Last updated: November 2025
Lerner David LLP (“us”, “we”, or “our”) understands the importance of your privacy and we are committed to protecting your privacy and personal information.
This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes the types of personal information we collect online, at https://www.lernerdavid.com (“Site”), and offline, how we use your personal information, and, as applicable, the choices and rights available to you regarding our use of your personal information. We also describe the measures we take to protect the security of your personal information, how long we retain it, how to contact us about our privacy practices, and how to exercise your rights.
By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
1. Collection of Personal Information
- a. Types of personal information collected
The types of Personal Information that we may collect while you use the Site or through your other interactions with us, such as in person or through electronic communication, are described in this section and include both information that you provide to us and information that we collect automatically when you use the Site.
For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that identifies you or that could reasonably be used to identify you. Examples of Personal Information include name, address, telephone number, and email address. Personal Information may also include information collected when you use the Site, to the extent such information could reasonably be used to identify you.
Through your interactions with us, we may collect various personal identifiers including your name, physical address, email address and phone number. We may also collect other personal identifiers in context appropriate circumstances when you enter into an agreement with us for the provision of our services.
We may collect from you (including through our third-party service providers) information that relates to your activities on the Site. For example, we might track information about the date and time you access the Site, the type of web browser you use, and/or the website from which you connect to our Site.
We may also collect information from your activities on the Site for the purpose of providing streamlined access to Site features. To do so, we use the tracking technologies listed below and other similar technologies.
- IP Address and Clickstream Data
Our servers automatically collect data about your server’s Internet Protocol address, i.e., IP Address, when you visit our Site. When you view pages on our Site, our servers may record or “log” your IP Address and, sometimes, other information provided by your device. Our server may also record the page that linked you to us, as well as related information (including any ads on which you may have clicked). Such information is sometimes referred to as clickstream data.
We may use cookies on the Site and in our communications with you to keep track of your visit to the Site and our communications with you. A “cookie” is a small amount of data sent from a web server to your browser and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Other tracking technologies we may use work similarly to cookies and place a small amount of data on your device to monitor your website activity to allow us to collect information about how you use the Site and our services.
With most web browsers, you can remove cookies from your computer, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored on your computer. Further information may be found at https://www.aboutcookies.org. Your browser may also include information on cookie management. Keep in mind that certain functionalities of the Site may be hindered or rendered inoperative if your browser is configured not to accept cookies.
At the present time, the Site does not recognize or respond to browser do-not-track signals.
- b. How personal information is collected
We may collect personal information when you visit the Site or when you communicate with us through means other than the Site. Personal information may be collected in different ways, including: your provision of personal information to us; our collection of personal information from you automatically through your interaction with the Site; and our collection of personal information through other sources. These other sources may be service providers, publicly available sources, or other third parties with whom you interact or do business. For example, if you choose to follow us with your social media account, the Site may provide us with certain information from your social media account as permitted by your account settings.
2. Use of Personal Information

If you are a resident of such a jurisdiction, for example, California, Texas or Nebraska, you have the right to request that we provide you with information, including Personal Information, that we collect, use or disclose, and you also have the right to request that we correct or delete such information to the extent it is collected or maintained by us.
