Privacy Policy
Pocket Lawyer (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our websites, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
1. Scope and informational nature of the Services
Pocket Lawyer provides informational tools and software features designed to help you organize legal-related information and understand general concepts. The Services are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Nothing in this Privacy Policy creates an attorney–client relationship.
2. Information we collect
We may collect the following categories of information, depending on how you use the Services:
- Account and contact data: such as your name, email address, and authentication identifiers when you create an account or join a waitlist.
- Content you provide: text, files, notes, templates, or other materials you upload or generate within the app.
- Device and technical data: such as device type, operating system version, app version, crash logs, and diagnostic data to maintain reliability and security.
- Usage data: such as feature interactions, timestamps, and in-app events, collected in aggregated or pseudonymous form where feasible.
- Communications: messages you send to us (for example, support requests).
3. How we use information
We use information for purposes such as:
- Providing, maintaining, and improving the Services;
- Processing waitlist signups and sending transactional or product-related messages;
- Personalizing features and improving relevance of in-app assistance, subject to your settings and applicable law;
- Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Service;
- Aggregating or de-identifying data so it no longer identifies you, where permitted.
4. AI processing disclosure
Certain features may use artificial intelligence (“AI”) or machine learning models to generate summaries, suggestions, drafts, or organizational structures based on your inputs. When you use these features:
- Your inputs may be transmitted to our service providers or infrastructure partners that host or run AI models, which may be located in the United States or other countries.
- We configure processing to support the requested feature (for example, generating a summary), and we work with providers under contractual safeguards appropriate to the risk.
- Depending on your settings, product roadmap, and legal requirements, we may use de-identified or aggregated data to evaluate quality, safety, and model performance. We do not sell your personal information as “sale” is defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
- AI outputs may be inaccurate or incomplete. You should verify important information and consult a qualified attorney for advice specific to your situation.
5. Storage and retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Services, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary based on data type and business need. You may request deletion of certain information as described below, subject to exceptions (for example, records we must keep for legal compliance).
6. Sharing of information
We may share information with:
- Service providers who assist with hosting, analytics, customer support, email delivery, security, and AI inference;
- Professional advisors (such as lawyers or accountants) under confidentiality obligations;
- Authorities when required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security;
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, subject to appropriate protections.
We do not sell your personal information for monetary consideration.
7. Security
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export personal information, or to opt out of certain processing. You may also unsubscribe from marketing emails via the link in those emails. To exercise privacy rights, contact privacy@pocketlawyer.app. We may verify your request as permitted by law.
9. Children’s privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
10. International users
If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy with a new “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice (such as in-app notification or email).
