Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
ClauseGuard processes uploaded documents transiently to extract text and generate an analysis. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how long we keep it.
What We Collect
- Analysis results — retained for up to 48 hours
- Unlock/payment status for each analysis
- Minimal technical logs for reliability and debugging
What We Do Not Store
- Original uploaded files (PDF/DOCX) — discarded after text extraction
- Personal data, unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g. via Paddle during checkout)
Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate ClauseGuard:
- OpenAI — processes extracted contract text to generate analysis
- Paddle — handles payment processing as our merchant of record
- Upstash — temporary storage of analysis results (auto-deleted after 48 hours)
- Vercel — hosting and infrastructure
Each service has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them for details on how they handle data.
Cookies
ClauseGuard does not use tracking cookies or analytics cookies. Paddle may set cookies during the checkout process to facilitate payment. These are governed by Paddle's cookie policy.
Data Retention
All analysis data is automatically deleted 48 hours after creation. We do not maintain long-term archives of uploaded files or analysis results.
Your Rights
You may:
- Request deletion of any data associated with your analysis
- Request information about what data is currently stored
