The documents you upload describe your legal situation. They may contain information about alleged crimes, witnesses, and facts that could affect the outcome of your case. How we handle them matters.
This is the question that should stop every defendant before they put their case documents into a public AI tool like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. The answer depends on how the AI is structured and who controls the data.
Attorney-client privilege protects communications between a client and their attorney from disclosure. Pro se defendants don't have an attorney, so the privilege framework doesn't apply in the same way — but confidentiality of your legal strategy still matters. Information you share with a general-purpose AI that trains on user inputs, logs conversations, or shares data with third parties is not confidential in any meaningful sense.
The work product doctrine — which protects the materials you prepare in anticipation of litigation — is also relevant here. Uploading your case strategy to a system that might expose it to opposing parties or government actors is a risk that deserves serious consideration.
ChatGPT, Gemini, and similar tools are consumer products. Their privacy policies are written for general use. They may log conversations for quality assurance, may use inputs to improve their models, and are subject to the same subpoena risk as any other third-party data holder.
These tools also lack jurisdiction-specific knowledge, judge data, and any understanding of your case context. They are general tools answering general questions. We explain this in detail here.
A platform built specifically for defendants can make commitments that consumer tools cannot. The data handling architecture can be designed from the start to treat case documents as sensitive — not as user content to be retained, analyzed, and leveraged.
When your freedom is at stake, the privacy properties of your tool are not a secondary concern. They are part of the product.
A practical note: The full technical privacy policy — data retention schedules, deletion procedures, subpoena response policy, and infrastructure vendor disclosures — will be published before we accept any user data. We will not open signups until that policy is finalized and publicly available. What's on this page describes our commitments and principles; the binding terms are in the full policy.
Retained while your case is active on the platform. Deleted on request. Automatically flagged for deletion after a period of inactivity. Not transferred to any third party.
Name, email, state, and case status collected at signup. Used to operate your account and communicate about the platform. Not sold. Not shared with advertisers.
Aggregate platform usage is tracked for product improvement. Individual session content is not analyzed. Token usage is logged for billing purposes only.
No platform can guarantee immunity from legal process. If a government entity serves a valid subpoena or court order for your data, we are legally obligated to respond. This is true of every platform that holds user data.
What we commit to: we will notify you of any legal process affecting your data to the extent we are legally permitted to do so. We will challenge overbroad requests. We will not volunteer data beyond what is legally compelled.
The best defense against subpoena risk is minimal data retention. We keep what's needed to serve you and delete the rest. We do not build comprehensive behavioral profiles that become litigation targets.
The full privacy policy will be published before we open access. Join the waitlist and you'll receive it directly when it's available.
