Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

DivorceVirtual ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register on the website, express interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services, participate in activities on the website, or otherwise contact us.

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the website, the choices you make, and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect may include:

• Name and contact information (email address, phone number, etc.)
• Billing and payment information
• Personal details related to your divorce proceedings
• Information about your spouse or partner
• Information about your children, if applicable
• Financial information necessary for divorce filings

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our website and services
• Improve, personalize, and expand our website and services
• Understand and analyze how you use our website and services
• Develop new products, services, features, and functionality
• Communicate with you, including for customer service, updates, and marketing purposes
• Process your transactions and manage your account
• Find and prevent fraud
• For compliance with legal obligations

4. Information Sharing

We may share your information with third parties in the following situations:

• With service providers who perform services for us
• With professional advisors such as lawyers, accountants, and insurers
• With third parties to whom you or your agents authorize us to disclose your personal information
• To comply with legal obligations
• To protect and defend our rights and property
• With a buyer or other successor in the event of a merger, divestiture, restructuring, or other sale

5. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

6. Access by Our Staff

Our own staff can access the information in your account. This is how we answer support questions, investigate problems with your filing, and correct mistakes. It happens through internal administrative tools, through direct access to our databases by the small number of people who maintain the service, and through a restricted feature that lets a member of our staff view the website as you see it in order to reproduce a problem you have reported.

We want to be direct about what this means, because the information you give us is the record most people would least expect anyone else to read. A divorce file contains your finances, your children, and the details of a dispute with another person. Access that happens quietly, with nothing recorded and nothing disclosed, is corrosive to the trust this service depends on — whether or not any law requires us to tell you about it. We have concluded that the honest response is to say plainly that internal access happens, to keep a record of the form of access that carries the most risk, and to constrain that access so that looking cannot change your case.

When a member of our staff views the website as you see it, the following apply:

• The session is read-only. Our staff cannot submit forms, make or change payments, send messages on your behalf, alter your answers, or take any other action in your account while viewing it.
• It is recorded. We keep a record of which staff account viewed which customer account, when it started and when it ended or expired, and the reason the staff member gave for needing it. A reason is required before the session can begin.
• It requires a second authentication step by the staff member at the moment the session begins, in addition to being signed in.
• It is time-limited, and ends automatically.
• Our support chat and your notifications are not available to staff during these sessions, so nothing can be sent to you or read as though it came from you.

Two limits on the above, stated so that you are not left with a broader impression than is accurate. First, this record covers that specific form of access. Routine use of our internal administrative tools, and direct access to our databases by the people who maintain the service, are not individually recorded today; they are governed by limiting who holds that access rather than by a per-access log. Second, we do not notify you of an individual access to your account. We judge the combination of the constraints above, the record we keep, and this disclosure to be the right balance for a service of this size, and we will revisit it as the service grows.

The access record is retained for a bounded period rather than indefinitely, and is not used for any purpose other than accountability for that access. If you want to know whether your account has been viewed by our staff, contact us using the details in the "Contact Information" section below.

7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and use personal information about you and to improve your experience. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service.
