learn of a security system breach, then we may attempt to notify you so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may post a notice through the Services if a security breach occurs. Depending on where you live, you may have a legal right to receive notice of a security breach in writing, and we will follow all applicable laws.

See “Your Choices and Rights” for more information on how you can remove your Personal Information.
Even though you may make changes or request deletion of your Personal Information, we may retain all information for backups, archiving, prevention of fraud and abuse, analytics, satisfaction of legal obligations, or where we otherwise reasonably believe that we have a legitimate reason to do so.
