Your Client Data Stays Yours

We built Florida Lawyer AI for attorneys who take confidentiality seriously. Here's exactly how we protect your data.

Every Legal Tool Uses AI. How You Use It Matters.

Most AI tools run on consumer chatbots — the same ones you'd use from your couch. Florida Lawyer AI is built on a commercial enterprise API (Anthropic's Claude), not consumer ChatGPT or Claude.ai.

When attorneys type into consumer AI platforms, those platforms may review and use conversations for training. That's what got attorneys in trouble in United States v. Heppner.

Our setup is fundamentally different. We connect through Anthropic's commercial API under terms that explicitly prohibit using your inputs or outputs for AI training.

The Heppner Warning

In United States v. Heppner (S.D.N.Y. 2026), the court ruled that conversations entered into consumer AI chatbots are not protected by attorney-client privilege because data was shared with a third party (the AI company) for training purposes. The court applied the third-party doctrine.

Why Florida Lawyer AI Is Different

Under Anthropic's commercial API terms, your data is never used for model training, improvement, or any purpose beyond generating your response. The third-party doctrine doesn't apply because no human at Anthropic reviews your data, and the data isn't incorporated into any model. Your conversations are processed, returned, and that's it.

Zero AI Training on Your Data

Anthropic's commercial API terms are unambiguous:

  • Your inputs (documents, questions, case facts) are never used to train AI models
  • Your outputs (analysis, generated filings) are never used to train AI models
  • Anthropic does not retain your API data beyond the brief processing window
  • No Anthropic employee reviews your queries or responses

This is contractually guaranteed under their commercial terms of service, not a marketing promise.

Encrypted at Every Layer

Your data is protected in transit and at rest:

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit between your browser, our servers, and Anthropic's API
  • Encrypted PostgreSQL database at rest — your documents, analysis results, and chat history are encrypted on disk
  • Bcrypt password hashing — we never store your password in plaintext; we use industry-standard bcrypt with salt rounds
  • Secure session tokens — authentication uses cryptographically signed tokens that expire automatically

Complete Matter Isolation

Every piece of data in Florida Lawyer AI is scoped to a specific user and matter:

  • Documents uploaded to one matter are never accessible from another matter
  • Chat history, analysis results, and generated documents are isolated per matter
  • No data from one user's account is ever visible to another user
  • Database-level foreign key constraints enforce this isolation — it's not just application logic, it's structural

No Third-Party Tracking

We take a hard line on privacy:

  • No Google Analytics — we don't track your behavior
  • No advertising pixels — no Facebook, Google, or LinkedIn tracking
  • No third-party telemetry — we don't send your usage data to anyone
  • No data brokers — we never sell or share your information

Your usage data stays in our encrypted database and is used solely to enforce plan limits and improve your experience.

Secure Authentication

Account security is built in from day one:

  • Individual user accounts — each attorney has their own login with isolated data
  • Bcrypt-hashed passwords — industry-standard one-way encryption
  • Secure payments via Stripe — we never see or store your credit card number; Stripe handles all payment data under PCI DSS compliance
  • No shared accounts — your work is yours alone

The Bottom Line

Heppner was about consumer chatbots — tools where your data becomes part of the AI's training pipeline. Florida Lawyer AI is a professional tool built on a commercial API with contractual privacy guarantees.

Your documents go in, your analysis comes out, and your data goes nowhere else.
