Privacy Policy for Lexcuration

Last Updated: May 09, 2026

1. Professional Standard of Care

Lexcuration is a legal practice. Unlike standard technology services, our handling of information is governed not only by data privacy laws (like the CCPA/GDPR) but also by the Ethical Rules of the “(enter city name)” Bar Association and the principle of Attorney-Client Privilege.

This policy describes how we handle “Personal Data” (general information) and acknowledges our higher duty toward “Client Matter Data” (privileged information).

2. The Data We Collect (and Why)

We don’t collect data to sell it; we collect it to win cases and stay compliant.

  • Identity & Communication Data: Names, email, and phone numbers. We use this to perform Conflict Checks (ensuring we don't have a conflict of interest before representing you).
  • Case-Specific Data: Information provided during consultations or representation. This may include sensitive records (financial, medical, or corporate).
  • Usage Data: Standard IP addresses and browser types. We use this strictly for security and to ensure our digital portal is functioning.

3. Attorney-Client Privilege & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Standard “Business Transfer” clauses in generic policies often suggest your data is an asset to be sold. At Lexcuration, your data is a professional confidence. We only disclose information in these high-stakes scenarios:

  • Legal Necessity: To comply with a court order, subpoena, or discovery request (after we have exhausted all reasonable legal efforts to protect privileged info).
  • Operational Experts: We may share data with co-counsel, expert witnesses, or court reporters specifically retained for your matter.
  • Security & Vetting: We use FreshDesk for support, but we ensure all third-party tools meet high-encryption standards suitable for legal work.

4. Retention: The "Bar Rule" Standard

We don’t keep data forever, but we don’t delete it immediately either. Our retention is dictated by the Statute of Limitations and Legal Ethics Rules:

  • Administrative Data: 24 months (Support tickets, logs).
  • Client Files: Generally retained for 7 years after the conclusion of a matter (unless a different period is required by Alaska law or agreed upon in your Engagement Letter).
  • Anonymization: Once the retention period ends, files are either securely shredded/purged or fully anonymized.

5. Security: Beyond "Reasonable"

We recognize that law firms are high-value targets for data breaches. We employ:

  • Encryption-at-Rest and In-Transit: All digital communications through our Service are encrypted.
  • Access Control: Data is restricted on a "need-to-know" basis. Only staff assigned to your matter have access to your sensitive files.
  • No "Absolute" Guarantee: As required by law, we note that no internet transmission is 100% secure, but we prioritize top-tier legal tech stacks over budget alternatives.

6. Your Rights & Control

You have the right to:
  • Access/Correct: View or fix your data at any time via your Account.
  • Delete: Request deletion (subject to our legal obligation to maintain records for malpractice protection).
  • Opt-Out: Stop receiving firm newsletters or marketing updates immediately via the "Unsubscribe" link.
