Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 17, 2026

1. Introduction

Marital Dispute Advisors (“MDA”) provides administrative, organizational, educational, and technology services, including an SMS system, digital library, and document center. MDA is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not represent users in legal proceedings.

This Policy explains how MDA collects, uses, stores, protects, retains, and discloses information. Information submitted through MDA is not guaranteed to be privileged, confidential in a legal sense, undiscoverable, inadmissible, or exempt from subpoena, court order, governmental demand, or other lawful process.

2. Information We Collect

MDA may collect:

• Name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address;
• Age, gender, and marital-status information;
• Account, authentication, access, and usage information;
• SMS messages, emails, and other communications with MDA;
• Payment, transaction, and service records;
• Documents, photographs, files, and other materials uploaded or stored through MDA (“User Content”);
• Device, browser, IP-address, cookie, metadata, security, and access-log information; and
• Information provided by vendors and service providers supporting MDA’s operations.

User Content may contain financial, employment, tax, medical, child-related, or litigation-related information. Users should upload only information they are authorized to provide.

3. Use of Information

MDA may use information to:

• Provide, maintain, secure, and improve its services;
• Host, store, organize, retrieve, display, and transmit User Content at a user’s direction;
• Communicate with users and provide customer support;
• Authenticate accounts and investigate fraud, misuse, and security incidents;
• Process payments and maintain business records;
• Analyze service performance;
• Resolve disputes and enforce agreements; and
• Comply with applicable law and valid legal process.

MDA does not review User Content to provide legal advice, evaluate legal rights, recommend litigation strategy, or act as an attorney, expert, legal representative, or litigation custodian.

4. Storage and Security

MDA may store information in secure cloud systems and may use encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, monitoring, and other reasonable safeguards.

No electronic system is completely secure. MDA does not guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, lost, or destroyed through circumstances beyond MDA’s reasonable control.

5. Disclosure of Information

MDA does not sell or rent personal information. MDA may disclose information to service providers supporting hosting, storage, communications, payments, authentication, analytics, security, and customer support.

MDA may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Act at a user’s direction or with consent;
• Protect MDA, its users, or others;
• Investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or violations;
• Complete a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale; or
• Comply with a subpoena, court order, warrant, governmental request, preservation notice, discovery request, or other valid legal process.

MDA is a neutral, nonparty technology provider. MDA may review, object to, narrow, negotiate, challenge, or seek a protective order concerning legal process that is defective, overbroad, irrelevant, unduly burdensome, outside the issuing authority’s jurisdiction, or seeks protected information. MDA does not promise to take any particular action.

Where legally permitted and reasonably practicable, MDA may notify the affected account holder before producing information. MDA may provide no notice when notice is prohibited, impracticable, or not legally required.

MDA may seek reimbursement from the requesting party for reasonable costs incurred in identifying, preserving, collecting, reviewing, redacting, formatting, securing, and producing information, to the extent permitted by law.

6. Retention, Deletion, Backups, and Legal Holds

MDA retains information only as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain security, process transactions, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect its rights, and comply with legal obligations.

If a user terminates services or closes an account, MDA will initiate deletion of User Content from active systems within 90 days after termination, subject to this Section.

MDA will retain access, security, and usage logs for 12 months, unless a longer period is required by law, a legal hold, reasonably anticipated litigation, a security investigation, or another legitimate business purpose.

MDA may retain account, billing, transaction, communications, backup, and other records longer when reasonably necessary for legal, tax, accounting, security, dispute-resolution, or operational purposes.

Deletion from active systems may not immediately remove encrypted backup, disaster-recovery, archive, system-log, billing, or residual copies. Such copies are not ordinarily restored or accessed except for disaster recovery, security, legal compliance, or legitimate operational purposes and are overwritten or deleted according to the applicable backup cycle.

MDA may suspend routine deletion, preserve information, restrict access, or retain information when required by law, valid legal process, a preservation request, a litigation hold, or information reasonably indicating that litigation, an investigation, or another proceeding is pending or reasonably anticipated.

MDA is not required to preserve every copy, restore deleted information, interrupt ordinary backup rotation, or create new records unless required by applicable law or court order. After the legal or operational need ends, MDA may release a hold and resume routine deletion without further notice.

Users should maintain independent copies of important documents and should not rely on MDA as their sole repository for evidence.

7. User Rights

Subject to applicable law, users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information by contacting:

support@maritaldisputeadvisors.com

These rights may be limited by legal holds, preservation obligations, security requirements, pending disputes, valid legal process, backup systems, or records MDA is required or permitted to retain.

8. Children’s Privacy

MDA’s services are not intended for individuals under 18. MDA does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If MDA becomes aware of such collection, it will take reasonable steps to delete it, subject to legal-retention and preservation obligations.

9. Changes

MDA may update this Policy by posting a revised version with a new effective date. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by law.

10. Contact

Privacy questions and legal-process notices should be sent to:

support@maritaldisputeadvisors.com

Legal-process notices should include “Legal Process” in the subject line. Sending a request to this address does not constitute acceptance of service, waiver of objections, or consent to jurisdiction.

11. Governing Law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where MDA is located, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
