The goal of US Bar Association is to provide a rich array of information and online search directory for members and the public. To do this effectively, certain user data may be collected and/or reviewed so that we can understand our users and in turn make US Bar Association more and more relevant to each individual user. Information about members and the public is used in different ways, as outlined below.

Information collected from both members and the public includes:

Server log information: When you visit US Bar Association or any other website, you are identifiable as a unique number, called an IP address. Your IP address is automatically collected in server logs. We use this information to help diagnose problems with our server and to analyze server traffic to learn which pages on US Bar Association receive more or fewer visitors. This information is anonymous and cannot be traced back to a specific individual. The server log also can tell us which browser you are using (i.e. Internet Explorer or Safari), and the name of the website that referred you to our site.

Cookies: These are text files which our website places on your computer's hard drive to keep track of your preferences. We may use cookies to personalize your experience on US Bar Association. That is, cookies may help us remember who you are and deliver content and services based on your personal preferences.

User-supplied information: Current and future services on US Bar Association, may require that you give us your name, email address, or other personal information. By providing this information, you can and will be able to transact business via the Internet which in the past required telephone or mail contact with the Bar. These online services are provided as a convenience to our members, and allow the State Bar to provide you with efficient and high-quality service at a lower cost.

Access to some services is protected by a password. We recommend that you not divulge your password to anyone.

We have security measures in place that are intended to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of information under our control.
