Privacy Policy

Brown & Associates collects the information you choose to submit through our contact, subscription, and access request forms so we can respond to your inquiry and provide requested services.

Information We Collect

Form submissions may include your name, company, email address, phone number, service interest, and message details. We may also receive basic technical information such as browser type and referral source through standard hosting and analytics tools.

How We Use Information

We use submitted information to respond to requests, evaluate service needs, communicate with prospects and clients, and improve the website experience. We do not sell personal information.

STIP Product Analytics

When you use the STIP research tool, we record first-party usage events (for example, that a question was submitted or an answer was generated) along with non-identifying metadata such as jurisdiction, research topic, and answer confidence. The text of your research questions is not stored by this analytics system.

If you are signed in to a STIP account, these events also include a company-level identifier derived from your organization's email domain using a one-way cryptographic hash. This identifier lets us understand how the firms we serve use STIP — for example, which topics or states a client organization researches most — but it does not identify individual users, and events recorded before you sign in carry no such identifier. We use this information to improve answer quality and coverage; we do not sell it or share it outside Brown & Associates.
