Your privacy matters to us. Here's a plain-language rundown of what information passes through this site, why we look at it, and how we keep it reasonably secure.
What We Collect
- Basic technical data your browser sends automatically — pages visited and general usage patterns, gathered through server logs and cookies.
- Your IP address, which helps us understand traffic and keep the site running smoothly.
- Whatever you enter into our contact form — name, email address, subject line, and message — when you choose to reach out.
Cookies, in Plain Terms
A cookie is a small piece of text your browser holds onto between visits. We use them mainly to remember basic settings and to get a general sense of how visitors move through the site.
How That Information Gets Used
- Keeping the site running and improving it over time.
- Answering the questions you send us through the contact form.
- Understanding, in aggregate, which pages people find useful.
Outside Services We Link To
This site links out to a few independent third parties, each with its own separate privacy practices:
- Standard Legal — the company that sells the quitclaim deed forms and preparation service referenced throughout this site.
- JustAnswer — an independent attorney Q&A service linked from our Ask an Attorney page.
- Our AI chat assistant's backend — the service that powers the chat tool on this site; see our disclaimer for how that tool handles what you type into it.
Once you leave this site through one of those links, that company's own privacy policy applies, not ours.
Kids and This Site
This site is written for adults handling property paperwork, not for children. We ask that anyone under 13 have a parent or guardian involved before using it.
Keeping Things Secure
We use standard safeguards, including SSL encryption, for information submitted through this site, and we watch for unusual activity on our systems. That said, no method of transmitting data over the internet is ever completely guaranteed, and we can't promise perfect security.
We Don't Sell Your Information
We don't sell, rent, or trade the personal information you share with us to outside marketers.
If This Policy Changes
We may update this policy from time to time as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected here.
