How We Use Artificial Intelligence

We use advanced technologies to deliver BriefCatch, including artificial intelligence and related technologies. Our use of AI always complies with three key promises:

  • You are in control. BriefCatch is configured so that you (and your organization) control whether Generative AI technologies are deployed as you use BriefCatch.
  • Your documents are never retained. Your documents are never stored during or after processing, eliminating any risk of disclosure. No one at BriefCatch can ever see your work product.
  • Your documents are never used for AI training. If you opt into use of Gen AI features, we do not use any of your material to improve our models.

More specifically, here’s how each of our products use AI technology and how your data is protected.

BriefCatch

BriefCatch is an AI-powered software system that is designed to help legal professionals improve their writing skills and create more persuasive and effective documents. The system works by analyzing written documents and providing users with real-time feedback on elements such as sentence length, readability, and word choice. The software analyzes documents for tone, readability, and grammar.

BriefCatch currently includes four distinct offerings in its product lineup—BriefCatch Standalone, BriefCatch 3, BriefCatch 4, BriefCatch Express and BriefCatch for Outlook. BriefCatch is also available in a Preview application, which includes new features and improvements prior to general release. All policies applicable to BriefCatch products also apply to the BriefCatch Preview channel.

What technology is being used?

All BriefCatch offerings leverage sophisticated,  AI-driven algorithms to propose writing enhancements and evaluations via a unique, proprietary rules engine. No Generative AI services are used in BriefCatch 3, BriefCatch Express, BriefCatch for Outlook or BriefCatch Standalone. 

How is my data secured?

All connections to and from all BriefCatch products are encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not collect, log, or retain the text from your documents.  No one can use, view, or reconstruct any of your document text at any point in processing.

How long is my data retained?

Neither your documents nor their contents are ever retained. Retention of your personal information (like the name and email address you use to access the platform) are retained subject to our company Privacy Policy. Read our full Privacy Policy here: https://briefcatch.com/privacy-policy/.

BriefCatch 4

BriefCatch 4 is the latest generation of BriefCatch, and includes BriefChat, a conversational assistant delivering immediate insight and advice on legal-writing topics based on the work of our founder, Ross Guberman. BriefChat leverages Generative AI, subject to the following protections:

  • Enterprise controls. Enterprise customers must expressly activate BriefChat before any AI features are enabled.
  • No document access. BriefChat does not have access to any document being edited with BriefCatch. BriefChat provides answers based only on your prompts.
  • No retention. We do not retain any of your prompts or BriefChat’s responses, and they cannot be viewed by anyone at BriefCatch.
  • No training. None of our prompts nor BriefChat’s responses is used for training any AI model.

What technology is being used?

BriefChat harnesses the cutting-edge capabilities of OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 and secure API, optimized through sophisticated embedding techniques to cater specifically to the legal sector. 

How is my data secured?

All prompts and responses to and from BriefChat (and subsequently to and from OpenAI) are encrypted in transit and at rest.

How long is my data retained?

Materials uploaded to BriefChat are subject to two separate, but aligned, retention periods.

By OpenAI

OpenAI retains all data uploaded to its servers (via the ClientCatch API connection) for a period of 30 days to monitor for abuse. You can read more about OpenAI’s practices and policies, which are subject to change, at https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy.

Uploaded materials are retained by LawCatch for the same period they are retained by OpenAI so that we may provide necessary cooperation with OpenAI if abuse is identified. At the end of this thirty day period, all uploaded materials are deleted from our servers
