New Jersey Lawyers Service (NJLS) has adopted a set of information management guidelines, which serve as the basis for our customer and advertiser relationships. These guidelines disclose the privacy policies for the company’s Web site. These guidelines have been developed with the recognition that Internet technologies are rapidly evolving, and that underlying business models are still not established. Accordingly, guidelines are subject to change. Any such changes will be posted on this page.

We understand the importance of privacy to our customers. We will not give or sell confidential or personal information about our customer to any third party not affiliated with their transaction, except as required by law or as necessary to provide services to the customer. Some of the information collected by NJLS are names, addresses, e-mail addresses, credit card numbers and telephone numbers, and case information. We also collect telephone numbers and e-mail addresses in the event that we have to contact the shipper, or the shipment recipient or addressee, to resolve a question or provide shipment status information.

We collect and store information about every package we handle so that we can efficiently provide the package delivery services demanded by our customers. We use information about our customers, their packages, and their shipping activity to provide or enhance the services we make available to our customers, communicate with our customers about additional services they may find of value, satisfy our legitimate business interests, set prices, establish credit, and accomplish the billing function.

Information, including Personal Information, provided as part of a shipping transaction represents a record of that business transaction and cannot be altered after the transaction is complete. Although we make reasonable efforts to limit access to our facilities and vehicles to authorized personnel, we are not responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of information that is printed and placed in plain view on a package or letter.

We treat our data as assets that must be protected against loss and unauthorized access. We employ information security techniques to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access by users inside and outside the company. Access to customer information is limited to those employees who have a legitimate business need for that information.

We employ generally accepted information security techniques such as firewalls, access control procedures and cryptography to appropriately protect confidential information from unauthorized access.

We retain information, including personal information, about customers as necessary for business purposes and as required by government regulation. For example, we retain information about packages, including names and addresses, so that we can provide proof of delivery information and to process claim requests. We carefully dispose of records and delete information when retention periods expire.

NJLS may provide links to external sites as a convenience to the user. The inclusion of any link does not imply an endorsement of the external site company, its web site, or the products and services it promotes and sells. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.

NJLS also logs IP addresses for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes. (Your IP address indicates the location of your computer on the Internet.) We do not log IP addresses to track your session, nor do we link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. What does njls.com do with the information it gathers and/or tracks? Statistical Analysis njls.com may perform statistical analyses of user behavior in order to measure interest in the various areas of our site for product development purposes.

NJLS also includes an address book that allows users to enter the names and addresses of the people to whom they frequently ship packages or letters. Use of the address book is optional. It is provided as a convenience so that users will not have to re-enter frequently used address information. The address information provided is stored in a secure manner on our systems. While it is stored in the address book, we will carefully protect the confidentiality of this information. It will not be used for any purpose other than the original intent (i.e. speeding up user shipping activities).

NJLS may also gather anonymous information, which may be used by NJLS. This is information which does not personally identify you, but which may be helpful for improving the services we offer. Generally this information is collected through "traffic data" and may entail the use of "cookies," "IP addresses," or other numeric codes used to identify a computer.

NJLS employs cookies to recognize you and your access privileges on certain sites, as well as to track site usage. Subscribers who do not accept cookies from the domain cannot access all areas of NJLS web sites. For detailed information about our use of cookies, please contact us, using our e-mail form.

Using the e-mail addresses provided at registration, we periodically send e-mails announcing enhancements to services offered by NJLS. We may also contact you regarding account status, changes to the subscriber agreement, and to confirm registration.

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online.

Because an attorney/client relationship is not created by use of njls.com, any communication with njls.com or its content providers does not establish an attorney/client relationship and/or privilege.
