Cookies Policy

We are inspired litigators who roll up our sleeves and make things happen. We understand that a problem will not solve itself. It takes a Team of people with the drive, ambition and imagination to overcome.

Effective Date: May 23, 2018

 

This Privacy Policy applies to your use of the McDermott Services (as defined below). Please see our European Economic Area Privacy Policy for notice as to: (i) how our McDermott Entities in the EEA process your personal data; (ii) how McDermott Will & Emery LLP processes Personal Data in the context of McDermott Entities located in the EEA; (iii) how McDermott Will & Emery LLP processes your Personal Data if you are located in the EU and we provide you with individual services or are subject to monitoring; or (iv) any other processing by a McDermott Entity where the EU General Data Protection Regulation would otherwise apply.

 

This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information collected by McDermott Will & Emery LLP (“McDermott,” “we” or “us”) through www.mwe.com and any other website, application or digital service on or to which this Privacy Policy is linked or referenced (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to our data collection practices conducted offline. Unless we notify you, this Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party website or service that you may access through the Services.

 

This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and made part of our Terms of Use. Please read this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use carefully. When you submit Personal Information to us, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY PART OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY OR OUR TERMS OF USE, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR WEBSITE AND ONLINE SERVICES.

 

1. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

The Effective Date of this Privacy Policy is set forth at the top of this webpage. As business needs change, we may amend this Privacy Policy. If we materially change the way we collect, use or disclose your Personal Information, we will notify you in advance through the Services and offer you the opportunity to opt out and delete your Personal Information. The amended Privacy Policy supersedes all previous versions. Your continued use of the Services after the Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the amended Privacy Policy.

 

2. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

When you use the Services, we may collect two types of information: Personal Information and Usage Data.

In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means any information that identifies or could be used to identify an individual, such as the following:

  • Name
  • Postal address
  • Telephone number
  • Email address

Personal Information does not include either (i) aggregated information to the extent that an individual’s identity cannot reasonably be derived from it, or (ii) publicly available information that has not been combined with non-public Personal Information.

 

We define “Usage Data” as information about an individual’s activity on or through the Services that, by itself, does not reasonably identify the individual, such as the following:​

 

  • Browser and operating system information
  • Computer or device type
  • Time spent navigating certain webpages or connected via mobile applications
  • Information collected through Data Collection Technologies (as defined below)

 

Generally, we do not consider Usage Data as Personal Information, because Usage Data by itself usually does not identify an individual. However, in some jurisdictions, Usage Data may be considered Personal Information because it can be used to make inferences about you.
