Privacy Policy

Last updated [DATE]

This is a draft. It was written to match how the app actually behaves, but it has not been reviewed by an Australian lawyer. Have it checked before you publish it or submit it to an app store, and fill in every [SQUARE BRACKET].

Clarity Court is an app for keeping track of your own family law matter. This policy explains what it stores, where, and what happens to it.

The operator of the app is [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [ABN], contactable at [CONTACT EMAIL].

What is collected

Your account. An email address and a password, so the app knows the matter is yours. Passwords are stored by our authentication provider as a hash, never as the password itself.
What you put in. Court dates, tasks, notes, contacts, documents, evidence, financial figures, communication and cost records, and a drawn signature if you create one. All of it is entered by you.
Files you upload. Documents, photos and voice memos you choose to attach.

The app does not collect location, contacts from your phone, advertising identifiers, or usage analytics.

What it is used for

Only to provide the app to you: to show you your own matter on your own devices, and to send you the reminders you ask for. It is not used for advertising, not sold, not shared with anyone else, and not used to train any machine learning model.

Where it is stored

Data is held in a [SUPABASE / REGION] database and file store. Records carry the account they belong to, and database rules prevent one account from reading another's. Files are kept in a private store, reachable only through short-lived links generated for you while you are signed in.

Reminders are scheduled on your own device by the operating system. The reminder text does not leave your phone.

Who else can see it

Nobody, other than the infrastructure providers who host it on our behalf:

[SUPABASE] — database, authentication and file storage.
[HOSTING PROVIDER] — the website.
[GOOGLE PLAY / APPLE] — for purchases, if you subscribe. Payment card details go to the store, never to us. We receive only whether a subscription is active.

We will disclose data if required by law — for example a court order or subpoena. If that happens and we are permitted to tell you, we will.

How long it is kept

Until you delete it. Deleting a record removes it. Deleting your account removes the account and the data attached to it, as described on the account deletion page. Backups may hold a copy for up to [NUMBER] days before they age out.

Your choices

See it. Everything the app holds about you is visible in the app, and most of it can be exported as a file.
Correct it. Anything you entered can be edited.
Delete it. Any record, or the whole account.
Complain. Write to [CONTACT EMAIL] first. If you are not satisfied, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner can take a complaint about privacy in Australia.

Children

The app is for adults conducting their own legal matter. It is not directed at children, though a matter will often contain information about them, entered by you.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access is limited to your own account by rules enforced in the database. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your data we will notify you and the Commissioner where the law requires it.

Changes

If this policy changes materially we will say so in the app before the change takes effect.
