Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
The Law Firm does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.
Depending on the advertising, analytics, or website technologies in use, certain transfers of information may potentially constitute “sharing” or other regulated activity under California privacy law. Where required by applicable law, the Law Firm will provide appropriate disclosures and mechanisms for exercising applicable privacy rights.

California Do Not Track Disclosure
Some internet browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting that allows users to signal preferences regarding online tracking. Because there is not necessarily a uniform industry standard for responding to these signals, the website may not respond to all Do Not Track signals.
Where applicable law requires recognition of legally valid browser-based opt-out preference signals, the Law Firm will address such signals as required by law.
