PRIVACY POLICY

Effective as of February 1, 2026 (the “Effective Date”) 

This Privacy Policy (this “Policy”) describes how Fast Divorce, Inc. (“Fast Divorce”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit or interact with fastdivorce.com and related public webpages, forms, and resources (the “Site”). 

If you become a paying client, additional privacy practices related to document preparation, filing, and case administration are governed by your Client Agreements (including the Master Services Agreement and its privacy-related exhibits). 

  1. Key Disclosures 
  • We do not sell personal information. 
  • We do not share personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising as defined by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). 
  • We do not sell your case data. 
  • We do not use automated decision‑making to deny access to services or make legal determinations about your rights or obligations. 
  • Court filings are generally public records unless a judge orders otherwise. Where legally permitted and if you select applicable privacy‑oriented options, we may structure filings to reduce the amount of sensitive detail in public documents, subject to court rules and judicial approval. This is not a guarantee of sealed, confidential, or entirely private records.

  • Inquiry and communication content (such as messages you send through web forms, email, SMS/MMS, or phone).

  • To process pre‑engagement payments or deposits (if offered). 
  • To detect, prevent, and respond to security incidents, fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms and policies. 
  • With your consent, to publish testimonials or success stories that identify you (otherwise, we may use feedback in de‑identified or anonymized form).

  • California Superior Courts and court‑connected entities. 
  • E‑filing service providers (EFSPs) and court clerks. 
  • Process servers and related legal support services.

  1. Cookies and Similar Technologies 

We use cookies, web beacons, SDKs, and similar technologies to keep sessions secure, remember certain preferences, and understand how the Site is used so we can improve it. 

You can control cookies via your browser settings. If you block or delete cookies, some Site features may not function properly. 

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals on our websites where technically feasible and treat them as a request to opt out of sale/sharing (even though we do not sell or share personal information as defined by CPRA). 

  1. No Sale / No Sharing 

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information for cross‑context behavioral advertising as defined by CPRA. We also do not sell or share mobile numbers with third parties for their own marketing purposes. 

  1. Data Security 

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information under our control. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. 

Payment information is processed through PCI‑compliant third‑party payment processors. We do not store full card numbers or CVV codes on our own servers. 

If we learn of a security incident that compromises the privacy or security of personal information, we will investigate, take reasonable steps to contain and remediate the incident, and provide notifications as required by applicable law. 

  1. Retention 

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal and accounting obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by category and context. Typical ranges (measured from the later of completion of services or last meaningful interaction) include: 

  • Identifiers and contact information: at least 1 year and up to 3 years (recordkeeping and support). 
  • Court and case data; service-of-process data (for clients): typically 1–3 years, or longer if required by court rules, orders, statutes of limitation, or LDA laws. 
  • Financial and billing metadata: typically 4–7 years (tax/accounting and dispute resolution). 
  • Content of communications (Portal, email, SMS): typically 1–3 years, subject to legal holds or disputes. 
  • Technical and usage data: up to 2 years (often shorter in rolling logs or aggregated form). 
  • Sensitive personal information (if collected): only as long as necessary for the specific filing, verification, or legal purpose. 

When personal information is no longer needed, we aim to securely delete or irreversibly de‑identify it consistent with our retention schedule and legal requirements. 

  1. Your Privacy Rights (California) 

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), subject to exceptions. These rights may include:
