PERSONAL INFORMATION

When you submit information directly to us, we collect personal information about you by filling in forms on our website or by corresponding with us by phone, email, or in writing. Personal information is data that identifies or is associated with you. This includes information you provide when you register to use our website, use the Paper Monkey Legal Services platform, enter a competition, promotion, or survey, report a problem with our website, or use some any other services of Paper Monkey Legal Services.

We work with third party vendors(including, without limitation, sub-contractors in technical, payment, and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers, and credit reference agencies). We may receive information about you from them, subject to your agreements with them.

We automatically collect personal information about you indirectly, including, without limitation, how you access and use the Paper Monkey Legal Services website and the device you use to access the Paper Monkey Legal Services website and our services. This information includes device ID or unique identifiers, device type, geolocation info, and computer and connection information.

We may sometimes link or combine the personal information we collect and receive about you and the information we collect automatically. This allows us to provide you with a personalized experience and better service, regardless of how you interact with us.

We may anonymize and aggregate any personal information we collect (so that you can not be personally identified). We may use anonymized information to test our IT systems, research, data analysis, improve the Paper Monkey Legal Services platform, and develop new products and features. We may also share such anonymized information with others at our discretion.
