What personal data we collect

Account and usage data:

• Your name and email address
• Login credentials (your password is stored hashed, we cannot read it)
• Subscription tier and payment status. Card and bank details are held by Mollie, our payment provider, not by us
• Your research chat prompts, conversations, and saved findings
• Documents you upload for analysis
• Voice audio when you use voice input (transcribed, then discarded)
• Google Drive files or Gmail drafts you explicitly select, only if you link your Google account
• If you contact us via a form, your message and contact details

Website statistics: your IP address, browser, language, referring site, visit time, and what you clicked. We use only our own server logs for this. We do not run third-party analytics or advertising trackers.

Chrome extension:If you install the Legalcomplex extension for Chrome, it reads the LinkedIn profile or company page you are viewing only when you click its button, shows you the sections it read, and sends the ones you keep to your Legalcomplex account over an encrypted connection. We store them as a pending import until you review them on your profile page, where you choose what to keep or dismiss them; kept sections become part of your professional context, which our research features use to personalise answers. If you select text on a page and choose “Look up in Legalcomplex”, the extension opens legalcomplex.com with the selected words as a company search; we handle those words like any search you type on our site. The extension contacts no site other than legalcomplex.com, never accesses your LinkedIn password, and runs nothing in the background. You can revoke the extension's token on your profile page at any time.

Why we process your data and on what legal basis

• Providing your account, subscriptions, and the research chat: performance of our contract with you (art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
• Payment processing via Mollie and invoicing: contract performance (art. 6(1)(b)) and legal obligation (art. 6(1)(c), Dutch tax rules)
• Google Drive/Gmail linking: your consent (art. 6(1)(a)), revocable at any time in your profile or via your Google account settings
• Voice input transcription: contract performance (art. 6(1)(b)). Audio is processed transiently and not stored by us
• Security logging (IP addresses, access logs): our legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f)) in protecting the service
• Responding to enquiries and leads: our legitimate interest (art. 6(1)(f)) in following up when you contact us

AI features

Our research chat and document review features are powered by third-party large language model providers. When you submit a prompt, upload a document, or use voice input, that content is transmitted to our AI processors to generate a response: xAI Corp. (USA) for text generation, Groq, Inc. (USA) for voice transcription in English, and Mistral AI (France) for voice transcription in other languages. Under their service terms, these providers do not use your content to train their models; xAI may hold API data up to 30 days for abuse monitoring, Groq does not retain it by default. Do not submit personal data of third parties or confidential information you are not authorised to share. Responses are generated by an AI system, not a human.

When you attach documents to a question, the words of your question (not the documents) are also sent to OpenRouter, Inc. (USA), which passes them to TypeSafe's Jev decision model. Jev only reads whether you want the documents reviewed or a new contract drafted, and returns that choice; when it is not sure, Monocle asks you instead.

Shared chats

When you invite someone to a chat, they can read that chat and its document, and write and comment in it, and see nothing else in your account. Legalcomplex staff can open chats where needed to run and support the service, under confidentiality, and for no other purpose. A person you invite can make their own copy of the document in their own account; that copy is theirs and is not shared back. Questions a person asks Monocle in a shared chat are processed like any other question, by the AI processors named above, and are paid for from their own allowance. Do not put material that is legally privileged, or confidential to a third party, in a chat unless you are allowed to share it with the people you invite.

Who receives your data

We use these processors and service providers:

• Mollie B.V. (Netherlands): payments
• Our hosting provider (Netherlands): the server this site runs on, under a data processing agreement
• Google Cloud EMEA: data infrastructure
• Google LLC (USA): optional Drive/Gmail linking, only with your consent
• xAI Corp. (USA): AI chat responses
• OpenRouter, Inc. (USA): passes the words of a question with documents attached to TypeSafe
• TypeSafe AI, Inc. (USA): reads whether that question asks for a review or a new draft
• Groq, Inc. (USA): voice transcription in English
• Mistral AI (France): voice transcription in other languages
• Cal.com, Inc. (USA): meeting booking, if you book a call
• GitHub, Inc. (USA, Microsoft): deployment infrastructure

Pages may embed content from YouTube and LinkedIn; those load from their servers and are covered under Cookies below. We do not sell or rent your data. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers.

International transfers

Your data is primarily stored in the Netherlands (our own server) and the EU. Some of our providers are located in the United States: xAI Corp., Groq Inc., OpenRouter Inc., TypeSafe AI Inc., Google LLC, GitHub Inc., and Cal.com Inc. Where a provider is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, we rely on the European Commission's adequacy decision of 10 July 2023; otherwise we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (art. 46(2)(c) GDPR) concluded in the provider's data processing agreement. You can request a copy of the applicable safeguards via raymond@legalcomplex.com.

Google user data

If you link your Google account, our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We access only the files and drafts needed for the feature you invoke, never use Google user data for advertising, and never transfer it to third parties except as needed to provide the feature you requested.

How long we keep your data

• Account data: for the life of your account and 30 days after deletion
• Chat history and research findings: until you delete them or your account is deleted
• Invoices and payment records: 7 years (Dutch tax law, art. 52 AWR). This is why deleting your account does not delete invoices
• Server access logs: 90 days
• Voice audio: processed transiently for transcription, not retained
• Google Drive/Gmail tokens: until you unlink or your account is deleted

Cookies

We use only functional cookies that are necessary to operate the site (login session and security cookies). We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. Some pages embed third-party content (YouTube videos, LinkedIn posts, Cal.com scheduling). These embeds may set their own cookies when loaded; we use privacy-enhanced modes where the provider offers them. See the providers' own cookie policies for details.

Automated decision-making

We do not use your personal data for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you (art. 22 GDPR). AI features generate research content on your request; they do not evaluate or score you.

Your rights

You can ask us at any time to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you (art. 15 GDPR)
• Correct it (art. 16)
• Delete it (art. 17)
• Restrict processing (art. 18)
• Receive it in a portable format (art. 20)
• Object to processing based on legitimate interest (art. 21)

Where processing is based on consent (such as Google account linking), you can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing. Email raymond@legalcomplex.com; we respond within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.

• If somebody buys Legalcomplex, we will tell you via the website and channels that your information will be transferred to them
