Privacy Policy
Michigan Legal Publishing Ltd. ("we," "us," or "our") operates Court Rules Network at courtrules.net. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
Court Rules Network does not require account registration. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifying information unless you contact us through our contact form. If you do, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide, and retain them to respond to your inquiry.
Information collected automatically
When you use this site, our servers automatically collect standard web server log data, which may include:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Device type (desktop, mobile, or tablet)
- Referring URL (the page that linked you here)
- Pages visited and time of visit
- Search queries entered on this site
We use a privacy-focused analytics tool, served from our own domain, to understand how the site is used in aggregate. We do not use Google Analytics or other cross-site tracking services. We do not use analytics data to identify individual users, and we do not track you across other websites.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain the site
- Diagnose and fix technical problems
- Understand aggregate usage patterns to improve the site (for example, which rules are most viewed, how users navigate the site, and which search queries are most common)
- Respond to inquiries you send us
- Comply with applicable law
We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not build individual user profiles or engage in behavioral advertising.
3. Third-party services
This site is hosted on Railway. Railway may process server log data in connection with hosting services. Please review Railway's privacy policy for details on their data practices.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or other third-party tracking services. We do not embed third-party social media widgets that track users.
4. Data retention
Aggregate analytics data is retained for a limited period and then automatically purged. Server log data is retained for a limited period for operational purposes and then deleted. Email correspondence is retained as long as reasonably necessary to address your inquiry.
5. Security
We use reasonable technical measures to protect information processed by this site, including HTTPS encryption for all connections. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Children's privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
7. Your rights and choices
Because we collect minimal personal data, there is little to access, correct, or delete. You can clear our cookies at any time through your browser settings. If you have contacted us by email and wish to have your correspondence deleted, please let us know and we will accommodate your request where feasible.
Residents of certain states (including California under CCPA and Virginia under VCDPA) may have additional rights regarding personal information. Because we do not sell personal data and collect only minimal information, most of these rights are satisfied by our existing practices. For specific requests, contact us at the address below.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
