Privacy policy
This privacy policy explains what we collect, why we collect it and the choices you have.
What we collect
- Account details you give us: name, email address and password (stored hashed).
- Order details needed to process purchases. Card payments are handled by the payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.
- For professionals: listing details and, for attorneys, licensing details used for verification.
- For profile claims: the verification details you submit and any document you upload. Only our verification staff can see them.
- For profiles suggested by the public: the name and email of the person who suggested it, which we never show publicly.
- Course progress, saved topics and messages you send through the site.
- Standard server and security logs.
Privacy-first profiles
Member profiles are private by default. We do not show purchases, submissions or the legal topics you read on any public profile.
What we do not want
Please do not send us confidential details of your legal matter. Our tools are designed to work without them.
Your choices
You can update your details from your account, and ask us to delete your account by contacting us.
Draft — pending owner review.
Overview
Our privacy policy in brief
This privacy policy covers the information you give us and the information the site collects as you use it. First, we collect account details, such as your name and email address. Next, we collect order details we need to process purchases.
Card payments go through our payment processor, so we never store full card numbers. Likewise, documents you upload to claim a directory profile are visible only to our verification staff.
You have choices. For example, you can update your details from your account at any time. In addition, you can ask us to delete your account by contacting us, and you can control cookies in your browser.
Please read the full policy below. For general guidance on online privacy, the FTC consumer advice site is a useful resource.
Lawtopolis provides legal information and education, not legal advice. Using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Laws and court rules vary by jurisdiction and change over time; verify every authority against the official source and consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction about your situation.
