Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 18, 2026

1. Who we are

ClauseGuard AI (“ClauseGuard,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides an AI-powered contract review platform available at www.theclauseguard.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

2. Information we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you sign in via Google, your name and profile picture. We store this in our authentication system (Supabase Auth).

Contract documents

When you upload a contract for analysis, the document is processed in memory by our AI engine. We do not permanently store the raw document file on our servers. The structured analysis results (risk scores, clause findings, recommendations) are stored in your account so you can access them later.

Payment information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see, store, or have access to your full credit card number. Stripe provides us with a transaction reference and your billing email.

Usage data

We collect standard usage data including pages visited, features used, analysis count, browser type, and IP address. This helps us improve the product and diagnose issues.

3. How we use your information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve the ClauseGuard service
  • To process your contract analyses and store results in your account
  • To process payments and manage your subscription
  • To send transactional emails (analysis results, deadline alerts, team invitations)
  • To respond to your support requests
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • To comply with legal obligations

4. How we do NOT use your information

We do not use your uploaded contracts to train AI models.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

We do not permanently store raw contract files after analysis is complete.

We do not share contract content with other users or third parties.

5. Data retention

Account information is retained as long as your account is active. Analysis results are retained in your account until you delete them. If you delete your account, all associated data (analysis results, obligations, playbooks) is permanently deleted within 30 days.
