1. Who controls your data
Ashley Pardee, trading as Legal Compass Trial, is the data controller for personal data processed to operate this service. This notice covers the website and its educational preparation tools. Paddle handles payment information under its own privacy notice as Merchant of Record.
2. Data we use and why
- Account information: email address, account identifiers, authentication credentials managed by our sign-in service, and information supplied by Google or Lovable if you choose social sign-in. We use this to create accounts, verify access and protect private conversations.
- Submitted content: case narratives, parties and witness profiles, questions, answers, chat messages and rehearsal transcripts. We process these to organize intake, generate simulations and provide transcript-based feedback. Account assistant conversations and paid rehearsal records are stored with your account; demo rehearsal records are also stored to maintain session continuity.
- Voice input: audio you deliberately record is sent for transcription; the recognized text is shown for correction. Recordings are not saved as case files. Text is also processed to produce character speech.
- Subscription records: account-linked order and subscription references, status, rehearsal allowances and billing-cycle dates allow us to provide purchased access and prevent duplicate charges to an allowance. Card details are handled by Paddle, not stored in our application records.
- Support and security information: messages you send us, device/browser information, request metadata and error reports are used to assist you, troubleshoot failures and prevent abuse. Hosting, authentication and payment providers may process IP addresses for delivery and security; the visitor analytics described below does not retain them.
Use fictional aliases and remove confidential identifiers before submitting a narrative. AI organization is not a substitute for anonymizing it first. We do not need real client names, contact details or privileged documents for training.
3. Legal bases
We process account, rehearsal and subscription information to perform our contract with you; service reliability, support and fraud prevention are legitimate interests; legally required financial records are processed to meet legal obligations. Where required, optional processing relies on consent, which may be withdrawn. Your microphone is accessed only when you choose recording and grant browser permission.
4. Who receives information
Service providers receive information necessary to provide hosting, authentication, storage, support and AI processing. These include Lovable and the AI providers used through its gateway for narrative organization, chat, simulations, speech and transcription. Content submitted for those features is sent for processing; browser-local tools are not automatically copied to account storage.
We share account and order information with Paddle for sale of the product, subscription management, payments, tax compliance and invoicing. See Paddle's Privacy Notice. Google receives connection information for the fonts loaded on this site and, if selected, handles Google sign-in under its policies. Lovable handles Lovable sign-in if selected. We may share necessary information with professional legal or accounting advisers, or authorities when law requires it. We do not sell submitted case material.
5. Visitor analytics
On the published site, button and link clicks are recorded for every visitor; the site currently has no analytics consent banner. Page visits, time on page, page speed and errors are also recorded for every visitor, without cookies and without identifying anyone.
Lovable's visitor analytics records pages visited, referral sources, country, browser, operating system, device type, time on page, page-load speed, errors and button/link clicks. It uses no cookies, stores nothing on the visitor's device, does not keep IP addresses and does not identify visitors. Detailed data is kept for 90 days and daily summaries for a year. Lovable collects this data for us. Lovable's privacy policy explains how it handles it.
6. Cookies and browser storage
Cookie-free analytics does not mean the entire service uses no browser storage. Sign-in uses browser storage to keep your session. Case Manager and preparation checklists use local storage on your device; case briefings, trial records and deposition practice use tab-scoped session storage. These tools are not a permanent legal archive. Clear the site's stored data in your browser to remove local copies; this may sign you out and erase unsaved preparation work.
Paddle checkout and your chosen sign-in provider may use their own cookies or storage for payment and authentication security. This site does not currently load advertising pixels or a separate marketing analytics tool. Browser settings let you block or clear cookies and site storage, but essential sign-in or checkout features may not work.
7. Retention and security
Account content and rehearsal records are retained while needed to provide account history, enforce access and support the service; ending a rehearsal or exhausting a credit does not automatically delete its transcript. Order and security records may be kept longer when needed for legal obligations, fraud prevention or disputes. We delete or anonymize personal information when no longer needed, subject to those requirements. Browser-local records remain until you remove them, clear site data or, for tab-scoped data, end the browser session.
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures, including encrypted connections and account-based access controls, to protect information. No system is guaranteed secure. Avoid submitting privileged, highly sensitive or identifying case material.
8. Your rights and international processing
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal data, restrict or object to processing, and withdraw consent. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. Rights are subject to applicable law and any records we must retain. Removing browser-local data does not remove server-held account records. For payment-data requests, contact Paddle through paddle.net.
Our providers may process data in countries outside your own. Where applicable law requires international-transfer safeguards, appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses must apply. If UK or EEA data protection law applies, relevant rights include portability and a response to rights requests within one month, subject to lawful extensions.
9. Updates
We may update this notice as the service changes. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.
