Answers are authored HTML (links allowed). const FAQ = [ {q:'How can LIST help my project?', a:'LIST gives you one stable set of codes for legal issues. Tag your articles and forms, route intake, compare data across organizations, and feed a classifier, all against the same vocabulary. The codes stay stable, so your tags do not rot when the site updates.'}, {q:'Is LIST the standard?', a:'LIST is not a government-mandated standard. It is an open taxonomy that the Stanford Legal Design Lab maintains, and many legal help organizations use it. It is free to adopt, and it is built to map onto the code sets already in use, so you do not have to choose LIST instead of what you have.'}, {q:'Why do terms have both a code and a name?', a:'Use the code, like HO-02-04-08-00, as your source of truth. It is persistent: it does not change when we reword a title for clarity, and it is far easier to store and match consistently than a name, which people type, abbreviate, and capitalize differently. The name is there for people to read; the code is what systems should rely on. When you tag or map your data, tag with the code.'}, {q:'Is LIST maintained?', a:'Yes. The Lab updates LIST and reviews every suggested change. Each term records when it was last updated, and the date at the top of the site reflects the most recent approved edit.'}, {q:'How do I suggest a term or a fix?', a:'Use the “Suggest a term or fix” button, or the button on any term page. Your suggestion goes to a review queue, not straight to the live list. We review it, refine it, and publish it when it is ready.'}, {q:'How does LIST relate to the National Subject Matter Index (NSMI)?', a:'LIST grew out of the National Subject Matter Index (NSMI), the earlier legal issue-code work. We built on it, reorganized it, and expanded it, and we are grateful for that foundation. NSMI still lives at nsmi.lsntap.org for anyone who mapped to it, and every LIST term that came from an NSMI code keeps that crosswalk, so you can move between the two.'}, {q:'What if I am using Legal Services Corporation (LSC) problem codes?', a:'Keep using them. LIST maps to the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) problem codes from the CSR Handbook, so you can translate between the two instead of re-tagging your data. If a code you rely on is not mapped yet, send it through the crosswalk request and we will add it.'}, {q:'What if I have my own custom taxonomy or dictionary?', a:'Keep it. LIST is meant to be the shared layer your custom set maps to. Send us your taxonomy through the crosswalk request, and we can build a crosswalk between yours and LIST, so your internal codes keep working and your data can travel.'}, {q:'Where can I learn more, or who do I contact?', a:'For collaboration, research, or to understand this space, email legaldesignlab@law.stanford.edu. To go deeper on the data standards behind LIST, see Legal Help Commons and JusticeBench.

This policy explains what data the Taxonomy.legal platform collects, why, and what we do with it.

What data we need

When you use the Taxonomy.legal platform, the data we collect from you includes:

Any personal information you voluntarily provide in our contact and suggestion forms, including your name, email address, location, organizational affiliation, and message.
Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which version of web browser you use, and information on how you use the site, gathered using cookies and page-tagging techniques. This is non-personally identifiable information that we collect and process.

The legal basis for processing this data is to perform a task in the public interest: providing this platform and gathering voluntary feedback from its users.

We use Google Analytics to measure the performance of the site. Google Analytics stores information about the pages you visit, how long you spend on each page, how you got to the site, and what you click on while visiting.

Why we need it

We collect the personal information you provide in our forms in order to improve the site based on user input, including feedback about how the platform could be improved and what information might need updating.

We use IP information and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, so we can make sure it is meeting the needs of its users and make improvements such as better navigation and content. In short, we need this data to improve the site by monitoring how you use it, and to gather and respond to any feedback you send us.

What we do with your data

We share your information internally at Stanford to facilitate and manage the purposes described above. This includes third parties whom Stanford engages to process your personal information on our behalf for those purposes, such as vendors who help Stanford with research and web hosting. The data we collect may be shared with other groups inside the university and with other research partners doing academic work on access to justice.

We will not sell or rent your data to third parties, and we will not share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may use your behavior on the site for academic research, though personally identifiable information will not be included in research or general publications. We will share your data if we are required to do so by law, for example by court order, or to prevent fraud or other crime.

How long we keep your data

We retain your personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes set out here, or for as long as the law requires us to.

Cookie information

A cookie is a small file of user and website information stored on your computer. It interacts with the site to tailor your experience, and can carry information to other sites you visit or to third parties. We use third-party, session, and persistent cookies and similar technology to collect aggregate (non-personal) information about how all of our visitors use the platform, and to remember you and your preferences when you return. These cookies may remain in your browser until they expire or you delete them. General information about cookies is available at allaboutcookies.org.

We may allow selected third parties to place cookies through the site to give us better insight into how it is used. These third parties may collect information about your online activity over time and across different websites.

You can change your cookie settings in your browser, usually under its Help, Preferences, or Options menus. If you block cookies, including ones essential to the platform, all or part of the site may not work for you. The platform issues cookies as soon as you visit unless your browser is set to prevent it.

Children’s privacy protection

Our services are not designed for, or intentionally targeted at, children 13 years of age or younger. We do not intentionally collect or maintain data about anyone under the age of 13.

Where your data is processed and stored

We design, build, and run our systems to keep your data as safe as possible, both while it is processed and when it is stored. Personal information provided by users outside the United States may be transferred to other countries, such as the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those of your home country. By providing your information you acknowledge that it will be transferred to and processed on servers in the U.S. We take all reasonable steps to protect your privacy in accordance with applicable data-protection laws.

How we protect your data

We are committed to keeping your data secure and have set up systems and processes to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure. Stanford’s minimum security standards are published at uit.stanford.edu/guide/securitystandards.

Your rights

You have the right to request information about how your personal data is processed, a copy of that data, and correction of anything inaccurate. You can also object to how your data is processed, request erasure where there is no longer a justification for keeping it, and ask that processing be restricted in certain circumstances. To make any of these requests, get in touch with the Lab.

Links to other websites

This site may contain links to other websites. This policy applies only to the Taxonomy.legal platform and does not cover other sites we link to.

Changes to this policy

We may change this policy. If we do, the “last updated” date on this page will change, and any changes apply to you and your data immediately. If changes affect how your personal data is processed, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.

Contact us or make a complaint

Contact us if you have any questions about this document, or if you think your personal data has been misused or mishandled.
