ClauseInk Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2025

ClauseInk ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and your work. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and — just as importantly — what we don't do with it.

Important: ClauseInk is a legal drafting tool, not a law firm. No attorney-client relationship is created through our platform, and we do not offer legal advice.

🔒 1. What We Collect

We collect only what's needed to provide you with a secure, functioning editor:

1.1 Account Information (via Clerk):

  • Email address
  • Login metadata (IP address, browser/device info)
  • Session authentication tokens

1.2 Document Content (via Supabase):

  • Text you create, paste, or edit in the ClauseInk editor
  • Clauses you save to your personal library
  • Metadata like save/export timestamps

1.3 AI Usage (via OpenAI):

  • When you use AI features (Rewrite, Simplify, etc.), the selected clause and your prompt are sent to OpenAI's GPT-4 API temporarily for processing
  • No document content is stored by ClauseInk after being sent to OpenAI, and OpenAI does not use your data to train its models

1.4 Payments (via Stripe):

  • We do not collect or store credit card data
  • Stripe handles all billing and subscription data securely and PCI-compliantly

1.5 Analytics (Optional):

  • We may use anonymous analytics (like Vercel Analytics or Plausible) to understand how features are used
  • No personally identifiable information is tracked for marketing or advertising

🚫 2. What We Don't Do

  • We don't sell, rent, or share your data with third-party advertisers
  • We don't access your documents unless needed for debugging (and only with permission)
  • We don't store AI prompts or responses beyond the duration of your session
  • We don't allow AI models to train on your data

📤 3. Exports and Control

  • You can download your documents and clause library anytime
  • You can delete your account and all data through your settings or by emailing support@clauseink.com
  • We retain deleted user data for up to 30 days before permanent removal (for recovery and legal compliance)

📦 4. Data Storage and Security

  • All user documents are stored securely on Supabase, encrypted at rest
  • Authentication is managed through Clerk, which uses secure session tokens
  • Our frontend is hosted on Vercel; backend runs on Replit
  • All data transfers occur over HTTPS
  • We use strict access controls internally to prevent unauthorized access

🌍 5. International Users

ClauseInk operates globally but stores all user data on servers located in the U.S. If you're in the EU or UK, you're entitled to GDPR protections, including:

  • Right to access or correct your data
  • Right to deletion
  • Right to object to data processing

Requests can be sent to support@clauseink.com

🧒 6. Minors

ClauseInk is intended for legal professionals only. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18.

🔁 7. Policy Changes

We'll post any major changes to this page. If anything significant changes, we'll notify you by email.
