PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: August 22, 2026

Rainey LLP (“Rainey,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates www.raineyllp.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through the Site, how we use and disclose it, and the choices available to you.

  1. SCOPE

This Privacy Policy applies to information collected when you visit the Site, submit an inquiry through a Site form, or contact us using the email address or telephone number provided on the Site.

The Site is an informational website for Rainey LLP’s arbitration, mediation, and legal services. It does not currently offer user accounts, subscriptions, online purchases, or a client portal.

  1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

2.1 Information You Provide

The inquiry forms on the Site ask for:

  • First name;

  • Last name;

  • Email address; and

  • The contents of your message.

If you contact us by email or telephone, we may also receive your telephone number, email signature information, organizational affiliation, and any other information you choose to provide.

An inquiry may identify other individuals or organizations, including parties, counsel, witnesses, affiliated entities, or others whose names are necessary for a conflict check. Please provide only information reasonably necessary for us to understand and respond to your inquiry.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, Squarespace and other service providers may automatically collect information concerning your visit, including:

  • Your IP address and approximate location derived from it;

  • Browser, network, device, and operating-system information;

  • The page or website that referred you to the Site;

  • Pages viewed and links or buttons used;

  • Dates, times, and duration of visits; and

  • Diagnostic, security, and performance information.

We use this information to operate and secure the Site, identify technical problems, prevent abuse, and understand general Site traffic and activity.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Squarespace uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, maintain security, provide Site functionality, and generate Site analytics. Some cookies are necessary for the Site to function. Analytics or performance cookies may also be used depending on the Site’s configuration and the choices available through your browser.

The Site also uses Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam and automated abuse. When reCAPTCHA is loaded, Google may receive information about your browser, device, IP address, cookies, and interactions with the Site for security and fraud-prevention purposes. Google’s collection and use of that information are governed by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service.

Rainey LLP does not currently use the Site to deliver interest-based advertising and does not intentionally deploy advertising pixels for cross-site behavioral advertising.

You can restrict or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may affect Site functionality.

  1. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may use personal information collected through the Site to:

  • Respond to requests concerning arbitration or mediation availability;

  • Respond to inquiries about potential legal representation;

  • Conduct conflict and relationship checks;

  • Evaluate a proposed engagement or neutral appointment;

  • Communicate about scheduling, procedure, or other administrative matters;

  • Operate, maintain, analyze, and improve the Site;

  • Protect the Site and our communications from spam, fraud, misuse, and security threats;

  • Maintain appropriate business and professional records;

  • Comply with legal, ethical, regulatory, and professional obligations; and

  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

We do not use information submitted through the Site to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

  1. CONFIDENTIALITY AND RELATIONSHIP NOTICE

Submitting an inquiry through the Site does not create an attorney-client relationship, appoint Rainey LLP or Charles C. Rainey as an arbitrator or mediator, or establish any other professional relationship.

Please do not submit privileged, confidential, highly sensitive, or time-critical information unless and until the appropriate relationship has been confirmed and a suitable method of communication has been established.

For a neutral appointment inquiry, you may provide the identities of the parties and counsel, the type of proceeding, relevant deadlines, and other information reasonably necessary for an availability and conflict check. You should not use the Site to make unilateral communications concerning the merits of a pending or proposed arbitration or mediation.

  1. HOW WE DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

5.1 Website and Technology Providers

The Site is hosted by Squarespace. Squarespace processes Site-usage information and information submitted through Site forms to provide hosting, form processing, analytics, content delivery, security, and related services.

Form submissions may be stored or processed through Squarespace and delivered to Rainey LLP. Squarespace may also process certain visitor information for its own security and service-integrity purposes, as described in the Squarespace Privacy Policy.

We may also use providers of email, information technology, website support, security, data storage, content delivery, and web typography.

5.2 Google reCAPTCHA

Google processes technical and interaction information through reCAPTCHA to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated or abusive traffic.

5.3 Professional Advisers

We may disclose information to accountants, insurers, technology consultants, legal advisers, or other professional advisers when reasonably necessary and subject to appropriate confidentiality or professional obligations.

5.4 Legal and Professional Requirements

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, court order, legal process, professional obligation, or a lawful governmental request, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Rainey LLP or others.

Rainey LLP does not sell personal information, rent contact lists, or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

  1. THIRD-PARTY LINKS

The Site contains links to third-party websites and professional profiles. If you follow one of those links, the third party may collect information about your visit in accordance with its own privacy practices.

Rainey LLP does not control and is not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by or on behalf of Rainey LLP.

  1. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

The applicable period may depend on the nature of the inquiry, whether an appointment or engagement results, conflict-check and recordkeeping needs, applicable limitation periods, and legal, ethical, regulatory, or professional obligations. Information may remain in routine backups or security logs for additional periods consistent with the practices of our service providers.

  1. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, email system, or Internet transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through the Site or by email.

  1. YOUR CHOICES AND PRIVACY REQUESTS

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request that we:

  • Confirm whether we process personal information about you;

  • Provide access to certain personal information;

  • Correct inaccurate personal information;

  • Delete certain personal information;

  • Restrict or object to certain processing; or

  • Provide certain information in a portable format.

You may submit a request by emailing info@raineyllp.com. Please identify the nature of your request and provide sufficient information for us to locate the relevant records and reasonably verify your identity.

Applicable law, legal privilege, confidentiality obligations, professional duties, conflict-check requirements, and other exceptions may limit our ability to fulfill a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

  1. DO NOT TRACK AND CROSS-SITE COLLECTION

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no uniform industry standard governing how websites should interpret these signals, the Site does not currently respond separately to browser Do Not Track signals.

Rainey LLP does not use the Site to track visitors over time across unrelated websites for behavioral advertising. Third-party services embedded in or supporting the Site—particularly Squarespace and Google reCAPTCHA—may receive technical information or identifiers when their services are loaded and may recognize a browser or device across websites that use their services. Their handling of that information is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Because Rainey LLP does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, the Site does not currently provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism. If these practices change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any legally required choices.

  1. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS

California law requires certain commercial websites to disclose the categories of personal information they collect, the categories of third parties with whom information may be shared, how visitors may request changes, how policy changes are communicated, and the Site’s response to browser tracking signals. Those matters are addressed throughout this Privacy Policy.

If and to the extent the California Consumer Privacy Act or California Privacy Rights Act applies to Rainey LLP and your personal information, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion; to receive information about collection and disclosure; and to be free from discrimination for exercising an applicable right.

Rainey LLP has not sold personal information or shared personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising during the preceding twelve months.

  1. EEA AND UNITED KINGDOM VISITORS

If European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom data-protection law applies, Rainey LLP acts as the controller of personal information submitted to the firm through the Site.

Depending on the circumstances, we process personal information because:

  • Processing is necessary to respond to your request or take steps at your request before entering into an agreement;

  • Processing serves our legitimate interests in responding to inquiries, conducting conflict checks, operating and securing the Site, and managing our professional activities;

  • Processing is necessary to comply with legal or professional obligations; or

  • You have provided consent, where consent is required.

Personal information may be processed in the United States and other locations in which our service providers operate. Where required, international transfers will be made using legally recognized safeguards.

Subject to applicable limitations, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or request portability of your personal information. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal. You may also lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority responsible for your place of residence or work.

  1. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Site is intended for a professional and business audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

  1. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Site, our information practices, or applicable law. We will post the revised policy on this page and change the Effective Date above. If a change materially affects how we use personal information previously collected, we will provide any additional notice required by law.
