Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Legal Exception is a product of Foculoom LLC, a California limited liability company. You can reach us via our support page.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

The Legal Exception iOS app is designed to operate without collecting personal information. Specifically:

• Your legal research queries are processed on-device using Apple's on-device machine learning frameworks and are never transmitted to any Foculoom server.
• We do not use third-party analytics SDKs, crash reporters, or advertising networks in the app.
• We do not build user profiles or track your behavior across apps or websites.

3. Information We May Process

The following limited data is processed, solely for the stated purposes:

• iCloud CloudKit (citation bookmarks and usage counter): If you use iCloud, Apple's CloudKit may store your saved citations and a daily usage counter in your private iCloud container. This data is governed by Apple's iCloud Privacy Policy. Foculoom cannot access your private CloudKit container.
• StoreKit (subscription purchases): Apple processes subscription purchases. Foculoom receives only anonymized transaction confirmations from Apple. We do not receive your payment card details or full Apple ID.
• App Store Connect feedback: If you submit feedback through TestFlight or the App Store, Apple shares that feedback with us as described in Apple's policies.
• Support form: If you contact us via our support page, we receive the content of your message. We use that information only to respond to your inquiry.
• Website analytics: This website (legalexception.com) does not use JavaScript-based analytics. Standard web server access logs (IP address, browser user-agent, requested URL) may be retained by our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) in accordance with their data retention policies.

4. Children's Privacy

Legal Exception is intended for attorneys, compliance professionals, and sophisticated legal researchers. It is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in jurisdictions with higher age minimums). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

5. Data Retention

Because we do not collect personal information through the app itself, there is no personal data retained on our servers from app use. Support messages are retained only as long as necessary to resolve the inquiry and comply with applicable law.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including California under CCPA and the EU/EEA under GDPR), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. To exercise any such right, contact us via our support page. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

7. Third-Party Services

The Legal Exception website uses Tally.so embedded forms for the waitlist and support contact. Tally.so collects information you submit through the form in accordance with their privacy policy. We receive the information you submit (such as your email address) solely to send you updates about Legal Exception or to respond to your support request.

8. Security

We implement reasonable security measures appropriate to the limited personal data we handle. Because research queries remain on your device and are never transmitted to us, the primary privacy protection is architectural: there is no server-side data to breach.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted in the app release notes or on this website.
