This Privacy Policy applies to information collected online from the users of the betweencases.com website. The Privacy Policy doesn’t apply to any other Thomson Reuters website and, unless expressly mentioned here, it doesn’t apply to information we may collect in any other way, including offline.
Our website may contain links to sites maintained by others. This Privacy Policy doesn’t reflect the privacy practices of those sites and if you have any questions about the privacy practices associated with those sites, please review the privacy policy posted on each site.

What Personal Information Do We Collect and How Do We Use that Information?
We collect information about our users in three ways: directly from the user, from our Web server logs, and through cookies. We use the information primarily to provide you with a personalized Internet experience that delivers the information, resources, and services that are most relevant and helpful to you. We don’t share any of the information you provide with others, unless we say so in this Privacy Policy.
User-Supplied Information: When you register for our services, we ask you to provide some personal information (such as your name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and certain employment information). We keep this information in a customer data base for future reference, as needed. We may use the information you provide to offer you products and services that we believe may be of interest to you. If you don’t wish to receive such offers, you may opt out or unsubscribe as described below.
If you contact us for customer support, we may ask you to provide information about your computer or about the issues you are trying to resolve. This information is necessary to help us answer your questions. We may record your requests and our responses for quality control purposes.
Web server logs: When you visit our website, we may track information about your visit and store that information in web server logs, which are records of the activities on our sites. Our servers automatically capture and save the information electronically. Examples of the information we may collect include:
- your unique Internet protocol address;
- the name of your unique Internet service provider;
- the city, state, and country from which you access our website;
- the kind of browser or computer you use;
- the number of links you click within the site;
- the date and time of your visit;
- the web page from which you arrived to our site;
- the pages you viewed on the site; and
- any searches that you conducted.
The information we collect in web server logs helps us administer the site and analyze its usage.
Cookies: In order to offer and provide a customized and personal service, we may use cookies to store and help track information about you. Cookies are simply small pieces of data that are sent to your browser from a Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. We use cookies to help remind us who you are and to help you navigate our sites during your visits. Cookies allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so you won't have to re-enter them each time you visit.
The use of cookies is relatively standard. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can set your browser to either notify you when you receive a cookie, or to refuse to accept cookies. You should understand that some features of many sites may not function properly if you don’t accept cookies.
How Do We Protect the Personal Information We Collect, Use and/or Retain? How Do We Protect Your Information?
We have implemented certain reasonable security measures to help protect your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. For example, we store the information about you in a data center with restricted access and appropriate monitoring and we use a variety of technical security measures to secure your data. In addition, we use sophisticated intrusion detection and virus protection software. However, please note that we can’t guarantee that unauthorized persons will always be unable to defeat our security measures.
Who Has Access to the Personal Information?
The data you provide will be stored and processed in the United States. We never sell, rent, or lease mailing lists or other customer data to others, and we don’t make your personal information available to any unaffiliated third parties except as follows:
- to agents and contractors who use it on our behalf or in connection with their relationship with us (for example, we may use third parties to help us with promotion campaigns); and
- as required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy, as needed in connection with the transfer of our business assets (for example, if we are acquired by another company or if we are liquidated during bankruptcy proceedings), or if we believe in good faith that sharing the data is necessary to protect our rights or property.
We rely on some of our affiliates for support of the products and services we offer, and we share some of our back-office functions with other Thomson Reuters companies. Our affiliates are all required to preserve the confidentiality of any personal information they may access.
We won’t disclose any information about your usage to unaffiliated third parties, except as necessary to service the account, to enforce the terms of use, to meet our obligations to content and technology providers, or as required by law.
We may use statistics regarding usage for product development purposes, but we only use those statistics in the aggregate and they don’t include any personally identifiable information about individual users.
Your access to some of our services and content is password protected. We recommend that you refrain from disclosing your password to anyone. We’ll never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail. We also recommend that you sign out of your account or service at the end of each session. You may also wish to close your browser window when you have finished your work, especially if you share a computer with someone else or if you are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
