1. WHO WE ARE
ALM is a business-to-business integrated global digital media company headquartered in the United States. We provide products and services that deliver premium content to professionals in the legal, financial services, benefits, consulting, property, casualty insurance, and real estate industries. These include publications and resources through ALM’s 30+ brands, intelligence solutions, events, and marketing solutions. All our products and services are collectively called “Services” in this policy.
We’re dedicated to providing our customers with market-leading critical news, data, analysis, marketing solutions, and events that empower them to grow, compete, and win. We take well-earned pride in our mission to connect professionals with the information and people they need to solve the business challenges they face every day.
2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The personal information we may collect from and about you broadly falls into the following categories.
2.1 Information we collect directly. You may provide personal information to us through the Services. For example, when you sign up for, order, subscribe to, or use any of our Services, consult our customer service team or communicate with us.
We may also collect personal information, such as your contact and professional details, when you attend our events, participate in surveys, or through other business or marketing interactions we may have with you. You may provide additional information when you communicate or interact with us.
In most cases, your provision of personal information to us is entirely voluntary. However, if you fail to provide such information, we may not be able to provide you with certain Services or information.
The personal information you provide may include:
Contact Information: When setting up an ALM account to access or subscribe to the Services, you will need to provide certain information, including contact information (such as name, address, email, or telephone number) and professional information (such as job title, department, or job role).
Financial Information: If you are paying for any of the Services (for example, through one of our online check-out pages), we may require you to provide credit card or other financial information to process a payment. You should never provide detailed credit card information to ALM via an insecure form (such as email).
Transaction Information: We will maintain records of your purchases, transactional information, and Service history and usage. We may also retain your communications with us and our responses.
Partner Products & Services Offered on the Services: Third parties (such as our partners, sponsors, or advertisers whose services are promoted or advertised on the Services) may request that you provide personal information. Please see How We Share Information in Section 4 below for further details.
Research Surveys: You may elect to provide information in connection with research surveys in which you participate.
Emails to ALM: If you send us emails, you should be aware that any information provided in an email may not be secure or encrypted and, therefore, may be available to others. Please exercise caution if you decide to disclose any personal or confidential information to us in any email.
Job Applicants to ALM: When applying for select job postings at ALM, we will ask you to send us your resume or other relevant information online.
Lawjobs.com and LegalWeekjobs.com: When using the Lawjobs.com and Legalweekjobs.com Services, you may elect to send us your resume or other relevant information.
2.2 Information we collect automatically. When you use the Services, we (or our third-party partners) may collect information about your device and usage of the Services. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area, this information may be considered personal information under applicable data protection laws.
We may use various technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to collect some of this information. Our use of Tracking Technologies is discussed in more detail in Tracking Technologies and Advertising and Analytics Services in Section 5 below.
We may use Tracking Technologies to collect the information described below automatically:
Device Information: We may collect certain information about the device you use to access the Services, including but not limited to IP addresses for your devices, unique device identifiers, browser types, and browser language.
User History: We may log certain usage information about your use of the Services, including a history of the pages you view. If you download and use any ALM software or application on your device, the log files will automatically be collected and sent to our servers by the application when your device syncs up for the latest content available.
Mobile/Location Information: We may collect additional information if you access the Services through a mobile device. For example, we may collect your unique device identifier, your device’s operating system, mobile carrier, or your location when you opt-in for us to do so. The degree to which your location can be identified depends on your device (e.g., laptop, smartphone, tablet) and how you are connected to the internet (e.g., via cable broadband connection, Wi-Fi). If you enable location services for the Services, we may collect your regional location data periodically as you use or leave the Services open. We may also collect your location information from your IP address or zip code.
We may also use location data internally or with our third-party service providers to customize your experience and provide relevant offers. Depending on the device you use to access the Services (e.g., Apple™ iOS, Google™ Android, Windows), you may be able to control whether location data is collected using the settings on your wireless device.
2.3 Information we collect from third-party sources.
Third-Party Sources: Occasionally, we may obtain personal information about you from third-party sources, such as public databases, social networking services, third-party data providers, and our joint marketing partners. Examples of the information we may receive from third-party sources include job title, company, location, updated contact information, and other demographic and professional information. We use this information, alone or in combination with other information (including personal information we collect), to enhance our ability to provide you with relevant marketing and content and develop and provide you with more relevant products, features, and services.
Social Networking Accounts: When you choose to log into your ALM account through your LexisNexis account or social networking accounts, link your social networking accounts with the Services, or engage with the Services through the LexisNexis platform or third-party social media platforms, you may be allowing us ongoing access to certain information stored on those platforms. In addition, as you interact with the Services, you may also be providing information about your activities to LexisNexis or the third-party social networking platforms, as applicable. You should ensure that you are comfortable with the information such services may make available to us by visiting the applicable platforms’ privacy policies or modifying your privacy settings directly with those platforms.
3. HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Provide the products and services you request, process transactions, and send you related information, including confirmations and receipts.
Provide support, improve the Services, and manage system administration and security.

4. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We may share your personal information with the following types of third parties for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:
Administrator Uses: If an account administrator manages your use of the Services, then your account administrator and resellers who provide user support to your organization may have access to your personal information (including your email and other data). Please refer to your account administrator’s privacy policy for more information.
Partner Products & Services Offered on the ALM Services: If you provide personal information to access products or services of third parties, such as our partners, sponsors, or advertisers, that are offered or promoted on or through the Services, you may be providing your information to both ALM and the third party. For example, when you enter your personal information to download a white paper offered by a partner on the Services, both ALM and the partner may receive your personal information. Your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy and the privacy policy and practices of such third parties. ALM is not responsible for this, and this Privacy Policy does not cover such third parties’ use of your personal information.
Sharing Information with Marketing Partners: ALM selectively makes its postal mailing address list and email list for customers in the United States available to third-party partners so that they may provide you with information about product or service offerings, events, or promotions that may interest you. You may opt out of having such information shared for this purpose. Please see Your Choices/How to Opt-Out in Section 6 below.
Third Parties Providing Functionality: We also work with third parties to provide certain functionalities on the Services and to improve the effectiveness of the Services and its content. Separate and distinct from information ALM shares with third parties, third-party companies may also use Tracking Technologies to independently collect and store information about you and your usage of the Services. They may combine this information with information they collect from other sources. Please note that we do not control Tracking Technologies used by third parties, and their privacy policies may govern their use of such Tracking Technologies.
Third-Party Event Sponsors: When you register for an ALM event (including any webinars and recognition dinners), we may share the information you provide, such as your name, company name, postal address, and email address, with third parties who are sponsoring the event. You may opt out of having such information shared for this purpose, as described in greater detail in Your Choices/How to Opt Out in Section 6 below.
Mobile Carriers: If you access the Services through a device or app, we may share your information with mobile carriers, operating systems, and platforms.
LawJobs and LegalWeek Jobs: If you upload your resume onto Lawjobs.com or LegalWeekjobs.com, we will share your resume with prospective employers when you apply to a specific job or have given us consent to share your resume via our employer database.
Compliance with Law: ALM may release information if it is required to do so by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or comply with legal process served on ALM; (2) protect and defend the legitimate business interests, rights or property of ALM, its users, advertisers, customers, sponsors, advertisers, or affiliates; and (3) if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our Terms of Use or policies.
Service Providers: Sometimes, we need to share your information with our third-party service providers, who help us provide and support the Services and other business functions. For example, we use service providers to assist with the following: analyzing data, hosting data, engaging technical support, processing payments, delivering content, mailing statements to subscribers, email distribution, and providing customer service.
Advertising Partners: We may partner with third-party advertising networks and exchanges to display advertising on our websites or to manage and serve our advertising on other sites. We may share your personal information with them for this purpose. Please see more information in Your Choices/How to Opt Out in Section 6 below.
Organizational Changes: Should ALM undergo a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization, or liquidation, ALM’s accumulated customer information will be treated as an asset and, like other business assets, subject to transfer to or acquisition by a third party. We may also disclose information about our users in a commercial transaction where we, or any of our businesses, seek financing, investment, support, or funding.
With Your Consent or at Your Direction.
5. TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS SERVICES
Targeted Advertising: We and our third-party partners and vendors may use Tracking Technologies, such as cookies, pixels, and web beacons, and collect and store information about you when you use or interact with our Services, marketing communications, advertising content, or third-party websites, to provide you with targeted advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. When you access the Services or third-party websites, these third parties automatically receive your IP address or mobile device identifier. They may also use Tracking Technologies to measure the effectiveness of advertisements, personalize the advertising content, and serve you advertisements relevant to your regional location. We may also use information collected using third-party cookies and beacons on the Services and in our emails to advertise our Services when you visit third-party websites. To learn more about our use of Tracking Technologies and how to manage your preferences, please see our Tracking Technologies Notice.
Analytics and Ad Serving: Google, Tealium and Site Catalyst are some of the companies that we use to serve advertising and perform analytics on some of the Services. When you access the Services, our third-party vendors, including Google, use third-party cookies (such as the Google DoubleClick cookie) to serve you ads based on your previous visit to our website and other websites. To learn more about your choices, particularly Google’s currently available opt-outs for the Web, please see Your Choices/How to Opt Out in Section 6 below.
Cross-Device Tracking: We (and our third-party service providers) also use Tracking Technologies that recognize and collect usage information and information about the devices you use to connect with our Services and third-party websites. When these tools are enabled, the data that we and our third-party service providers collect about these devices enables the delivery of product recommendations, advertising, or other promotional materials across your devices that are more relevant information to you or to measure the effectiveness of our Services and advertising. When you connect to the Services or third-party websites, they automatically receive your IP address or mobile device identifier. If you use multiple browsers or devices, this data may be combined with the same information from another browser or device. You may opt out of this type of tracking/information collection by clicking here. This opt-out applies to the specific device/browser combination on which you are browsing, so you will need to opt-out on each device and browser separately. Please note that opting out of targeted advertising does not opt you out of being served ads. You will continue to receive untargeted generic ads.
6. YOUR CHOICES/HOW TO OPT-OUT

Sharing with Third-Party Partners: ALM selectively makes its postal mailing address list and email list of customers available to third parties whose products or service offerings may interest you.

Turning Off Tracking Technologies: You can choose to have your computer warn you each time a persistent or session cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Each browser is different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn how to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your browser will not remove Flash cookies and may not turn off HTML5 storage. Please click here to learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies. To learn more about HTML5 storage, see our Tracking Technologies Notice. It is important to remember that many of ALM’s services may not function properly if your cookies are disabled. For example, ALM needs first-party cookies to log you in to the Services that require registration or a subscription. In that case, you may set your browser to block third-party cookies and allow ALM’s first-party cookies only.
“Do Not Track” Signals: Some third-party browsers provide “do not track” machine-readable signals for websites that are automatically applied by default and do not necessarily reflect our visitors’ choice of whether they wish to receive advertisements tailored to their interests. As a result, currently, ALM does not respond to browser “do not track” signals or other similar mechanisms. Go to http://www.networkadvertising.org or http://www.aboutads.info if you wish to learn more about your options to not accept tracking cookies for the purpose of receiving targeted interest-based advertisements. Please note that the opt-out is cookie-based and will only affect the specific computer and browser on which the opt-out is applied.
Network Advertising Initiative: Some of our advertising service providers may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single location from which to opt out of ad targeting from member companies. If you opt out of receiving targeted ads in this manner, you will continue to receive advertising messages from us, but other members of the Network Advertising Initiative will not be able to target you based on your use of the Services or third-party websites. If you want more information about advertisers’ use of tracking technologies and your option not to accept these cookies, you can go here. If you want to learn more about how interest-based information is collected and your choices about not having your information used in this manner, you can go here.
Google Opt-Outs: Google is one of the companies that we use to serve advertising and perform analytics on some of the Services. To learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs for the Web, click here. To learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising, you can visit the Google Advertising Privacy & Terms policy here. You can opt out of receiving interest-based Google ads or customize the ads Google shows you by clicking here. ALM also uses third-party services for remarketing ALM’s products and services, such as Google’s Customer Match via the Google platform, whereby we will deliver targeted ads to you based on your prior usage of the Services. If you want to opt out of remarketing, please email us at [email protected].
7. RIGHT OF ACCESS

To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have implemented appropriate technical, organizational, physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to protect the information we collect.
