Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 25, 2026
Document Version: 2.0 (Standard US Consumer Compliance)

At My Legal Helper (“we,” “us,” or “the Site”), our core mission is to make United States civil law and statutory processes clear, accessible, and transparent. We apply that exact same standard of transparency to your personal data.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, and protect information when you visit mylegalhelper.us.

1. Core Principle: Data Minimization

We practice strict data minimization. We do not demand, collect, or process personally identifiable legal documentation. You can read our guides, explore our statutory breakdowns, and use our interactive checkers entirely anonymously.

2. Interactive Tools, Checkers, and Calculators

Our website features client-side tools (such as the Small Claims Eligibility Checker, Debt Statute of Limitations Checker, and Wrongful Termination Calculator).

  • No Data Archiving: The numerical inputs, timeline dates, or state selections you enter into these tools are processed dynamically to generate your immediate result.
  • Zero Retention: We do not store, log, transmit to third parties, or attach your statutory tool inputs to your IP address. Once you close or refresh the tool tab, that session data is permanently purged.

3. Information We Collect

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide

  • Communications: If you reach out to our compliance or editorial desk via our contact forms, we collect your name, email address, and the specific inquiry message. This data is used strictly for customer service follow-ups.
  • Newsletter Subscriptions: If you opt-in to our legal update digests, we collect your email address. You may unsubscribe instantly at any time via the automated link in the footer of any dispatch.

B. Automated Technical Log Data

When you access the Site, our servers automatically record standard web infrastructure data, including:

  • Your masked/anonymized IP address.
  • Browser type, OS version, and device type.
  • Referring exit pages and time-stamped interaction logs.

4. Programmatic Advertising & Google AdSense

To maintain My Legal Helper as a 100% free, open-access consumer resource, we utilize third-party advertising infrastructure to serve contextual and interest-based advertisements.

  • Google AdSense & DoubleClick: Google, acting as a third-party advertising vendor, utilizes cookies to serve ads across this Site.
  • The DART Cookie: Google’s use of the DoubleClick (DART) cookie enables it and its verified partners to serve targeted advertisements to you based on your historical browsing patterns on this Site and other websites across the Internet.
  • Managing Your Ad Preferences: Users hold the absolute right to opt-out of the use of the DART cookie and personalized advertising. You can exercise this choice directly by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy.

5. Third-Party Infrastructure

We utilize secure industry-standard vendors to host and deliver our content:

  • Web Analytics: We use privacy-centric web analytics to count overall readership traffic. We do not track individual user browsing profiles.
  • External Citations: Our articles frequently link to official US government portals (.gov), state legislature databases, Medium, or LinkedIn. Once you click an external link, our privacy jurisdiction ends; please consult the external domain’s privacy ledger.

6. US State Privacy Disclosures (CCPA / CPRA / VCDPA)

Regardless of whether you reside in California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, or Texas, we extend the following universal baseline rights to all American consumers:

  1. The Right to Know: You may ask what data we hold regarding your contact submissions.
  2. The Right to Deletion: You may request the immediate erasure of any editorial email correspondence.
  3. The Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never degrade site speed, hide civil calculators, or put content behind paywalls if you choose to utilize ad-blockers or reject non-essential cookies.
