This Privacy Policy describes how Kronenberger Rosenfeld, LLP (“Kronenberger Rosenfeld,” the “firm,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares personal information of users who visit this website (the “Website”) or otherwise submit a case submission to us. This Privacy Policy does not apply to Kronenberger Rosenfeld's collection of information by any other means, including without limitation from its clients in the course of representing them.
Each time you (“You” or “Your”) use the Website, the then-current version of this Privacy Policy will apply. We encourage You to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. IF AT ANY TIME YOU FIND THIS PRIVACY POLICY UNACCEPTABLE, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY LEAVE THE WEBSITE. Unless Kronenberger Rosenfeld obtains Your express consent, any revised Privacy Policy will apply only to information collected after the date of the revised Privacy Policy.
