About ChanRobles™ LawTube and the Information We Collect:

Profile Information submitted by Members to ChanRobles™ LawTube

ChanRobles™ LawTube is an online social networking community that connects people through networks of friends for communicating, sharing and making new friends. To accomplish this, each ChanRobles™ LawTube Member creates his or her own profile, which contains the personal information that the Member chooses to include. This personal information includes such things as:

i. First name or first and last names of the Member (depending on the options selected by the Member);

ii. Gender, age, marital status and other, similar personal information;

iii. Occupation;

iv. Schools attended or companies with whom the Member is associated;

Other Information submitted by Members to ChanRobles™ LawTube:

ChanRobles™ LawTube also collects Member-submitted account information such as name and email address to identify Members, send notifications related to the use of the ChanRobles™ LawTube service and conduct market research and marketing for ChanRobles™ LawTube's internal use only. You should also be aware that Members may reveal other personal information while communicating on other areas of the ChanRobles™ LawTube website, e.g., while participating in discussions on ChanRobles™ LawTube Groups and/or posting information on ChanRobles™ LawTube Blogs. This information, in turn, might be viewed by other Members or visitors to the ChanRobles™ LawTube website who are not Members.

Information Not Directly Submitted by Members or Other Website Users to ChanRobles™ LawTube

Finally, we also collect some information from Members, as well as from other visitors to the ChanRobles™ LawTube website, that is not personally identifiable, such as browser type and IP address. This information is gathered from all Members and visitors to the website.

Use of Information Obtained by ChanRobles™ LawTube Sharing by Members of Profile Information:

The personal information of a Member contained in his or her profile will be shown to those people whom the Member chooses. Each Member has three options when choosing the level of sharing of his or her profile. They are:

i. "Friends" which consists only of that Member's friends;

ii. "Friends of Friends" which consists of that Member's friends, as well as the extended group of people who are friends of that Member's friends; and

iii. "Anyone" which is all visitors to the ChanRobles™ LawTube website, whether or not they are ChanRobles™ LawTube members.

PLEASE NOTE THAT, REGARDLESS OF WHAT PERSONAL INFORMATION A MEMBER CHOOSES TO INCLUDE IN HIS OR HER PROFILE, OR WHAT LEVEL OF SHARING HE OR SHE CHOOSES, CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT EACH MEMBER WILL BE INCLUDED IN THAT MEMBER'S "PUBLIC PROFILE," WHICH IS AN ABBREVIATED VERSION OF A ChanRobles™ LawTube PROFILE. A LIST OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN EACH PUBLIC PROFILE CAN BE FOUND IN THE ChanRobles™ LawTube TERMS OF SERVICE. CLICK HERE TO SEE A SAMPLE PUBLIC PROFILE.

iv. If the Member so chooses, when we send regular notifications, weekly updates, or other news regarding the ChanRobles™ LawTube service or the ChanRobles™ LawTube website.

Except when inviting or adding friends or as otherwise expressly set forth herein, a Member's email address will never be shared with or displayed to any other person. Members and their friends, and other Members within their personal networks (depending on the level of sharing a Member has chosen) communicate on ChanRobles™ LawTube with each other through the ChanRobles™ LawTube service, without disclosing email addresses.

ChanRobles™ LawTube's Use of Members' Information

We use information relating to each Member's server information, IP address, and browser-type.
