Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18 on our Site.

Does our Company comply with Do Not Track requests? 

Your browser may provide you with the option to send a “Do Not Track” signal to websites you visit.  This signal is used to request that websites not send the requesting device cookies, but websites have no obligation to respond to such signal or to modify their operation.  At the current time, this Site is not programmed to recognize Do Not Track signals, so this Site will not treat you differently if we receive such signals from your browser, and we may not comply with Do Not Track settings on your browser.

We generally use personal information collected for the following purposes:

  • To respond to inquiries from users;

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your computer’s hard drive that allows the website’s server to keep track of and facilitate certain activities on the site. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites.  This Site may use cookies.  Cookies allow us to recognize you as a user when you return to the Site using the same computer and web browser.  We use cookies to identify which areas of the Site you have visited.  We also may use this information to better personalize the content you see on the Site.

To help us optimize the Site, we may allow other authorized third parties to place or recognize unique cookies on your browser.  Any information provided to third parties through cookies will not be personally identifiable information (“PII”) but may provide general segment information to enhance your user experience by providing more relevant marketing.  We use the data from these third-party providers to improve the website and market our products and services.  Third party services and tools we use may use the data it collects for its own business purpose.

How you can access and control your personal information

Individual Rights to Access Personal Data

To the extent provided by applicable law, individuals have the right to know what personal information of theirs is stored by us and to ensure that such personal data is accurate and relevant for the purposes for which we collected it. We will make our best effort to allow individuals access to view their own data as well as to correct, to alter or to delete such data.

However, where such access is unreasonable, requires a disproportionate effort, jeopardizes the privacy of other users, or contravenes the law, our policies, or reasonable business practice, requests to access data may be declined. User identification is required to access data for these reasons, and the process and procedures for various types of access may differ. Please contact us for further information.

You may choose to decline to submit any personal information for any of our products or services. Please note that this may result in our being unable to provide said service, including, without limitation, subscription services, even if time remains for your subscription.

What are the California Privacy Rights?

Under Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, residents of California can obtain certain information from companies with whom they have an established business relationship.  That information is about the personal information those companies have shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year.  The law requires companies to inform consumers about the categories of personally identifiable information shared with third parties, the names and addresses of those third parties, and examples of the services or products marketed by those third parties.  To request a copy of the information disclosure provided by BenchPrep under Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, please contact us.

How do you keep my personal information secure?

We have attempted to establish and implement reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to protect the personal information you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure, or use.  This Privacy Policy does not apply to any information you may send to company by email or instant messaging programs or through social media networks, even if you open such programs or services by clicking a link displayed on the Site.  Email, social media, and instant messages are not recognized as secure forms.  Please do not send any information you consider private to us by email or instant message or through social media sites due to the public nature of such postings.

How long do we retain your personal information?

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the business purpose for which you provided it to us and any other legitimate business purpose, including without limitation, for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.  We may also retain offline archival copies of data for the applicable statutory periods.  If you would like more details about our data retention policies, please contact us.

We periodically review our collection, storage and processing procedures and policies to ensure that it is in compliance with applicable law.

Does the Site link to third party sites?

The Site may link to third party sites including social media websites. When using third party sites, you should review the privacy policies of such sites to understand how they collect and use personal information. The privacy policies of the third-party sites that you share personal information with will govern the use of your personal information.
