PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: March 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) provides information regarding the policy and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of information received by MThompsonADR, LLC (“MThompsonADR”) which provides arbitration, mediation, and other dispute resolution services (“Services”), when you access and use this site (“Site”) and the collection, use and disclosure of information by Squarespace, the third party that hosts this website, and by other service providers and third parties.

By using this Site, you indicate that you understand and accept these terms. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Site. This Policy may be updated from time to time, and the updated Policy will be posted on this webpage. Your continued use of the Site means that you agree to and accept the updated Policy.

Your access and use of the Site also indicates that you understand and accept the terms of the Squarespace privacy policy at https://www.squarespace.com/privacy, which provides information regarding the policy and procedures regarding their collection, use and disclosure of information. This Site also uses Google Search Console, primarily to understand the Site’s search performance. To read about how Google uses your information please review the information here: https://policies.google.com. Your access and use of the Site also indicates that you understand and accept the Google terms. This Policy does not address the privacy policies of other websites to which the Site links. You are encouraged to review those policies. MThompsonADR accepts no responsibility or liability for Squarespace, Google or any other third-party.

Collection of Information

Personal information (“PI”) is information that directly identifies you (for example, your name and contact information). MThompsonADR collects PI when you provide it voluntarily (for example, when you email using the Site). Non-personal information (“Non-PI”) is information that does not identify you directly (for example, IP address and the Site pages visited). Non-PI may be collected to track usage data and administer the Site and for other uses described below, using cookies, which are small text files a website sends to a web browser, stored on the web browser’s computer, and other technologies. For example, when you use the Site, Squarespace may collect your IP address, access URL, time of access, geographic location, browser type, referral URL and other information to provide MThompsonADR with information regarding Site traffic statistics and to potentially identify users who are using the Site for spam or other problematic activity. Otherwise, this information is used in the aggregate and is not linked to PI. 

Use of Information

MThompsonADR may use the information you voluntarily provide to contact you, to make improvements to the Site and its Services, and other internal purposes. If you provide a telephone number to MThompsonADR, you agree that MThompsonADR can contact you at that number, potentially using automated technology (including texts/SMS messaging) or a pre-recorded message. Your consent is not an obligation to receive any Services. MThompsonADR will not rent or sell your PI to third parties. MThompsonADR, Squarespace and our other service providers may use Non-PI for analysis of trends, Site administration, security purposes, and to monitor visitor usage, traffic, routing, and movements around the Site, and related purposes, and to provide reports based on the use of information. You may be able to instruct your browser not to accept cookies, or to remove persistent cookies. MThompsonADR cannot guarantee that Non-PI will not be able to be used by those with access to identify you. MThompsonADR will use your information for internal purpose only, provided that it may use your information if necessary to satisfy legal requirements.

Safeguarding Information

MThompsonADR has implemented safeguards to protect your information from improper access, use and disclosure, and to safely destroy the information as applicable. While MThompsonADR is committed to protecting your privacy, please be aware that no transaction over the Internet can be completely secure, and transmission of data is therefore entirely at your own risk.
