General Information
Please note that this Privacy Policy may be updated frequently.
Welcome to LawKoala. LawKoala and lawkoala.com are collectively referred to as "LawKoala." At LawKoala, we appreciate the trust you place in us when you choose to visit our website and we take that responsibility seriously. This LawKoala Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use personal information about you when you visit our website.
Your continued use of LawKoala constitutes your agreement to this Privacy Policy and any updates.
What Information We Collect
Contact information, such as your name or email address when you make a purchase from us;
Purchase information, such as the items you purchase, payment method and payment information (please note that payment method and payment information is handled via Gumroad [discussed below]), and contact information (such as for receipts or order updates);
Device and browsing information, including information about your phone, tablet, computer, or device, and online browsing activity (collectively, "automatically collected information"). Like most website operators, LawKoala collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available. Automatically collected information may include IP addresses, unique device identifiers, cookie identifiers, device and browser settings and information, and Internet service provider information. Automatically collected information also may include information about when and how you access and use our website, such as the date and time of your visit or use, the websites you visit before coming and after leaving our website, how you navigate and what you search for using our website, the website pages and items you view using our website, and the items you purchase.
How We Collect Information
We collect information on our website. We also obtain information from you and from third parties. Specifically, we collect and obtain information:
You provide, such as when you make a purchase or contact us, or sign up for emails or marketing;
From using automatic collection methods. For example, we and third parties we work with may collect information from the computer, tablet, phone, or other device: that you use to access our website; or that you use to open an email from us. This collection includes automatically collected information, and generally does not include personal information unless you provide it through our website or you choose to share it with us. Methods we may use include:
- website log files (which we tend to create automatically in connection with access to and use of our website); and
- other technologies (which may be similar to or different than the methods noted above).
From anonymous analytics using Plausible Analytics. On LawKoala, we only use the Plausible Analytics script that allows us to collect analytics information in order to gain insight about our visitors in general. We do not store analytical cookies on your device. Plausible Analytics does not track individual users and does not store any personally identifiable information that could be linked with a particular individual. Go to their documentation to find out what Plausible Analytics collects (and more importantly what they don't). Instead of a cookie with a unique user ID, Plausible Analytics simply counts the number of unique IP addresses that access LawKoala to determine the visitor count. To further enhance user privacy, Plausible Analytics does not store the raw visitor IP address in database or log files. Plausible Analytics runs the IP address through a one-way hash function to scramble the raw IP addresses and make them impossible to recover.
How We Use Information
To provide you with products and services, such as to: fulfill your orders and process your payments and to provide you with products and services that we think you will like.
To respond to you, such as when you: place an order; call us; make a request or inquiry; or share a comment or concern;
For Payment and Billing Purposes: Generally, we'll charge your payment method (via Gumroad ) for an item when you click to buy or click to purchase our products. For the most part, our products are digital downloads that are emailed to you after you pay for the product. We use Gumroad to process purchases, downloads, and transactions, including taking payment for the products sold through this site. All transactions are processed through Gumroad , and no payment or financial information details are stored by LawKoala. For more information about how the payment platform that we use operates, please visit Gumroad and view its Terms of Use and Privacy Policy . We also use Gumroad to send emails, including your receipts and invoices, and updates on your product. Gumroad stores our customer lists, and our records of who has downloaded or purchased which products. Any information Gumroad collects regarding payment information when you visit LawKoala is not available to LawKoala, and you should contact Gumroad to view or delete any information that they have.
For our business purposes, such as: to operate and improve upon our business and lawful business activities; to maintain our records; for research; to determine your satisfaction with our products and services; to detect and prevent fraud or misuse of our services; and for any other business purpose that is permitted by law;

Third parties and service providers that provide products or services to us, that help us market or advertise to you (including co-branded marketing and advertising), or that provide products or services to you.
Parties to business transactions such as those we deal with in mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, sales of assets, reorganizations, divestitures, dissolutions, bankruptcies, liquidations, or other types of business transactions.
