Privacy Policy | Rockville Law | Maryland Privacy-First Legal Practice

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025
Last Updated: [Insert Date]

Rockville Law (“we,” “our,” or “the Firm”) is a Maryland-based legal practice built upon a longstanding commitment to privacy, confidentiality, and individual rights. Our approach to privacy is not merely about legal compliance — it is personal, historical, cultural, and rooted deeply in Maryland’s own legacy of data protection.

Maryland has one of the oldest privacy laws in the United States: the Maryland two-party consent “anti-wiretap” law, a statute designed to protect citizens from unauthorized recordings. As a descendant of Maryland’s early Calvert lineage — including family ties linking back to the second Baron of Baltimore — privacy is not simply a professional obligation, but a continuation of Maryland’s long-standing tradition of individual dignity, discretion, and respect for personal autonomy.

We honor that heritage in everything we build, from this law practice to our separate society-benefiting technology initiatives that embrace privacy-first engineering, edge anonymization, and a commitment to protecting people’s data before it is ever collected.

We comply fully with the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act of 2024 (MODPA), the Maryland Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and all ethical obligations governing attorney-client confidentiality. Although Maryland does not mandate cookie consent banners, we voluntarily implement them as a signal of transparency and client respect.
