Information Collection and Use

Personal Information is the information about you that is personally identifiable, like your name, physical address, email address, phone number, payment information, and that is not otherwise publicly available. Personal Information also includes information about your activities, such as information about your activity on our Service, and demographic information, such as date of birth, gender, geographic area, and preferences, etc.
Lawcus may receive information about you, including Personal Information, from third parties, and may combine this information with other Personal Information we maintain about you. If we do so, this Privacy Policy governs any combined information that we keep in a personally identifiable format.
Personal Information does not include aggregate or other non-personally identifiable information.

We may use and disclose aggregate information, and other non-personally identifiable information, for various purposes.
Although information uploaded to our Service by a Lawcus user for processing and storage (Customer Data) may include information that correctly identifies an individual (e.g., a Lawcus user could upload to the Service information about its clients in order to perform legal services for those customers via our Service, including information that identifies individuals such as name and email address explicitly), that information is not Personal Information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. Please see the Customer Data and Security section below for information regarding Lawcus’ handling of Customer Data.

Lawcus will not use this Gmail data for serving advertisements.
Lawcus will not allow humans to read this data unless we have your affirmative agreement for specific messages, doing so is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, to comply with applicable law, or for Lawcus’ internal operations and even then, only when the data have been aggregated and anonymized.
