Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 14, 2026

Slovak Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney LLP (“SBEMP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your
privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through
sbemp.com (the “Site”), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices
you have, including your rights under California law. By using the Site, you agree to this Policy. Please also review
our Terms of Use.

Please do not send confidential or time-sensitive information through this Site. Submitting a form
or emailing us does not create an attorney–client relationship, and until such a relationship is established in
writing, information you send may not be treated as privileged or confidential. See our
Terms of Use for details.

Information We Collect

• Information you provide. When you complete a contact or consultation form, request a resource
  such as an eBook or guide, or otherwise communicate with us, we collect the details you provide — such as your
  name, email address, phone number, and the contents of your message.
• Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our providers automatically
  collect technical information such as your IP address, device and browser type, referring pages, the pages you view,
  and the dates and times of your visits.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We and our partners use cookies, tags, and similar
  technologies to operate the Site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support call tracking. See
  “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” below.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your inquiries and provide the information or resources you request;
• To provide, maintain, and improve the Site and our services;
• To understand how visitors use the Site and to measure and improve our marketing;
• To send communications you have requested and, where permitted, relevant firm updates;
• To protect the Site, exercise or defend legal claims, and comply with legal and ethical obligations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site uses the following technologies, which are currently installed on the Site:

• Google Analytics, which helps us understand how visitors use the Site (statistics/analytics cookies);
• CallRail, a call-tracking service that assigns tracking phone numbers so we can understand which
  marketing sources generate phone inquiries. As a result, the phone number displayed on the Site may vary by visitor;
• Complianz, which manages cookie consent, remembers your cookie preferences, and powers our
  cookie/opt-out tools; and
• Elementor and core WordPress functionality, which may set functional and
  limited statistics cookies needed to operate the Site.

You can review and manage your cookie choices at any time on our
Cookie and Opt-Out Preferences page. Most browsers also let you block or delete
cookies directly, and we honor recognized opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC).
Disabling cookies may affect how parts of the Site function. If we add advertising technologies such as Google Ads or
the Meta Pixel in the future, we will update this section to reflect those tools.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only as follows:

• Service providers that operate the Site and support the firm (for example, hosting, form and
  email delivery, call tracking, and analytics), under obligations to protect the information;
• Analytics and call-tracking partners, as described above, in connection with cookies and tracking numbers;
• Legal, ethical, and safety reasons, such as to comply with law or professional obligations,
  respond to lawful requests, or protect the rights, property, or safety of the firm, our clients, or others;
• Business transfers, in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of assets.

Your California Privacy Rights

The California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA/CPRA”),
gives California residents rights regarding their personal information. In the preceding 12 months, we may have
collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (such as name, email, phone number, and IP
address); internet or network activity (such as browsing and interaction with the Site); approximate geolocation
derived from IP address; and inferences drawn to support our marketing. We collect this information from you directly
and automatically through the technologies described above, and use it for the purposes described in this Policy.

Subject to certain exceptions, California residents have the right to:

• Know and access the personal information we have collected about them;
• Delete personal information we have collected;
• Correct inaccurate personal information;
• Opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (see below);
• Limit the use of sensitive personal information; and
• Be free from discrimination for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@sbemp.com or 760.322.2275. We will verify your request as required by law
and may ask for information to confirm your identity. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your
behalf.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell personal information for money. However, our use of cookies and tracking technologies may be considered
“sharing” or a “sale” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under
California law. To opt out, you may (1) visit our Cookie and Opt-Out Preferences
page and submit your request there; (2) broadcast a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal through a supported browser or
extension, which we honor; or (3) contact us at
info@sbemp.com or 760.322.2275 and request that we not sell or share your personal information.

California “Shine the Light”

California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to request information about disclosures of
personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, contact us at
info@sbemp.com.

Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, to operate the
firm, and to meet legal, professional, and recordkeeping requirements, after which we delete or de-identify it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and internet email is not a secure channel, so please do not
send sensitive or confidential information through the Site or by unencrypted email.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal
information from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will
take appropriate steps to remove it.

Visitors Outside the United States

The Site is operated from the United States and intended for U.S. visitors. If you access it from outside the U.S.,
your information will be processed in the United States. If the EU/UK GDPR applies to you, you may have additional
rights; contact us to exercise them.

Third-Party Links

The Site may link to third-party websites and services we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those sites,
and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date
above. Your continued use of the Site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
