Privacy Policy

Our Approach to Privacy

We built this site to educate people about North Carolina car accident law -- not to collect your personal information. Our privacy practices reflect this: we collect as little data as possible, we do not track you for marketing purposes, and we do not sell or share your information with anyone.

This page explains exactly what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it. We believe in the same transparency here that we bring to our legal education content.

What Data We Collect

Information You Do Not Provide

This site has:

• No contact forms -- we do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or any personal details
• No login or account system -- there are no user accounts
• No email newsletter signup -- we do not collect email addresses
• No chat widgets or intake forms -- we are not a law firm and do not take cases
• No comment sections -- there is no user-generated content

Because we do not have any of these features, we do not collect any personally identifiable information that you actively provide.

Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure automatically collects certain technical information when you visit. This may include:

• IP address -- used by our hosting provider for security and to deliver the website to your browser
• Browser type and version -- helps ensure the site displays correctly
• Device type -- helps us optimize for mobile and desktop visitors
• Pages visited and time on page -- helps us understand which content is most useful
• Referring URL -- tells us how you found our site

This information is collected automatically by our hosting and analytics infrastructure and is not used to identify individual visitors.

Analytics

We use minimal analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us know which topics people care about most, which pages need improvement, and how people navigate through our content.

Our analytics are used solely to improve the educational value of this site. We do not use analytics data for advertising, remarketing, or any form of targeted marketing.

We do not build user profiles. We do not track you across other websites. We do not use analytics data to serve you ads or sell you anything.

Cookies

This site uses only cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly. We do not use:

• Marketing cookies -- we have nothing to market
• Advertising cookies -- we do not run ads
• Third-party tracking cookies -- we do not allow other companies to track you through our site
• Social media cookies -- we do not embed social media tracking pixels

If you prefer, you can configure your browser to block all cookies. The site will still function normally.

Third-Party Services

This site uses a limited number of third-party services to operate:

• Hosting provider -- serves the website to your browser. Our hosting provider may collect standard server logs as described in the "Automatically Collected Information" section above.
• Content delivery network (CDN) -- may be used to deliver the site faster to visitors in different geographic locations. CDNs may collect basic technical data for performance optimization.

We do not embed third-party content that independently tracks visitors, such as social media widgets, advertising networks, or third-party analytics platforms that build cross-site profiles.

How We Use Your Data

The limited data we collect is used for:

• Operating the website -- delivering pages to your browser
• Understanding content usage -- knowing which pages are visited helps us prioritize content updates
• Security -- detecting and preventing abuse or attacks
• Site improvement -- identifying technical issues and improving page performance

We do not use your data for:

• Advertising or marketing
• Building personal profiles
• Selling or sharing with third parties
• Sending unsolicited communications
• Any form of retargeting or remarketing

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with any third party. Period.

The only exceptions to this are:

• Hosting and infrastructure providers that process data on our behalf to operate the website (they are bound by their own privacy policies)
• Legal requirements -- if we are compelled by law to disclose information (such as a valid court order), we would comply with applicable legal obligations

Data Retention

Server logs and analytics data are retained for a limited period and then deleted. We do not maintain long-term archives of visitor data.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• The right to know what data is collected about you
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to opt out of data collection
• The right to access your data

Because we collect minimal data and do not maintain individual user records, there is generally no personally identifiable data for us to provide, delete, or modify. If you have concerns, you can contact us using the information below.

Changes to This Policy

If we make significant changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "last updated" date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Contact About Privacy

If you have questions or concerns about our privacy practices, you can reach us through the contact information on our About page. We take privacy seriously and will respond to legitimate inquiries.

Summary

We believe privacy is straightforward when your business model does not depend on user data. We are an educational website. We do not collect your personal information. We do not track you for marketing. We do not sell your data. We use minimal analytics to improve our content, and that is it.
