Effective Date: June 2026 | Last Updated: June 2026
PatternProof, operating as PatternProof ("PatternProof," "we," "us," or "our"), is committed to protecting the privacy and safety of our users. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our platform and associated services (collectively, the "Services").
Given the sensitive nature of our platform — designed to support survivors of domestic violence, coercive control, and post-separation abuse — we apply privacy-by-design principles that exceed minimum legal requirements.
By using our Services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
PatternProof is a documentation and pattern analysis platform built for survivors of domestic violence, coercive control, and post-separation abuse, and the attorneys and advocates who support them.
If you connect PatternProof to a third-party service such as Clio (legal practice management software), we may receive information from that service as authorized by you. We only request access to the data necessary for the integration to function.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your documentation content to train AI models.
PatternProof uses AI to analyze documentation and identify patterns. AI processing occurs in real time and is used only to generate outputs for you or your authorized attorney. Your documentation content is not stored by third-party AI providers for training purposes. We use API-based AI services that process data transiently and do not retain it.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
If you choose to share your case file or export materials to an attorney through the platform, that attorney will receive the information you designate. You control what is shared.
If you authorize integration with a third-party legal platform, we will share only the information necessary for that integration to function, as directed by you.
We work with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate the platform, including hosting, database, and AI processing providers. These providers are bound by terms that restrict use of your data to providing services to us. Current sub-processors include:
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users or others. We will notify you of any such request if legally permitted to do so.
We take the security of your data seriously. Measures we have implemented include:
What we do not currently offer: end-to-end (zero-knowledge) encryption where PatternProof staff cannot technically read your data. We will clearly announce this capability if and when we ship it. Until then, please assume authorized PatternProof engineers can technically access account contents in order to operate and support the service.
No system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at gracieburns200@gmail.com.
You may access and update your account information at any time through the platform.
Automated in-app account deletion is not yet available. To request deletion of your account and associated data, email gracieburns200@gmail.com with the subject line "Data Deletion Request." We aim to process requests within a reasonable time and will confirm when the deletion is complete. Until we can offer an automated deletion flow, this manual request process is the only supported method.
You can export your documentation at any time using the platform's built-in export feature. Your data belongs to you.
California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion of their data, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact gracieburns200@gmail.com.
You may opt out of non-essential communications at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any email.
We retain your account and documentation data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. When you email us a deletion request (see "Deletion" above), we will remove your data as promptly as our current manual process allows, except where retention is required by law.
PatternProof is intended for adults aged 18 and older. The platform is a legal documentation tool designed to support adult survivors navigating family court, custody, and domestic violence proceedings. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we learn we have collected information from a minor, we will delete it immediately. If you believe we may have inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, please contact us at gracieburns200@gmail.com.
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and notify active users by email for material changes. Continued use of the Services after any update constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
