In providing legal services to our clients, Fleischner Potash LLP (“the firm”) is committed to protecting the privacy of confidential and “Personal Information” (information that directly or indirectly identifies clients, employees, lawyers, students, job applicants or others inside or outside the firm). It is, and always has been, the policy of the firm to comply with the rules of professional conduct, which impose a duty on attorneys and their associated personnel, to preserve and protect confidential client information.
This Privacy Statement (the “Statement”) is based on the privacy and data protection principles common to the jurisdictions in which we operate. We apply it in compliance with our legal obligations, to preserve client confidentiality and to effectively represent our clients within the parameters of the law. This Statement is intended to advise our clients, students, job applicants, website visitors, and other third parties about the firm’s privacy policies that may be applicable to them.
This Statement also is addressed to parties outside the firm who provide Personal Information to the firm or who visit and/or use the firm’s websites, social media sites, applications, extranets and email messages (collectively, the “Internet Services”). Moreover, this Statement details the manner in which the firm collects, processes and discloses Personal Information in connection with the provisions of legal and Internet Services.
