At Juris Digital, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This policy is designed to be clear, concise, and easily understandable, providing you with transparent information about our data handling practices.

2. Information Collection
2.1. Information You Provide Directly:
We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you interact with our website or services. For instance, when you request a quote for our digital marketing services, you may provide us with your name, email address, and phone number. Similarly, if you choose to contact us through our website’s contact form, we will collect the information you submit, which typically includes your name, email address, and any other details you choose to provide regarding your inquiry. Our AI chatbot, designed to offer instant answers to your questions, may also collect information you input during your interactions. Furthermore, if you contact us via phone, we may collect your phone number and any information shared during the call. This practice of collecting basic contact information such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers is a common standard in the legal marketing industry, as observed in the privacy policies of other agencies. This allows us to respond to your inquiries, provide tailored services, and establish a line of communication. It’s important to note that we adhere to the principle of collecting only the information necessary to fulfill your requests and provide our services, ensuring that we do not gather excessive or irrelevant data. Any additional details you provide, such as specific requirements for your marketing needs, help us to personalize our services and provide you with a more relevant experience.
2.2. Information Collected Automatically:
When you visit, use, or navigate our Services, we may process personal information depending on how you interact with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use. This includes certain information that is automatically collected from your device when you access our website. This automatically collected information does not typically reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which can indicate your general location. We also collect information about your browser type and version, your computer’s operating system, and referring URLs, which indicate the website you visited before coming to our site. Details about your browsing activity on our site, such as the pages you visit, the time you spend on those pages, and the links you click, are also automatically collected. We may also gather device-specific information, including the device name and characteristics. Like many online businesses, we use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect some of this information, which helps us analyze website traffic, understand user behavior, and improve our website’s functionality and user experience. The collection of IP addresses and browsing activity is a standard practice for website analytics, allowing us to understand how users interact with our site and identify areas for improvement. If our website includes social media sharing buttons, we may also collect aggregated data about sharing activities to understand the reach and engagement of our content. While we may collect general location data based on your IP address, you often have the ability to control whether precise location data is collected through your device settings.
2.3. Information from Other Sources:
Currently, Juris Digital does not typically collect personal information about users from third-party sources such as public databases, marketing partners, or social media platforms. Should our practices change in the future to include the collection of data from such sources, we will update this Privacy Policy to provide detailed information about these sources and the types of information we receive. The practice of obtaining information from various external sources is becoming more common for businesses seeking a comprehensive understanding of their audience, but we are committed to transparency and will ensure you are informed if we adopt such practices.
3. Use of Your Information
We use the information we collect for various purposes related to providing and improving our services, communicating with you, ensuring the security of our website, and complying with legal obligations. Specifically, we use your contact information and any details you provide to respond to your inquiries, process your requests for quotes, and deliver the digital marketing services you engage us for. This includes communicating with you about updates, providing customer support, and fulfilling our contractual obligations. The information we automatically collect, such as your IP address and browsing activity, helps us to analyze how our website is used, identify trends, and improve its functionality, content, and overall user experience. We may also use your information for marketing purposes, such as sending you newsletters, promotional emails, and information about our services that we believe may be of interest to you. However, we will always provide you with the option to opt out of receiving such communications. Ensuring the security of our website and preventing fraudulent activities is another important purpose for which we use the collected information. Additionally, we may need to use and retain your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes. The digital marketing industry increasingly relies on data to refine services and tailor user experiences, and our use of data for these purposes reflects this trend. Protecting our online environment and user data from security threats is a fundamental responsibility, and the use of collected information plays a crucial role in these efforts. Operating within the bounds of the law necessitates that we utilize data in a manner that adheres to legal and regulatory requirements.
4. Sharing of Your Information
We may share your personal information with third parties in specific circumstances to help us operate our business and provide our services effectively. This may include sharing information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us with various functions, such as website hosting, data analysis, email marketing, customer relationship management, and other services necessary for our operations. These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and are only permitted to use it for the specific purposes for which we engage them. In the event of a business transfer, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law, legal process, or a government request, such as in response to a subpoena or court order. Furthermore, we may share your information with third parties if you have given us your explicit consent to do so. We may also share aggregated or anonymized data that does not directly identify you for research, statistical analysis, or marketing purposes. While some legal marketing agencies might share or rent data for marketing purposes, our policy is that we do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties for their marketing purposes unless we have your explicit consent. The reliance on external vendors for specialized services is a common practice for digital businesses, and we carefully select providers who demonstrate a commitment to data protection.
5. Data Security Measures
We have implemented reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include using secure servers and encryption technologies, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, to protect sensitive information transmitted online. We also maintain up-to-date security software and regularly review our security practices to ensure they align with industry standards. Access to your personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who have a legitimate business need to access it. We also ensure our team is trained on the importance of data privacy and security practices. While we strive to protect your personal information, it is important to understand that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. The digital landscape presents inherent security risks, and despite our best efforts, absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
