This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Our Terms of Use, and Our Terms of Use and Terms of Service also apply to information you provide to Us through the website or by using Our services.
If you are a California resident, please review Our Notice at Collection and Privacy Policy for California Residents and see the applicable state-specific section below.

This policy describes the types of information We may collect from you when you visit Our website(s), including www.illinoisdivorceforall.com and/or Our mobile application(s) (collectively, Our "Site"). This policy also covers information We collect about you offline, from third parties, or when you visit one of Our locations or contact Us by phone. This policy describes Our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that information.
Please read this policy carefully to understand Our policies and practices regarding your information and how We will treat it. This policy may change from time to time (see Changes to Our Privacy Policy).
Information collection
“Personal information” is information that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be linked with you or your household. The definition of Personal Information does not include publicly available information from federal, state, or local government records, such as professional licenses and real estate or property records.
“Sensitive Personal Information” (“SPI”) is a subset of Personal Information that includes certain government identifiers (such as social security numbers); an account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number with any required security code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; precise geolocation; contents of mail, email and text messages; genetic data; biometric information processed to identity a consumer; information concerning a consumer’s health, sex life, or sexual orientation; or information about racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership.
As a general rule, We limit the Personal Information We collect to that which is necessary for Us to provide Our services. We collect several types of Personal Information from and about you, including:
- Information provided by you, such as name, address, email address, telephone number, and other personally identifying information. For example, We collect information from you when you register online or fill out a questionnaire on Our Site;
- Information provided by third parties about you. As part of Our services, We may also collect information from your attorneys, your current or former spouse, and third-party reporting services, including, for example, information about your marriage, properties, debts, assets, and contact information; We may also receive information from third party websites and applications, such as payment processors or social media sites that you may have used to “Share” or “Forward” information from or about Us; and
- Information collected automatically as you navigate through the Site. Information collected automatically may include usage details, domain address, IP addresses, internet browser, operating system, your internet connection, the device or equipment you use to access Our Site, location information, and information collected through cookies, pixels, web beacons, or other tracking technologies.

As such, Social Security numbers may only be accessed by and disclosed to Our associates and others with a legitimate business purpose in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Social Security numbers, whether in paper or electronic form, are subject to physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards. These restrictions apply to all Social Security numbers collected or retained by Us in connection with customer, current or former spouse of customer, employee, or other relationships.

Global privacy controls
Certain web browsers or extensions may offer you the ability to turn on a global privacy control (“GPC”) signal that will allow you to opt out of the sale of your data if it is activated. Other web browsers may not offer the GPC signal. We recognize and honor global privacy control signals on browsers that support it, but your choice to opt out may not be recognized if you subsequently use another browser or device that does not support GPC signals. Please note that We currently do not associate your browser or device IP address with your email address or other account information, so if you choose to opt out from the sale of your IP address by using a GPC signal, it may not affect your advertising or marketing choices for your email address or account information. You may select your communication preferences within your account and adjust your cookie settings through Our Do Not Sell My Personal Information pop up.
Controlling your cookies
To sign up for information or services with Us, you must have cookies enabled on your internet browser. If you choose not to enable cookies, you will still be able to browse Our Site, but it will restrict some of the functionality of Our Site and what you can do.
We may use Tracking Technologies, including cookies, to provide you with a personalized experience. Cookies can be used to do several things, for example, enabling certain functions of the Site, enhancing security, improving functionality, remembering your preferences, or counting the number of people looking at Our Site (analytics). We also may use them to keep track of what you’ve done on the Site, and how to get you back to where you were during your last visit.
First party cookies originate from the same domain as the website you’re currently visiting. Third-party cookies originate from a domain that’s different from the website being visited. For example, when you visit Our website, We may link to another company’s website, or another company like Google Analytics, Bing Analytics, and/or Facebook, may place cookies on your device to provide Us with analytics on Our website visitors, to let Us know if you view Our content, or provide advertising to you. We don’t control how these third parties use their cookies, so We suggest you check their website to see how they’re using them and how you can manage them. How Google/Doubleclick uses Cookies is here; Bing/Microsoft’s privacy policy is here; and Facebook’s privacy policy is here
Information on controlling and deleting cookies, including on a wide variety of browsers, is also available at
allaboutcookies.org.
Some of the more popular browsers (and links to maintain your cookies on each) are:
Microsoft Edge

Safari
Google Chrome
It is not currently possible for you to synchronize your cookie settings between your browsers and devices (e.g., your computer and your smartphone), so you must manage your cookies on each browser and on each device you use.

If you wish to change your marketing preferences, you may click the link on any email you receive from Us, or use the information in Our Contacting Us section below to opt out of the sharing of your information for marketing purposes.
