1. WHO WE ARE

ALM is a business-to-business integrated global digital media company
headquartered in the United States. We provide a range of products and services
that deliver premium content to professionals in the legal, financial services,
benefits, consulting, property and casualty insurance and real estate
industries, including publications and resources through ALM’s 30+ brands,
intelligence solutions, events, and marketing solutions.

We’re dedicated to providing our customers with market-leading critical news,
data, analysis, marketing solutions, and events that empower them to grow,
compete, and win. We take well-earned pride in our mission to connect
professionals with the information and people they need to solve the business
challenges they face every day.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The personal information that we may collect from and about you broadly falls
into the following categories.

2.1 Information we collect directly. You may provide personal information to us
through the Services – for example, when you sign up for, order, subscribe to,
or make use of any of our Services, consult with our customer service team, or
communicate with us in any way.

We may also collect personal information, such as your contact and professional
details, when you attend our events, take part in surveys, or through other
business or marketing interactions we may have with you. You may choose to
provide additional information when you communicate with us or otherwise
interact with us.

In most cases your provision of personal information to us is entirely
voluntary. However, if you fail to provide such information, we may not be able
to provide certain Services or information to you.

The personal information you provide may include:

 * Contact Information: When setting up an ALM account to access or subscribe to
   the Services, you will be asked to provide certain information, including
   contact information (such as name, address, email, or telephone number), and
   professional information (such as job title, department, or job role).
 * Financial Information: If you are paying for any of the Services (for
   example, through one of our online check-out pages), we may require you to
   provide credit card or other financial information in order to process a
   payment from you. You should never provide detailed credit card information
   directly to ALM via an unsecure form (such as email).
 * Transaction Information: We will maintain a record of your purchases,
   transactional information, your Services history, and usage. We may also
   retain your communications with us and our responses.
 * Partner Products & Services Offered on the Services: Third parties, such as
   our partners, sponsors, or advertisers whose services are promoted or
   advertised on the Services, may request that you provide personal
   information. Please see How We Share Information in Section 4 below for
   further details.
 * Research Surveys: You may elect to provide information in connection with
   research surveys in which you participate.
 * Emails to ALM: If you send us emails, you should be aware that any
   information provided in an email may not be secure or encrypted and therefore
   may be available to others. Please exercise caution if you decide to disclose
   any personal or confidential information to us in any email.
 * Job Applicants to ALM: When applying for select job postings at ALM, we will
   ask you to send us your resume or other relevant information online.
 * Lawjobs.com and LegalWeekjobs.com: When using the Lawjobs.com and
   Legalweekjobs.com Services, you may elect to send us your resume or other
   relevant information.

2.2 Information we collect automatically. When you use the Services, we (or our
third party partners) may collect information about your device and usage of the
Services. In some countries, including countries in the European Economic Area,
this information may be considered personal information under applicable data
protection laws.

We may use a variety of technologies (collectively, “Tracking Technologies”) to
collect some of this information. Our use of Tracking Technologies is discussed
in more detail in Tracking Technologies and Advertising and Analytics Services
in Section 5 below.

We may use Tracking Technologies to automatically collect the information
described below:

 * Device Information: We may collect certain information about the device you
   use to access the Services, including but not limited to IP addresses for
   your devices, unique device identifiers, browser types, and browser language.
 * User History: We may log certain usage information about your use of the
   Services, which may include a history of the pages you view. If you download
   and use any ALM software or application on your device, the log files will
   automatically be collected by the application and sent to our servers when
   your device syncs up for the latest content available.
 * Mobile/Location Information: We may collect additional information from you
   if you access the Services through a mobile device, for example we may
   collect your unique device identifier, your device’s operating system, mobile
   carrier, or your location when you opt in for us to do so. However the degree
   to which your location can be identified depends on the device you are using
   (e.g. laptop, smartphone, tablet) and how you are connected to the internet
   (e.g. via cable broadband connection, Wi-Fi, etc.). If you enable location
   services for the Services we may collect your regional location data
   periodically as you use or leave open the Services. We may also collect your
   location information from your IP address or zip code.

We may also use location data internally or in conjunction with our third party
service providers to customize your experience and provide offers that may be
relevant to you. Depending on the device you use to access the Services (e.g.
Apple™ iOS, Google™ Android, Windows, etc.) you may be able to control whether
location data is collected from the settings on your wireless device.

2.3 Information we collect from third party sources.

 * Third Party Sources: From time to time we may obtain personal information
   about you from third party sources, such as public databases, social
   networking services, third party data providers and our joint marketing
   partners. Examples of the information we may receive from third party sources
   include job title, company, location, updated contact information, and other
   demographic and professional information. We use this information, alone or
   in combination with other information (including personal information we
   collect), to enhance our ability to provide relevant marketing and content to
   you and to develop and provide you with more relevant products, features, and
   services.
 * Social Networking Accounts: When you choose to log into your ALM account
   through your LexisNexis account or social networking accounts, link your
   social networking accounts with the Services, or engage with the Services
   through the LexisNexis platform or third party social media platforms, you
   may be allowing us ongoing access to certain information stored on those
   platforms. In addition, as you interact with the Services, you may also be
   providing information about your activities to LexisNexis or the third party
   social networking platforms, as applicable. You should make sure that you are
   comfortable with the information such services may make available to us by
   visiting the applicable platforms’ privacy policies and/or modifying your
   privacy settings directly with those platforms.

3. HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may use the personal information that we collect through the Services to:

 * Provide the products and services you request, process transactions, and send
   you related information, including confirmations and receipts.
 * Provide support and improve the Services and to manage system administration
   and security.

   marketing preferences). Please see Your Choices/How to Opt Out in Section 6

4. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We may share your personal information with the following types of third parties
for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:

 * Administrator Uses: If your use of the Services is managed for you by an
   account administrator then your account administrator and resellers who
   provide user support to your organization may have access to your personal
   information (including your email and other data). Please refer to your
   account administrator’s privacy policy for more information.
 * Partner Products & Services Offered on the ALM Services: If you provide
   personal information in order to access products or services of third
   parties, such as our partners, sponsors or advertisers, that are offered or
   promoted on or through the Services, you may be providing your information to
   both ALM and the third party. For example, when you enter your personal
   information in order to download a white paper offered by a partner on the
   Services, both ALM and the partner may receive your personal information.
   Your personal information will be subject to this Privacy Policy as well as
   the privacy policy and practices of such third party. ALM is not responsible
   for and this Privacy Policy does not cover such third party’s use of your
   personal information.
 * Sharing Information with Marketing Partners: ALM selectively makes its postal
   mailing address list and email list, for customers in the United States,
   available to third party partners so that they may provide you with
   information about product or service offerings, events or promotions, which
   may be of interest to you. You may opt-out of having such information shared
   for this purpose. Please see Your Choices/How to Opt-Out in Section 6 below.
 * Third Parties Providing Functionality: We also work with third parties to
   provide certain functionalities on the Services and to improve the
   effectiveness of the Services and its content. Separate and distinct from
   information ALM shares with third parties, third party companies may also use
   Tracking Technologies to independently collect and store information about
   you and your usage of the Services and may combine this information with
   information they collect from other sources. Please note, we do not control
   Tracking Technologies used by third parties, and their use of such Tracking
   Technologies may be governed by their own privacy policies.
 * Third Party Event Sponsors: When you register for an ALM event (including any
   webinars and recognition dinners), we may share the information you provide,
   such as your name, company name, postal address and email address, with third
   parties who are sponsoring the event. You may opt-out of having such
   information shared for this purpose, as described in greater detail in Your
   Choices/How to Opt Out in Section 6 below.
 * Mobile Carriers: If you access the Services through a device or app, we may
   share your information with mobile carriers, operating systems, and
   platforms.
 * LawJobs and LegalWeek Jobs: If you upload your resume onto Lawjobs.com or
   LegalWeekjobs.com, we will share your resume with prospective employers when
   you apply to a specific job or have given us consent to share your resume via
   our employer database.
 * Compliance with Law: ALM may release information if it is required to do so
   by law or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to: (1)
   comply with the law or comply with legal process served on ALM; (2) protect
   and defend the legitimate business interests, rights or property of ALM, its
   users, advertisers, customers, sponsors, advertisers, or affiliates; and (3)
   if we believe your actions are inconsistent with our Terms of Use or
   policies.
 * Service Providers: Sometimes we need to share your information with our
   third-party service providers, who help us provide and support the Services
   and other business functions. For example, we use service providers to assist
   with the following: analyzing data, hosting data, engaging technical support,
   processing payments, delivering content, mailing statements to subscribers,
   email distribution, and providing customer service.
 * Advertising Partners: We may partner with third party advertising networks
   and exchanges to display advertising on our websites or to manage and serve
   our advertising on other sites and may share your personal information with
   them for this purpose. Please see more information in Your Choices/How to Opt
   Out in Section 6 below.
 * Organizational Changes: Should ALM undergo a sale, merger, consolidation,
   change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization, or
   liquidation, ALM’s accumulated customer information will be treated as an
   asset and, like other business assets, subject to transfer to or acquisition
   by a third party. We may also disclose information about our users in
   connection with a commercial transaction where we, or any one of our
   businesses, is seeking financing, investment, support, or funding.
 * With Your Consent or at Your Direction.

5. TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND ADVERTISING AND ANALYTICS SERVICES

 * Targeted Advertising: We and our third party partners and vendors may use
   Tracking Technologies, such as cookies, pixels, and web beacons and collect
   and store information about you when you use or interact with our Services,
   marketing communications, advertising content and/or third party websites, in
   order to provide you with targeted advertising based on your browsing
   activities and interests. These third parties automatically receive your IP
   address or mobile device identifier when you access the Services or third
   party websites. They may also use Tracking Technologies to measure the
   effectiveness of advertisements, to personalize the advertising content, and
   to serve you advertisements that are relevant to your regional location. We
   may also use information collected using third party cookies and beacons on
   the Services and in our emails to deliver advertising about our Services when
   you visit third party websites. To find out more about our use of Tracking
   Technologies as well as how to manage your preferences please see our
   Tracking Technologies Notice.
 * Analytics and Ad Serving: Google, Tealium and Site Catalyst are some of the
   companies that we use to serve advertising and perform analytics on some of
   the Services. When you access the Services, our third-party vendors,
   including Google, use third-party cookies (such as the Google DoubleClick
   cookie) to serve you ads based on your previous visit to our website and
   other websites. To learn more about your choices and in particular Google’s
   currently available opt-outs for the Web, please see Your Choices/How to Opt
   Out in Section 6 below.
 * Cross Device Tracking: We (and our third party service providers) also use
   Tracking Technologies that recognize and collect usage information and
   information about the devices you use to connect with our Services and third
   party websites. When these tools are enabled, the data that we and our
   third-party service providers collect about these devices is used to enable
   delivery of product recommendations, advertising, or other promotional
   materials across your devices that are more relevant information to you, or
   to measure the effectiveness of our Services and advertising. They
   automatically receive your IP address or mobile device identifier when you
   connect to the Services or third party websites. This data may be combined
   with the same information from another browser or device if you use multiple
   browsers or devices. You may opt-out of this type of tracking/information
   collection by clicking here. This opt-out applies to the specific
   device/browser combination on which you are browsing, so you will need to
   opt-out on each device and browser separately. Please note opting out of
   targeted advertising does not opt you out of being served ads. You will
   continue to receive untargeted generic ads.

6. YOUR CHOICES/HOW TO OPT OUT

     subscriber communications by email, we may continue to send you subscriber
     communications by direct mail.

     surveys conducted by ALM’s Intelligence division that are sent by email by
     using the opt-out link contained in such emails. In addition, you may elect

     partners by unsubscribing from third party partner emails on your email

   you of ALM programs, products, and services in which you may be interested.
   If you want to opt out of receiving marketing communications via postal mail
   from ALM in the future, please send an email to customercare@alm.com. Please
   note that even if you opt out of receiving marketing communications by postal
   mail, we may continue to send you transactional communications about your
   subscription or orders by postal mail.

   receive push notifications so that we can send you updates, communications,
   and other messages about the Services. To opt out of getting these push
   notifications or other messages, you must turn off the push notification
   function in your device settings.
 * Sharing with Third Party Partners: ALM selectively makes its postal mailing
   address list and email list of customers available to third parties whose
   products or service offerings may be of interest to you. If you do not wish
   for ALM to provide either your postal mailing or email information (or both)
   to third parties for this purpose, please send us a notice using the contact

   preferences.

   information you supply when you register for an event (including any webinars
   and recognition dinners), such as your name, company name, postal address, or
   email address, with the event’s sponsors, please specify this in an email to
   mktgevents@alm.com.
 * Turning Off Tracking Technologies: You can choose to have your computer warn
   you each time a persistent or session cookie is being sent, or you can choose
   to turn off such cookies through your browser settings. Each browser is a
   little different, so look at your browser’s Help menu to learn the correct
   way to modify your cookies. However, cookie management tools provided by your
   browser will not remove Flash cookies and may not disable HTML5 storage. To
   learn how to manage privacy and storage settings for Flash cookies, please
   click here. To learn more about HTML5 storage, see our Tracking Technologies
   Notice. It is important to remember that many of ALM’s services may not
   function properly if your cookies are disabled. For example, ALM needs
   first-party cookies to log you in to the Services that require registration
   or a subscription. In that case, you may set your browser to block
   third-party cookies and allow ALM’s first-party cookies only.
 * “Do Not Track” Signals: Some third party browsers provide “do not track”
   machine readable signals for websites which are automatically applied by
   default and therefore do not necessarily reflect our visitor’s choice as to
   whether they wish to receive advertisements tailored to their interests. As a
   result, at this time, ALM does not respond to browser “do not track” signals
   or other similar mechanisms. Go to http://www.networkadvertising.org or
   http://www.aboutads.info if you wish to learn more about your options to not
   accept tracking cookies for the purpose of receiving targeted interest-based
   advertisements. Please note that the-opt out is cookie-based and will only
   affect the specific computer and browser on which the opt-out is applied.
 * Network Advertising Initiative: Some of our advertising service providers may
   be members of the Network Advertising Initiative, which offers a single
   location to opt out of ad targeting from member companies. If you opt-out of
   receiving targeted ads in this manner, you will continue to receive
   advertising messages from us, but other members of the Network Advertising
   Initiative will not be able to target you based on your use of the Services
   and/or third party websites. If you would like more information about
   advertisers’ use of tracking technologies and about your option not to accept
   these cookies, you can go here. If you would like to learn more about how
   interest-based information is collected and to know your choices about not
   having your information used in this manner, you can go here.
 * Google Opt-Outs: Google is one of the companies that we use to serve
   advertising and perform analytics on some of the Services. To learn about
   Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs for the Web, click here. To
   learn more about how Google uses cookies in advertising, you can visit the
   Google Advertising Privacy & Terms policy located here. You can opt out of
   receiving interest-based Google ads, or customize the ads Google shows you,
   by clicking here. ALM also uses third party services for remarketing ALM’s
   products and services, such as Google’s Customer Match via the Google
   platform, whereby we will deliver targeted ads to you based on your prior
   usage on the Services. If you want to opt-out of remarketing, please email us
   at ALMLegal@alm.com.

preferences, email marketing preferences and alert preferences by logging into
your online account and going to your preference center here. You may also

8. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

Code Section 1798.83). Under the California “Shine The Light” law, California
residents may opt-out of ALM’s disclosure of personal information to third
parties for their direct marketing purposes. Any California resident may choose

marketing purposes at any time by directing such request to ALMLegal@alm.com.

9. LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

ALM is not responsible for the content or the privacy policies of websites to
which it may link. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected
by ALM. You should consult the respective privacy policies of any applicable
third parties to learn more about their privacy practices.

10. HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SECURE

To help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the
appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate technical,
organizational, physical, electronic, and managerial procedures designed to
protect the information we collect. Specific measures we use include installing
anti-intrusion hardware and firewalls, conducting penetration testing and virus
scans, monitoring Operating System and software logs and applying software
patches. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security
appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.

Please understand, however, that while we try our best to safeguard your
personally identifiable information once we receive it, no transmission of data
over the Internet or any social media or other public network can be guaranteed
to be 100% secure.

To help protect the privacy of your own information, including maintaining the
confidentiality of any account information or access credentials, we recommend
you take precautions to protect the security of any personal information that
you transmit over any public or untrusted network by using encryption and other
techniques to prevent unauthorized persons from intercepting or receiving any of
your personally identifiable information. You are responsible for the security
of your information when using unencrypted, open access, public or otherwise
unsecured networks.

11. CHILDREN

Our Services are directed at a general audience and not directed to those under
the age of 18. ALM asks that minors not submit any personal information. ALM
does not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years
of age and if we obtain actual knowledge that a user is under 18 years of age,
we will take steps to remove that individual’s personal information from our
systems.

12. HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN YOUR INFORMATION?

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing
legitimate business need to do so. For example, we retain information in order
to provide you with services, to comply with applicable legal, tax, or
accounting requirements, and to enforce our agreements, prevent fraud, assist
with investigations, resolve disputes, analyze or troubleshoot programs, enforce
our terms of use, or take other actions permitted by law. We may also retain
information to prevent re-registration in the event that your account has been
suspended or terminated or to create an archival copy of your information, which
might be used by us for record keeping and internal purposes.

13. ADDITIONAL NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA (EEA)

13.1 Your Data Protection Rights

 * You may request access to or ask us to correct, update, or delete your
   personal information. You can update account information by logging into your
   online account and updating your contact and profile information. You also
   can view, change, or update your editorial newsletter preferences, email
   marketing preferences, and alert preferences by logging into your online
   account and going to your preference center here. However, if you don’t have
   an account with us or want to contact us directly about accessing,
   correcting, updating, or deleting your personal information or changing your
   marketing preferences, you can do so at any time by contacting us using the

   Section 16.
 * Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with
   your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your

   to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal
   information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than
   consent.



 * You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our
   collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please
   contact your local data protection authority (contact details for data

your request.

13.2 Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information

 * If you are a resident of the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using
   the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the
   personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect
   it.
 * However, we will normally collect personal information from you where the
   processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data
   protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Typically, our
   legitimate interests include: improving, maintaining, providing, and
   enhancing our technology, products, content, and services; ensuring the
   security of the Services; and conducting marketing activities.



 * If you have signed up for the Services on your own behalf, we may need your
   personal information to perform a contract with you. In some limited cases,
   we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.
 * Where required by law, we will collect your personal information only where
   we have your consent to do so.

   legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please

13.3 International Data Transfers

 * The Services are operated in the United States. If you are located anywhere
   outside of the United States (including in the EEA), please be aware that
   information we collect, including personal information, will be transferred
   to, processed and stored in the United States. The data protection laws in
   the United States may differ from those of the country in which you are
   located, and your personal information may be subject to access requests from
   governments, courts, or law enforcement in the United States according to the
   laws of the United States.



 * However, we have taken appropriate safeguards to require that your personal
   information will remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
   These include implementing the European Commission’s Standard Contractual
   Clauses for transfers of personal information between our group companies,
   which require all group companies to protect personal information they
   process from the EEA in accordance with European data protection law. Our
   standard Contractual Clauses can be provided upon request by contacting us at
   ALMLegal@alm.com. We have implemented similar appropriate safeguards with our
   third-party service providers and partners and further details can be
   provided upon request.
