Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to PAGATracker.com ("PAGA Tracker," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, PAGATracker.com (the "Site"), including any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the "Services"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

Our Site collects and displays information related to California Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") cases, primarily sourced from public records.

2. Scope of this Policy

This Policy applies to information we collect:

Directly from you when you register for an account or interact with us.
Automatically as you navigate through the Site (e.g., usage details, IP addresses, cookies).
From publicly available sources, specifically related to PAGA case information.

It does not apply to information collected by any third party, including through any application or content that may link to or be accessible from the Site.

3. Information We Collect and How We Use It

We collect information about our users in several ways:

3.1. Information You Provide to Us

When you interact with PAGATracker.com, you may provide information directly to us, including account and support details. This may include your email address, name/display name, and information you submit through our contact forms (such as organization, topic, message content, and page URL context). We use this information to:

Create and manage your user account.
Communicate with you about your account or our Services.
Provide customer support (we may ask for additional details about your issue to resolve it and may record requests/responses for quality control).
Process and respond to feedback, correction requests, privacy requests, and other inbound communications.
Support subscription and billing workflows, including plan provisioning and account status updates.

3.2. Information We Collect Automatically (Log Data & Cookies)

As you navigate and interact with our Site, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns.

Web Server Logs: Our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Services. Log Data may include information such as:
- Your unique Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- The name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
- The type of browser and computer or device you use.
- The city, state, and country from which you access our Site (approximated from IP address).
- The date and time of your visit.
- The web page from which you arrived to our Site (referring URL).
- The pages you viewed and links you clicked within our Site.
- Searches/queries conducted via our Site.
We use Log Data to administer the Site, analyze usage trends, monitor for security threats, prevent inappropriate use, and improve the user experience.
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies (small data files sent to your browser and stored on your device) and potentially similar technologies to help us operate the site and enhance your experience. We also use analytics technologies (including Google Analytics) to understand site usage. We use these technologies to:
- Remember that you are logged in.
- Understand how you use the Site.
- Personalize your experience.
- Save preferences so you do not have to re-enter them each time.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually choose to set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies. Please note that if you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect the availability and functionality of our Services.

3.3. Public Records Information (PAGA Cases)

We collect information related to PAGA cases from publicly available government sources, such as court dockets and filings. This information includes details like case numbers, party names, attorney names, filing dates, and document contents. This is treated as publicly available information, distinct from the personal information you provide directly to us (like your email address). See Section 8 for more details.

3.4. Use of Collected Information Summary

In addition to the uses described above, we use the information we collect to:

Provide, operate, maintain, protect, and improve our Services.
Develop new services, features, and functionality.
Analyze trends and user behavior.
Ensure the security and integrity of our Site.
Comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Information

If you are accessing our Services from regions with laws governing data collection and use (like the European Economic Area), please note that our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. We normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you (e.g., to provide the Services you requested), or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to assist us in providing and analyzing our Services. For example, we may use:

Analytics providers (including Google Analytics).
Hosting and infrastructure providers (including Vercel and Supabase) to run the application and store operational data.
Payment processors (including Stripe) to handle subscriptions and related billing events.

These third parties may have access to your personal information (for example, IP address, account email, support/contact submission content, and billing metadata needed to provide the service) only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

6. How We Protect Your Information

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process (including account information, support/contact submissions, billing metadata, and usage data). We store information in data centers with access controls and use technical measures like encryption (where appropriate) and monitoring. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Transmission of personal information to and from our Site is at your own risk.

You should only access the services within a secure environment. We recommend using a strong, unique password for your account and keeping it confidential. Sign out of your account after each session, especially on shared computers.

7. Disclosure of Your Information (Who Has Access?)

We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information (like your email list) to third parties for their marketing purposes.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this privacy policy:

To Service Providers: To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business (e.g., hosting, analytics), bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them.
Business Transfers: If PAGA Tracker is involved in a merger, acquisition, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of its assets, your personal information may be among the assets transferred.
Legal Requirements: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency), or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:
- Comply with a legal obligation.
- Protect and defend the rights or property of PAGA Tracker.
- Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Services.
- Protect the personal safety of users of the Services or the public.
- Protect against legal liability.
With Your Consent: For any other purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information or with your consent.

We may share aggregated, anonymized information (which does not identify individual users) about our users' usage patterns without restriction.

8. Public Records, PAGA Case Information, and Redaction

PAGATracker.com's core function involves collecting and displaying PAGA case information obtained from publicly available government records (e.g., court websites, public databases).

Nature of Information: This information, including names of parties, attorneys, case details, and document contents found in court records, is generally considered "publicly available information" derived from government sources. It is distinct from the personal information (like your email address) that you provide directly to us for your user account.
Accuracy and Completeness: While we strive to accurately reflect the public record, we source this data from third parties (the courts/agencies). We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of this public record information. Errors or omissions may exist in the original public record itself.
Removal from PAGA Tracker Database: Because this information reflects the public record, we generally cannot remove or alter PAGA case data from our Site unless the underlying official public record has been legally sealed, expunged, or designated confidential by a court order. If you have obtained such a court order regarding a specific case record displayed on our site, please contact us at the email address provided in Section 16 with verifiable proof of the order, and we will review it for appropriate action on our Site.
Redaction from Public Search Engine Visibility (Courtesy): As a courtesy, while the information remains in our database (unless sealed by court order), we may consider requests to redact certain personally identifiable information (like an individual's name) from being easily visible on specific public-facing pages of our Site, primarily to limit its indexing by external search engines like Google.
To request this courtesy redaction, please identify the specific URL(s) on PAGATracker.com where the information appears and contact us via the email in Section 16 with your request.
Please note: Approval of redaction requests is at our discretion. Even if approved, the redaction only applies to the display on our public-facing webpage; the underlying data may remain in our system unless subject to a court order. Furthermore, search engines like Google operate independently. It may take time (potentially weeks) for them to re-crawl the page and update their search results/previews after we make a change. We do not control search engine caching or indexing timelines.

9. Your Choices About Your Information

Account Information: You can review and change your account email address by logging into the Site and visiting your account profile page (if available) or by contacting us.
Cookies: You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
Promotional Communications: We may send service-related communications about your account, subscriptions, or support requests. If we send optional promotional emails, you can opt out using the unsubscribe mechanism in the message or by contacting us.
Account Deletion: You may request the deletion of your user account by contacting us. Please note that deleting your account removes your login access and associated email address from our active user database, but it does not remove PAGA case information (which is public record) from the Site. We may also retain certain account-related information if required by law or for legitimate business purposes (like security logs or transaction records, if applicable).

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested, to maintain your account, or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Public record information (PAGA case data) may be retained indefinitely as it reflects historical public records, unless required to be removed by a valid court order.

11. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for or directed at children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold where applicable law requires). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at the email address provided in Section 16.

12. "Do Not Track" Signals

Some web browsers may transmit "Do Not Track" signals to websites with which the browser communicates. Currently, there is no standard that governs what, if anything, websites should do when they receive these signals. We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a standard is established, we may revise our policy on responding to these signals.

13. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) -- Rights for California Residents

This section supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy and applies solely to visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California ("consumers" or "you"). We adopt this notice to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and any terms defined in the CCPA have the same meaning when used in this notice.

13.1. Personal Information vs. Publicly Available Information

As defined under the CCPA, "personal information" does not include "publicly available" information lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records. The PAGA case data displayed on our Site, derived from such court and government records, generally falls into this "publicly available" category. Therefore, CCPA rights like deletion requests typically do not apply to the content of the PAGA case records themselves displayed on our Site.

Your CCPA rights described below apply to the "personal information" we collect directly from you or automatically about your use of the Site, such as your account email address, support/contact submission details, billing account metadata, IP address, and website usage data.

13.2. Information We Collect (Personal Information under CCPA)

We have collected the following categories of personal information from consumers within the last twelve (12) months:

Identifiers: Such as email address, name, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and online identifiers associated with your device.
Customer records: Such as support/contact submission data and subscription account metadata (for example, plan level and billing status).
Internet or other similar network activity: Such as browsing history on our Site, search queries on our Site, interactions with our website features.

We obtain these categories of personal information:

Directly from you: E.g., when you create an account or submit a contact/support form.
Indirectly from you: E.g., from observing your actions on our Site (usage data, IP address, cookies).

13.3. Use of Personal Information

We use or disclose the personal information we collect for one or more of the business purposes described in Section 3 ("Information We Collect and How We Use It") and Section 7 ("Disclosure of Your Information") of this Policy.

13.4. Sharing Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers for business purposes, as described in Section 5 and Section 7. In the preceding twelve (12) months, we have disclosed the following categories of personal information for a business purpose:

Identifiers
Customer records
Internet or other similar network activity

We disclose personal information for a business purpose to service providers (e.g., hosting/infrastructure, analytics, and subscription billing).

13.5. Sale of Personal Information

In the preceding twelve (12) months, PAGA Tracker has not sold personal information as the term "sell" is defined under the CCPA.

13.6. Your Rights and Choices under CCPA

The CCPA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. This section describes your CCPA rights and explains how to exercise those rights.

Right to Know:

You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information over the past 12 months. This includes:

The categories of personal information we collected about you.
The categories of sources for the personal information we collected about you.
Our business or commercial purpose for collecting that personal information.
The categories of third parties with whom we share that personal information.
The specific pieces of personal information we collected about you (also called a data portability request).

Right to Delete:

You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions. Once we receive and confirm your verifiable consumer request, we will delete (and direct our service providers to delete) your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies.

We may deny your deletion request if retaining the information is necessary for us or our service provider(s) to:

Complete the transaction for which we collected the personal information, provide a good or service that you requested, take actions reasonably anticipated within the context of our ongoing business relationship with you, or otherwise perform our contract with you.
Detect security incidents, protect against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or prosecute those responsible for such activities.
Debug products to identify and repair errors that impair existing intended functionality.
Exercise free speech, ensure the right of another consumer to exercise their free speech rights, or exercise another right provided for by law.
Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 seq.).
Enable solely internal uses that are reasonably aligned with consumer expectations based on your relationship with us.
Comply with a legal obligation.
Make other internal and lawful uses of that information that are compatible with the context in which you provided it.

13.7. Exercising Your Rights

To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by emailing us at the address provided in Section 16.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.

Your request must:

Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. (This may involve verifying your email address associated with an account).
Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us, but we typically use account information (email) for verification if you have one. We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor's identity or authority.

13.8. Response Timing and Format

We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to the email associated with that account. If you do not have an account, we will deliver our written response electronically or by mail, at your option. Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request's receipt. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily usable.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

13.9. Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights. Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

Deny you goods or services.
Charge you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.
Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.

14. International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to -- and maintained on -- computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. If you are located outside the United States and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including personal data, to the United States and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer.

15. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at our discretion and at any time. When we make changes to this privacy policy, we will post the updated notice on the Website and update the notice's "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of our Website following the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.
