Privacy Policy
Last updated · Written by the Power of Attorney Maker editorial team. State rules checked against official statute sources.
Short version: what you type into the power of attorney form stays on your device. PDFs and Word files are created by code running in your browser. We don't receive names, addresses, health wishes or anything else you enter, unless you are on the Family Plan and choose to save a copy.
Your documents are never stored as files
Every PDF and Word file is generated in your browser and never uploaded. Your in-progress answers are kept in your own browser's storage so you don't lose them on refresh; "Clear form" or clearing site data removes them. Our server logs contain only counts and errors, never names, addresses or form contents.
What we store on our server, and for how long
| Data | Why | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| Licence record: licence key, plan, Stripe session, customer, subscription or payment ID, status and dates | To unlock paid features on your devices, renewals and refunds | Until 30 days after your plan ends, then deleted (payment records Stripe keeps are governed by Stripe) |
| Saved copies (Family Plan, opt-in only): the form answers you choose to save, as data (not files) | So you can reopen and update a document | Until you delete them, or 30 days after your plan ends. Max 100 documents / 5 MB. |
| Stripe webhook event IDs | To avoid processing the same payment twice | Last 500 events |
| Daily usage counters (e.g. number of Word exports) | Capacity planning | Counts only, no personal data |
| Hashed IP address for rate limiting | To stop abuse of our API routes | In memory only, salt changes daily (24 hours at most) |
Delete my data
On My documents you can delete any saved copy, all saved copies, or your whole licence record (after cancelling a subscription). You can also email us.
Other data
- Payments: processed by Stripe. We never see your card number.
- Licence cookie: after purchase we set one strictly necessary, signed cookie that keeps your plan unlocked in this browser.
- Contact form: your name, email and message are forwarded to our inbox so we can reply. Please don't include health details.
- Google Analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and feature use (for example “PDF generated”, “upgrade clicked”, “checkout started”, “purchase” with amount and Stripe order ID). Google collects device, browser, approximate location and pages visited and sets cookies (
_ga,_ga_*). We never send names, form answers, health wishes or file names. Advertising features are off.
Cookies and your choice
- Strictly necessary: the licence cookie (only after a purchase).
- Analytics: if you visit from the EU/EEA, the UK or Switzerland, analytics is off until you click “Accept” in the cookie banner. Elsewhere (for example the US) analytics is on by default.
- Opt out: clear this site's data to see the banner again, block cookies for this site, or use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you. US state privacy laws may give you additional rights. We don't sell or share personal information.
