​

​Marriages By Proxy LLC (“Marriages By Proxy,” “MBP,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, communicate with us, or use our proxy-marriage services.

​

By using our website or providing information to us, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

​

1. Information We Collect

 

The information we collect depends upon how you interact with us and the services you request.

​

Information You Provide to Us

​

We may collect information such as:

​

• your name;

• mailing and residential addresses;

• email address;

• telephone number;

• date and place of birth;

• social security number;

• marital-status and prior-marriage information;

• identification documents and information contained in those documents;

• signatures and notarized documents;

• information required to prepare or process marriage-related documents;

• communications you send to us; and

• other information you voluntarily provide.

​

Because marriage licensing requires identity verification and other personal information, some information collected in connection with our services may be sensitive.

Please provide sensitive information only through the methods we designate for that purpose.

​

Payment Information

​

When you purchase services, payment information may be processed by a third-party payment processor.

 

We may receive information concerning the transaction, such as your name, billing information, transaction amount, payment status, and transaction identifier. We do not necessarily receive or retain your complete payment-card number.

​

Information Collected Automatically

​

When you use our website, certain information may be collected automatically by us or our website and technology providers, including:

​

• IP address;

• browser and device information;

• operating system;

• pages visited;

• referring website;

• dates and times of visits;

• interactions with website features; and

• cookie or similar technology information.

​

2. How We Use Information

​

We may use personal information to:

​

• determine whether we can provide the requested service;

• communicate with you concerning your inquiry or order;

• prepare and process documents;

• coordinate proxy-marriage services;

• verify information and identity;

• communicate with government offices, notaries, officiants, proxy representatives, and other persons involved in completing the service;

• process payments;

• arrange delivery of documents or certified copies;

• provide customer support;

• maintain business and transaction records;

• prevent or investigate suspected fraud, identity misuse, or unlawful activity;

• protect our rights and the security of our customers and services;

• comply with applicable laws, court orders, subpoenas, and other legal obligations;

• operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website and services; and

• carry out other purposes disclosed to you when information is collected or with your consent.

​

We do not use information submitted for proxy-marriage services to provide legal representation unless you separately establish an attorney-client relationship through a written attorney-client agreement with an attorney or law firm.

​

3. How We Disclose Information

​

We may disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to provide our services, including to:

​

• Montana Clerks of District Court and other government offices;

• officiants;

• proxy representatives;

• notaries;

• payment processors;

• shipping and delivery providers;

• website hosting and technology providers;

• professional advisers and service providers assisting our business; and

• other third parties necessary to complete services you request.

​​

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful governmental requests or legal process, investigate suspected fraud or unlawful activity, protect legal rights or safety, or enforce our agreements.

​

If Marriages By Proxy is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, sale of assets, reorganization, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.

​

4. Government Records

​

Certain information submitted in connection with a marriage license or marriage certificate may become part of governmental records.

​

Once information has been submitted to a government agency, that agency's collection, retention, disclosure, and public-record practices are governed by applicable law and the agency's own procedures. Marriages By Proxy does not control government records maintained by governmental entities.

​

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

​

Our website and service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, maintain security, understand website usage, and improve functionality.

​

Depending upon the technologies used on our website, you may be able to manage certain cookies through your browser settings or a cookie-management tool made available on the website.

​

Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of portions of the website.

​

6. Sale and Targeted Advertising

​

Marriages By Proxy does not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

​

7. Data Security

​

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information in our possession.

​

No internet transmission, electronic storage system, or security procedure can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or maintained by us.

​

You should not send highly sensitive information through ordinary email or other unsecured channels unless specifically instructed to do so.

​

8. Data Retention

​

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce agreements.

​

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending upon the purpose for which the information was collected and applicable legal requirements.

​

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, destroy, or de-identify it consistent with applicable law and our record-retention practices.

​

9. Privacy Rights

​

Depending upon where you reside and applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information we maintain about you.

​

These rights may include the right to request:

​

• confirmation of whether we process your personal information;

• access to personal information;

• correction of inaccurate information;

• deletion of certain information;

• a portable copy of certain information.

​

Certain information may be exempt from a request where permitted by law, including information that must be retained to complete a transaction, comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, establish or defend legal claims, or for another legally permitted purpose.

​

We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before processing a privacy request.

​

To submit a privacy request, contact us at info@marriagesbyproxy.com

Please include sufficient information for us to identify you and understand your request.

​

If applicable law provides a right to appeal our decision concerning a privacy request, you may submit an appeal using the same contact information and identify the request as a “Privacy Appeal.”

​

10. Children's Privacy

​

Our services are intended for individuals legally capable of entering into marriage and are not directed toward children for purposes of online commercial services.

​

We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through our website for purposes unrelated to providing a legally authorized service.

​

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us.

​

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

​

Our website may contain links to government websites or other third-party websites.

​

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or availability of third-party websites. You should review the privacy policies of those organizations before providing personal information to them.

​

12. International Users

​

If you access our website or provide information from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.

​

Privacy and data-protection laws in the United States may differ from those in your country of residence.

​

Additional requirements may apply when we knowingly provide services to residents of jurisdictions with specific international data-protection requirements.

​

13. No Attorney-Client Relationship

​

Information provided to Marriages By Proxy in connection with our ordinary commercial services is not provided to a law firm merely because an owner, employee, contractor, or person affiliated with Marriages By Proxy may also be an attorney.

​

Submitting information through this website does not create an attorney-client relationship.

​

Do not submit information to Marriages By Proxy with the expectation that it is protected by the attorney-client privilege unless an attorney has separately agreed in writing to represent you concerning that matter.

​

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

​

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, services, or legal obligations.
