Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information Court Ready Dad ("we", "us", "our") collects when you visit courtreadydad.com or purchase our fillable PDF, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have. By using the site or buying the product you agree to the practices described here.

1. Who is the controller

The controller of your personal data is Court Ready Dad, operator of courtreadydad.com. Court Ready Dad provides documentation tools and educational resources for separated fathers. For privacy questions, data subject requests, or a copy of our registered mailing address, contact support@courtreadydad.com and we will respond within 30 days.

2. Information we collect

• Order data - name, email address, billing country and postal code, and the order details you submit at checkout.
• Payment data - card details are entered directly in the checkout provider's secure fields and are never stored on our servers. We receive only a transaction reference, the card brand, and the last four digits.
• Delivery data - the email address the download link and receipt are sent to.
• Site usage - standard server logs (IP address, user agent, referring page, timestamps) and cookies used for security, cart persistence, and, with your consent where required, aggregate analytics.
• Campaign and attribution data - when you are allowed to be tracked, UTM parameters, ad click IDs (fbclid, gclid, ttclid, msclkid), landing page, referrer, and first-visit time are kept in your browser for up to 30 days. This campaign information is attached to your order in Shopify as internal order attributes.
• Cookie choice - whether you accepted or declined advertising measurement and campaign attribution.
• Support correspondence - if you email us, we retain the message and your address to reply and keep a record.

3. How we use it

• Deliver the digital product you purchased and provide customer support.
• Send transactional emails: order confirmation, download link, receipt, and refund confirmations.
• Detect fraud, secure the site, and comply with tax and accounting obligations.
• Improve the website. We do not add you to marketing lists without your explicit opt-in.

Legal bases (GDPR): performance of the contract for order fulfilment and delivery; legitimate interest for security and fraud prevention; legal obligation for tax records; consent for analytics and marketing where required.

4. Service providers we share data with

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share the minimum necessary data with the following processors, each bound by its own contract and data-protection obligations:

• Shopify Inc. - checkout, order processing, and payment orchestration.
• Email delivery provider - sending transactional emails (download link, receipt) from a Court Ready Dad sender domain.
• Shopify Digital Products app - file delivery: downloadable files are delivered through Shopify's Digital Products app, which handles the order and download details needed to deliver them.
• Tevello Courses & Communities - program platform: the Steady Dad Program is delivered through Tevello Courses & Communities, a Shopify app. To open the Program, the buyer signs in with the email used at purchase and a one-time confirmation code sent to that email. The platform handles that email address and the buyer's Program access and progress. Its handling of data is governed by its own privacy policy.
• Hosting & CDN provider - serving the website and the PDF download reliably and securely.
• Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) - aggregate usage and funnel measurement: which pages are visited, where visitors stop, and how many people start checkout. Loaded only when tracking is allowed under the cookie notice. We use standard configuration, do not enable advertising features such as remarketing, and do not send names, emails, or order data to Google Analytics.
• Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd.) - session analytics: anonymized session recordings, heatmaps, and interaction analysis used to understand how the site is used and improve it. Loaded only when tracking is allowed under the cookie notice, with Clarity's default masking and privacy controls in place. We do not intentionally send personal information such as names or emails to Clarity.
• Meta Platforms - the Meta Pixel advertising measurement receives page views and funnel events, such as viewing the offer and starting checkout, plus identifiers set by Meta cookies, only when tracking is allowed under the cookie notice. We do not send Meta anything typed into the documentation tools, order notes, or family information.

We may also disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

Records entered in the private web app are stored locally on the user's device and are not sent to us. The fillable PDFs stay on the user's computer and are never uploaded to us.

5. International transfers

Our service providers are located primarily in the United States and the European Union. Where personal data is transferred outside your country, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards required by applicable law.

6. Cookies & analytics

See our Cookie Policy. Strictly necessary browser storage keeps the cart, selected country, and cookie choice working. Campaign attribution uses first-party browser storage for up to 30 days when tracking is allowed. Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity are used for aggregate usage and session analytics, and the Meta Pixel measures advertising page views and funnel events; each of these loads only under the choices described in the cookie notice. Shopify uses its own cookies on checkout pages. You can reopen Cookie settings from the footer at any time.

7. Data retention

• Order and invoice records - retained for at least 7 years to meet accounting and tax obligations.
• Support emails - retained for up to 2 years after the last message, then deleted.
• Server logs - retained for up to 90 days.
• Analytics data - aggregated and retained for up to 14 months.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR, the California CCPA/CPRA, or similar laws), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to certain uses, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise these rights, email support@courtreadydad.com from the address used for your order. We do not use automated decision-making that produces legal effects on you.

9. Security

We use HTTPS in transit, access controls on our systems, and vetted processors for storage and payments. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; if we ever become aware of a personal-data breach affecting you, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.

10. Children

Our product is intended for adults dealing with custody documentation. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

11. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version. Material changes will be announced on this page.
