Personal Information Collection and Use

Many areas of our Sites can be browsed anonymously. However in order to take advantage of certain features, such as submitting a request to receive news emails or a request for contact, we may collect certain information. This information may include your name, e-mail address, company name, address, fax or telephone number. We also collect personal information, including payment information, from individuals who wish to donate to Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, Inc. online through our online giving program on our websites.

If you would like to contact Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma or provide feedback from any Legal Aid website, then we request your name and e-mail address. We do not provide legal advice from online requests by responding to your email. For inquiries about legal services, please contact our Application Line at 1-888-534-5243.

We use the personally identifiable information you submit to respond to your request, to otherwise help us in processing your request, or as otherwise described on our Sites. We also use the information you submit for other business purposes, including, from time to time, using your email address to send you information about legal developments in which we think you may be interested, about Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, our websites, or other products or services we offer, or to request your assistance in supporting our organization. Personal Information is used by Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma to assist in serving you more effectively, to improve the content of our Website, and to maintain e-mailing lists of subscribers.

Some of the personal information you submit may be accessible to other registered users. For example, if you work for a legal services or public interest program and have registered on one of our sites, your name, e-mail address and work phone number may be accessed by other registered users who also work for a legal services or public interest program. If you do not wish to have your information shared with other users as described in this policy or as described online, you should not register at our Sites.

As part of our regular business conduct we share information with third parties who help us deliver your requested services. We also will share your information in the event that there is a change of corporate ownership. We may also share information if we believe we are legally obligated to do so, including with government officials in order to cooperate with a legitimate investigation. We may also combine the information you submit to us with information we have collected from you in other forums, such as through emails or offline, or with publicly available information or information we obtain from third parties. We will also share information with a third party if we are jointly providing services with that business partner.
