At Risepoint, we firmly believe your privacy is important. We may work in the legal world but we don't want this point buried in legal jargon nor do we want hidden surprises. We’re transparent in the work we do and we hope to echo that here in our privacy policy.
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, apply for a job through us, or with us as a candidate or law firm. It explains how we use the information we collect to help you on your career journey.
What information do we collect?
We collect two types of info:
- Stuff that helps us connect you with the perfect legal job: This includes things like your name, email address, resume, and cover letter.
- Things that make the website work smoothly: This is anonymous information like your browsing habits on our site, which helps us make things easier to use for everyone.
How do we collect personal information?
We collect personal information online, from publicly available resources such as law firm websites, published law firm financial documents, legal journals, AmLaw publications, in face-to-face meetings and telephone conversations, by email, and in writing.
Why do we collect it?
We use your information to:

- provide personalized career guidance and advice throughout a candidate’s career
- Keep you in the loop: We might send you emails about relevant job openings or helpful career advice (but only if you want them!). You can always unsubscribe easily.
- Improve our website: We use anonymous data to understand how people use our site, so we can make it even better for job seekers.
- Follow the rules: Sometimes, the law requires us to share certain information. But don't worry, we'll only do this if absolutely necessary and literally required by law.

You're in charge! Here's how you can manage your information:

Is your personal information shared with anyone?
We will only share your personal information with prospective candidates notified to you in advance; with business partners and vendors working on our behalf who comply strictly with our instructions and have in place the appropriate organizational and technical safeguards; or if we are required by law to do so.
Children? We love ours, but otherwise they’re not our focus
We work with executive attorneys and top firms. Our website isn't designed for anyone under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from young people.
