Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 4, 2026

1. Information We Collect

The iPhone app stores search history, keyword monitors, saved cases, Atticus conversations, settings, and activity statistics locally. Requests to court feeds disclose network information such as your IP address to the source. Content you send to Atticus is processed remotely as described below.

Apple processes App Store purchases; CASER keeps subscription and credit accounting on your device. Google receives Atticus requests and associated app, network, model-use, and integrity information to operate and protect its services. CASER does not include advertising, Firebase Analytics, or Crashlytics in the current iPhone app.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to: (a) provide and maintain the service, (b) process searches and deliver alerts, (c) track PACER savings, (d) improve service performance and features, (e) provide AI-powered research assistance, and (f) ensure security.

3. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored securely on your device using: (a) iOS Keychain for sensitive data, (b) TLS encryption for network requests, (c) local storage with iOS data protection. The local history and settings stay on your device; content included in an Atticus request is also processed by Google.

4. Third-Party Services

Atticus uses Google Gemini through Firebase AI Logic, including app integrity verification and Google Search grounding. Apple processes App Store subscriptions and purchases. Court RSS, PACER, and GovInfo provide source records. These providers apply their own privacy policies to requests they receive.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share data only: (a) with service providers necessary to operate the application, (b) when required by law or legal process, (c) to protect our rights or prevent fraud, or (d) with your explicit consent.

6. AI Assistant (Atticus)

Atticus sends your question, relevant conversation context, and included case information to Google through Firebase AI Logic. This includes the request-size check before an answer is generated. Google may create web search queries from that content to find public sources. The provider processes the content; this is not end-to-end encrypted messaging. Using Atticus is optional.

Google retains prompts, context, and output used for Google Search grounding for 30 days, including for debugging and testing its grounding systems. Other handling follows Google's Gemini API terms. Those terms distinguish paid and unpaid processing; unpaid processing can include product improvement and human review. CASER does not promise zero provider retention or that AI content will never be used to improve Google's services. Do not send confidential, privileged, or sensitive information to Atticus.

Your local chat history is separate from Google's processing. Deleting it does not delete copies retained by Google. See Firebase AI Logic data governance and the Google terms linked above for provider handling and available rights.

7. Notifications

The current iPhone app schedules local notifications after feed scans. It does not register an APNs device token with a CASER monitoring server. iOS controls background execution, so notifications are not guaranteed at a fixed interval. You can disable notifications or lock-screen previews in iOS Settings. Match notifications use a generic message; case titles and matched keywords remain inside CASER.

8. Data Retention

Search history, saved cases, conversations, and settings can be cleared in the app. Protected local files are excluded from device backups. Keychain records, including purchase-credit accounting, may survive an uninstall on the same device but are not portable to a different device. Restore Purchases restores eligible subscriptions; it does not restore spent consumables or provide cloud recovery of local history. Clearing app content does not cancel an Apple subscription or erase its purchase records.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to: (a) access your personal data, (b) correct inaccurate data, (c) request deletion of your data, (d) export your data, (e) opt-out of non-essential communications, and (f) withdraw consent for data processing. Contact rights@caserlegal.com to exercise these rights.

10. Children's Privacy

CASER is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us immediately.

11. California Privacy Rights

California residents have additional rights under CCPA, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of sale (we do not sell personal information).

12. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated when practicable. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
