Leximate (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU 2016/679).

1. How We Handle Your Data

When using Leximate, you may upload documents or enter legal details to receive AI-powered summaries and guidance.

We want to be immediately clear:

✅ Your uploaded documents and written inputs are temporarily processed by AI but are not stored, saved, or retained by us.

  • We do not store the documents you upload.
  • We do not save the legal information you input.
  • We do not use any user content to train AI models or for analytics.
  • We do not share user-uploaded content with third parties.

Your documents are used solely to generate your legal summary in real-time, after which the data is immediately discarded.

2. What Personal Data We May Collect (if you opt in)

We may collect limited personal data only when you voluntarily provide it:

  • Email address – if you choose to receive your results via email.
  • Usage data – such as your IP address, browser type, and basic interaction data.

This data is used to operate and improve the Platform and, where applicable, to communicate with you.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR Article 6)

We process your data under the following legal bases:

  • Consent (Art. 6.1.a): When you opt to provide your email or use our AI tool voluntarily.
  • Legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f): To ensure platform functionality, security, and service improvement.

You can withdraw your consent at any time.

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccuracies
  • Request deletion (“Right to be forgotten”)
  • Restrict processing
  • Object to data use
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with a Data Protection Authority (DPA)

5. Data Transfers

We primarily operate in South Africa. If personal data is transferred to a country outside the EU/EEA, we ensure adequate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies for basic functionality and to understand anonymous usage trends. You may adjust your cookie settings in your browser. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

7. Data Retention

  • Uploaded documents and user inputs: Not retained
