Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP (“EGS,” “us” or “we”) provides this website to advertise and promote our services to the public.  As explained below, we collect information from you when you interact with our website for marketing and advertising purposes.  By using our website, you consent to our collection and use of information as explained in this Notice.  

Collection of Information

EGS collects non-personally identifiable information from you regarding your usage of our web site (“Non-Personally Identifiable Information”). Non-Personally Identifiable Information may include, without limitation, web site pages viewed, articles, presentation and videos viewed, time spent using certain features of the web site, demographic data such as server location, cookies existing on your computer, search criteria used and results, date, time, connection speed, and other information which does not specifically identify you. EGS also collects IP addresses, which are normally associated with the place from which you enter the Internet, such as your Internet service provider, your company or your university.  We collect this information by using cookies.  “Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a website for the purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that website.  

EGS also collects information from you when you view and interact with our website which may enable us to identify you personally (“Personally Identifiable Information”).  We may receive this information from you directly if you send us an email through the EGS website, or through Trovus and Google, as explained below.

We use a web intelligence service, Trovus, which is provided by White Label Intelligence Limited ("WLi").  Trovus collects data about your use of the EGS website using Javascript which will be transmitted to and stored by WLi on servers, including, the IP address of the computer from which you access the EGS website, which web site pages, articles, presentation and videos you view on the website, the time you spend using certain features of the website, demographic data such as server location, cookies existing on your computer, the search criteria you use on the website and results received, the date and time that you access the website and the speed of your connection to the website.  Trovus will also attempt to determine the name of the organization from which you access the website by taking your IP address and then resolving this to an organizational name using a reverse IP lookup. 

WLi will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.  WLi may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or where such third parties process the information on WLi's behalf.  WLi will not associate your IP address with any other data held by WLi and does not process any Personally Identifiable Information. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Trovus in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

We use Google Analytics, which uses first party cookies to report on your interactions with the EGS website. Google Analytics collects information including, but not limited to, the time of each of your visits to the EGS website, whether you have visited the EGS website before, what site referred you to the EGS website, and what pages you viewed on the EGS website.

In addition, we employ Remarketing with Google Analytics, which uses cookies from third-party vendors such as DoubleClick to enable them to serve ads based on your past visits to our website.  Through this service, we receive a report on which websites our targeted advertising appeared (“Advertising website”) as well as the referring website.  If you click on one of our targeted advertisements, we will receive additional information about you, including but not limited to, the IP address of the computer from which you access the Advertising website and content that you viewed on the Advertising website featuring our advertisement.

We may provide any of these services through third parties, which may necessitate sharing Personally Identifiable Information with them.

EGS may also use and disclose Personally Identifiable Information: to investigate and help prevent potentially unlawful activity or activities that threaten the integrity of our web sites or network; to protect and defend our rights or property or the rights or property of others; as required by courts or administrative agencies; and in connection with a financing, sale, merger, or reorganization of EGS’ business or assets.
