Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 07, 2025
The team at ThisAppearance is committed to protecting Your privacy, and We believe strongly in your privacy rights. We understand that you are trusting Us with Your data. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) outlines the types of information We collect, how We use it, and the measures We take to safeguard Your data. We treat any data that relates to an identifiable individual or that is linkable to such by ThisAppearance as “personal data.” Data that directly identifies you, such as Your name, is personal data, but also data that does not directly identify you, such as information that identifies Your specific device, is personal data, too. Aggregated data, however, is considered non-personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
You will be given an opportunity to review this privacy information before using or continuing to use our services. You also can view this information at any time online at https://tappear.com/privacy-policy. Please familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and contact Us if You have any questions.
This Policy relates to how We handle personal data whether You interact with Us on Our site, our apps, our online chats, or by phone (our “Services”). We may also link to third parties within our provided services. This Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. For those, We encourage You to read their specific privacy policies and know Your privacy rights before interacting with them.
Our Services, and subsequently this policy, are intended to apply to users located within the United States only, to Users at or over the age of 18. Users located outside the US or under the age of 18 should not use this site. Other locations may have different laws and regulations. We will not collect, save, share, or store any information from users located outside the US or who are under the age of 18, nor will we allow any such user to participate in this site’s offerings, for protection purposes.
Our Services are meant to facilitate communication and engagement between Attorneys and Firms who provide legal services and other Attorneys and/or law firms seeking to engage those Attorney service providers.

This is a tiny file placed on your computer’s drive, if you allow it, so that we know who you are and can help make sure you are you when it comes time to log in. Cookie usage is not mandatory for the use of the site, but it does help with security. We also use cookies to analyze traffic data for our site’s performance. We only use this internally, and once used, we remove it.
