Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 16, 2026

CustodyCase.ai ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with our desktop application ("Software").

1. Our Core Privacy Principle

CustodyCase.ai does not collect, transmit, store, or have access to your personal data, documents, or case information. The Software is designed to operate entirely on your local computer. All document processing, AI analysis, and data storage happens on your machine and never leaves it.

2. What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, access, or process:

  • Your documents, files, images, or any content you upload to the Software
  • Your case information, court records, or legal documents
  • AI-generated analysis, outlines, timelines, or violation reports
  • Your passphrase or encryption keys
  • Your name, email, phone number, or other personal identifiers (within the Software)
  • Usage data, analytics, telemetry, or crash reports
  • IP addresses, device fingerprints, or browser information (within the Software)

3. How Your Data Is Stored

Data TypeStorage LocationEncryption
Uploaded documentsLocal SQLite database on your computerAES-256-GCM encryption
Extracted textLocal SQLite databaseAES-256-GCM encryption
AI analysis resultsLocal SQLite databaseAES-256-GCM encryption
PassphraseDerived key held in memory onlyscrypt key derivation
Application configLocal JSON file (no sensitive data)Not encrypted (non-sensitive)
License keyLocal config fileNot encrypted (non-sensitive)

Your passphrase is never stored in plaintext. It is used to derive an encryption key via scrypt, which is held in application memory only during your session and discarded when the application is locked or closed.

4. Network Activity

The Software makes the following network connections:

  • Ollama (localhost:11434 only) — AI processing requests are sent to Ollama running locally on your machine. These requests never leave your computer.
  • Lemon Squeezy (api.lemonsqueezy.com) — License activation and periodic revalidation (every 30 days). Only your license key and a machine identifier (a hash, not personally identifiable) are sent. No documents or case data are transmitted.

The Software blocks all other network requests via Content Security Policy. No data is sent to our servers, third-party analytics, or any other external service.

5. Third-Party Services

Ollama: The Software requires Ollama for AI processing. Ollama runs locally on your machine. We recommend reviewing Ollama's privacy practices at ollama.com.

Lemon Squeezy (payment processing): If you purchase a license, your payment is processed by Lemon Squeezy. We receive only your license key status — we do not receive or store your payment card details, billing address, or other financial information. Lemon Squeezy's privacy policy governs their handling of your payment data.

Website: Our marketing website (custodycaseai.com) may use standard web analytics. This is separate from the desktop application, which has no analytics or tracking whatsoever.

6. Data You Control

Because all data is stored locally on your computer, you have complete control:

  • Access: Your data is accessible only through the Software with your passphrase
  • Export: You can export all data via Settings at any time
  • Delete: You can delete all data via Settings, or by deleting the application's data directory
  • New Case: You can clear all case data and start fresh via Settings

7. Children's Privacy

The Software is not intended for use by individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children. The Software is designed for adult parents or legal guardians managing custody documentation.

8. Data Breach

Because we do not collect or store your data on our servers, a breach of our systems would not expose your documents or case information. Your data's security depends on the security of your local computer and the strength of your passphrase.

9. California Residents (CCPA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act: We do not sell personal information. We do not collect personal information through the Software. There is no personal information to disclose, delete, or opt out of, because we don't have it.

10. European Residents (GDPR)

CustodyCase.ai does not process personal data as defined by the GDPR. All data processing occurs locally on your device. We are not a data controller or processor with respect to your case data. No personal data is transferred internationally.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on our website with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Software after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
