Our Commitment to Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide this notice explaining our on-line information practices and the choices you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage and at every point where personally identifiable information may be requested.

The Information We Collect

This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the Barr Mediation website. On some pages, you can order services, make requests, and register to receive secure access to on-line materials. The types of personal information collected at these pages are:

Name
Firm Name
Address
E-mail address
Phone number(s)
Information that you provide regarding arbitrations, mediations, meetings and hearings

The Way We Use Information

We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order for services only to complete that order or for internal use in completing future orders, properly handling your account, configuring the way your services are prepared and delivered to you or otherwise serving you. We do not share this information with outside parties except to the extent necessary to complete your order(s) and service your account.

We use return e-mail addresses to answer the e-mail we receive. Such addresses are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.

We use non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to provide information valuable to you, our clients and prospects. We may share statistical or aggregate information with business partners, sponsors and other third parties but do not disclose anything that could be used to identify individuals.

Finally, we never use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us on-line in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.

Our Commitment to Data Security

To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect on-line.

Our Commitment to Children’s Privacy

Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website is structured to attract anyone under 13.

How You Can Access or Correct Your Information

You can update or remove any personally identifiable information that we collect on-line and maintain by calling Barr Mediation Case Manager at 310.282.0800. We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.

You can correct factual errors in your personally identifiable information by calling our Client Services Department or sending us a request that credibly identifies the error. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.

When We May Disclose Your Personal Information

Barr Mediation reserves the right to use or disclose user information in special cases when we believe it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing interference with or injury to our rights or property or identify or contact any persons who might be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose personal information in response to a subpoena or when we believe in good faith that the law requires such disclosure or to respond to an emergency situation.
