Website Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 27, 2026
Baughman Kroup Bosse PLLC ("BKB," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Website Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit www.bkbfirm.com (the "Website") or communicate with us through contact information provided on the Website.
This Policy applies only to information collected through the Website and related website communications. It does not govern information BKB receives or maintains in the course of representing clients, which is subject to separate professional obligations, engagement terms, and applicable law.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us by email, telephone, or other means listed on the Website. This may include:
Your name, email address, telephone number, employer, and job title;
The contents of your message and any information you choose to provide;
Information submitted in connection with employment or internship inquiries, such as a resume, cover letter, transcript, writing sample, employment history, education, and professional qualifications; and
Other information necessary to respond to your request.
Please do not send confidential, privileged, sensitive, or time-critical information through the Website or by unsolicited email. Contacting BKB does not create an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is formed only through a written engagement agreement signed by BKB and the client.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Website, BKB and its service providers may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including:
Internet Protocol (IP) address;
Browser type, device type, operating system, and network information;
Pages viewed, links clicked, referring pages, access times, and general interaction with the Website;
Approximate geographic location derived from an IP address; and
Cookie and similar technology identifiers.
This information is used to operate, secure, maintain, and understand use of the Website.
Cookies and Analytics
The Website is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace may use cookies and similar technologies and may process browser, device, network, IP address, referral, and Website usage information to provide, secure, and improve its hosting platform and services.
The Website may use functional cookies that are necessary for security and basic operation, as well as analytics or performance cookies that help us understand Website traffic and usage. Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will be used only after you provide consent through the Website's cookie controls.
You may limit or block cookies through your browser settings and, when available, through the Website's cookie banner or preference controls. Blocking cookies may affect Website functionality.
How We Use Information
We may use information collected through the Website to:
Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Website;
Respond to inquiries and communicate with you;
Evaluate employment and internship candidates;
Understand Website traffic, performance, and usage;
Protect BKB, Website users, clients, and others from fraud, misuse, security threats, or unlawful activity;
Comply with legal, regulatory, ethical, and professional obligations; and
Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
We do not use information submitted through the Website to provide legal advice unless and until BKB agrees in writing to represent you.
How We Disclose Information
We may disclose information:
To vendors and service providers that support Website hosting, security, analytics, communications, recruiting, and other business operations;
To professional advisers, insurers, auditors, or other parties as reasonably necessary for legitimate business purposes;
When required by law, subpoena, court order, professional obligation, or lawful governmental request;
When reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, property, or security of BKB, our clients, Website users, or others;
In connection with a merger, reorganization, financing, sale of assets, or similar business transaction; or
With your direction or consent.
BKB does not sell personal information collected through the Website for monetary consideration. BKB does not use Website information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.
Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including professional-networking and social-media sites. BKB does not control and is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of those third parties. Their own privacy policies apply when you use their services.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including responding to inquiries, evaluating candidates, maintaining business and security records, complying with legal and professional obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Data Security
BKB uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, email transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should not use the Website or ordinary email to transmit highly sensitive, confidential, privileged, or urgent information.
Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you reside and subject to applicable exceptions, you may have rights concerning your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of certain information, or to object to or restrict certain processing.
To submit a privacy request, email contact@bkbfirm.com with the subject line "Privacy Request." We may need to verify your identity and request before responding. You may also use an authorized agent where permitted by law, subject to verification of the agent's authority. We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
Because the Website does not use personal information for targeted advertising or sell it, BKB does not currently offer a separate sale or targeted-advertising opt-out.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals
Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to these signals, the Website may not respond to them. Where applicable law requires recognition of an approved browser-based opt-out preference signal, BKB will process that signal as required.
Children's Privacy
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and BKB does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Website. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Website, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
International Visitors
BKB is based in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the United States, your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where BKB's service providers operate. Those jurisdictions may have different data-protection laws from your home country.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. The revised Policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of the Website after an update is subject to the revised Policy.
