LocalTemplates Privacy Policy

​Last updated: July 7, 2026

​

LocalTemplates (“LocalTemplates,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you use our products, services, software, and websites (collectively, the “Services”).

​

By using the Services, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy and in our Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please stop using the Services.

​

LocalTemplates provides access to template documents and related resources. We do not provide legal advice, we are not a law firm, and no attorney‑client relationship is created by your use of our Services. Our templates are informational tools only and are not a substitute for advice from a licensed attorney.

​

1. Information We Collect

​

We collect information you provide directly and information collected automatically through your use of the Services.

​

1.1 Information you provide

​

Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect:

  • Account and contact information
    When you create an account, sign up for updates, or contact us, we may collect your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, and account credentials.

  • Billing and payment information
    If you purchase templates, bundles, or subscriptions, we (or our payment processors) collect payment information such as credit card or other payment details, billing address, and transaction history. Payment information is used only to process payments.

  • Template, document, and usage content
    When you generate, customize, or upload documents using our Services, we collect and store the information you enter (for example, names of parties, addresses, business details) and the documents you create or upload, so you can access and manage them through your account.

  • Support communications
    When you contact us by email, chat, or other support channels, we may retain the content of your communications and our responses for quality assurance, training, and improvement of the Services.

  • Referral or consultation requests
    If you ask us to help you find or be referred to a lawyer or other professional, we may collect basic information about your business, jurisdiction, and general matter to help facilitate a referral. Any legal advice you receive will come from those professionals, not from LocalTemplates.

We collect only the information we reasonably need to provide and improve the Services and to operate our business.

​

1.2 Information collected automatically

 

When you use the Services, we may automatically collect:

  • Device and usage information
    Such as IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, domain names, pages viewed, links clicked, referring URLs, and general interaction with our site.

  • Cookies and similar technologies
    We use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences, keep you logged in, understand how you use the Services, and improve performance and usability. See “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” below for more detail.

  • Analytics data
    We may use analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics or similar services) to collect information about how users interact with our site, such as page views, time on site, and navigation paths. This information is typically aggregated and not used to identify individual users.

We may also collect anonymized or aggregated data that cannot reasonably be linked to you, such as overall traffic statistics, template usage trends, and general demographics.

 

2. How We Use Your Information

 

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

  • Providing and improving the Services
    To operate the website, create and manage accounts, process orders, deliver downloadable templates, store your documents, and maintain security and functionality.

  • Customer service and communications
    To respond to questions, provide support, send transactional messages (such as purchase confirmations and account notifications), and communicate about changes to the Services or policies.

  • Personalization and recommendations
    To remember your preferences, understand which templates or topics interest you, and suggest relevant products or content.

  • Business operations and analytics
    To analyze usage, understand how the Services are used, test new features, and improve our templates, content, and site experience.

  • Marketing (where permitted)
    To send you emails about new templates, product updates, special offers, or resources that may be relevant to small business owners and HR needs. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

  • Legal and compliance
    To comply with applicable laws and regulations, respond to lawful requests, enforce our Terms of Service, protect our rights and the rights of others, and maintain the security and integrity of the Services.

We do not use your information to provide legal advice, and we do not offer legal representation. Any legal decisions you make should be based on advice from a qualified attorney.

 

3. How We Share Your Information

 

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share information in these limited situations:

  • Service providers
    We may share information with vetted third‑party vendors that help us operate our business and deliver the Services (for example, payment processors, hosting providers, email delivery platforms, analytics providers, or customer support tools). These providers may access personal information only as needed to perform services on our behalf and must protect it in accordance with applicable law and this Privacy Policy.

  • Professional referrals (upon request)
    If you ask us to help you connect with a lawyer or other professional, we may share limited information about you and your general matter with that professional or referral platform so they can contact you. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies and professional obligations.

  • Legal requirements and protection
    We may disclose information when we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; to enforce or apply our Terms of Service or other agreements; to protect our rights, property, or safety; or to protect our users or the public from fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity.

  • Business transfers
    If LocalTemplates is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will seek to ensure that any successor continues to protect your information consistently with this Privacy Policy.

We may share anonymized or aggregated data that does not identify you with third parties for analytics, research, or other business purposes.

 

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

 

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep you logged in and remember your settings and preferences.

  • Understand how you use our site and which pages or templates are most useful.

  • Improve performance, usability, and security.

 

Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can set your browser to refuse or delete cookies. If you disable cookies, certain features of the Services (such as account login or template storage) may not function properly.

 

We may use third‑party analytics and advertising service providers that use cookies or similar technologies to help us understand site usage and, in some cases, to deliver more relevant content or ads on other websites. These third parties may collect non‑identifying information about your activities over time and across different websites.

 

You can often adjust your browser or device settings, or use tools provided by major advertising networks, to limit certain types of tracking or interest-based advertising.

 

5. Your Choices and Rights

 

You may have rights regarding your personal information under applicable law, including:

  • Access and update
    You can access and update certain account and profile information by logging into your account. If you need help accessing other information, you may contact us.

  • Document and account management
    You can delete documents you created through your account and may request that we close your account.

  • Marketing preferences
    You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails or contacting us directly. We may still send non‑marketing messages (for example, about your account or purchases).

  • Additional privacy rights
    Depending on your jurisdiction (for example, if you are a resident of California or another state with specific privacy laws), you may have additional rights such as rights to access, deletion, portability, or to limit certain uses of personal information. We will honor these rights where required by law and may provide additional state‑specific notices describing those rights and how to exercise them.

 

To exercise any rights available to you, please contact us using the information in the “Contact Us” section below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

 

6. Security

 

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These may include encryption in transit, access controls, secure hosting, and other industry‑standard security measures.

 

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and for any activity conducted under your account. Please use a strong, unique password and notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.

 

7. Data Retention

 

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide and maintain the Services and your account.

  • Comply with legal, tax, or regulatory requirements.

  • Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.

  • Support the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

We may retain anonymized or aggregated information that does not identify you for longer periods for analytics and business planning.

 

8. Children’s Privacy

 

Our Services are not directed to children under 13 years of age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

 

9. International Users

 

The Services are operated from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers are located. These jurisdictions may have different data protection laws than your home country.

 

Where required, we will implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.

 

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, Services, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as by email or a notice on the site).

Your continued use of the Services after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you accept the changes.

California and U.S. State Privacy Rights

 

Certain U.S. state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), give residents additional rights with respect to their personal information. This section explains those rights and how LocalTemplates addresses them.

​

These rights may apply to you if we are subject to the CCPA/CPRA or similar state privacy laws, or we may choose to honor certain requests voluntarily even if we are not legally required to do so

​

1. No sale or sharing of personal information

 

LocalTemplates does not sell your personal information to third parties for money, and we do not permit third parties to use your personal information for their own third‑party remarketing or behavioral advertising in a way that would constitute a “sale” under the CCPA/CPRA.

 

We may share personal information with service providers and contractors who help us operate the Services (for example, payment processors, hosting providers, analytics services), but they may use your information only to perform services on our behalf and must protect it in accordance with applicable law and this Privacy Policy.

 

If we change our practices in a way that would constitute a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law, we will update this notice and provide appropriate opt‑out mechanisms.

 

2. Categories of personal information collected

 

In the last 12 months, LocalTemplates has collected the following categories of personal information, as defined by California law, from users for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy:

  • Identifiers
    Such as name, email address, account username, IP address, and similar identifiers.

  • Customer records information
    Such as billing address, payment method token (held by our payment processor), and transaction history.

  • Commercial information
    Such as purchase records, subscriptions, and the templates or bundles you have accessed or downloaded.

  • Internet or other electronic network activity information
    Such as browsing history on our site, pages visited, time spent, referral URLs, clicks, and other usage data.

 

We may also collect limited professional or business information (for example, your role or business name) if you choose to provide it when using templates or requesting support.

 

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as social security numbers or financial account numbers) outside very limited contexts (for example, if you input such data into a template, it is stored as part of that document in your account). You should avoid entering sensitive information into templates unless it is legally required and you understand the implications. For legal advice about what to include in a document, consult a licensed attorney.

 

3. Sources of personal information

 

We collect personal information from:

  • You, when you create an account, purchase templates, use our Services, or communicate with us.

  • Your devices, via cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our site.

  • Service providers (for example, payment processors or analytics platforms) that help us operate the Services.

 

4. Purposes for collecting personal information

 

We collect and use personal information to:

  • Provide and improve the Services and operate our business.

  • Process transactions and deliver templates and related functionality.

  • Communicate with you and provide customer support.

  • Perform analytics, research, and site optimization.

  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

These purposes are described in more detail in the main Privacy Policy.

 

5. Disclosures of personal information

 

We may disclose the categories of personal information listed above to:

  • Service providers and contractors that support our operations (for example, hosting, payments, analytics, email, customer support).

  • Professional referral partners if you request a referral to a lawyer or other professional.

  • Government authorities or parties in legal proceedings, when required by law or to protect our rights and the rights of others.

  • Successors or acquirers, in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or similar transaction.

We do not permit these parties to use your personal information for their own independent marketing in a way that would constitute a “sale” under CCPA/CPRA.

 

6. Your privacy rights (California and certain other states)

 

If you are a resident of California or another U.S. jurisdiction with similar laws, you may have the following rights, subject to certain limitations and exceptions:

  • Right to know and access
    You may request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the purposes for collection, and the categories of third parties to whom we have disclosed that information.

  • Right to deletion
    You may request that we delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to exceptions (for example, where retention is required by law or necessary to complete a transaction or maintain our relationship with you).

  • Right to correction
    You may request that we correct inaccurate personal information about you.

  • Right to non‑discrimination
    We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights available under applicable law (for example, by denying services, charging different prices, or providing a different level of quality solely because you exercised a right).

  • Right to limit use of certain sensitive information
    If we collect sensitive personal information in a way that triggers rights under applicable law, you may have the right to limit certain uses or disclosures. At this time, LocalTemplates does not use sensitive personal information for purposes that require a “limit use” mechanism under CPRA; if that changes, we will update this notice.

 

7. How to exercise your rights

 

You or your authorized agent may submit requests to exercise the rights described above by contacting us:

 

To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. Verification may require you to provide information we already have on file (for example, account email address, recent transaction details) or other reasonable proof that you are the individual or authorized agent.

 

We will respond to verifiable consumer requests within the timeframes required by applicable law and will explain any reasons we cannot fulfill a request, if applicable.

 

You may also manage many aspects of your data directly by logging into your account, where you can:

  • Review and update certain account information.

  • Delete documents you created or uploaded.

  • Adjust email preferences.
