McGeady Becher Cortese Williams P.C. (“the Firm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit specialdistrictlaw.com (the “Site”), how we use it, how we share it, and the choices and rights you have. We have designed this Site to collect as little information as possible, and we do not sell your personal information.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Policy applies only to information collected through this Site. It does not apply to information you provide to the Firm through other channels — such as email, telephone, or in the course of an attorney-client relationship — which is governed by our professional obligations and applicable law. This Site is intended for a general audience in the United States and is not directed to individuals located outside the United States.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

If you use a contact form on the Site, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, telephone number, and the contents of your message. You choose what to include, and you are not required to submit any information to browse the Site. Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information, or details about a legal matter, through the Site’s contact form. Submitting a form or contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, our web hosting servers automatically record standard technical information when your browser requests a page. This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, device and operating system information, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used for basic security, troubleshooting, and to keep the Site operating reliably. We do not use it to build a profile of you or to track you across other websites.

Cookies

Our Site uses only the essential and functional cookies that WordPress and our hosting environment require to operate the Site securely and correctly. We do not use advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; some parts of the Site may not function properly if you disable essential cookies.

3. What We Do NOT Collect or Use

We have intentionally kept this Site free of the tracking technologies commonly found on commercial websites. As of the effective date above, this Site does not use any of the following:

  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel or any social-media tracking pixels
  • Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or other website-analytics tools
  • Advertising, remarketing, or retargeting pixels
  • Session-recording or “screen replay” software (such as Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity)
  • Live-chat widgets or third-party appointment-booking embeds
  • The sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information described above to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you;
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or security incidents; and
  • Comply with our legal, regulatory, and professional obligations.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising purposes. We may share information only in these limited circumstances:

  • Service providers: With vendors who help us operate the Site (such as our web hosting provider), who may process information only on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal and professional requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Firm, our clients, or others.
  • Business changes: In connection with a merger, reorganization, or similar event affecting the Firm, consistent with applicable law and our professional obligations.

6. Third-Party Services

Certain features of the Site rely on services provided by third parties. When your browser loads these features, the third party may receive technical information such as your IP address in order to deliver the content. We do not control how these providers use information they collect, which is governed by their own privacy policies.

  • Website hosting: Our hosting provider stores the Site and maintains standard server logs as described in Section 2.
  • Google Fonts: Some pages load typography from Google’s font service. When they do, your browser contacts Google’s servers, which may receive your IP address. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
  • Google Maps: Our contact page may include an embedded Google Map. When the map loads, your browser contacts Google’s servers, which may receive your IP address. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

7. Data Retention

We retain information you submit through the Site only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law or our professional obligations. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information collected through the Site. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You transmit information to us at your own risk, and you should not send confidential information through the Site.

9. Your Privacy Rights

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you certain rights regarding your personal information, subject to exceptions and limitations:

  • Right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose;
  • Right to delete personal information we have collected from you;
  • Right to correct inaccurate personal information;
  • Right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information; and
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law, so no opt-out mechanism is necessary. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information in Section 13. We will verify your request before responding, and you may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf.

Colorado Residents (Colorado Privacy Act)

If you are a Colorado resident, the Colorado Privacy Act provides rights to access, correct, and delete your personal data, to obtain a portable copy of it, and to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and certain profiling. We do not engage in any of these activities through the Site. To exercise your rights, contact us as described in Section 13. If we decline your request, you may appeal that decision by replying to our response, and you may also contact the Colorado Attorney General.

Residents of Other States

Residents of other states that have enacted comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of their personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. We honor these rights to the extent they apply. Contact us using the information in Section 13 to make a request.

10. “Do Not Track” Signals

Because we do not track visitors across third-party websites or over time, our Site does not respond differently to “Do Not Track” browser signals. We treat all visitors the same way regardless of the signal your browser sends.

11. Children’s Privacy

This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12. Links to Other Websites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
