This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information that we receive from users of this website.
Pinder Plotkin LLC is committed to the protection of your privacy and will treat all information you provide with appropriate care. We will not sell or disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties in any manner not in accordance with this policy.
By using this site, you agree to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
1. INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE
While using our site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. This may include (but is not limited to) your name, address, and contact information.
Like many website operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site. Examples include:
Your computer's Internet Protocol ("IP") address
The browser type and browser version you use
The web page from which you arrived on our site
The pages of our site that you visit
The time spent on those pages
The time and date of your visit
In addition, we may use third-party services such as Google Analytics and advertising platforms that collect, monitor, and analyze this data.
We also use data collected from this website -- including through the Meta Pixel and similar tools -- to create and optimize advertising campaigns on platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. This may include building Custom Audiences or Lookalike Audiences based on site visits and interactions. We obtain your explicit consent before using your contact information for custom audience targeting. See Section 3 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies) and Section 8 (Your Privacy Rights) for details on how to opt out.
2. COMMUNICATIONS
We may use your information to contact you by email or other means to deliver relevant information, including updates about your matter or our services. We will only use your contact information for purposes that are consistent with why you submitted it.
If you submitted your information through a Meta (Facebook/Instagram) lead form for the purpose of requesting a free case review, we will use your data only to respond to that specific request. We will not use lead form submissions for newsletters or unrelated marketing communications without first obtaining your separate, explicit consent.
3. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
Cookies are small files stored on a user's device that allow websites to recognize users, remember preferences, and collect behavioral data across sessions.
Like most websites, our site uses cookies and tracking technologies to collect information about site users. You can change your browser settings to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some portions of this site may not function properly.
Meta Pixel
This website uses the Meta Pixel, a tracking technology provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. The Meta Pixel collects data about your activity on this site -- including pages viewed, links clicked, and forms submitted -- and transmits it to Meta. This data is used to:
Measure the effectiveness of our Facebook and Instagram advertising campaigns
Enable retargeting -- showing you relevant ads after you visit this site
Build Custom Audiences for future advertising campaigns
To opt out of Meta's use of your data for advertising purposes, visit www.facebook.com/settings or use your device's ad preference settings.
We use a consent mechanism (cookie banner) on this site to obtain your permission before activating the Meta Pixel and similar non-essential tracking tools. You may withdraw or update your consent at any time through the cookie preferences link in the footer of this site.
4. SHARING OF INFORMATION
We will not allow any unaffiliated parties to access your information, except as follows:
Agents, website vendors, and contractors may use it in connection with their professional relationship with us.
If we are unable to assist you in a matter but know of an unaffiliated attorney or firm that may be able to help, we may refer you to them. We will obtain your explicit consent before sharing your personal information with any referring firm.
We may share your information with authorities as required by law, in a matter of public safety or policy.
In the event of a transfer of our business assets (for example, if we are acquired by another firm), we may share your information as needed with the acquiring entity.
We may share your information if we have a reasonable belief that sharing the data is necessary to protect our rights or property.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
5. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy:
Lead inquiry and case intake data: retained for up to 7 years, consistent with Maryland legal record-keeping requirements.
Web analytics and pixel data: retained for up to 26 months.
Email communications: retained for up to 3 years.
You may request deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. We will process deletion requests within 45 days, subject to any legal obligations requiring us to retain certain records.
6. SECURITY
The security of your personal information is important to us. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will never be able to defeat our security measures.
7. USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
We may use AI-assisted tools to help categorize, route, and respond to inquiries submitted through our website and advertising forms. These tools process your data solely to improve our intake and response processes. AI is not used to make final legal decisions about your matter.
Where AI processing involves sharing data with a third-party AI service provider, such sharing is governed by appropriate data processing agreements. Your data is not used to train third-party AI models without your explicit consent. Any use of AI complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA).
8. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
If you are a Maryland resident, you have the following rights under the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA):
Right to Know: You may request a copy of the personal data we have collected about you.
Right to Correct: You may request that we correct inaccurate personal data we hold about you.
