Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Last updated August 30, 2026. This replaces our previous policy of February 19, 2019.

This policy explains what we collect when you use evidenceattrial.com, what we do with it, and what you can ask us to do about it. It covers this website, the courses and membership sold on it, and the emails we send. It does not cover any other website.

Evidence at Trial is operated from Newport Beach, California. If you have a question about anything here, write to [email protected].

1. What we collect

Information you give us:

• When you create an account: your name, your email address, and a password.
• When you buy something: your name, your email address, billing information, and the record of what you bought. Card details go directly to our payment processor. We do not receive or store full card numbers.
• When you use a form on this site: whatever you put in it. That is your name, your email address, your firm, a telephone number if you choose to give one, and your message.
• When you ask for free material or join our email list: your name and your email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, ours records basic technical information when you visit: your IP address, your browser and device type, the pages you look at, and the date and time. We use it to keep the site working and to understand which material people find useful.

We do not ask for your date of birth, your gender, your government identification numbers, or any sensitive personal information, and we do not want them. If you send us something of that kind we will delete it.

2. How we use it

To give you what you bought and to run your account. To answer you when you write to us. To issue MCLE credit and keep the records the State Bar of California requires. To send you the free material you asked for and, if you are on our list, occasional information about our courses. To keep the site secure and to prevent fraud and automated abuse. To meet our tax, accounting and legal obligations.

3. Who we share it with

We use a small number of service providers, and we give each of them only what it needs in order to do its job for us:

• Kajabi, LLC hosts this website, our courses, member accounts, checkout and email. Kajabi handles almost everything described in this policy.
• Our payment processor handles card payments made through this site. Payment details are collected by the processor. We do not store full card numbers.
• Payhip sells the book Picked to Win. If you buy the book you are buying from Payhip, which collects your name, email address and payment details under its own privacy policy.
• Google, through Google Tag Manager, which loads our website analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA, which protects our forms from automated submissions.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or where we need to in order to protect our rights or someone's safety.

4. What we do not do

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with anyone for their own marketing. We do not rent, trade or lend our customer list, and we have no promotional partners.

5. Cookies and analytics

A cookie is a small file that a website stores in your browser. Ours keep you signed in and let us measure how the site is used:

• _kjb_session keeps your session while you are signed in.
• kjba and _abv are used by Kajabi to operate the site.
• Analytics cookies are set through Google Tag Manager so that we can see which pages and courses people read.

We use analytics for our own purposes only. We do not run advertising pixels on this site, and we do not use any of this to build profiles for advertisers.

Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. If you block them, the parts of this site that require you to be signed in will not work.

6. reCAPTCHA

Our forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA, which helps us tell a person from an automated script. To do that, reCAPTCHA collects information about your device and about how you interact with the page, and sends it to Google. Its use is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Terms of Service. We use it only to protect our forms.

7. If you write to us about a trial or a possible engagement

Please read the notice on that page before you send the form. Sending it does not make us your lawyers and does not create an attorney-client relationship. We check conflicts before any substantive conversation, and until that is done we cannot treat what you send as confidential or privileged. Please do not send confidential case material in a first message.

We keep these inquiries the way we keep any other correspondence. They are read by David Sugden and by anyone he asks to help handle them, and they are not shared with anyone else.

8. Email

If you ask for free material or subscribe to our list, we use your email address to send you what you asked for and, from time to time, information about our courses. Every one of those emails has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Unsubscribing stops the marketing email; it does not affect a membership or a course you have bought, and you will still receive the messages you need in order to use your account.

9. How long we keep it

We keep account and purchase records for as long as your account is open, and afterward for as long as we need them for tax, accounting and MCLE recordkeeping. We keep correspondence for as long as it is useful and then delete it. Technical log data is kept for a short period and then discarded.

10. Your choices

You can ask us at any time to tell you what we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Write to [email protected] and put "Privacy request" in the subject line. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on it. We do not charge for this, and we will not treat you any differently for asking.

Deleting your account also ends your access to any course or membership you have bought, and we cannot restore it afterward.

If you are a California resident: we do not sell or share your personal information as those terms are used in the California Consumer Privacy Act, and the rights described above — to know what we hold, to correct it, and to have it deleted — are available to you.

11. Children

This site is meant for practicing lawyers. It is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us information, write to us and we will delete it.

12. Security and where your information is held

We take reasonable steps to protect what we hold, and our providers do the same, but no website can promise perfect security. This site is operated in the United States and information is stored there. If you use it from outside the United States, your information is handled here.

13. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will change the date at the top and post the new version on this page. If a change is significant we will say so.
