Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 28, 2026

Carmen B. Marquez, P.C., doing business as CBM Estate & Trust Law ("CBM," "we," "us," or "our"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us through our website, located at cbmestate.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices and rights available to you.

This policy covers our website only. It does not apply to information you share with us as a client in the course of legal representation, which is governed separately by the attorney-client relationship, applicable rules of professional conduct, and attorney-client privilege.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Information you provide directly

• Contact details you submit through our contact form, consultation request form, or seminar registration, such as your name, phone number, email address, and mailing address.
• Any details you choose to include in a message to us describing your legal matter or reason for contacting our firm.
• Information you provide when you call, email, or otherwise communicate with our office directly.

Information collected automatically

• Standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device type, and operating system.
• Usage data such as the pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and the site you came from.
• Information collected through cookies and similar technologies, described in more detail below.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations or seminar registrations.
• Communicate with you about our services, upcoming seminars, and firm updates.
• Operate, maintain, and improve our Site and understand how visitors use it.
• Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights, property, and safety of our firm, our clients, and others.

We do not use information submitted through our website to establish an attorney-client relationship. An attorney-client relationship is only formed once we have agreed to represent you in writing, such as through a signed engagement agreement.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our Site may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site functioning properly, remember your preferences (such as your selected language), and understand how visitors interact with our pages. Most browsers let you control or disable cookies through their settings; please note that some parts of the Site may not function properly if cookies are disabled.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers who help us operate our Site, host our data, send email communications, or manage scheduling on our behalf, and who are contractually obligated to protect your information.
• Professional advisors, such as accountants or other attorneys, where necessary to provide services to you.
• Government authorities or other parties when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our firm or others.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to:

• Know what personal information we have collected about you and how it has been used and shared.
• Request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
• Not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
