Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

BylawBeacon ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website BylawBeacon.com and use our assessment 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 or use our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use our assessment tool, you may provide information through your responses to quiz questions. This information is processed locally in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers unless you explicitly choose to save or share your results.

When you access our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, including:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• IP address
• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Referring website addresses
• Device identifiers

2.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

• To Provide Our Services: To deliver the assessment tool and generate compatibility scores

4. Local Processing and Data Storage

Important: BylawBeacon is designed with privacy in mind. Your assessment responses are processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. We do not collect, store, or transmit your quiz answers to our servers.

However, we may use browser localStorage to save your accessibility preferences and assessment results locally on your device for your convenience. This data remains on your device and is not accessible to us.

5. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as web hosting, analytics, and customer support
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities
• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred
• With Your Consent: We may share your information with your explicit consent

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Since your assessment data is processed locally in your browser and not transmitted to our servers, your quiz responses benefit from this additional layer of privacy protection.
