What kind of information do we collect from you?

We might ask you for different types of information. This could include your name, how to contact you, where you work, your job details, things you're good at, what you charge for your services, people who can recommend you, and any comments or information you choose to give us.

What information do we automatically collect from your usage of Exlitem?

While you use our website, we also collect some information by itself, which we call "Usage Information." This includes details like:

• Your computer's internet address (IP address).
• The type of web browser you use.
• The language of your browser.
• Pages you entered and left from.
• Dates and times of your visits.
• How long you stay on certain pages.
• And the parts of the website you visit.

How do we collect this information?

We get this information using automatic data collection tools like cookies. Cookies are small files saved on your computer that help us remember things about your visit. They help make your visit to our website better. For example, we use cookies from services like Google Analytics to help understand how people use our site. If you don't want cookies, you can turn them off in your computer settings, but this might make our website not work that well.

What other information do we have or collect on you?

Sometimes, we get additional information about you from other sources like our partners who help us with marketing, conferences, and ads, as well as social media networks.

We might also get information that's available to the public or provided by other people who use our website or other third parties.

If you are an expert witness and have been disclosed in a case as one, that information is in the public domain as a part of the Court records. We review court records to identify expert witnesses activity across many Courts.

Therefore, we may have information about you, your court filed or otherwise publicly available resume, any expert reports, deposition transcripts and other comments made by retaining and opposing attorneys as well as judges about you.

When you choose to offer your services as an expert witness and an attorney or retaining party designates and discloses you as their expert in court, the fact that you are an expert witness is a part of the public record and court information aggregators, lawyers, legal researchers and the general public at large now has access to that information. Exlitem and its affiliate websites reproduce this information legally.

Can you get your information removed from Exlitem?

Exlitem does not store, share or publish any private information such as your Social Security Number, Date of Birth or any other information which can be used to impersonate you.

If you believe that incorrect or unwarranted information about you has been included in our search engine, please reach out to us. We will do our best to address your concerns and would also attempt to point you to the source of the information so that you can get it corrected properly.

Information available in court records and documents in the public domain are part of “public information”. This includes the names of expert witnesses disclosed in court records and online websites, their publicly available contact information, links to publicly accessible websites, and any information that has not been sealed or redacted by a court order.
