Individuals located in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom are invited to review our GDPR/UK GDPR Notice of Personal Data Processing Practices for information about how we process personal data subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation and the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation.

Information Collection

(a) Information You Provide to Us

AGG collects the personal information individuals choose to provide to us in connection with legal representation, when registering for webinars and other events, using our website, and through interactions with our attorneys and staff. For example, you may submit an inquiry to us, sign-up for legal updates, register for webinars or events, or apply for a position with us. In doing so, you may submit personal information such as your name, email address, employer, and job title. If you would prefer that AGG not collect, store, or use your personal information according to the terms of this Policy, please do not submit any personal information to us. Examples of the types of personal information that individuals may voluntarily provide include:

  • Identifiers, such as your name, telephone number(s), fax number(s), email address(es), postal address(es), social media identifiers, unique personal identifiers such as state bar number or HR Certification Institute (HRCI) number, and social security numbers or other government identification numbers.
  • Demographic Information, such as information about your age, race, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, or veteran’s status, which may be collected from job applicants, or, in the case of age and gender, which may also be collected from other individuals or inferred about website visitors by our analytics providers.
  • Professional and Educational Information, such as information about schools you attended, your employment history, your current employer, your job title, language skills, professional memberships, and certifications.
  • Geolocation Information, such as your address, country, region, or city, if you submit it when signing up, or which can be inferred about website visitors by our analytics providers based on information such as IP address, such as city, region or country.
  • Health Information, such as accessibility requirements and dietary restrictions.

AGG may collect:

  • Geolocation information, such as the general location or region where your computer or other device is accessing the internet.
  • Website and electronic communication information, such as information about your browser, or device, or IP address information (which is considered personal information in some jurisdictions). We also may collect information about your interactions with us, such as the pages of our website you visited, the types of content you interact with, the frequency and duration of your activities on our website and other digital communications.

(c) Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We utilize “cookies,” web beacons, and other similar technologies on our website. We may use first and/or third party “browser” or “HTTP” cookies, which are unique text files that may be used for data analytics, and enable our website to tailor information for the visitor. We may use browser cookies for purposes such as to personalize the user’s experience on our site, to remember a user when the user registers for services, for fraud prevention, or to track visits to our website. We also may use “web beacons” (also referred to as pixel tags or clear gifs) or similar technologies to collect information such as how long a visitor remains on a particular page. We also may include these technologies in emails to understand whether these messages have been opened and other ways in which you have interacted with the message. We may use third party service providers to assist us in analyzing this data including, for example, Google Analytics. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by downloading Google’s Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Some Internet browsers offer “Do Not Track” or “DNT” features which, when turned on, send a signal to the website that the individual visiting the website does not wish to be tracked. Our website does not currently respond to do-not-track-signals, but you can change your browser settings to reject or remove all cookies that are not strictly necessary for the website to function. You can also manage your cookie preferences by navigating to the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the AGG website and adjusting your cookie preferences using our cookie preference tool.

AGG, however, will require that any of AGG’s service providers institute safeguards to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. We may also disclose personal information to third party business partners with whom we collaborate but who do not act on our behalf, such as event partners, sponsors, and state bar offices.

Information Security

AGG understands that the security of your personal information is important. AGG has implemented reasonable and appropriate security measures designed to protect your personal information, including physical, technical, and procedural safeguards. While AGG strives to protect your personal information, we cannot eliminate every possible risk. The Internet is not 100% secure and even the strongest security measures cannot be guaranteed to prevent the unauthorized acts of third parties.

Retention of Personal Information

AGG may retain personal information we collect for the time period required to fulfill the legitimate business purposes for which it was collected and to engage in the disclosure practices outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a different retention period is required by applicable law, or to otherwise fulfill a legal obligation or protect our legal rights.
