Current pre-launch data practices
CA Court Deadlines Privacy Policy
The CA Court Deadlines Privacy Policy describes the behavior of the current static site and repository configuration. The service has no accounts and no database for calculator submissions. Calculation inputs are processed locally in your browser, but share links and ordinary web infrastructure create limits that users should understand before entering dates.
This policy distinguishes what is true now from features that might be configured later. No analytics provider is currently configured by default, and there is no active advertising integration. Conditional descriptions below do not mean those services are presently active.
CA Court Deadlines Privacy Policy Summary
The current CA Court Deadlines Privacy Policy is built around data minimization. A visitor can read guides and use supported calculators without registering, signing in, or creating a saved case profile. The application does not provide a server-side database for storing the dates and calculation options submitted through the calculator interface.
“Local” does not mean “secret under every circumstance.” When a user creates or copies a parameterized share URL, selected dates and settings can become visible in the address itself. Browsers, recipients, hosting systems, and security tools may handle that URL. Users should enter only the minimum date information required to perform a calculation and should never use the tool as a place to record a client or case narrative.
Court Calculator Privacy Practices for Inputs
Court calculator privacy practices begin in the browser. Dates, direction, counting unit, and supported service choices are processed locally in your browser to produce a result. The current calculator does not send those form values to an application database for a user history, account record, or case-management file. Reloading a plain calculator page does not retrieve a private server-side profile because no such profile exists.
A share feature works differently because it represents selected inputs as URL parameters. That design helps a recipient restore the same calculator state, but it also makes the shared values readable to anyone who receives or gains access to the complete URL. The safest practice is to use dates and generic options only. The calculator does not need a person’s identity or a description of the dispute to count days.
Information the Site Does Not Ask For
The calculators do not ask users to create credentials or submit names, case numbers, or confidential facts. They do not require party names, lawyer names, court documents, addresses, telephone numbers, payment details, or a written explanation of the legal matter. Those details do not improve calendar arithmetic and should not be placed in date fields, shared URLs, or feedback messages.
CA Court Deadlines data privacy depends partly on the choices a visitor makes. Entering a date alone generally reveals less than combining it with identifying text. Although date inputs are constrained by the interface, users should still review a copied URL before sending it and avoid adding sensitive material to browser notes, link labels, or messages that accompany it. For a case-specific hearing, obtain the date through the official court workflow described in the court-date lookup guide.
Share Links, Browser History, and Hosting Logs
A parameterized link may include an entered trigger date, calculation direction, rule selection, or other state needed to restore a result. Anyone with that complete link may be able to read the parameters without opening the page. Messaging systems, collaboration tools, email services, screenshots, and forwarded messages can preserve or redistribute the link beyond the original recipient.
The same URL may remain in browser history or ordinary hosting and security logs. Web hosts, content-delivery systems, and security services commonly record request information needed to deliver pages, diagnose failures, prevent abuse, or investigate attacks. Such records may include an IP address, time, requested path, user-agent information, and URL parameters. This policy does not claim those operational records are absent or that the project controls every system through which a shared link travels.
The practical privacy guidance is therefore simple: do not encode more than the calculator requires, remove parameters before bookmarking a general reference page, and avoid sharing a result URL when the dates themselves are sensitive. A printed or copied result should be handled according to the confidentiality duties that apply to the user’s work.
Analytics Are Not Currently Configured
No analytics provider is currently configured in the repository default. Google Analytics may load only when deployment configuration supplies an analytics ID. Without that deployment value, the application does not render the Google Analytics integration. This conditional code path should not be read as a statement that Google Analytics presently runs for every visitor.
If analytics is proposed for a deployment, this CA Court Deadlines Privacy Policy will be updated before the feature is enabled. The revision should identify the provider, explain the information and technologies involved, describe available user choices, and give an effective date. A deployment should not silently convert the current “not configured” practice into an undisclosed collection practice.
Operational hosting and security logs are separate from product analytics. Their possible existence does not mean a behavioral analytics provider is active, and the absence of a configured analytics ID does not eliminate routine request records created by infrastructure. The distinction matters when evaluating court calculator privacy practices accurately.
Advertising and Third-Party Cookies
The current repository has no active advertising integration. It does not presently load an AdSense placement as part of the default application. The project does not state that an ad network receives calculator inputs, because no such advertising code is enabled in the current configuration.
If advertising is enabled later, the policy will be revised before activation. A future Google AdSense or other advertising integration could use third-party cookies, local storage, device identifiers, request information, or similar technologies under the provider’s own terms and choices. The updated notice would identify the active service and explain applicable consent or opt-out controls. This paragraph is conditional planning, not a present-tense provider claim.
The site itself may use strictly necessary browser mechanisms when required for basic functions, but the current calculators do not need an account cookie to retrieve saved cases. Visitors can review the address bar to understand share parameters and can use browser controls to clear history or site data, recognizing that those controls do not erase copies held by recipients or ordinary infrastructure logs.
External Court and Statute Links
Guides and results link to California court, legislative, and other official resources so users can verify the governing text. Following an external link leaves this privacy policy and sends a request to a separate website. That operator may receive ordinary request information and apply its own privacy notice, cookies, access rules, retention practices, or account requirements.
CA Court Deadlines data privacy statements do not govern an external court portal. Users should inspect the destination and its policy before entering a case number or other identifying data. The guides hub distinguishes official lookup steps from local deadline calculation, helping visitors send case-specific information only to the court system that is authorized to handle it.
Children's Privacy, Changes, and Contact
The service is a general legal-information tool and is not directed to children. It does not knowingly ask a child to create an account or submit personal information. A parent or guardian who believes a child supplied identifying information through a future contact channel should identify the concern without repeating sensitive details unnecessarily.
Material changes to court deadline calculator privacy policy practices will be described here with an updated date before a new analytics or advertising integration is activated. Minor wording changes may clarify existing behavior, but they will not be used to disguise a new provider or collection purpose. The current policy should always be read together with the visible configuration and the limits described above.

Quick Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need an Account to Use the Calculator?
No account is required. Calculations run in the browser from the dates and options you enter rather than being saved to a user profile.
Can Calculator Inputs Appear in the Page URL?
Yes. The calculator can place selected inputs in URL parameters so a result can be restored or shared. Anyone who receives that URL may be able to read those parameters, so avoid entering sensitive case details.
Does the Site Currently Use Analytics or Cookies?
Google Analytics loads only when the site is configured with an analytics identifier. When it is enabled, that third-party service may use cookies or similar technologies under its own practices.
How Can I Ask a Privacy Question?
Send privacy questions to feedback@deadcal.com. Do not include party names, case numbers, or confidential case facts; questions are reviewed against the practices described in this policy.
