3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, measure advertising and marketing performance, attribute calls and inquiries, and support other purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
These technologies may be placed by Brown Carrington or by third parties we engage.
The technologies used on the website may include:
Technical or Functional Technologies
These technologies support necessary website functions, security, form operation and consent preferences.
Analytics Technologies
These technologies help us understand website traffic, page performance, visitor interactions and how the website is used.
Advertising and Attribution Technologies
These technologies help us understand whether advertising and marketing campaigns generate website visits, telephone calls or inquiries. Depending on the provider and your consent choices, these technologies may associate website activity with a browser, device or advertising identifier.
Social Media and Embedded Content
Certain website pages may contain embedded content or features provided by social media platforms or other third parties. Those providers may collect information about your device and interaction with the embedded content.
For more information about the cookies and similar technologies currently identified on the website, their purposes and your consent choices, please review our Cookie Policy through the “Your Privacy Matters” or “Opt-out Preferences” link on the website.
You may use the website’s consent-management tool to accept, reject or manage nonessential cookies. You may also control certain cookies through your browser settings.

The providers and technologies currently detected on the website are described in our Cookie Policy. The vendor list may change as website services and technologies are added, removed or updated.
5. When We Disclose Information
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:
Website and Business Service Providers
We may provide information to trusted vendors that help us operate the website, host data, manage forms, provide analytics, measure advertising, track calls, identify website traffic, maintain security, provide communications services or support our business.
These providers are authorized to process information only as necessary to perform services for us, subject to applicable contractual and legal restrictions.
Attorneys, Consultants and Professional Advisers
We may disclose information to attorneys, accountants, insurers, auditors, technology consultants and other professional advisers when reasonably necessary.
Legal and Safety Disclosures
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:
- Comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order or other legal process
- Respond to a government or regulatory request
- Enforce our policies or agreements
- Investigate fraud, security incidents or misuse
- Protect the rights, property or safety of Brown Carrington, our clients, website users or others
Business Transactions
Information may be disclosed as part of a merger, restructuring, financing, acquisition, sale of assets or similar business transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal protections.
6. Sale, Sharing, Targeted Advertising and Profiling
Brown Carrington does not sell personal information in exchange for money.
We may disclose technical information, website-usage information and other personal information to service providers and third parties that support website operation, analytics, advertising measurement, social media functions, call tracking and related business activities.
Some state privacy laws define terms such as “sale,” “sharing,” “targeted advertising” or “profiling” more broadly than an exchange of information for money. Depending on the applicable law and the technologies used on the website, certain disclosures or processing activities may fall within one or more of those definitions.
Where required by applicable law, eligible residents may request to opt out of:
- The sale of personal information
- The sharing of personal information
- Processing for targeted advertising
- Certain types of profiling
- Certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information
You may submit an opt-out request through the “Opt-out Preferences link on the website.
Where required by applicable law and technically supported, we will process recognized browser-based universal opt-out preference signals.
7. Confidentiality and Attorney-Client Relationship
Submitting information through the website does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and Brown Carrington.
An attorney-client relationship is created only after Brown Carrington has:
- Reviewed the relevant information
- Completed any necessary conflict review
- Confirmed that the firm is able and willing to accept the matter
- Communicated its acceptance of the representation
- Entered into an engagement agreement where required
Do not submit confidential, privileged, highly sensitive or time-sensitive information through the website unless an attorney or authorized Brown Carrington representative has instructed you to do so.
Information submitted before an attorney-client relationship is established may be reviewed by Brown Carrington attorneys, intake personnel, employees and authorized technology or business service providers as necessary to evaluate and respond to the inquiry.
Brown Carrington cannot agree to represent you until it has determined that doing so would not create a conflict of interest or violate another legal or professional obligation.
Submitting information through the website may not prevent Brown Carrington from representing another person in the same or a related matter, to the extent permitted by applicable law and professional-conduct rules.
8. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
These safeguards may include access controls, security monitoring, vendor-management practices and technical protections appropriate to the nature of the information.
However, no website, internet transmission, electronic communication or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information submitted through or collected by the website.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
The applicable retention period may depend on:
- The type of information
- The reason it was collected
- Whether the information relates to an inquiry, prospective client or current or former client
- Legal and professional-responsibility obligations
- Record keeping requirements
- Security and fraud-prevention needs
- The need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims
- Contractual requirements
- Applicable limitation periods
We may retain aggregated or de-identified information that can no longer reasonably be associated with an identifiable individual.
Cookie and similar-technology retention periods are described, where available, in our Cookie Policy.

13. Third-Party Websites and Services
The website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms or services.
Brown Carrington does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security or content practices of third parties. The inclusion of a link does not necessarily indicate that Brown Carrington endorses or is affiliated with the third party.
