Privacy Policy
Last updated July 2026 · Draft, pending legal review.
What we collect
Only what the service needs: your email address, your LLC's legal name, Department of State ID and formation date, and its office address. Payment card details go directly to Stripe — we never see or store them.
How we use it
To publish your formation notice (your LLC name and county appear in the newspapers — that's the legally required point of the service), to assemble your Certificate of Publication packet, to email you order updates and your finished packet, and to respond to your questions. We do not sell your data or use it for third-party advertising.
Who we share it with
Only the parties required to deliver the service: the two designated Albany County newspapers (the notice text), and our processors — Stripe (payments), Supabase (database and document storage), Resend (email delivery), Vercel (hosting), and the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder (address verification; only the address is sent).
Retention & deletion
We keep order records and publication documents while your order is active and for a reasonable period afterward, since affidavits and certificates may be needed if the state ever questions your filing. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time by emailing us; we'll delete what we're not required to retain for legal, accounting, or record-keeping purposes.
Cookies & tracking
The site works without advertising trackers. We use only what's needed to operate — for example, Stripe's checkout and basic, privacy-respecting analytics if enabled.
