Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
DUI Next Steps ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at duinextsteps.com.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Email addresses — when you sign up to receive a free chapter or other communications from us.
- Purchase information — when you purchase our guide, payment and order details are processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not store payment card information directly.
- Usage data — we may collect anonymized data about how you interact with our website (pages visited, time spent, browser type) using analytics tools.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Send you the free chapter and any other content you requested.
- Send occasional email updates about our products and resources. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- Process and fulfill your purchase orders.
- Improve our website and content.
Location Check
Our guide is designed for U.S. DUI, DWI, and OUI laws and procedures. When you visit our site, we perform a one-time IP-based lookup to determine your country. We only store the two-letter country code (for example, "US" or "CA") in your browser's session storage for up to one hour so we don't repeat the lookup on every page. We do not store, log, or share your IP address, and the lookup services do not receive any personally identifying information from us. If your location is outside the United States, access to the guide is blocked. Known search-engine crawlers are always allowed so the site can be indexed.
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services that may process your data:
- Payment processor — purchases are handled by a secure third-party payment provider. Your payment information is processed by them according to their privacy policy.
- Analytics — we may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site. Data collected is anonymized and aggregated.
- Geo-location lookup — we use third-party services (country.is and ipapi.co) solely to determine the country associated with your IP address for availability purposes. These services receive only the IP address required for the lookup.
Cookies
