4.  Attorney-Client Privilege and Confidentiality

Information you share with us in connection with a legal matter may be protected by attorney-client privilege and the duty of confidentiality. This Privacy Policy does not limit or waive those protections. No attorney-client relationship is formed solely by submitting information through this Site. An attorney-client relationship is established only through a signed engagement agreement.
5.  Tracking Technologies and Consent (Including California CIPA Disclosures)

This section provides full disclosure of our use of third-party tracking technologies, including technologies that may constitute “pen registers” under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA), Cal. Penal Code §§ 638.50(b) and 638.51(a).
A. What Tracking Technologies We Use

Our Site may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, scripts, tags, SDKs, and related resources from the following third-party providers:
Google Analytics 4 — collects IP address, client/user identifiers (e.g., cid, sid), session identifiers, page URL, page title, browser metadata (screen resolution, browser version, platform, language), and page-view/session timing values. Measurement ID: G-K9DP78JNX0.
Ahrefs Analytics — collects IP address and related event data for traffic analysis.
HubSpot Collected Forms — collects IP address, HubSpot portal identifier, utk parameter, and form submission data for contact management.
These technologies operate by causing your browser to transmit addressing and signaling information — including your IP address and device/browser identifiers — to the third-party domains identified above. Under California law, processes that capture and transmit such addressing/signaling information may qualify as “pen registers” within the meaning of Cal. Penal Code § 638.50(b).
B. Prior Consent Requirement

We obtain your affirmative, prior, and informed consent before any third-party tracking scripts are permitted to execute on your device. When you visit our Site:
A cookie/tracking consent banner is presented before any non-essential third-party scripts load.
Third-party analytics and tracking scripts (Google Analytics, Ahrefs, HubSpot) are blocked by default and do not execute until you affirmatively accept.
If you decline or ignore the consent banner, these scripts will not run and no addressing or signaling information is transmitted to these third parties.
Your consent preference is stored and honored on subsequent visits. You may change your preference at any time.
Only scripts strictly necessary to render basic website content are permitted to load without your consent.
C. How to Manage or Withdraw Consent

Cookie preference center: Click [COOKIE SETTINGS LINK] at any time to review or change your consent preferences.
Google Analytics opt-out: Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Browser-level controls: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality.
Do Not Track: We honor browser-level Do Not Track signals from California residents to the extent technically feasible.
Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing conducted prior to withdrawal.
D. Data Transmitted to Third Parties

When tracking is active (with your consent), the following categories of data may be transmitted to the third parties identified above:
Internet Protocol (IP) address
Device and browser identifiers (client ID, session ID, user agent)
Browser metadata: screen resolution, browser version, platform, platform version, language
Page URL, page title, referring URL
Page-view and session timing values
HubSpot portal identifier and unique token (utk) parameter (HubSpot only)
We do not use these technologies to collect the contents of your communications.
6.  Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods for client matter information are governed by applicable professional responsibility rules and our internal records management policies. Analytics data is retained according to the data retention settings configured within each analytics platform.
7.  Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately.
8.  Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your state of residence, you may have the right to:
Know what personal information we have collected about you
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and ethical limitations
Opt out of certain tracking and analytics (see Section 5C)
Lodge a complaint with your applicable state data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 11. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
9.  Additional Disclosures for California Residents

A. California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the following rights: Right to Know, Right to Delete, Right to Correct, Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing, Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information, and Right to Non-Discrimination. We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising without your prior consent.
Categories of personal information collected in the preceding 12 months: identifiers (name, email, IP address, device/browser identifiers); professional or employment-related information; internet or electronic network activity information; and inferences drawn from this information.
To submit a verifiable consumer request, contact us at the information in Section 11. You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf.
B. California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) — Cal. Penal Code §§ 638.50, 638.51, 637.2

California Penal Code § 638.51(a) prohibits the installation or use of a pen register — defined as any device or process that records or decodes dialing, routing, addressing, or signaling information transmitted by an electronic communication — without a court order or the prior informed and specific consent of the user.
Our website uses third-party analytics technologies (Google Analytics 4, Ahrefs Analytics, and HubSpot) that, when active, cause your browser to transmit addressing and signaling information — including your IP address and device/browser identifiers — to those third parties. These technologies may constitute pen registers within the meaning of Cal. Penal Code § 638.50(b).
In compliance with CIPA:
We do not activate these technologies until we have obtained your prior, informed, and specific consent.
Consent is obtained through a prominent consent mechanism presented before any such scripts execute.
If you do not affirmatively consent, these scripts do not execute and no addressing or signaling information is transmitted to these third parties.
You may withdraw consent at any time through the cookie preference center or by contacting us directly.
If you are a California resident and believe this Policy or our practices do not comply with CIPA or the CCPA/CPRA, you may contact us directly or file a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) at cppa.ca.gov.
10.  Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

12.  Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will revise the “Last Updated” date when changes are made. For material changes, we will provide more prominent notice. Continued use of our Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
 
IMPLEMENTATION NOTE (REMOVE BEFORE PUBLISHING): This privacy policy must be accompanied by a functioning consent management platform (CMP) that technically blocks Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-K9DP78JNX0), Ahrefs Analytics, and HubSpot scripts from executing until the user affirmatively accepts. A privacy policy disclosure alone does not constitute prior informed consent under Cal. Penal Code § 638.51(a). The consent banner must appear before any non-essential third-party scripts load — no tracking can fire on page load without a prior affirmative opt-in.
