The Firm uses the collected data for various purposes:
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), the Firm’s legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy depends on the Personal Data collected and the specific context in which the Firm collects it.
The applicable legal basis for each category of processing is set out below:
The Firm will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. The Firm will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations (for example, if the Firm is required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce legal agreements and policies.
The Firm will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of the Service, or the Firm is legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.
Aggregate analytics data collected through StatCounter is retained in accordance with StatCounter’s data retention policies.
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
The Service is hosted by The Modern Firm, LLC, a U.S.-based company. Contact form submissions and related personal data are processed on servers in the United States. If you are an EEA or UK resident who submits a contact inquiry, the transfer of your personal data to the United States is made on the basis of Article 49(1)(b) GDPR — the transfer is necessary to take steps at your request prior to the Firm responding to your inquiry.

The Firm does not currently respond to browser-level Do Not Track DNT signals. However, the Firm recognizes Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signals as valid opt-out requests where required by applicable law.

You can enable or disable Do Not Track by visiting the Preferences or Settings page of your web browser.
