Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 27, 2026 · Version 1.0

Law Radar (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you use the Law Radar platform (“the Service”). This policy complies with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the Alberta Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

• Account information: Name, email address, firm name, bar number (optional), and practice area selections.
• Preferences: Selected practice areas, court levels, feed sources, custom keywords, digest frequency, and timezone.
• Payment information: Processed securely through Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or banking details on our servers. Stripe’s privacy policy governs payment data.
• Survey responses: If you complete a trial feedback survey, we collect your ratings and comments.
• Communications: If you contact us, we retain the correspondence for support purposes.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Usage data: Pages visited, features used, articles viewed, and digest interaction data.
• Device and browser information: Browser type, operating system, and IP address (for security and analytics).
• Cookies: We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We use Google Analytics (GA4) for aggregate usage analytics with advertising features disabled.

1.3 Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as social insurance numbers, health records, or biometric data. We do not read, store, or process the content of your legal work product, client files, or privileged communications.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

• Providing the Service: Delivering personalized legal digests, filtering articles by your practice areas, and managing your account.
• AI processing: Your practice area preferences inform how we filter and prioritize content. We do not send your personal information to our AI provider (Anthropic). Only publicly available legal content (court decisions, legislation, news articles) is processed by AI.
• Communications: Sending transactional emails (account confirmation, digest delivery, trial notifications, subscription confirmations), and, with your consent, product updates.
• Billing: Processing subscription payments through Stripe.
• Improvement: Analysing aggregate usage patterns to improve the Service. We do not sell or share individual usage data.
• Security: Detecting and preventing unauthorized access, fraud, or abuse.

3. AI Processing and Data Handling

Law Radar uses Anthropic’s Claude AI to process publicly available legal content (court decisions, legislation, regulatory notices, and legal news). This processing generates summaries, practice area categorizations, relevance scores, and entity extraction.

Important details about our AI processing:

• Only publicly available legal content is sent to the AI — never your personal information, preferences, or account data.
• AI-generated outputs are stored in our database alongside the source article metadata.
• We use the Anthropic Batch API, which does not use submitted data for model training.
• AI processing occurs on Anthropic’s servers, which may be located in the United States (see Section 7).

4. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers (subprocessors): We use the following third-party services to operate the platform:

• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change.

5. Data Retention

• Account data: Retained for the lifetime of your subscription plus 30 days after account deletion.
• Email logs: Retained for 90 days.
• System logs: Retained for 30 days.
• Payment records: Retained as required by applicable tax and accounting laws.
• Backups: Deleted within 30 days of data deletion from primary systems.

After the retention period, personal information is permanently deleted or anonymized.

6. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA and Alberta PIPA, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: You may request deletion of your personal information. You can also delete your account directly through your account settings.
• Withdrawal of consent: You may withdraw consent for specific data uses at any time. Note that withdrawing consent for essential processing may require account termination.
• Complaint: You may file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the Alberta Information and Privacy Commissioner.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@govradar.ca. We will respond within 30 days.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers operate servers in the United States. By using the Service, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in Canada. We ensure that all service providers maintain appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal information.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and secure authentication. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that poses a real risk of significant harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Alberta Information and Privacy Commissioner without unreasonable delay, as required by PIPA and PIPEDA.

10. Electronic Communications (CASL)

In compliance with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, we send electronic messages only with your consent. Transactional emails (account confirmations, digest delivery, billing notifications) are sent as part of the service you have subscribed to. Marketing communications are sent only with explicit opt-in consent.

Every email we send includes clear sender identification and an easy unsubscribe mechanism. You may manage your email preferences in your account settings or unsubscribe via the link in any email.

11. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that we have collected information from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or in-app notification at least 14 days before taking effect. The current version and effective date are always available on this page.
