How PriorLex handles your information.
PriorLex collects only what is necessary to operate its sites, run voluntary research, and improve the products. This page explains what is collected, why, how long it is kept, and the rights you have over your data.
1. Scope and operator
This policy covers four sites operated as a single ecosystem: PriorLex.us, TrafficTicketPath.com, CaCourtFinder.org, and Juratrack.com. Where one of these sites uses different or additional practices (for example, payment processing on Juratrack), this policy notes the difference.
PriorLex is operated as an early-stage project from California. Where this policy uses "we," "us," or "PriorLex," it refers to that operator.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide voluntarily
- Research surveys. If you complete one of our research surveys (currently distributed through Google Forms in English, Spanish, Turkish, Kurmancî, and Soranî), we receive your responses, the language and form variant you used, and a timestamp.
- Email. If you contact us, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand site usage. This includes pages viewed, referrer, approximate location derived from IP, device type, browser, language, and basic interaction events. Google Analytics is configured with cross-domain tracking across the four sites listed above.
- Server logs. Our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps standard request logs that may include IP address, user agent, and request path. These are used for security and operations, not for marketing.
Payment information
PriorLex.us, TrafficTicketPath.com, and CaCourtFinder.org do not collect payment information. Where Juratrack.com offers paid features, payments are processed by a third-party processor that handles card data directly; PriorLex does not receive or store card numbers.
3. How we use information
- To operate, secure, and improve the four sites.
- To analyze, in aggregate, how users approach official legal procedures, in order to make the products clearer and more useful.
- To respond to messages you send us.
- To meet legal, regulatory, and audit obligations.
We do not use your information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.
4. How we share information
We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information with third parties for their own marketing.
- Service providers. We use providers that process information on our behalf, including Google (Forms, Sheets, Analytics), Vercel (hosting), and similar infrastructure providers. They are bound to use information only to provide their services.
- Aggregated insights. We may publish aggregated, de-identified findings from research data — for example, "X% of respondents in California reported Y." Aggregated outputs do not identify individual respondents.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the service.
5. Cookies and analytics
Our sites use cookies and similar technologies, primarily through Google Analytics 4, to count visits and understand site behavior. You can opt out of Google Analytics in any browser by installing the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.
6. Data retention
| Category | Retention |
|---|---|
| Analytics user-level data (Google Analytics 4) | Up to 14 months, then automatically reset |
| Server request logs | Per Vercel default retention |
| Research survey responses | Kept for the duration of the active research program; aggregated outputs may be retained beyond that |
| Email correspondence | Kept while the matter is active and for a reasonable period after |
7. California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
- Know what personal information we have collected about you.
- Request that we delete personal information we hold about you.
- Request that we correct inaccurate personal information.
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, email info@priorlex.us with the subject line "California privacy request." We may need to verify your identity before responding.
8. European and UK rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with comparable data protection laws, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection over personal data we hold about you.
Our lawful bases for processing are:
- Consent — for survey participation and any optional analytics where consent is required.
- Legitimate interest — for site security, basic analytics, and improving the products.
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable law.
To exercise these rights, email info@priorlex.us.
9. International data transfers
Our service providers are based primarily in the United States. If you submit information from outside the United States, that information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using our sites, you understand that your information may be processed in jurisdictions whose data protection laws differ from those of your home country.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is fully secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children
Our sites are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact info@priorlex.us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the products evolve. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be communicated on the site itself.
13. Contact
For privacy questions, requests, or to exercise any of the rights above, email info@priorlex.us.
