Keep client data inside your firm

We never ask for, receive, or store your clients’ information. Every prompt is written for de-identified inputs or the AI tools your firm has approved.

De-identification check · before any AI toolSample · fictional data

Raw notes[full name], DOB [date], case no. [number], arrested at [address]

↓

Safe inputClient A, adult, arrested last week, released on bond. Court date mentioned.

  • No names, dates of birth, case numbers, or addresses
  • Tool is on the firm’s approved list
  • No client data leaves your firm to us. Ever.

A person approves everything

Every prompt and agent is draft-only. A named person at your firm signs off before anything reaches a client, a court, or the public.
