The following Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information and the steps we take to protect your privacy.

Information provided by you
When you complete the Severance Pay Calculator on this website, you have the option of filling out a contact form. This form also exists on our “contact us” page. The data added to that form (name, email, telephone number, your specific severance pay calculations) will be collected.
If you subscribe to our newsletter via a link on this website, the personal data you enter on the Mailchimp newsletter landing page will be collected. Data included will be your name, email address, and location (used to determine which type of location content you would like to receive).
How We Use Your Information
Samfiru Tumarkin LLP uses your personal information only for the reasons for which it was collected. We periodically review our data collection and usage practices in order to guarantee that the data we collect is used to provide or improve our services.
When you provide your personal information through a contact form on this website, we will only use that data to respond to your request to be contacted by our firm, and to provide our staff with a better understanding of your current situation.

We also use the data for marketing purposes to determine how to better provide you with the information you seek.
Options for Personal Information
If we propose to use your personal information for any purpose other than what is laid out in the Privacy Policy or other statements on this website or correspondence from this website, we will provide a way for you to opt out of that use. We do not collect personal information for use beyond the terms laid out in this privacy policy.
You have the ability to opt out of our newsletters after you have signed up. You also have the right to use the Pocket Employment Lawyer without providing us with your personal contact information (name, phone number, email address).
