Privacy

You can use our legal guides and calculators without creating an account. We take extra care with court forms and other personal legal information.

1. Court forms and calculators

Our calculators and guided form tools, including the Form 3 drafting tool, are designed to work in your browser. We do not send the names, addresses, court file numbers, case details, answers or completed PDF contents you enter into these tools to Google Analytics. Google Analytics is not loaded on the form-entry and calculator pages.

Do not put personal case details into a website address, search term or message to us. If you save or download a completed form, keep the file somewhere secure on your own device.

2. Optional Google Analytics (currently available)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) only if you choose Allow analytics. It helps us count visits to public guides and improve the site. Google may process device and browser details, cookie identifiers, general browsing activity and IP-related connection information under its Privacy Policy.

Our website analytics code sends only the public page address, without the part after a question mark or # symbol. We skip analytics on pages whose addresses contain those extra details. It does not send search terms, referring addresses, completed form contents or custom events containing your answers. We configure our GA4 tag without Google advertising signals or ad personalization, and do not load it on form-entry pages. This choice is separate from any future advertising consent.

Before you agree, the website does not load the GA4 script. If you choose No thanks, we do not load it. We remember your choice in this browser's local storage so you do not have to answer on every page. You can change it here at any time using Change analytics choice above. Turning analytics off stops future measurement from this browser; it cannot undo information already sent while it was on.

3. Google AdSense and personalized ads (not active yet)

We may use Google AdSense to display ads in the future. There are no AdSense ads, AdSense tracking tags or active advertising partners on this site at this time. We will update the policy and consent controls before enabling them.

When advertisements are enabled, third-party vendors, including Google and any other advertising partners we select, may use cookies and similar technologies to display ads. Those ads may be personalized based on your visits to this website and other websites. Google and those vendors may collect or process information such as IP addresses, device or advertising identifiers and browsing activity under their own policies. Advertising cookies may also be used to measure ads and limit how often you see the same ad.

You can control Google personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can read how Google uses information from partner websites and how AdSense uses cookies. For some other advertising companies, you can also explore industry advertising choices. These settings are separate from our analytics choice.

Our publicly accessible ads.txt file contains a Google publisher entry for prospective advertising authorization. An ads.txt entry does not mean our AdSense account has been approved, that ads are enabled, or that advertising scripts are loaded. We will verify approval and install appropriate consent controls before beginning ad delivery.

Other ad networks: none are currently active. If we use additional advertising vendors, we will name them and link their privacy or opt-out information here before activating those services. We will not claim a partner is active until it actually is.

If we begin serving ads to visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom or Switzerland, we will put a Google-certified consent management platform in place to handle the required advertising choices. The current Allow analytics button does not provide consent for future ads. Until the required controls are installed and tested, we will not enable advertising.

4. Cookies and your choices

• Essential site features: your browser may store settings needed to make the site usable. The analytics choice itself is stored in local storage.
• Optional analytics: Google Analytics cookies and requests occur on eligible public pages only after you allow them. Change your decision using the button above.
• Advertising: advertising cookies are not currently used. If ads are introduced, we will explain and collect the required choices separately.
• Your browser: you can also block or clear cookies and website storage in your browser settings. Clearing storage may make the analytics question reappear.

5. Contact messages and hosting

If you use our Contact page, the information you submit is used to respond to your enquiry. When hosted on Netlify, messages are processed through Netlify Forms. Please do not send confidential legal records, completed court forms or detailed case facts through the contact form. See Netlify's privacy policy.

As with other websites, the hosting provider may process technical request data, including IP addresses, browser details and the pages requested, to deliver the website and maintain security. Government links and other external websites have their own privacy practices.

6. Privacy questions and access requests

To ask what personal information we hold about you, request access or correction, raise a concern, or ask about our privacy practices, contact the site operator through our Contact page. Please keep the initial message general, without sensitive legal details. We will respond to reasonable privacy requests in accordance with applicable law.
