Privacy Policy
ExplainLaw (“we”, “us”, “our”) provides an educational tool that translates and explains legal language in plain English. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use the ExplainLaw website and related services (the “Service”).
1. Purpose of the Service
ExplainLaw is an educational service designed to help users better understand legal language and legal concepts. The Service is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not offer legal advice.
2. Information You Provide
When you use the Service, you may voluntarily submit legal text, legal terms, citations, or other content for explanation.
Important: Please avoid submitting personal, sensitive, or confidential information (for example: SSNs, account numbers, medical details, or anything you would not want shared).
3. What We Store
We may store:
- Generated explanation output (the plain-English explanation returned by the Service), to operate and improve the Service.
- Limited usage/technical data, such as timestamps, general platform type (for example, web or mobile), request success or error status, response time, and the approximate length of submitted text (character count only).
We use this information to operate, maintain, and improve the Service and to manage system performance and costs.
4. What We Do Not Store
We do not store the original text you submit for explanation after processing is complete. We do not require user accounts. We do not intentionally collect personal identifiers such as your name, address, or phone number.
5. Third-Party Services
ExplainLaw relies on third-party infrastructure (for example, hosting providers and AI model providers) to process requests and generate explanations. Your submitted text is transmitted securely to these providers only as needed to generate a response.
Our AI provider may retain API request data for a limited period for safety and abuse monitoring purposes (for example, up to 30 days), depending on the provider’s policies and settings. [oai_citation:0‡OpenAI Platform](https://platform.openai.com/docs/faq?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
We do not sell, rent, or trade user data.
6. Cookies and Analytics
We may use minimal technical tools necessary to operate and secure the website. We do not use advertising cookies or behavioral tracking at this time.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we process and store. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
