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.
