Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 27, 2026
Last Updated: August 27, 2026

Funderburg Law, LLC, doing business as Culture Kept Legal (“Culture Kept Legal,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected when you visit culturekeptlegal.com, submit an inquiry, follow a link to schedule a consultation, or otherwise interact with this website.

By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Submit

When you submit an inquiry through our website form, we may collect:

• Your name;
• Your email address;
• Your brand or company name;
• Your website or social-media link;
• The stage of your brand or trademark matter;
• The type of assistance or next step you are seeking;
• The message you provide about how we may be able to help;
• Your reason for seeking trademark counsel; and
• The date and time of your submission.

Please do not submit confidential, privileged, highly sensitive, or time-sensitive information through the website. Submitting an inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship and does not guarantee representation.

Technical and Security Information

The website may process limited technical information to operate securely, prevent abuse, and maintain site functionality.

For contact-form rate limiting, the application derives an Internet Protocol address from request headers, applies a one-way cryptographic hash, truncates that hash, and stores only the resulting value. The application does not intentionally store the raw IP address in the inquiry record.

Our hosting, infrastructure, email, and security providers may process ordinary request and security information, such as IP address, browser or device information, timestamps, user-agent information, and request metadata, through their own infrastructure logs.

Analytics Information

Google Analytics 4 will be used only after a visitor affirmatively selects “Accept Analytics.”

If accepted, Google Analytics may collect information concerning:

• Pages viewed;
• Approximate geographic location;
• Browser and device type;
• Referring website or source;
• Time spent on the website;
• Scrolling and other interactions;
• Outbound link activity; and
• Other website-usage information generated through Google Analytics.

Analytics is disabled by default. We do not authorize Google Analytics advertising features, remarketing, cross-context behavioral advertising, or Google Tag Manager through this website.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• Review and respond to inquiries;
• Determine whether a matter appears to align with our services;
• Conduct preliminary conflict and suitability assessments;
• Communicate about consultations or potential representation;
• Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• Prevent spam, abuse, fraud, and unauthorized activity;
• Understand website usage when analytics consent has been provided;
• Comply with legal, regulatory, professional, and ethical obligations;
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights; and
• Maintain appropriate business and administrative records.

3. Attorney-Client Relationship and Confidentiality

Using this website, reading its content, submitting an inquiry, or receiving a response does not create an attorney-client relationship.

An attorney-client relationship is formed only after Funderburg Law, LLC and the client execute a written engagement agreement.

Until that occurs, information submitted through the website may not be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Do not send confidential information, legal strategy, sensitive personal data, or information that could prejudice your matter.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website uses local browser storage to remember whether a visitor accepted or rejected analytics. The stored preference is identified as culture-kept-analytics-consent and contains either accepted or rejected.

If you reject analytics, Google Analytics will remain disabled and no Google Analytics cookies or events should be created.

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect website-usage information.

You may change your choice at any time by selecting “Cookie Settings” in the website footer.

Strictly necessary technologies used for security, fraud prevention, rate limiting, or core website operation may function regardless of your analytics preference.

5. How We Share Information

We may disclose information to service providers that assist us with website hosting, database services, email delivery, security, scheduling, analytics, and related business operations.

Current providers may include:

• Lovable, for website hosting, cloud database services, infrastructure, and email delivery;
• Google, for optional Google Analytics services after consent; and
• Calendly, when a visitor independently follows a link to schedule a consultation.

These providers process information under their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

We may also disclose information:

• When required by law, subpoena, court order, or legal process;
• To comply with professional or ethical obligations;
• To protect our rights, safety, property, clients, or others;
• To investigate fraud, misuse, or security concerns;
• In connection with a merger, restructuring, transfer, or similar business transaction; or
• With your direction or consent.

6. Calendly and External Websites

Consultation buttons link to Calendly. When you follow a Calendly link, you leave the Culture Kept Legal website.

Culture Kept Legal does not send your website inquiry information to Calendly before you select that link. Information you provide directly to Calendly is governed by Calendly’s privacy policy and terms.

The website may also contain links to the United States Patent and Trademark Office and other external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, availability, or content of third-party websites.

7. Sale and Advertising Use of Personal Information

Culture Kept Legal does not currently sell personal information.

Culture Kept Legal does not currently share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or use website inquiry information for targeted advertising.

If these practices materially change, this Privacy Policy and the website’s consent controls will be updated before the new practice is implemented.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, respond to inquiries, maintain conflict and business records, comply with legal and professional obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect legal rights.

Unengaged inquiry records should be reviewed after approximately 24 months. Information that is no longer reasonably necessary should be deleted or minimized, subject to any legitimate need to retain limited information for conflict checking, legal compliance, security, dispute resolution, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal rights.

Email-delivery, hosting, infrastructure, and security logs may be retained according to the applicable provider’s operational policies.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information.

Current measures include:

• HTTPS encryption;
• Server-side validation;
• Field-length limits;
• Input normalization;
• Honeypot spam protection;
• Rate limiting based on a one-way IP hash;
• Cross-site request-forgery protection;
• Private database permissions;
• Row-level security; and
• Server-side privileged database access.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Processing

Our service providers may operate distributed infrastructure. Information may therefore be processed or stored outside your state, province, or country.

Where applicable, service providers are responsible for implementing their own measures for lawful international data processing and transfer.

11. Your Choices and Requests

You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you submitted through this website.

We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. Certain information may be retained when reasonably necessary for legal, ethical, security, conflict-checking, recordkeeping, or dispute-resolution purposes.

You may also reject optional analytics or change your analytics preference at any time through the “Cookie Settings” control in the website footer.

12. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for adults and businesses seeking legal services or general educational information. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through this website.

If you believe a child submitted personal information, contact us at hello@culturekeptlegal.com.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology, providers, legal obligations, or information practices.
