Privacy Policy
The short version: we have no accounts, we ask for no personal information, and our analytics are cookieless and aggregate-only.
Effective date: July 9, 2026. This policy covers LegalJournal.net and every page linked from the Legal Journal homepage.
What We Collect
Very little. Legal Journal has no user accounts, no sign-up, and no comment system, and no page on the site asks you for personal information. You can read everything we publish without identifying yourself.
Two kinds of data exist because the site runs on the web at all. First, our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps standard server logs, such as requested URLs and IP addresses, for security and operations, as any web host does. Second, we see aggregate analytics, described below. We do not combine either with any other data to identify you, and we do not sell or share data about visitors with anyone.
Analytics and Cookies
The site uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics service. It counts page views and referrers in aggregate without setting cookies, without storing personal data, and without tracking you across other websites. It tells us things like "the Texas court records page got more visits this week," not who you are.
Legal Journal sets no advertising or tracking cookies. There are no third-party ad networks or social-media trackers on the site.
Third-Party Links
Our guides link out to official sources: state judiciary portals, government sites, law-school libraries, and similar. Once you follow a link off this site, that site's own privacy policy applies, not ours. Government portals in particular may log searches or require registration under their own rules, so review their policies if that matters for what you are looking up.
Your Rights and How to Contact Us
Depending on where you live, privacy laws such as the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act give you rights over personal data a site holds about you, including the right to access or delete it. Because we do not collect personal information and our analytics are aggregate and cookieless, there is normally nothing for us to look up or delete. If you have a privacy question or believe we hold something about you, email contact@legaljournal.net (see the contact page) and we will respond.
If we change this policy, the new version will be posted here with an updated effective date. We will not weaken the commitments above without saying so plainly on this page.
