Privacy Policy

Effective

This policy explains how MJ Strategies LLC (“we,” “us”) handles information when you use DUI Laws by State at duilawsbystate.com (the “Site”). We collect very little directly. The parts worth reading closely are Advertising and cookies and Your California privacy rights, because this Site is supported by advertising.

Information you give us

If you sign up for update emails, we collect your email address and, so we know what you asked about, the page or state the signup came from. If you email us, we receive whatever you write.

Please don’t send us the details of your case. We are not a law firm and cannot advise you. Email to us is not privileged or confidential, and describing your situation to us gives you none of the protections you would have with an attorney.

If you ask us to connect you with an attorney

Our “connect with a lawyer” form is different from everything else on this Site, because its whole purpose is to pass your details to someone else. When you submit it we collect your name, phone number, email address, and the state where the charge is, and we forward them to a DUI attorney or attorney advertising network so they can contact you. We are paid for that connection.

We also record your consent itself — the exact wording you agreed to, the version, the date and time, and the page you were on — because that is the proof that you asked to be contacted.

We deliberately do not ask what happened. There is no field for your BAC, your charge, your court date, or a description of the incident, and you should not put those details in the form. We are not a law firm and the form is not confidential or privileged.

Once your details reach an attorney or network, they hold them under their own privacy policy and we don’t control what they do with them. If you change your mind, email us and we will withdraw the request and delete our copy — though we can’t claw back a lead already delivered. You can also tell any caller to stop, or reply STOP to a text.

Information collected automatically

  • Analytics. We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics service that records aggregate visit data — pages viewed, approximate region, device type, referring site — without cookies and without building a profile of you across other websites.
  • Server logs. Our hosting provider automatically logs technical data such as IP address, browser type, and request time to keep the Site secure and reliable.

Advertising and cookies

This Site is supported by advertising, which is why it is free to read. Our own analytics set no cookies, but our advertising partners do, and they may collect information about your visit directly from your browser using cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies.

We use Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies and identifiers to serve and measure ads, and in some cases to personalize the ads you see based on your prior visits to this and other sites. You can review and change what Google does with this data at My Ad Center and How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

You can opt out of personalized advertising from many companies at once through the Network Advertising Initiative and YourAdChoices, or turn off personalized ads on this Site directly from our Do Not Sell or Share page.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, ads are served only in line with Google’s EU user consent policy, through a certified consent management platform that asks for your choices before any advertising cookie is set.

How we use information

  • To operate, secure, and improve the Site.
  • To send the update emails you asked for, and to answer messages you send us.
  • To understand which pages are useful, in aggregate.
  • To sell and measure advertising, as described above.
  • To comply with the law and to protect against fraud and abuse.

Who we share information with

  • Hosting and content delivery — to serve and secure the Site.
  • Analytics — a cookieless analytics provider.
  • Email — to store list subscriptions and send the messages you requested.
  • Advertising partners — as described in Advertising and cookies.
  • Attorney advertisers and attorney networks — but only the contact details you submit through the connect-with-a-lawyer form, and only because you asked us to.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the Site.

Your California privacy rights

California law (the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA) defines “sale” and “share” broadly, so here is exactly what happens to your information and what you can do about it.

  • Advertising. Disclosing identifiers to advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising falls within “share.” We treat it that way and let you opt out.
  • The connect-with-a-lawyer form. If you submit it, we pass your contact details to an attorney or attorney network and we are compensated. We do this only when you ask us to and only with the details you chose to give us — but we’d rather state plainly that money changes hands than hide behind a definition. If you don’t want that, simply don’t use the form; nothing else on this Site sends your contact details anywhere.
  • Our email list. We never sell, share, or rent it. Update subscribers are not passed to advertisers.
  • Opt out: use our Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information page.
  • Global Privacy Control: if your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out request automatically — you don’t need to do anything else.
  • Know, delete, correct: you can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email privacy@duilawsbystate.com.
  • No retaliation: we will not deny you service, charge you a different price, or give you a lesser experience for exercising these rights.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.

If you are in the EEA or UK

You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your personal information, and to object to processing. Where we rely on consent — including for advertising cookies — you may withdraw it at any time. Our lawful bases are your consent (email updates, advertising cookies) and our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site. Requests: privacy@duilawsbystate.com.

Retention

We keep your email address until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Server logs and aggregate analytics are kept for a limited period for security and reporting. Advertising partners retain data under their own policies, which we do not control.

Children

The Site is for adults and is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards. No website is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the effective date above, and for material changes — such as adding a new advertising partner — we will say so prominently.
