Privacy by Architecture
Your contract stays yours.
Not a policy promise. A structural guarantee enforced by code and database constraints.
Your contract is never stored
Your file is read in memory and discarded immediately after text extraction. It never touches a database or disk.
Text expires in 15 minutes
Extracted text lives in an encrypted ephemeral cache with a 15-minute TTL. Then it's gone. No recovery.
You control what's saved
Choose 'Don't store anything' and nothing persists. Choose 'Save my report' and only the AI analysis is kept — deletable anytime.
See What a Report Looks Like
This is a real analysis of a fictional freelance services agreement. Click findings to explore citations and risk details.
This is a standard Independent Contractor Agreement with several clauses that disproportionately favor the client. The intellectual property assignment is overly broad, the non-compete is unusually restrictive for a freelance engagement, and the payment terms create significant cash flow risk. The termination clause allows the client to exit without compensating for work in progress. While the scope of work and deliverables are clearly defined, the liability and indemnification provisions expose you to risk well beyond the contract value.
