Like most website operators, the Edgett Law Firm collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Edgett Law Firm purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Edgett Law Firm visitors use its website. From time to time, the Edgett Law Firm may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

In each case, the Edgett Law Firm collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with the Edgett Law Firm. Edgett Law Firm does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
