This website is operated by Haik, Minvielle & Grubbs, LLP ("we" or "us").
We respect the privacy of users of our website and recognise that when you choose to provide
us with information about yourself, you trust us to act in a responsible manner with that
information. This privacy policy contains important information about how we use
your personal information.

What information do we collect?

At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information. Generally
this information is requested when you want us to provide you with information.
We may gather the following information about you when you use this website:

• Name
• Email address
• Telephone number
• IP address (a unique identifier for your computer or other device)
• Mobile device ID
• Information provided by you in relation to submitting a job application to us (this may include sensitive personal information e.g. ethnic origin)

How do we use it?

We will use your personal information in the following ways. We are also required by law to
state a “legal basis for processing”, i.e. to tell you on what grounds we are allowed to use your
information, and this is also set out below.

For how we use your information that is collected using cookies and similar technologies
please see the "Cookies" page here.

How do we use your information for marketing?

We will only provide information to you that you have asked for via the website.

Where do we send your information?

We are a global company and therefore we may transfer your personal information to countries
around the world including the US and other countries outside Europe. We will, where the
country to which your data is transferred has not been found to provide an adequate level of
protection, put in place appropriate safeguards (we use standard contractual clauses) to ensure
your information is protected.

How long do we keep your information?

We will keep your information for only as long as needed.

Cookies

What are cookies?

We may use information obtained from cookies or similar technology. Cookies are text files
containing small amounts of information which we download onto your computer or device
when you visit our website. Therefore, when we refer to "you" in this section we mean your
computer. We can recognise these cookies on subsequent visits and they allow us to remember
you.
Cookies come in many forms. We have set out below the main types and categories of cookies
that are used. This section refers to all types and categories of cookies and not just those we use
on our website.
First and third-party cookies - whether a cookie is first-party or third-party refers to the domain
placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the
user, the website displayed in the URL window e.g. hmg-law.com. Third-Party cookies are
cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. If a
user visits a website and another entity sets a cookie through that website this would be a
third-party cookie.
Persistent cookies – these cookies remain on a user's device for the period of time specified in
the cookie. They are activated each time that the user visits the website that created that
particular cookie.
Session cookie – these cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a
browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and finishes
when they close the browser window. Session cookies are created temporarily. Once you close
the browser, all session cookies are deleted.

What do we use cookies for?

Cookies fall into one or more of the categories set out below. This website uses cookies that fall
into all the categories. Also we use data from targeting cookies placed on your computer by
third parties when you have visited other websites.

1. Strictly necessary cookies – These cookies enable services you have specifically asked for.

These cookies are essential in order to enable you to move around the website and use its
features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies certain services
you have asked for cannot be provided. e.g. the ASP.NET cookie.

2. Performance cookies – These cookies collect information on the pages visited.

These cookies collect information about how users use a website, for instance which pages users
go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect
information that identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and
therefore anonymous. They are only used to improve how the website works.

3. Functionality cookies – These cookies remember choices you make to improve your experience.

These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more
personal features. For instance, e.g. the AddThis cookie that is used in Haik, Minvielle &
Grubbs, LLP’s corporate reports. The AddThis cookie provides ‘share this page’ functionality,
where a user can email a link from a report to their friends. They may also be used to help
provide services you have asked for such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The
information these cookies collect may be anonymised and they cannot track your browsing
activity to other websites.

4. Targeting cookies or advertising cookies – these cookies collect information about your browsing habits in order to make advertising relevant to you and your interests.

These cookies are used to deliver adverts more relevant to you and your interests. They are
also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as help measure
the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. They are usually placed by advertising networks
with the website operator's permission. They remember that you have visited a website
and this information is shared with other organisation such as advertisers. Quite often
targeting or advertising cookies will be linked to site functionality provided by the other
organisation.
If you want to delete any cookies that may already be on your computer or device, please refer
to the instructions for your file management software to locate the file or directory that stores
cookies. If you want to stop cookies being stored on your computer in future, please refer to
your browser manufacturer’s instructions by clicking “Help” in your browser menu. Further

Third Party Websites

Our website links to third party sites which we do not operate or endorse. These websites may
use cookies and collect your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies.
This privacy policy does not apply to third party websites and we are not responsible for third
party websites.

How do we protect your information?

We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information disclosed to us is kept
secure, accurate and up to date and kept only for so long as is necessary for the purposes for
which it is used.
