Is my information confidential?Best practices • Avoid oversharing sensitive details⌄
Treat any AI tool like a drafting/research assistant: share only what's necessary, and avoid sensitive identifiers unless you're using an approved secure workflow.
- Redact SSNs, full DOBs, account numbers, and medical record identifiers when possible
- Use placeholders like [CLIENT], [DEFENDANT]
- Do not share privileged strategy unless you have confirmed your organization's policies
How is pricing or billing handled?General guidance • Depends on your plan/provider⌄
Billing depends on your subscription or service arrangement. If you need an invoice-ready description, you can generate internal time-entry language like "legal research support," "drafting assistance," or "case law analysis," consistent with your firm's guidelines.
