Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 15, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Seal My Record MA ("we," "us," or "our"), operated by the Law Office of Patrick T. Donovan, collects, uses, and shares information when you use sealmyrecordma.com (the "Site") and our record-sealing preparation services (the "Services"). By using the Site, you agree to this Policy.

This Site provides self-help legal preparation. It is for general informational and preparation purposes only and is not legal advice. Using the Site does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. See our Terms & Conditions.

Information we collect

Payment information. Payments are processed by our third-party processor, LawPay/AffiniPay. We do not collect or store your full card number on our servers; LawPay processes payment details under its own privacy and security practices.
Automatically collected data. Device, browser, IP address, pages viewed, and interactions, collected through cookies and similar technologies (see below).

How we use information

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads tags to understand traffic and measure advertising. These tools set cookies and may collect usage and device data. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. We do not sell your personal information.

How we share information

We share information only as needed to provide the Services: with service providers who help us operate (for example, hosting, email, payment processing, and analytics providers, such as Vercel, Microsoft 365, Resend, LawPay/AffiniPay, and Google), and when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights. We do not sell your personal information.

Data retention

We retain your information for as long as needed to provide the Services, meet legal and professional-responsibility obligations (including record-keeping rules applicable to attorneys), resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion as described below, subject to those obligations.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information, subject to legal and professional-responsibility limits.
You may opt out of analytics/advertising cookies as described above.
Massachusetts residents: we handle personal information consistent with applicable Massachusetts law, including the Commonwealth's data-security and breach-notification requirements (M.G.L. c. 93H).

Children

The Site and Services are intended for adults (18+) and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18.
