Privacy Policy of Garofolo & Ramsdell, LLP
This privacy policy applies to information collected online from users of this website. In this policy, you can learn what kind of information Garofolo & Ramsdell, LLP (“G&R”) collects, when and how G&R might use that information, how G&R protects the information, and the choices you have with respect to your personal information.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
G&R may collect information about users in three ways: directly from the user, from G&R’s web server logs, and through cookies. G&R uses the information primarily to determine website content and respond to inquiries. G&R does not share any of the information you provide with others, unless G&R indicates as much in this Privacy Policy, or when G&R believes in good faith that the law requires it.
If you fill out the contact form on this website, G&R will ask you to provide some personal information (such as e-mail address, name, phone number). G&R only requires that you provide your first name, last name, and e-mail address on the contact form. Please do not submit any confidential, proprietary or sensitive personally identifiable information (e.g., Social Security Number; date of birth; driver’s license number; or credit card, bank account or other financial information) (collectively, “Sensitive Information”). If you submit any Sensitive Information, you do so at your own risk and G&R will not be liable to you or responsible for consequences of your submission.
Information that you provide to G&R through the contact form will be used so that G&R may respond to your inquiry. G&R may also use information you provide to communicate with you in the future. If you do not wish to receive such communications, you may opt out (unsubscribe) as described below.
When you visit G&R’s website, G&R may track information about your visit and store that information in web server logs, which are records of the activities on G&R’s site. The servers automatically capture and save the information electronically. Examples of the information G&R may collect include:
- Your unique internet protocol address;
- The name of your unique Internet service provider;
- The town/city, county/state and country from which you access our website;
- The kind of browser or computer you use;
- The number of links you click within the site;
- The date and time of your visit;
- The web page from which you arrived to our site;
- The pages you viewed on the site; and
- Certain searches/queries that you conducted via our website(s).
The information G&R collects in web server logs may help G&R administer the site, analyze its usage, protect the website and its content from inappropriate use and improve the user’s experience.
G&R’s website and applications may use cookies to store and help track information about you. Cookies are simply small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. G&R may use cookies to help remind G&R who you are and to help you navigate our site during your visits. Cookies may allow G&R to save passwords and preferences for you so you will not have to re- enter them each time you visit. The use of cookies is relatively standard. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. However, if you prefer, you can set your browser to either notify you when you receive a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. Some features of many sites may not function properly if you do not accept cookies.
Google Analytics
G&R may use “Google Analytics” to collect information about use of this website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit this site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. Google Analytics collects only the internet protocol address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information. G&R does not combine any information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit this site, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use (as amended for government websites) and the Google Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you on return visits to this site by disabling cookies on your browser.
Google Analytics employs cookies to define user sessions, which allows for the collection of data about how visitors are using the websites. Google Analytics uses only first-party cookies for data analysis. This means that the cookies are linked to a specific website domain, and Google Analytics will only use that cookie data for statistical analysis related to your browsing behavior on that specific website. According to Google, the data collected cannot be altered or retrieved by services from other domains
If you choose, you can opt out by turning off cookies in the preferences settings in your web browser. For more information on Google Analytics, please visit Google Analytics.

- To agents, website vendors, and/or contractors who may use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with G&R; and
- As required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy, as needed in connection with the transfer of our business assets (for example, if G&R is acquired by another firm or if G&R is liquidated during bankruptcy proceedings), or if G&R believes in good faith that sharing the data is necessary to protect G&R’srights or property.
