PRIVACY POLICY and COOKIE POLICY
Last Updated: August 11, 2012
The following describes the Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy for ALL of our DOYLE
CHAMBERS websites.
Your Privacy
Your privacy is important to us at DOYLE CHAMBERS. To better protect your privacy we provide
this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices you can make about the way your
information is collected and used. You agree to agree to these policies by virtue of using our website in a
way that leads to you providing us with personal information.
State Law & Accompanying Rights
Please understand that you may have additional rights originating from State laws based on
where you live. These State-based rights may augment, strengthen, or otherwise somehow compliment any privacy
rights you have inherently or under Federal law. Our policy is to comply fully with the privacy policies of
every jurisdiction in which we operate. Accordingly, you are free to use our Contact information to reach us
at any time to assert any State rights.
Our Commitment To Children’s Privacy
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, our website
will never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 18, and no
part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 18.
Under our Terms of Service and Conditions of Use, children under 18 are not allowed to use our
website and access our services. It is not our intention to offer products or services to minors.
Collection of Personal Information
When visiting our website, the IP address used to access our website may be logged along with
the dates and times of access. This information is purely used to analyze trends, administer our website,
track users movement, and gather broad demographic information for internal use such as statistical
assessments and website improvement. Most importantly, any recorded IP addresses are not linked to personally
identifiable information.
Other information may be collected as well by DOYLE CHAMBERS, which is rather typical of most
websites. For instance, the source that referred you to our website is generally known. Likewise, your
duration on our website, and your destination when you leave our website can also be tracked. Other common
data collected includes the type of operating system the computer you are using to access our website has.
Similarly, the type of web browser is often noted. Again, this is common data collection, and helps
ultimately produce a better end-user experience.
Cookies are another common internet practice. Cookies are a key means of improving user
experience by allows us to customize your use of our website. Simple information is transferred to your
computer to allow the content and experience at DOYLE CHAMBERS to reflect your actions, preferences, and so
on. You should simply make the assumption our website uses cookies, and note that you are free to make
adjustments in your web browser to disable these or otherwise receive notification of cookies so you can take
whatever desired action you so choose. Please understand that refusing cookies may cripple some of our
website features and render some aspects useless to you.
At times, you will be fully aware of information received, as you are the direct source
providing it. For instance, you may comment on a blog post, reply to an email (whether broadcast message or
autoresponder), provide an email address, complete a survey, requests SMS, or otherwise. Likewise, purchases
necessarily involve collecting certain information, such as credit card information, Paypal addresses, your
physical address for billing and/or shipping, phone number, and so on. Refusing to provide some of this
information may lead to us being unable to provide you with the products or services you’ve
requested.
A prime example of limited access to our website is where some DOYLE CHAMBERS content may be
protected by a username and password. Whether a username and password is generated by our website, or created
by you, these will almost always be connected with some other information related to or connected with you.
This is true since much content that is protected on the internet is subscription based, often paid for.
Thus, the username and password must necessarily be tied to your other account data. Usernames and passwords,
by their very nature, should be kept private.
Handling of Personal Information
Note that any personal information you provide to others apart from us or our vendors is
wholly optional. As an example, you might disclose something in a blog post comment. That “private”
information is now “public,” and we have no control over that. In like fashion, you sharing information with
any other third party not functioning as a service provider to us puts that information beyond our control
and becomes subject to the policy that party has in place.
Our primary intention for collecting personal and private information from you is simply to
conduct our business. We can use this internally to better serve you. Accordingly, we see no reason to share
your personal information to other parties and outside interests unless you have authorized us to do so. Of
course, there are instances where your information is stored with third party service providers, such as
email service providers, as they provide services that are industry-leading in quality and security and are
far more beneficial to our end user than attempting such services “in-house.” However, you are never required
to deal with any such third party directly, they are limited in how they use your information, and they
cannot sell or transfer it to others in any way.
However, of course, your information does comprise part of an overall whole. This aggregate of
information, by contrast, may be used to understand our overall user base. Further, we may share this
information about our website visitors as a whole, not individually, with third parties for various purposes,
in our sole discretion.
While we are staunch privacy advocates at DOYLE CHAMBERS, there are times when even we may be
forced to abandon these ideals. Just as major search engines face ongoing compulsion to provide data against
their will, so too may the same occur with our DOYLE CHAMBERS website. Illegal activity or other serious acts
or allegations could create legal liability for our website. In those cases, we reserve the right to share
your information, or else may simply be compelled to do so by law. On the other hand, there may be times when
we would need to share your private information in order to protect our own interests. For instance, in cases
of suspected or alleged copyright infringement or other intellectual property violations, it may be necessary
to share personal information.

CHAMBERS website. The use of DART cookies by Google enables them to serve adverts to visitors that are based

How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are visiting, the
activities in which you elect to participate and the services provided. For example, you may be asked to
provide information when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request certain features,
such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. You may provide information when you participate in
sweepstakes and contests, message boards and chat rooms, and other interactive areas of our site. Like most
Web sites, DoyleChambers.com also collects information automatically and through the use of electronic tools
that may be transparent to our visitors. For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider
or use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your visit. Among other things, the
cookie may store your user name and password, sparing you from having to re-enter that information each time
you visit, or may control the number of times you encounter a particular advertisement while visiting our
site. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather information through other means. In certain
cases, you can choose not to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to refuse to
accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access certain portions of the site or may be asked to
re-enter your user name and password, and we may not be able to customize the site’s features according to
your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit and deliver
more individualized content and advertising. We respect your privacy and do not share your information with
anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify you) may be used
in many ways. For example, we may combine information about your usage patterns with similar information
obtained from other users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages are visited most
or what features are most attractive). Aggregated Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers
and business partners. Again, this information does not include any Personally Identifiable Information about
you or allow anyone to identify you individually.
We may use Personally Identifiable Information collected on DoyleChambers.com to
communicate with you about your registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service and privacy
policy; services and products offered by DoyleChambers.com and other topics we think you might find of
interest.
Personally Identifiable Information collected by DoyleChambers.com may also be used
for other purposes, including but not limited to site administration, troubleshooting, processing of
e-commerce transactions, administration of sweepstakes and contests, and other communications with you.
Certain third parties who provide technical support for the operation of our site (our Web hosting service
for example) may access such information. We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition,
from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell, buy, merge or partner with other
companies or businesses. In such transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We may
also disclose your information in response to a court order, at other times when we believe we are reasonably
required to do so by law, in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to us, and/or to law
enforcement authorities whenever we deem it appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
DoyleChambers.com expects its partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the
privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including our partners, advertisers, affiliates
and other content providers accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data collection
policies and practices. For example, during your visit to our site you may link to, or view as part of a
frame on a DoyleChambers.com page, certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party. Also,
through DoyleChambers.com you may be introduced to, or be able to access, information, Web sites, features,
contests or sweepstakes offered by other parties. DoyleChambers.com is not responsible for the actions or
policies of such third parties. You should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties when
providing information on a feature or page operated by a third party.
While on our site, our advertisers, promotional partners or other third parties may
use cookies or other technology to attempt to identify some of your preferences or retrieve information about
you. For example, some of our advertising is served by third parties and may include cookies that enable the
advertiser to determine whether you have seen a particular advertisement before. Other features available on
our site may offer services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other technology to gather
information. DoyleChambers.com does not control the use of this technology by third parties or the resulting
information, and is not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally Identifiable
Information on message boards or in chat areas, that information can be viewed publicly and can be collected
and used by third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited messages from other individuals
or third parties. Such activities are beyond the control of DoyleChambers.com and this policy.
