Divorce Online New York respects visitors' privacy. This policy explains what information is collected when you use divorceonlinenewyork.com, how it is handled, and the choices available to you.

Last updated: October 28, 2026

About this policy

Divorce Online New York is an informational website about New York divorce procedures, court forms, filing requirements, and related topics. This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through divorceonlinenewyork.com.

It does not cover websites or services operated by third parties, including the online divorce document-preparation services linked from our pages. Those providers have their own privacy policies and terms.

Information we collect

We collect limited information when you browse the site or choose to email us. The information depends on how you interact with the website and the services used to operate it.

Information collected when you visit

When you browse the website, the hosting platform and analytics services may process information such as pages viewed, the date and time of a visit, referring websites, browser and device details, general location information, and interactions with site content. Web servers may also process IP addresses and related request information for delivery, diagnostics, and security.

Information you choose to send

If you email [email protected], we receive your email address, the content of your message, and any information you choose to include. We use this information to review and respond to your inquiry. The website does not have a contact form.

Please avoid including sensitive details about your marriage, children, finances, court case, or identity documents in an email. This email address is not intended for submitting divorce paperwork.

Visits to linked services

We may record that a visitor selected a link to an external document-preparation service and identify the page or campaign that led to the visit. Information entered after you leave our website is collected and processed by the external provider under its own privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Divorce Online New York uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with its pages and to assess which content is useful. Google Analytics may collect information about page views, session activity, browser and device characteristics, approximate geographic location, and interactions with links or page features.

Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies to distinguish visits and compile usage statistics. When Analytics is active, a visitor's browser may transmit information, including an IP address, to Google for processing. Google states that Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses collected for the service.

Google processes this information under its own policies. For more details, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google Analytics privacy and data protection.

Cookies and your choices

Cookies are small files that a website or service places in your browser. The site may use cookies or similar storage technologies for website operation, security, and analytics. Google Analytics may set first-party cookies, including cookies that help distinguish returning browsers and measure activity across visits.

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Restricting certain cookies may affect how website features work or how visits are measured. You can also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to reduce the information your browser sends to Google Analytics.

Where consent is required for optional analytics cookies, it must be obtained through the website's applicable consent controls before those cookies are used. A written privacy policy does not replace those controls.

How information is used

Information collected through the website may be used to:

  • Operate, maintain, and protect the website.
  • Understand visits to articles and improve page content and usability.
  • Identify website errors, suspicious activity, or service interruptions.
  • Respond to emails sent to our contact address.
  • Measure visits to third-party services through outbound links and referral information.
  • Meet applicable legal requirements.

Divorce Online New York does not ask visitors to complete divorce questionnaires or submit payment details directly on its informational pages. Any information requested by an external document-preparation provider is handled through that provider's website.

Service providers and external websites

Information may be processed by providers that help deliver, maintain, or measure the website, including hosting services and Google Analytics. Those providers process information according to their services, terms, and applicable privacy rules.

When you follow an external link, the destination website may receive information such as the referring address and tracking parameters. That website may collect additional information directly from you. We do not control its privacy practices, security, or data retention policies.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law or where reasonably necessary to protect the rights, security, or operation of the website.

Data retention and security

Information is kept only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, subject to the retention settings of the relevant services and any applicable legal requirements. Analytics data retention is affected by the settings configured in Google Analytics. Hosting logs and emails sent to our contact address may follow different retention periods.

We take steps intended to limit unauthorized access to information handled through the website. However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system is completely secure.

Some service providers, including Google, may process information in countries outside the visitor's place of residence. Those transfers are governed by the provider's applicable terms and safeguards.

Your privacy choices and requests

Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have rights to request access to personal information, ask that inaccurate information be corrected, or request deletion of information held by the website. Certain requests may be limited by legal obligations or the nature of the data involved.

To make a privacy request, email [email protected] and explain what information or issue your request concerns. We may need enough information to verify that the request relates to you before taking action.

You can manage browser cookies and Google Analytics participation independently using the controls described above. Privacy requests involving a third-party document-preparation service should be directed to that provider.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for adults seeking general information about divorce. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly request personal information from them. If you believe a child has emailed us personal information, please contact us so the concern can be reviewed.

Changes to this policy and contact

Divorce Online New York may update this Privacy Policy when its website features, service providers, or privacy practices change. The date at the top of this page will be revised when an updated policy is published.

For questions about this policy or how information is handled on divorceonlinenewyork.com, email [email protected].

Divorce Online New York provides general information only. It is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation.
