Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Kolmogorov Law, P.C. (“the firm,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects information you give us when you use the small-claims filing platform at file.kolmogorovlaw.com (“the Platform”).

Kolmogorov Law, P.C. is a California professional corporation. We are based in Irvine, California. You can reach us at info@kolmogorovlaw.com.

To prepare and file a small-claims case, we collect:

• Identity and contact information — your full legal name, email, phone, and address.
• Case details — the defendant’s name and address, the dispute, the amount you’re asking for, supporting evidence you upload (contracts, receipts, photos, screenshots).
• Payment information — handled by Stripe; we never see your card number. We retain only Stripe’s identifiers (the payment intent ID, the payment status, and the receipt URL).
• Communications — emails we send you, status updates we send during your case, and any messages you send back.
• Technical data — server logs (IP address, request paths, response codes) for security and debugging. We don’t use third-party analytics that track you across other sites.

We use your information only to do the work you asked us to do:

• Prepare and file your court paperwork (SC-100, SC-103, SC-104, exhibit packet, demand letter).
• Send your paperwork to the court via an Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP) when you authorize filing.
• Arrange service of process on the defendant when you authorize it.
• Communicate with you about your case (status emails, deadline reminders, hearing prep).
• Process your payment, issue receipts, and process refunds.
• Maintain an audit trail (who did what, when) to comply with our duties as attorneys of record.

We do not sell your information. We do not show advertising on the Platform and we do not send marketing email unless you separately opt in.

We share information only with the service providers that make the Platform work:

• Stripe — payment processing.
• Postmark — transactional email (receipts, status updates).
• Supabase — database and document storage (encrypted at rest).
• Vercel — application hosting and TLS termination.
• EFSP partners — when you authorize filing, we transmit your case to a court-approved EFSP, which transmits it to the California Superior Court.
• Process-service providers — when you authorize service, we transmit defendant information to a registered process server.
• The Court — the documents you authorize are filed publicly with the California Superior Court of the appropriate county.

We may also disclose information when required by law (subpoena, court order) or when necessary to investigate fraud or protect the rights or safety of any person.

California Rules of Professional Conduct require us to keep client files for at least five years after a matter closes (Cal. R. Prof. Conduct rule 1.15(d), interpreted with Formal Opinion 2001-157). We retain Platform records for seven years after a case closes, then delete or anonymize. Audit-trail entries (who took what action) are retained for the life of the firm.

You can request earlier deletion of non-mandatory records by emailing info@kolmogorovlaw.com; we’ll honor reasonable requests consistent with our ethical obligations.

• All traffic is over HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or higher.
• Database access is server-only; the client never queries the database directly.
• Document downloads use short-lived signed URLs (5-minute expiry).
• Database is encrypted at rest by Supabase.
• Access to administrative tooling is gated behind a token-authed admin area.
• We do not log personally identifiable information (no plaintext PII in console logs or error trackers).

California residents have specific rights with respect to their personal information:

• Right to know — what personal information we have about you, where we got it, why we have it, and who we share it with.
• Right to delete — subject to our ethical retention obligations, you may request deletion.
• Right to correct — you may correct inaccurate information.
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing — we don’t sell or share your information for cross-context behavioral advertising, so this right is automatically honored.
• Right of non-retaliation — we won’t treat you differently for exercising these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, use our Data-Rights request form or email info@kolmogorovlaw.com. We’ll verify your identity by email before acting (so a stranger can’t request your data). We have 45 days from verification to fulfill the request, with one 45-day extension available if reasonably necessary (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.130(a)(2)).

The Platform is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you become aware that a minor has provided us with information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated to you by email if you have an active case.
