These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to monitor website traffic and analyze trends. In order to track your session usage, Google drops a cookie (_ga) with a randomly-generated ClientID in your browser. This ID is anonymous. We also send Google your IP Address. We use GA to track aggregated website behavior, such as what pages you looked at, for how long, and so on. This information is important to us for improving the user experience and determining site effectiveness. If you would like to access what browsing information we have – or ask us to delete any GA data – please reach out to us via at mhlranalytics@gmail.com. You can also install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On to stop future Google Analytics tracking.
We may also use other third-party tools to provide similar information.
Information You Voluntarily Provide
While using this website, you may choose to provide us with information. For example, you may send us electronic mail (through a mailer or a Web form) to request information, sign up for a mailing list, or send us your address so we may send you information about the law review. Any personally identifiable information you send us will be used only for the purpose indicated. Requests for information will be directed to the appropriate staff to respond to the request and may be recorded to help us update our site to better respond to similar requests. We will not sell, exchange, or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information without your consent, except to the extent required by law. We do not retain the information longer than necessary for normal operations. Each Web page requesting information discloses the purpose of that information. If you do not wish to have the information used in that manner, you are not required to provide it. Please contact the person listed on the specific page, or listed below, with questions or concerns about the use of personally identifiable information.

In particular, external sites are not bound by our online privacy policy; they may have their own policies or none at all. Often you can tell you are leaving our website by noting the URL of the destination site.

Who we share your data with

How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Email sign-up information and anonymous Google Analytics information is retained indefinitely.
