Welcome to ContractGuard AI ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at support@contractguard.app.

When you use our website and services (the "Services"), you trust us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy notice, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important.

2. Information We Collect

The personal information we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use.

Contract Text: When you submit contract text for analysis, this text is processed by our AI models. As per our PRD, we do not store full contracts long-term. Extracts of clauses identified as risky may be retained temporarily for the purpose of generating your report and improving our service, but are handled with strict confidentiality and anonymization where possible.

Usage Data: We may collect information about how you access and use the Services. This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Services that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

Payment Information: For payment processing (e.g., $9.99 per audit), we use third-party payment processors. We do not store your full credit card details. The payment processors may collect information necessary to process your payment.

• To find and prevent fraud.

4. Sharing Your Personal Information

We do not share your contract text with third parties, except as necessary to provide the AI analysis service (e.g., with our AI model providers under strict confidentiality agreements). We may share anonymized or aggregated data derived from contract analyses for research and service improvement purposes.

5. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information.
