Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 August 2026

AdvocateDesk reads property title documents and drafts a title opinion for advocates. This page says what we keep, what we never see, and who else touches your data.

What we collect

Your account. You sign in with Google through Clerk, our sign-in provider. We receive your name and email from Clerk. We never see your Google password.

Your documents, while we read them. When you upload a deed bundle, each file is written to temporary storage on our application server and sent as a temporary private attachment to the AI providers that produce and audit the report. We do not keep the raw PDF or image files in our database. What we save is the extracted content as structured JSON, a SHA-256 hash of the exact files you uploaded, the list of file names, the page count, and the finished report.

Your usage. We count how many previews and reports you run each day so we can apply the daily limit.

Your website visit. On public product and tool pages, we collect cookieless anonymous traffic information such as the page path, referring site, device type, and approximate country. We do not record sessions or identify visitors through this analytics.

What we never see

Your Google password. Clerk handles sign-in end to end.

Your card number, UPI id, or bank details. Our payment gateway collects those on its own checkout screen. They never reach our servers. We only get back a payment id and a captured/failed result.

Your raw files as permanent AdvocateDesk records. The application deletes its temporary local copies after processing. It also asks Google and OpenAI to delete the temporary attachments when processing finishes; automatic provider expiry is configured as a fallback if immediate cleanup cannot complete.

Where your documents go

To produce a report we send your documents to Google (Gemini) and to OpenAI through their APIs as private file attachments. Gemini extracts the content and OpenAI audits the findings. Google attachments expire automatically within 48 hours if immediate deletion does not complete; OpenAI attachments are configured to expire after one hour as the fallback. Provider security and abuse-monitoring retention is governed by their applicable API terms.

We store the saved report and your account record in Neon, a managed Postgres database. The application runs on Render, our hosting provider.

Third parties who handle your data

• Clerk, for sign-in and account management.
• Neon, our Postgres database, where saved reports and account records live.
• Google (Gemini) and OpenAI, which read your document text to extract and audit the findings.
• Our payment gateway, which processes payments. Card and UPI details go to the payment gateway, not to us.
• Render, which hosts the application.
• PostHog EU, for cookieless anonymous traffic analytics on public product and tool pages.

Logs

Our server writes request and error logs so we can debug problems. By default those logs do not include your document contents or your file names.

How long we keep things

Preview attempts expire 24 hours after you start them. After that the stored extraction for an unpaid preview is no longer used.

Saved reports stay until you delete them. Open My documents, delete any report, and its stored JSON is removed from our database. Deleting a report does not refund a daily usage slot, because the usage ledger holds no document content.
