Top Legal Minds believes that it is important for You to easily differentiate between advertising and independent, editorial content on the Site; thus, Top Legal Minds has developed an Advertising Policy that explains Top Legal Minds' approach to ensure that the advertising You see on the Site has no influence on the quality, accuracy or selection of editorial content that Top Legal Minds provides Top Legal Minds clearly identifies all advertising on the Site. When Top Legal Minds speaks of "advertising" or "advertisements," it refers to all forms of advertising, sponsorships and promotions for which Top Legal Minds receives compensation. Top Legal Minds has established guidelines on how it labels advertising so that You will know what is an advertisement and what is editorial content. Top Legal Minds uses clear and consistent language and visual cues or descriptors to distinguish advertising from editorial content.
The word "Advertisement" or the phrase "Advertise With Us" is used to label the most common form of advertising on the Site. The content of the banner or similar advertisement itself is controlled by the advertiser. An advertisement is labeled with the word "Advertisement" or the phrase "Advertise With Us" along the bottom or bottom right corner of the advertisement. If You click on an advertisement, it will usually link to a website that is operated by the advertiser. As noted in the "What You should know about external web sites?" section above, Top Legal Minds has no control over the advertiser's website or the policies on that site. You should familiarize Yourself with the terms of use, privacy policies and other policies applicable to those sites before using them. The fact that an advertisement appears on a page has no bearing or influence on the editorial content on the page outside of the labeled advertisement itself. Other content on the Site page is under Top Legal Minds' editorial control.
The phrases "Verified", "Provided By" and "Sponsored By" are used to identify content that is created or influenced by an advertiser. Top Legal Minds identifies advertiser-influenced content as "Verified", "Provided By" or "Sponsored By" advertising so that You can distinguish such content from editorially independent content for which Top Legal Minds has sole editorial control. You can recognize advertiser-influenced content on the Site by use of the "Verified", "Provided By" or "Sponsored By" label and the name of the advertiser that appears in the sponsored content.
As an additional service to its users, Top Legal Minds has included in its Site various programs and tools created and administered by third parties ("Third Party Programs") whereby, as examples, You can receive useful items such as information concerning potential diseases/conditions, information about drug alternatives, and tools whereby You can maintain records relating to Your condition. These Third Party Programs are separate from, and do not include, the Appointment Services. Your use of these Third Party Programs is entirely optional and at Your sole discretion. If You do choose to use them, then some or all of these Third Party Programs may require that You provide certain personally identifying information that can be traced back to You. This personally identifying information may include, for example, age, gender. If You elect to use one or more of these Third Party Programs, then any personally identifying information that You provide as part of the Third Party Program, as well as Your Registration Information, will be available to the third party administering that Third Party Program. By using any Third Party Program, You acknowledge that any personally identifying information and Registration Information that You provide to the third party does not constitute a violation of Top Legal Minds' Privacy Policy. Top Legal Minds will maintain the privacy of Your personally identifying information in Top Legal Minds' possession in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable state and federal privacy laws. Top Legal Minds cannot guarantee that any third party will maintain the privacy of Your personally identifying information under any circumstance.
