Privacy Policy

When you use our free calculators, we do not require you to provide any personal information. Calculator inputs (state, offense number, BAC level, income) are processed server-side to generate your estimate and are not stored in association with any identifying information.

When you purchase a Defense and Cost Preparation Report, we collect your email address and the intake answers you provide (BAC level, offense details, employment situation, etc.) to generate your personalized report. We also receive the last 4 digits of your payment card from Stripe to enable our report resend verification flow.

We use Vercel Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregate data about site usage including page views and navigation paths. This data does not include personally identifiable information.

Your email address is used to deliver your purchased report and, if needed, to resend access. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent. Your intake answers are used solely to generate your report via AI and are stored with your purchase record for up to 30 days, after which they are deleted along with your report content.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

All payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store your full card number, CVV, or billing address. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy. We receive only the last 4 digits of your card, which are used exclusively for report access verification.

We use browser localStorage (not cookies) to store your dark/light mode preference and to remember that you have dismissed the first-visit legal disclaimer. No personal information is stored in localStorage. We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. We may display third-party advertisements in the future (Google AdSense), which may use cookies governed by Google's privacy policy.

Report purchase records (email, intake answers, report content) are retained for 30 days from purchase, after which the report content and intake answers are deleted. The purchase record itself (transaction ID, amount, date, state) is retained for accounting purposes. Anonymous calculator usage data is retained in aggregate indefinitely.

You may request deletion of your personal information by emailing privacy@duicostcalculator.com. We will respond within 30 days. Because report content is automatically deleted after 30 days, most deletion requests are handled by the automatic expiration process.
