WELCOME TO MINDFUL COUNSEL

Mindful Counsel, PLLC (“Mindful Counsel”, “We” or “Us”), understands that privacy is really important to the online visitors to our website (“Visitor” or “User”). This privacy policy applies to our website, www.themindfulcounsel.com (“Website”) and to our Services; it describes the steps we take to protect your data.

All website users must be at least 18 years old or of necessary age in their country of residence.

1. How We Collect and Use Data
Information for our Services. We ask for certain information about you when inquiring about our Services, including: name, address, and contact information. Once you begin using our Services, we will keep records of activities related to the Service. We use this information to operate, maintain, and enhance the features and functionality of the Services, to analyze our Service offerings and functionality, and to communicate with you.
 
Information Collected Through Technology. We automatically collect certain types of usage information when visitors view our website or use our Website. We may send one or more cookies — a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters — to your computer that uniquely identifies your browser and helps to log you in faster and enhance your navigation through the site. A cookie may also convey information to us about how you use the Website (e.g., the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on the Website), and allow us to track your usage of the Website over time.
 
We may collect log file information from your browser or mobile device each time you access the Website. Log file information may include anonymous information such as your web request, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, information about your mobile device, number of clicks and how you interact with links on the Website, pages viewed, and other such information. We may employ clear gifs (also known as web beacons) which are used to anonymously track the online usage patterns of our Users.

We may also collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the Website. We do not allow third party advertising networks to collect information about the users of our Website. We use or may use the data collected through cookies, log files, device identifiers, and clear gifs information to: (a) remember information so that a user will not have to re-enter it during subsequent visits; (b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Website; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number of visitors, traffic, and usage on our Website; (e) diagnose or fix technology problems; and (f) help users efficiently access information after signing in.
 
2. How We Comply with Privacy Laws
We may also collect your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) (specifically, your name, phone number, and e-mail). In the scenario in which a minor may enter PII, we ask parents to help us protect the privacy of minors under the age of 18 by instructing them to never provide PII without getting parental/guardian permission first. Please note that we consider minor’s data, metadata, and user content as PII.

3. Sharing Data
[We don’t share any data unless required to by law or as a part of our internal business processes.]
 
Mindful Counsel does not share user data with third-parties, nor do we rent or sell any data or information for marketing purposes or to any third-party advertising networks.
Mindful Counsel only shares user data in two limited circumstances. First, we may share user data with those who provide us technology for our Website (e.g. web hosting and analytics) but strictly for the purpose of carrying out their work for us to enable us to provide the Website to you. Second, we may be required to share information with law enforcement or other third parties when compelled to do so by court order or other legal process, to comply with statutes or regulations, to enforce our Terms of Conditions, or if we believe in good faith that the disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or personal safety of our users.
 
4. How We Store and Protect Data
 Any information collected through our Website is stored and processed in the United States.
Mindful Counsel maintains strict administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect data stored in our servers, all of which are located in the U.S. Access to information is limited (through user/password protection and two factor authentication) to those employees who require it to perform their jobs. Also, we use industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology to safeguard the account registration process and sign-up information. Our other security safeguards include but are not limited to: data encryption, firewalls, and physical access controls to buildings and files.
We will ensure that all data associated with your account that is in our possession is destroyed or transferred to you when the data is no longer needed for its specified purpose, at your request.
 
5. Newsletter
You may volunteer certain information to us that can be used for email and marketing purposes including, but not limited to, your name and email. You can unsubscribe from any future communications via email. However, we reserve the right to keep a database of past email subscribers. We reserve the right to use this information as reasonably necessary for our business and as provided by law.
