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 request a free Defense and Cost Preparation Report or ask us to connect you with an attorney, we collect the information you provide. This can include your name, email address, phone number, county or ZIP, and case details (BAC level, offense number, arrest timing, employment situation, and similar intake answers). We also record your consent to be contacted, along with the date, the wording you agreed to, and the IP address the request came from.

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 report and, if needed, to resend access. Your intake answers are used to generate your report and are stored with your report record for up to 30 days, after which the report content and intake answers are deleted.

Your contact details and case information are also used to connect you with attorneys, as described in the next section.

DUIcostcalculator.com is not a law firm, is not a lawyer referral service, and does not provide legal advice. When you ask us to connect you with an attorney or request a free report, we sell and share your personal information with third-party attorneys, law firms, and attorney lead buyers, and we are compensated when we do.

The categories of personal information we sell or share are: identifiers (name, email address, phone number, county or ZIP), case and qualification information (offense number, arrest timing, BAC estimate, whether you already have an attorney, employment situation), and inferences drawn from that information. We share this with licensed attorneys, law firms, and the lead buyers who route requests to them, for the purpose of connecting you with an attorney who can help with your case.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar state laws, you have the right to: know and access the personal information we collect; delete it; correct it; opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information; limit the use of sensitive personal information; designate an authorized agent to act for you; and not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

To opt out, use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page, or email privacy@duicostcalculator.com.

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If your browser or a browser extension sends a GPC opt-out signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for that browser.

Our calculators and reports are currently free, so we do not collect payment information from you. If we offer a paid product in the future, payments would be processed by Stripe, and we would not store your full card number, CVV, or billing address. Stripe's privacy policy is available at stripe.com/privacy.

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 records (email, intake answers, report content) are retained for 30 days from the date you request them, after which the report content and intake answers are deleted. Anonymous calculator usage data is retained in aggregate indefinitely.

Lead and consent records (your contact details, case information, and proof of the consent you gave) are retained for at least four years to document consent and meet legal recordkeeping obligations, after which they are deleted or de-identified.

You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information using our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page. To access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to use an authorized agent, email privacy@duicostcalculator.com. We will respond within 30 days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
