Fastcase, Inc. takes privacy issues seriously; we want you to be familiar with how we collect, use, and disclose information. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information that we collect through Fastcase’s and its associated companies’ websites, applications, and products (e.g., Casemaker, NextChapter, DocketAlarm, Law Street Media), as well as through HTML-formatted email messages that we send to you that link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.
Registration information: When you sign up for an account, you provide us with information, which may include:
We may use a third-party payment service to process payments made through the Services. If you wish to make a payment through the Services, your information may be collected by such third party and not by us, and will be subject to the third party’s privacy policy, rather than this Privacy Policy. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, this third party’s collection, use, and disclosure of your information.
Communications. If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you. For example, when you contact our Customer Support Team or send us a message, we will receive your name, email address, state of residence, the contents of a message or attachments that you may send to us, and other information you choose to provide.
When you use our Services, we and our third-party service providers may collect information from you through automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, user behavior, and web server logs. By using the Services, you consent to the placement of cookies, beacons, and similar technologies in your browser and on emails in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The information collected in this manner includes IP address, browser characteristics, device IDs and characteristics, operating system version, language preferences, referring URLs, and other similar information about the usage of our Services.
We may use this information, for example, to ensure that the Services function properly, to determine how many users have visited certain pages or opened messages or newsletters, or to prevent fraud. We use IP address to derive your approximate location.
We work with analytics and user-behavior providers (e.g., Google Analytics), which use cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Services and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps, and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow you to automatically decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer to your computer of a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site. You may also wish to refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html. If, however, you do not accept cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Services.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements regarding goods and services that may be of interest to you when you access and use the Services and other websites or online services, based on information relating to your access and use of the Services and other websites or online services. To do so, these companies may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser (including through use of pixel tags).
