e-mail-based newsletters and other information that our clients or others
contacting us may request, as well as to notify those persons from time to
time of services offered by Nelson & Booth. With Whom We Share Information Nelson &
Booth does not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our clients
or former clients to anyone, except as is permitted or required by law or our
professional ethics. “Permitted”
disclosures include, for instance, providing information to our employees
and, in limited situations, to unrelated third parties who need to know
information in order to assist us in providing legal services to our clients.
In all such situations, Nelson & Booth stresses the confidential nature
of any information shared and we will generally not supply any such
information without first consulting our client about disclosure. We restrict
access to all nonpublic personal information we possess about our clients and
others contacting us for representation to those employees who need to know
that information in order to provide products or services to our clients and
others contacting us for representation. “Required” disclosures include,
for instance, information that must be provided to courts and adverse parties
when it is necessary under court rule or in context of the discovery process
of litigation or transactional matters that are being handled by the firm on
a client’s behalf. We may disclose information about our
clients and others contacting us for representation if we have a good-faith
belief that we are required to do so by law or legal process, to respond to
claims, or to protect the rights, property or safety of employees of Nelson
& Booth or others. Protecting the Confidentiality and
Security of Current and Former Client's Information We retain records
relating to professional services that we provide so that we are better able
to assist our clients and potential clients with their professional needs
and, in some cases, to comply with professional guidelines. In order to guard
the nonpublic personal information, of our clients and potential clients, we
maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with our
professional standards and which exceed requirements of federal regulations

message (e.g. in Outlook, with the message open, go to View -> Options -
the information is listed in a pane at the bottom of the window) - copy and
paste the information into a forward of the email and send it to both Because
people can both "spoof" the email address and the name of the
originating server, the best resource to use to determine the ACTUAL source
is available for free at http://www.arin.net - just do a whois lookup (put the IP address in the text field at the
top right of the site and click "Search Whois"),
you'll have all of the information and you can send the email to the proper
regulators. The
