INFORMATION H&H COLLECTS and HOW H&H MAY USE IT
"Personally identifiable information" is any information that identifies or can be used to identify, contact, or locate the person to whom such information pertains. Personally identifiable information collected by H&H will be subject to the version of the NWPP in effect at the time it was collected.
H&H collects information two ways when you interact with the Website: Information automatically collected when you use the Website and information you provide on the Website.
Automatically Collected Information
When you access the Website, our web servers automatically log information about visits to the Website. For example, when you visit the Website, server logs automatically record statistical information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address and other traffic data.
No personally identifiable information about you is revealed in this process.
This information may be used by H&H to administer the Website, to analyze its usage, to protect the Website and its content from inappropriate use, and to improve your experience. Traffic and transaction information may also be shared with third parties on an aggregate and anonymous basis.
Information You Provide
The only personally identifiable information collected by H&H's Website is your email address, which you deliberately choose to provide. Providing your email address and/or any content, whether or not you consider either or both confidential, does not unilaterally create an attorney-client relationship between you and H&H.
H&H will use your email address to respond to your email if, in H&H's discretion, it decides to do so. H&H reserves the right not to read or to respond to any unsolicited email communication via the Website.
If H&H chooses to respond to your email, it does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and H&H.
To be clear, neither an email from you to H&H via the Website nor an email response from H&H will establish an attorney-client relationship between you and H&H. No attorney-client relationship exists between you and H&H unless and until an attorney with H&H expressly agrees in writing that the firm will undertake to represent you.
Therefore, if you are not a client, any unsolicited information you transmit to H&H via the Website can be used by H&H for any purpose whether or not you consider the information confidential or sensitive. H&H does not agree to maintain the secrecy of any unsolicited information you send to H&H.
WHO HAS ACCESS TO PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE VIA THE WEBSITE
Even though no attorney-client relationship exists between you and H&H unless and until an attorney with H&H expressly agrees in writing that the firm will undertake to represent you, H&H does not sell, rent, or lease your email address to others.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, H&H cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to or from the Website, and you do so at your own risk and subject to the disclaimers of liability in this NWPP.
HOW TO CONTACT H&H
If you have any questions, concerns, or complaints related to this NWPP and/or H&H's privacy practices, please contact James A. Harris, III, "Jamey" Harris via email at jamey@harris-harris.com or via mail at 2501 20th Place South, Suite 450, Birmingham, Alabama 35223.

Harris, III, "Jamey" Harris, who may be contacted via email at jamey@harris-harris.com or via mail at 2501 20th Place South, Suite 450, Birmingham, Alabama 35223, which is H&H's only location.
