Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how CoClient collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the CoClient website and Mac application.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect account information (such as your email address), billing information processed by Stripe, and limited diagnostic or usage information about the CoClient Mac app. Case files and case memory remain stored locally on your Mac. Case-derived content or queries leave your Mac only when you authorize the exact request once or grant a scoped approval for the current case session.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to provide and improve CoClient, process payments, communicate with you about your account or the alpha, and comply with legal obligations.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information stored on our servers. Because privileged case material stays local by default, you remain in control of your most sensitive files.

5. Your Choices

You may update or delete your account by contacting us. Optional OpenAI, DuckDuckGo, CourtListener, Gmail search, public-source, and server rules lookups show the finalized outbound URL or request body before transmission. You may keep the request local, authorize that exact request once, or authorize matching requests for the current case session. Session approvals are held only in memory, are scoped by case, provider, operation, destination, and data class, and may be revoked for future requests. Revocation cannot recall information already sent. Outside providers may retain authorized requests under their own policies or disclose them when legally required.

Advanced users may enter their own OpenAI API key in the Mac app. The key is held for the running app session, is sent only to OpenAI as required to authenticate an approved request, and is not sent to CoClient. Approved requests travel directly from the Mac app to OpenAI. OpenAI usage is billed to and governed by the key owner's OpenAI account.

Authorizing a transmission may affect confidentiality or attorney-client privilege. CoClient does not determine whether privilege exists or whether a particular disclosure legally waives it.

6. Draft Status

This privacy policy is a draft and has not been reviewed by legal counsel. It will be finalized before CoClient is released to the general public.
