Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 16, 2026

FamilyLawTools LLC respects the privacy of the attorneys, legal professionals, self-represented parties, and other individuals who use familylaw.tools and our related software and services, collectively, the “Platform.”

Understanding what happens to your information should not require reading twenty pages of legal jargon. This Privacy Notice explains what information we collect, what we do with it, when we disclose it, and the choices available to you.

We distinguish between two very different types of information:

  1. Case Data, meaning the financial information, client information, family information, calculations, factual information, and other material you enter into our legal tools; and
  2. Account and Usage Data, meaning information associated with your FamilyLawTools account and your use of the Platform.

We treat these categories differently.

1. Case Data

The information you enter into our calculators, worksheets, document generators, and other legal tools may contain highly sensitive personal, financial, family, and legal information. We refer to this information collectively as “Case Data.”

We do not sell Case Data. We do not provide Case Data to advertisers, marketing companies, sponsors, affiliates, or data brokers. We do not use Case Data to build advertising profiles or market unrelated products or services to you.

We use Case Data only as necessary to provide the functionality you request. That includes performing calculations, generating forms or documents, displaying results, saving information when a feature permits you to save your work, and performing related technical operations necessary to provide the Platform.

Case Data may include information concerning people other than the registered user, including spouses, former spouses, children, clients, opposing parties, witnesses, attorneys, and other individuals involved in a legal proceeding. You should enter only information reasonably necessary for the task you are performing.

Where a Platform feature requires Case Data to pass through our servers or infrastructure providers, that processing occurs only as necessary to provide the requested functionality. Our service providers do not receive Case Data for their own advertising or marketing purposes.

If applicable law requires consent before we process a particular category of sensitive personal information, we will request that consent when required.

2. Information We Collect

We follow a data-minimization approach. We do not ask for information merely because it might someday be useful.

2.1 Account Information

When you create or maintain an account, we may collect:

  1. your name;
  2. your email address;
  3. your account credentials;
  4. account preferences;
  5. subscription or account status, if applicable; and
  6. communications you send to us concerning your account or the Platform.

We do not disclose your password to marketing partners, sponsors, or affiliates.

2.2 Case Data

Case Data consists of information that you voluntarily enter into a Platform tool.

Depending on the tool you use, Case Data may include:

  1. income and employment information;
  2. assets and liabilities;
  3. bank, investment, retirement, or property information;
  4. child support or maintenance information;
  5. names and information concerning parties or children;
  6. parenting-related information;
  7. dates associated with a marriage, separation, filing, or court proceeding;
  8. information used to prepare Colorado domestic-relations forms;
  9. calculations generated from information you provide; and
  10. other information you choose to enter when generating a document or calculation.

The collection of Case Data depends entirely on the feature you choose to use.

2.3 Technical and Usage Information

When you access the Platform, our systems may automatically receive basic technical information, including:

  1. IP address;
  2. browser type and version;
  3. operating system;
  4. device type;
  5. date and time of access;
  6. login activity;
  7. referring pages;
  8. pages and features accessed;
  9. error and diagnostic information; and
  10. general interaction information concerning use of the Platform.

We use this information to operate the Platform, diagnose problems, improve performance, prevent abuse, maintain security, and understand how users interact with our services.

3. How We Use Information

We may use Account and Usage Data to:

  1. create and administer user accounts;
  2. authenticate users;
  3. maintain account security;
  4. provide requested Platform functionality;
  5. respond to support requests;
  6. communicate about your account;
  7. notify you about material changes to the Platform;
  8. troubleshoot errors;
  9. analyze Platform performance;
  10. develop and improve features;
  11. prevent fraud, misuse, and unauthorized access;
  12. comply with legal obligations;
  13. enforce our agreements and policies; and
  14. operate, maintain, and develop FamilyLawTools.

We do not use Case Data for general advertising or marketing.

4. Marketing, Sponsors, and Our Partner Ecosystem

FamilyLawTools may work with companies, organizations, legal-service providers, sponsors, and other businesses whose products or services may be relevant to attorneys, legal professionals, or self-represented parties.

To support and grow the Platform, we may disclose, license, or sell limited Account and Usage Data to selected third parties for advertising, marketing, sponsorship, or business-development purposes.

This may include:

  1. your name;
  2. your email address; and
  3. general information about how you use the Platform that does not reveal the contents of your Case Data.

This does not include Case Data.

We do not provide a sponsor or marketing partner with the financial information, facts, client information, documents, calculations, or other substantive information you enter into a FamilyLawTools legal tool.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, targeted advertising, or similar uses, you may exercise that right as described below.

5. Service Providers

We rely on third-party service providers to operate portions of the Platform.

These providers may include companies that provide:

  1. web hosting and cloud infrastructure;
  2. database infrastructure;
  3. security services;
  4. email delivery;
  5. website analytics;
  6. authentication services;
  7. error monitoring;
  8. payment processing, if applicable;
  9. content delivery; and
  10. other technical services necessary to operate the Platform.

We provide service providers only with the information reasonably necessary for the service they perform.

Service providers may process information on our behalf but are not authorized by us to use Case Data for unrelated advertising or marketing.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Platform uses cookies and similar browser technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the Platform to function. For example, cookies may:

  1. keep you logged into your account;
  2. maintain a secure session;
  3. remember preferences;
  4. prevent unauthorized access;
  5. maintain application state; or
  6. improve Platform performance.

We may also use cookies or similar technologies to understand traffic patterns and how visitors use the Platform.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking cookies that are necessary for authentication or application functionality may prevent portions of the Platform from working correctly.

7. Analytics

We may use services such as Google Analytics to measure website traffic and understand how visitors interact with the Platform.

Analytics providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser information, device information, approximate location derived from an IP address, and information about pages you visit.

We do not intentionally provide Case Data to analytics providers for advertising or profiling purposes.

8. Fonts and Other Externally Hosted Resources

The Platform may load fonts, scripts, libraries, or other resources from third-party providers, including services such as Google Fonts or Adobe Fonts.

When your browser requests a resource directly from a third-party provider, that provider may receive ordinary network information associated with the request, including your IP address, browser information, and the page making the request.

The privacy practices of those providers are governed by their own policies.

9. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Services

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites, products, or services.

Some links may be affiliate links. If you follow an affiliate link and purchase a product or service, FamilyLawTools may receive compensation or a commission. This does not increase the price you pay unless expressly stated otherwise.

Following a third-party link takes you outside the FamilyLawTools Platform. We do not control how another company collects, uses, stores, or discloses information after you leave our Platform.

You should review the privacy terms of a third-party service before providing information to it.

10. Data Retention

We do not intend to keep personal information simply because storage is inexpensive.

We retain Account and Usage Data for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  1. maintain your account;
  2. provide the Platform;
  3. maintain appropriate business and security records;
  4. resolve disputes;
  5. investigate misuse;
  6. comply with applicable law; and
  7. enforce our agreements.

Retention of Case Data depends on the particular feature being used. Case Data is retained only as reasonably necessary to provide the feature for which it was submitted, including any functionality that intentionally allows a user to save or return to work.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary for an operational, contractual, security, or legal purpose, we may delete or de-identify it.

Backup systems may retain copies for a limited period after information is removed from active systems.

11. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

These measures may include access controls, authentication controls, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, secure infrastructure, and limitations on access to sensitive information.

No internet-connected system can guarantee absolute security. Our security obligations do not change the fundamental distinction in this Notice: Case Data is not sold or disclosed to advertisers, sponsors, or marketing partners.

If we discover a security incident requiring notice under applicable law, we will provide legally required notifications.

12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and whether a particular privacy law applies to FamilyLawTools, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These rights may include the right to:

  1. request access to personal information we maintain about you;
  2. request correction of inaccurate personal information;
  3. request deletion of certain personal information;
  4. request a portable copy of certain personal information;
  5. opt out of the sale of personal information;
  6. opt out of the sharing of personal information for targeted advertising;
  7. opt out of certain forms of profiling;
  8. withdraw consent where processing depends on consent; or
  9. appeal certain decisions concerning a privacy request when applicable law provides an appeal right.

These rights are subject to applicable statutory exceptions.

A request to delete information does not necessarily require deletion of information that we must retain for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, or another lawful purpose.

You may submit a privacy request using the contact information published on the Platform.

We may take reasonable steps to verify that a person making a request is the individual to whom the information relates or is otherwise authorized to make the request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right provided by applicable law.

13. Opting Out of Sale, Sharing, or Targeted Advertising

FamilyLawTools may sell or share limited Account and Usage Data as described in Section 4.

We do not sell or share Case Data for advertising or marketing purposes.

If applicable law gives you the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, you may submit an opt-out request through the method provided on the Platform.

Where required by applicable law, we will also recognize legally valid browser-based or universal opt-out preference signals.

An opt-out relating to Account or Usage Data does not affect our ability to use information as reasonably necessary to maintain your account, provide services you request, prevent fraud, maintain security, or comply with law.

14. Colorado Residents

Colorado law may provide eligible Colorado residents with rights concerning personal data, including rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain certain personal data, as well as rights to opt out of certain sales of personal data, targeted advertising, and qualifying profiling.

If the Colorado Privacy Act applies to our processing of your personal data, you may exercise the rights available to you under that law through the privacy-request methods provided on the Platform.

Where required, we will honor recognized universal opt-out mechanisms.

15. California Residents

California law may provide eligible California residents with additional rights concerning personal information.

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act or other applicable California privacy law applies to FamilyLawTools, eligible California residents may exercise the rights provided by that law, which may include rights concerning access, correction, deletion, and the sale or sharing of personal information.

We do not sell or share Case Data for behavioral advertising or marketing purposes.

Where required by California law, we will provide a method allowing eligible users to opt out of covered sales or sharing of personal information and will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals.

16. Information Concerning Children

FamilyLawTools is intended for adult users.

We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to create accounts or directly provide personal information to us through an account-registration process.

A legal professional, parent, guardian, or other adult user may enter information concerning a child when that information is relevant to a family-law calculation or document. Such information is treated as Case Data and is subject to the protections described in this Notice.

The Platform is not directed to children and should not be used by children to create their own accounts.

17. United States Operations

FamilyLawTools is operated from the United States and is designed primarily for use in connection with the United States legal system.

Our servers and service providers may process and store information in the United States.

We do not specifically target residents of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions in which operation of the Platform would subject FamilyLawTools to privacy requirements that we have not expressly undertaken to support.

If you access the Platform from outside the United States, information you provide may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

18. Legal Process and Required Disclosures

We may disclose personal information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

  1. comply with applicable law;
  2. respond to a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful governmental demand;
  3. investigate fraud, misuse, or unlawful activity;
  4. protect the rights or property of FamilyLawTools;
  5. protect the security or integrity of the Platform;
  6. enforce our agreements;
  7. protect the safety of our users, personnel, or others; or
  8. establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

The existence of a legal demand does not convert Case Data into marketing data. We do not voluntarily provide Case Data to third parties for advertising simply because we reserve the ability to comply with legally binding process.

19. Business Transactions

FamilyLawTools may undergo a corporate transaction in the future.

If FamilyLawTools is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar transaction, personal information may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction.

Any successor receiving personal information through such a transaction will receive that information subject to applicable law and the commitments governing the information at the time of transfer.

20. De-Identified and Aggregated Information

We may create aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be linked to a particular person.

For example, we may calculate how many users accessed a particular calculator during a month or which Platform features receive the most traffic.

We may use aggregated or de-identified information for analytics, product development, business planning, research, and other lawful purposes.

We do not intentionally create marketing profiles from identifiable Case Data.

21. Email and Platform Communications

We may use your email address to send communications concerning:

  1. account administration;
  2. security;
  3. requested support;
  4. service interruptions;
  5. changes to Platform functionality;
  6. changes to our agreements or policies;
  7. new FamilyLawTools features; and
  8. other information relating to the Platform.

We may also send promotional communications where permitted by law.

Where required, promotional email will include a method to unsubscribe. Unsubscribing from promotional communications does not prevent us from sending transactional, account, security, or legally required notices.

22. Do Not Track and Privacy Preference Signals

Browsers and devices may provide mechanisms for communicating privacy preferences.

Traditional “Do Not Track” signals do not operate under a single universally accepted standard.

Where applicable law requires FamilyLawTools to recognize a particular universal opt-out mechanism or privacy preference signal, we will honor qualifying signals in the manner required by that law.

23. Changes to this Privacy Notice

FamilyLawTools will continue to develop, and our privacy practices may change as we add features, vendors, or services.

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time.

When we revise it, we will update the Effective Date at the top of this Notice. If a change materially affects how we use or disclose personal information, we may also provide additional notice through the Platform, by email, or through another reasonable method.

Changes apply prospectively unless otherwise stated or permitted by law.

Your continued use of the Platform after an updated Privacy Notice becomes effective constitutes acknowledgment of the revised Notice to the extent permitted by law.

24. Contacting FamilyLawTools

Questions about this Privacy Notice or our privacy practices may be submitted using the contact information provided on familylaw.tools.

Privacy requests should identify the nature of the request and provide enough information for us to reasonably verify the account or individual associated with the request.

Please do not send sensitive Case Data by ordinary email unless we specifically request it through an appropriate method.
