Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2026

SteadyCounsel is in active private development. This policy describes our current practices and the protections we are building; some safeguards described here are still being implemented. It has not yet been reviewed by counsel. For any privacy question, or to request a copy or deletion of your data, contact privacy@steadycounsel.com.

1. Data We Collect

SteadyCounsel collects only the data necessary to provide our service:

  • Account information: Email address, name, and authentication credentials
  • Case data: Documents, messages, and communications you upload or sync
  • Usage data: Feature usage patterns to improve the product (anonymized)

We do NOT collect: Social Security numbers, financial account details, or data from children under 13.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • To provide AI-powered analysis of your legal communications
  • To generate response drafts tailored to your voice and case
  • To surface patterns in the communications you provide
  • To sync your co-parenting platform messages when you connect them

We do not train our own AI models on your personal data. Your case information is used solely to serve you. We use third-party AI providers to operate the app (see Section 5) and are configuring each to prevent training on, and to minimize retention of, your data. Until that configuration is confirmed for every provider, we cannot guarantee it for all of them.

3. Data Security

We rely on established infrastructure providers and are actively hardening our own controls. Current measures include:

  • Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, provided by our infrastructure vendors
  • Per-user access controls (row-level security) in our database; we are extending this enforcement across all access paths
  • No routine employee access to user data

Our infrastructure providers (Supabase, Railway, Pinecone) maintain their own security programs. SteadyCounsel does not currently hold a security certification of its own, and we do not claim one.

4. Data Ownership

You own your data.

Settings offers an export of the listed structured account records. It does not include original file bytes, search indexes, or every account table, and is not a complete backup. Available originals can be downloaded individually from The Record. You may request a fuller copy of your data, or its deletion, by contacting us; these requests are handled manually. When you ask us to delete your data, we remove it from our systems; note that third-party providers may retain data for a period under their own policies before it is purged.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following providers to operate SteadyCounsel. Their data-handling terms vary, and we are reviewing and configuring each to minimize retention and prevent training on your data:

  • Supabase: Database and authentication
  • Pinecone: Vector search for document retrieval
  • Anthropic Claude: AI synthesis
  • Voyage AI: Document embeddings
  • Cohere: Search reranking

Do not assume any provider deletes your data immediately; some retain data for a period under their own policies. A detailed subprocessor list will be published as these settings are finalized.

6. Your Rights

You may ask us to:

  • Access the data we hold about you
  • Export your data
  • Delete your account and associated data
  • Opt out of anonymized usage analytics
  • Correct inaccurate data

To exercise any of these, contact us. Some requests are handled manually while self-service tools are being built.
