Our Privacy Policy

At Britt Criminal Defense, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, https://brittcriminaldefense.com, submit forms, or interact with our online content. By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact Forms

When you submit a contact form on our website, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, and details about your legal matter.

We use this information solely to:

• Respond to your inquiry
• Evaluate potential legal representation
• Provide requested information

Submitting a contact form does not create an attorney-client relationship. Information submitted through our website may not be treated as confidential until a formal attorney-client relationship has been established.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Managing Cookies

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality and performance of the website.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We may use website analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools may collect information such as:

• Pages visited
• Time spent on pages
• Referring websites
• Device and browser type

This information helps us improve website functionality, content relevance, and overall user experience. Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not identify individual users.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us with:

• Website hosting
• Spam detection
• Analytics services
• Technical support

These providers are required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Contact Form Retention

Information submitted through contact forms may be retained for a reasonable period necessary to respond to your inquiry, maintain records, and comply with legal or ethical obligations.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Your Contact Information

If you provide contact information through our website, we use it only to respond to your inquiry or provide requested information about our services.

Additional information

How we protect your data

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.

What data breach procedures we have in place

In the event of a data breach, we will assess the scope and impact of the incident and take appropriate corrective action. Where required by law, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities in a timely manner.

What third parties we receive data from

We may receive limited technical data from analytics providers, advertising networks, or spam detection services that help us improve website performance and security.

What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Industry regulatory disclosure requirements

As a criminal defense law firm, we comply with applicable legal and ethical obligations governing attorney conduct and client confidentiality. Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit our professional responsibilities under applicable laws and bar regulations.
