You are entitled to request access to and correction of all your personal data collected by us via this Website, as well as to require us to delete your data from our records if you no longer want us to maintain it. You can make such a request or a related inquiry by sending an email to this address.

In the event that you publish any content through our Website that may be viewed and accessed by third parties (e.g., through messaging boards, comment areas, etc.), such third parties may collect, copy, modify, distribute, or otherwise exploit your content without your permission. You hereby agree that Piper Larson has no control over, and will not be responsible for, the extent to which such third parties collect, copy, modify, distribute, or otherwise exploit your content.
Security
Piper Larson employs reasonable measures to maintain all personally identifiable information provided by you on computer servers in a controlled and secured environment, in an effort to hinder unauthorized access, loss, alteration, use or disclosure of such information. However, the nature of the Internet is such that information may be transmitted over networks without appropriate security measures and may be accessed, deleted, altered, used or disclosed by unauthorized persons.
Because of the international nature of the services and products provided by this website and the nature of Piper Larson’s business, personal data may, subject to applicable law, be transferred internationally throughout the world. This may mean that personal data are transferred to countries which do not have laws or regulations which protect personal data, such as the United States, where the server for this website is located. We use reasonable measures to limit the disclosure of the data you provide to us only to certain staff within Piper Larson and its affiliates (i.e., staff whose job it is to process your inquiries or otherwise to administer the website, and those staff involved in the provision of Piper Larson services and products which may be of interest to you) and to require that they process the data only for the purposes identified in this policy.
For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, in view of the insecure nature of electronic mail and Internet-mediated communications, Piper Larson cannot make any representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the security of your personal information and, therefore, any provision of your personal information to Piper Larson shall be at your own risk.
