Last Updated. May 8, 2021

SUPERNUS BUSINESS & LAW CENTER, LLC (SUPERNUS) values its users’ privacy. This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) will help you understand how we collect and use personal information from those who visit our website or make use of our online resources and services, and what we will and will not do with the information we collect. Our Privacy Policy has been designed and created to ensure those affiliated with SUPERNUS of our commitment and recognition of our obligation to meet, and exceed, most existing privacy standards. SUPERNUS complies with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003, as amended 2011, as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation in place from 25th May 2018. This Privacy Policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.

We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any given time. If you want to make sure that you are up to date with the latest changes, we advise you to frequently visit this page. If at any point in time SUPERNUS decides to make use of any personally identifiable information on file, in a manner substantially different from that which was stated when this information was initially collected, the user or users shall be promptly notified by email. Users at that time shall have the option to permit the use of their information in this separate manner or to remove their information (see below).

This Privacy Policy applies to SUPERNUS, and it governs any and all data collection and usage by us. By using www.SupernusLaw.com, you are consenting to the data collection procedures expressed in this Privacy Policy.

Please note that this Privacy Policy does not govern the collection and use of information by third parties not controlled by SUPERNUS, which includes companies that SUPERNUS does not control, and individuals not employed or managed by us. If you visit a website that we mention or link to, you should review its privacy policy before providing the site with information. It is highly recommended and suggested that you review the privacy policies and statements of any website you choose to use or frequent to better understand the way in which websites gather, make use of, and share the information collected.

Specifically, this Privacy Policy will inform you of the following:

1.      What personally identifiable information is collected from you through our website;

2.      Why we collect personally identifiable information and the legal basis for such collection;

3.      How we use the collected information and with whom it may be shared;

4.      What choices are available to you regarding the use of your data; and

5.      The security procedures in place to protect the misuse of your information.

 

Information We Collect

It is always up to you whether to disclose personally identifiable information to us. However, if you elect not to do so, we reserve the right not to register you as a user or provide you with any products or services. This website collects various types of information, such as:

In addition, SUPERNUS may have the occasion to collect non-personal anonymous demographic information, such as gender, age, household income, political affiliation, religious affiliation, and race, as well as the IP address, the type of browser you are using, or type of operating system, which will assist us in providing and maintaining superior quality service.

SUPERNUS may also deem it necessary, from time to time, to follow websites that our users may frequent to understand what types of services and products may be the most popular to our customers or the general public.

This site will only collect personal information that you knowingly and willingly provide to us by way of surveys, completed membership forms, and emails. It is the intent of this site to use personal information only for the purpose for which it was requested, and any additional uses specifically provided for on this Privacy Policy. 

 

Why We Collect Information and For How Long

We are collecting your data for several reasons:

• To better understand your needs and provide you with the services you have requested;
• To fulfill our legitimate interest in improving our services and products;
• To send you promotional emails containing information we think you may like when we have your consent to do so;
• To contact you to fill out surveys or participate in other types of market research, when we have your consent to do so;
• To customize our website according to your online behavior and personal preferences.

The data we collect from you will be stored for no longer than necessary. The length of time we retain said information will be determined based upon the following criteria: the length of time your personal information remains relevant; the length of time it is reasonable to keep records to demonstrate that we have fulfilled our duties and obligations; any limitation periods within which claims might be made; any retention periods prescribed by law or recommended by regulators, professional bodies or associations; the type of contract we have with you, the existence of your consent, and our legitimate interest in keeping such information as stated in this Privacy Policy.

 

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies may be either “persistent” cookies or “session” cookies: a persistent cookie will be stored by a web browser and will remain valid until its set expiry date, unless deleted by the user before the expiry date; a session cookie, on the other hand, will expire at the end of the user session, when the web browser is closed.

Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies.

We use both session and persistent cookies on our website. Cookies are used for the following purposes:

• Identifying users when they sign into a website, allowing them to see a customized version and therefore eliminating the need to re-enter their log-in details.

• In Firefox (version 24) you can block all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Options”, “Privacy”, selecting “Use custom settings for history” from the drop-down menu, and unticking “Accept cookies from sites”; and
• In Chrome (version 29), you can block all cookies by accessing the “Customize and control” menu, and clicking “Settings”, “Show advanced settings” and “Content settings”, and then selecting “Block sites from setting any data” under the “Cookies” heading.

Blocking all cookies will have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites. If you block cookies, you will not be able to use all the features on our website.

You can delete cookies already stored on your computer; for example:

If you consent or show interest in presented offers, then, at that time, specific identifiable information, such as name, email address and/or telephone number, may be shared with the third party.

SUPERNUS may find it beneficial to all our customers to share specific data with our trusted partners in an effort to conduct statistical analysis, provide you with email and/or postal mail, deliver support and/or arrange for deliveries to be made. Those third parties shall be strictly prohibited from making use of your personal information, other than to deliver those services which you requested, and as such they are required, in accordance with this agreement, to maintain the strictest of confidentiality with regards to all your information.

SUPERNUS uses various third-party social media features including but not limited to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Reddit and other interactive programs.  These may collect your IP address and require cookies to work properly.  These services are governed by the privacy policies of the providers and are not within SUPERNUS’s control.

SUPERNUS does not now, nor will it in the future, sell, rent or lease any of its customer lists and/or names to any third parties.

Notice to European Union Users

SUPERNUS‘s operations are located primarily in the United States. If you provide information to us, the information will be transferred out of the European Union (EU) and sent to the United States. (The adequacy decision on the EU-US Privacy became operational on August 1, 2016. This framework protects the fundamental rights of anyone in the EU whose personal data is transferred to the United States for commercial purposes. It allows the free transfer of data to companies that are certified in the US under the Privacy Shield.) By providing personal information to us, you are consenting to its storage and use as described in this Privacy Policy.

 

Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) of the EU you have certain rights as a Data Subject. These rights are as follows:

• The right to be informed: We must inform you of how we intend to use your personal data. We do this through the terms of this Privacy Policy.
• The right of access: You have the right to request access to the data we hold about you. You can request access by sending an email to admin@SupernusLaw.com. We must respond to your request within one month.
• The right to rectification: If you believe some of the data we hold is incorrect, you have the right to have it corrected. You can correct this data by logging into your account with us or by sending us an email with your request.
• The right to erasure: You can request that the information we hold be deleted. We will comply unless we have a compelling reason not to, in which case you will be informed of our refusal. You can request your information be deleted by sending an email to admin@SupernusLaw.com.
• The right to restrict processing: You can change your communication preferences or opt-out of certain communications by sending an email to admin@SupernusLaw.com.

We also have protocols in place in the unlikely event that we suffer a data breach and we will contact you if your personal information is ever at risk. For more details regarding our security protections see the section below (Security) or visit our website at www.SupernusLaw.com.

 

Security

SUPERNUS will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (e.g. credit card information), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.

While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of the user’s personal information under our control.

You acknowledge that the transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data sent over the internet. You are responsible for keeping the password you use for accessing our website confidential; we will not ask you for your password (except when you log in to our website).

The company also uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for authentication and private communications to build users’ trust and confidence in the internet and website use by providing simple and secure access and communication of credit card and personal information. In addition, SUPERNUS may also be secured by other third-parties and/or products.

 

Acceptance of Terms

By using this website, you are accepting the terms and conditions stipulated within the Privacy Policy Agreement. If you are not in agreement with our terms and conditions, then you should immediately cease further use of our sites. In addition, your continued use of our website following the posting of any updates or changes to our terms and conditions shall mean that you agree and accept such changes.
