Last updated: March 9, 2026

This page provides the longer-form version of the Small Claims Helper privacy policy and terms. It is meant to sit alongside the summary page, not replace your own review of court rules, deadlines, or legal advice from a licensed attorney.

Important legal reminder

Small Claims Helper provides educational information and self-help tools only. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Privacy policy

Full privacy details

1. Information we collect

When you use Small Claims Helper, you may provide account details, support messages, quiz responses, case details, and other information needed to run the service.

Some information may also be stored locally in your browser so your progress and case materials stay available on your device.

  • Name, email address, and other contact details you choose to provide
  • Case information, dispute details, documents, and responses entered into the app
  • Basic device, browser, analytics, and site usage information
  • Preference data such as language, settings, and workflow state

2. How we use information

We use information to operate the site, generate guidance, improve features, respond to support requests, maintain security, and meet legal obligations.

  • Provide access to tools, guides, calculators, and account features
  • Generate case-related summaries and educational self-help content
  • Improve reliability, performance, analytics, and product decisions
  • Communicate about support, service changes, and account issues

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Sharing, service providers, and retention

We may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, payments, email, or related infrastructure. Those providers may process information on our behalf subject to their own terms and our instructions where applicable.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer.

  • Hosting and infrastructure vendors
  • Analytics and product operations tools
  • Payment or billing providers, if applicable
  • Legal or regulatory disclosures when required

Retention varies by the type of data. Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the service, support, compliance, or security purposes described here.

4. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, or object to certain processing of your personal information.

California and European users may have additional rights under laws such as the CCPA and GDPR.

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion where applicable
  • Ask for a portable copy of certain data
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

5. Cookies, security, third-party links, and updates

We may use cookies, local storage, and related technologies for essential site functionality, saved progress, analytics, and product improvement.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, but no system can promise absolute security.

If you follow links to courts, agencies, or other outside websites, those websites have their own policies and practices.

  • Essential cookies and browser storage may be required for core features
  • Third-party websites are controlled by their own operators, not by us
  • We may update this policy from time to time by changing the posted content and date

Terms of service

Full terms details

6. Acceptance and scope of the service

By using Small Claims Helper, you agree to these terms and to the privacy practices described above.

The service is designed as an educational and self-help tool for small claims research, planning, and organization.

  • General legal information and workflow support
  • Case organization, calculators, guides, and informational tools
  • Links to courts and other public resources

7. Not legal advice and no attorney-client relationship

Small Claims Helper is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Communications through the service are not protected by attorney-client privilege.

You remain responsible for confirming court rules, deadlines, filings, and legal strategy yourself or with a licensed lawyer.

8. AI and informational tool limitations

Some features may rely on automation or AI-assisted generation. Those features can be incomplete, inaccurate, or out of date.

  • AI output is for general informational use only
  • Results may contain errors, omissions, or stale information
  • You should independently review any generated content before relying on it

9. User responsibilities

You agree to use the service lawfully, provide accurate information, and avoid misuse of the app, content, or infrastructure.

  • Use the service only for lawful purposes
  • Provide truthful and current information where requested
  • Do not abuse, interfere with, or attempt to exploit the service
  • Do not rely on the service alone for legal decisions or court strategy

10. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

The service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis, without guarantees of accuracy, uninterrupted access, or any legal outcome.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Small Claims Helper and its affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from use of the service.

If a law limits these disclaimers or liability limits in your jurisdiction, they apply only to the maximum extent permitted there.

11. Third-party resources, governing law, and other legal terms

We may link to or reference third-party sites and resources for convenience only. We do not control or endorse them.

These terms may be updated from time to time. Continued use of the service after changes means you accept the updated version.

  • Third-party sites have their own terms and privacy practices
  • If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect
  • These terms and the privacy policy together form the agreement for use of the service
