Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Undertaking

A binding undertaking on how we hold, protect, and refrain from disclosing the matters and documents you entrust to Judge 9-11. It applies automatically when you accept our Terms of Service.

1. Purpose

Judge 9-11 exists to document and organize litigation. The information you place on the platform — facts, strategy, parties, and especially documents — is among the most sensitive data a person or professional can hold. This undertaking sets out the binding commitments that govern its confidentiality.

2. What is confidential

"Confidential Information" means all non-public information you, your collaborators, or your authorized automation submit to or generate on the platform, including matter details, party information, evidence and uploaded documents, chronologies, notes, drafts, communications, and the existence and contents of your matters. It does not include information that is or becomes public through no fault of ours, or that we already lawfully held without a duty of confidence.

3. Our undertakings

  • We will keep your Confidential Information confidential and will not disclose it to third parties except as set out here.
  • We will use it only to provide and improve the service to you — never to train AI models and never sold or rented to anyone.
  • We will restrict access on a need-to-know basis, using role-based and row-level access controls, and require confidentiality from personnel and service providers.
  • We will protect it with encryption in transit and at rest and with measures proportionate to the sensitivity of litigation data.
  • We will not access the contents of your matters except as necessary to operate the service, resolve a technical issue, comply with law, or at your request.

4. Solicitor-client privilege & professional secrecy

We recognize that documents stored by lawyers, notaries, and their clients may be protected by solicitor-client privilege and professional secrecy. We design our systems to preserve that protection: we act as a custodian, not a recipient of a waiver. Storing privileged material on Judge 9-11 is not intended to, and does not, waive any privilege or secrecy. For professional accounts, we will enter into a supplementary data-protection agreement reflecting these obligations.

5. Service providers

Where our vetted service providers (such as our American-region database, hosting, and payment processors) process Confidential Information to operate the platform, they are bound by contract to equivalent confidentiality and security obligations and may use the information only to provide their service to us.

6. Compelled disclosure

If we are legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information (e.g. by a valid court order or subpoena), we will, where lawfully permitted, give you prompt notice so you can seek a protective order or contest the demand, and we will disclose only what is legally required.

7. Your undertakings

When you invite collaborators or share access, you are responsible for ensuring they respect the confidentiality of the matter. Do not upload information you are not authorized to share, and keep your credentials and ingestion tokens secret.

8. Term, return & deletion

These obligations apply for as long as we hold your Confidential Information and survive the end of your use of the platform. On account closure (deboarding), you may export your content; we then delete or irreversibly anonymize it within a reasonable period, subject to legal retention requirements. You can delete individual matters and documents at any time.

9. No waiver; relationship to other terms

This undertaking supplements, and is incorporated into, our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Nothing in it constitutes legal advice or creates a solicitor-client relationship. In case of conflict, the more protective provision for your Confidential Information prevails.

10. Governing law

This undertaking is governed by the laws of the Province of your state and the federal laws of the United States applicable therein. Pursuant to Loi 96, the English version prevails in case of discrepancy.
