This Privacy Policy describes how Wythe Intelligence LLC("Wythe," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you access or use the Wythe legal-research platform and any related websites, applications, and APIs (collectively, the "Service").
This Policy is incorporated into and governed by our Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in the Terms of Service.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to information we collect about beta users and visitors to our Service. It does not apply to information about employees, contractors, or investors, which is handled separately.
The Service is offered to U.S.-based legal professionals as a research aid. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
2. Information We Collect
a. Information you provide
- Account information. When we invite you to the beta or you accept an invitation, we collect your email address and any other identifiers you provide (such as your name, firm or organization, and role).
- Authentication. We use magic-link email authentication; we do not collect or store passwords.
- Queries and inputs. Search queries, filters, saved searches, and any text you submit to the Service.
- Feedback. Bug reports, suggestions, and other communications you send to us, whether by email or through any in-product channel.
- Billing information. If we collect fees, we (or our payment processor) may collect billing contact details and payment method information. We do not store full payment-card numbers on our own servers.
b. Information collected automatically
- Usage data. Pages viewed, documents opened, search activity, and interactions with the Service. We may use this to improve relevance, diagnose issues, and prioritize work.
- Device and log data. IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, timestamps, and similar technical information that is recorded by our hosting and edge providers as part of normal operation.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We use strictly necessary cookies and local storage to keep you signed in (via Supabase authentication) and to remember basic preferences. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, pixels, or cross-site tracking. We do not run third-party analytics such as Google Analytics, Mixpanel, or similar.
c. Information from third parties
- Service providers. We may receive limited information about you from the third parties that operate our infrastructure (for example, delivery status from our email provider).
3. How We Use Information
We use information for the following purposes:
- Operating the Service. Authenticating you, maintaining your account, delivering search results, displaying documents, and otherwise providing the Service.
- Improving the Service. Diagnosing bugs, measuring performance, improving search relevance and OCR quality, identifying which features are useful, and prioritizing roadmap work.
- Communications. Sending magic-link sign-in emails, beta updates, product announcements, and responses to your support requests.
- Security and abuse prevention. Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity, and enforcing our Terms of Service.
- Legal compliance. Complying with applicable laws, regulations, subpoenas, and lawful government requests, and protecting our rights and the rights of others.
We do notsell your personal information, and we do not "share" your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
4. AI and Machine-Learning Processing
We use third-party language-model and embedding providers (such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, and Voyage) to process FEC source documents into searchable text and embeddings.
5. How We Share Information
We share information only as described below.
a. Service providers (processors)
We share information with vendors who process data on our behalf under appropriate confidentiality and data-protection terms, including:
- Supabase — database, authentication, and row-level security.
- Vercel — frontend hosting and edge delivery.
- DigitalOcean Spaces — storage of PDFs and processed assets.
- Cloudflare — DNS and edge protection.
- Anthropic, OpenAI, Mistral, Voyage — language-model and embedding APIs used in document processing and select user-facing features.
- Email and support providers — magic-link delivery and support communications.
- Payment processor (if and when we charge fees) — to process billing.
We do not authorize these providers to use your personal information for their own marketing purposes.
b. Legal and safety
We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a lawful government request, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Wythe, our users, or others.
c. Business transfers
If Wythe is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality terms.
d. With your consent
We may share information for any other purpose disclosed to you and with your consent.
6. Data Retention
We retain account information for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Usage logs and request logs are retained for a shorter period sufficient for security, debugging, and performance work — typically not longer than 24 months. We may keep aggregated, de-identified data indefinitely.
You may ask us to delete your account at any time using the contact details in Section 11.
7. Security
We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. These include encryption in transit (HTTPS), encryption at rest where supported by our providers, role-based access controls, magic-link authentication, and row-level security in our database.
No system is perfectly secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for notifying us promptly of any suspected unauthorized access.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you reside, you may have rights with respect to your personal information. For example, residents of certain U.S. states (such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and others) may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information we hold about them, and to opt out of certain processing.
To exercise these rights, contact us at info@wytheintelligence.com. We will respond consistent with applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.
You can also:
- Stop submitting queries or documents to the Service at any time.
- Ask us to close your beta account.
- Unsubscribe from non-essential email by replying to the email or using any unsubscribe mechanism we provide. Service-related emails (such as magic-link sign-in and security notices) are not optional while you have an active account.
9. International Users
The Service is operated from and intended for use within the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States (and possibly in other jurisdictions where our service providers operate). U.S. data-protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you (for example, by email or in-product notice) before the changes take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
