How 4thePPL handles your data — the short version: we respect your privacy and store almost nothing.
Effective Date: February 15, 2026
At 4thePPL, we believe that access to legal education should never come at the cost of your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (very little), how we use it, and what rights you have. We designed this site with a privacy-first approach so you can learn about the law without being tracked, profiled, or monetized.
4thePPL is built to function without collecting personal information. We do not require you to create an account, sign in, or provide any identifying details to use this website.
The only data our site stores is saved to your own browser using localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers or any third party. Locally stored data may include:
4thePPL does not set first-party cookies. We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, session management, or any other purpose. If a third-party service embedded on our site (such as an analytics provider) sets a cookie, it will be governed by that service's own privacy policy, and we will disclose it in this document.
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, IP address, physical address, or any other personally identifiable information (PII) through normal use of this website. The only exception is if you voluntarily contact us through our Contact page, in which case we receive only the information you choose to provide in your message.
Since all user data is stored locally on your device, 4thePPL does not "use" your data in the traditional sense. The locally stored information powers the following features entirely within your browser:
None of this data is used for advertising, profiling, or any purpose other than improving your personal experience on the site.
We want to be explicit about the data practices we do not engage in:
4thePPL contains links to external websites, including government agencies, legal aid organizations, court systems, nonprofit organizations, and other legal resources. These links are provided for your convenience and educational benefit.
When you click a link that takes you away from 4thePPL, you are subject to the privacy policy and terms of the destination site. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or data collection policies of any third-party website.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information. If you discover that a link on our site leads to a resource that engages in harmful or deceptive data practices, please let us know through our Contact page so we can evaluate and, if necessary, remove it.
Local storage (also called Web Storage or localStorage) is a browser feature that allows websites to save small amounts of data directly on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not automatically sent to servers with each page request. It stays on your device unless you explicitly clear it.
4thePPL uses localStorage to save the following types of data on your device:
You have full control over locally stored data. You can clear it at any time using one of the following methods:
Clearing localStorage will reset your bookmarks, notes, reading history, preferences, and quiz results. This action cannot be undone, as we do not keep backups of your locally stored data.
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general usage patterns on 4thePPL. If we implement analytics, we commit to the following principles:
As of the effective date of this policy, no analytics service is actively deployed on 4thePPL.
4thePPL is a legal education resource designed to be accessible to people of all ages. We believe that young people benefit from understanding their legal rights and the legal system.
Because we do not collect personal information, we do not knowingly or unknowingly collect data from children under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age in your jurisdiction). There are no account creation features, no forms that request personal details for general use, and no mechanisms that would allow us to identify a user's age.
Our site complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by design: since we collect no personal information, there is no personal information from children to protect. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has somehow submitted personal information to us (for example, through our contact page), please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the addition of new features, or updates required by law. When we make changes, we will:
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of 4thePPL after any changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
For transparency, major revisions will be noted here:
Because 4thePPL does not collect or store personal data on our servers, many traditional data-subject rights (such as data access requests, data portability, or deletion requests) are not applicable in the conventional sense. However, we want you to know:
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out to us through our Contact page. We take privacy seriously and will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible.
If you believe that your privacy has been compromised in any way through the use of our website, please contact us immediately so we can investigate and address the issue.
