Draft for counsel review
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how 2dcite (“we”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use 2dcite.com and related applications. This draft should be reviewed by counsel before public launch.
Information we collect
- Account data: name, email, role (attorney, judge, student, admin), password hash
- Student eligibility materials: law school, year, professor contact, uploaded proof documents
- Job materials: PDF briefs/orders, tables of authorities, titles, instructions, review findings, certificates
- Payment data processed by Stripe (we do not store full card numbers)
- Technical logs: IP, device, audit events for security and ops
How we use information
- Provide citation-review marketplace services
- Verify student eligibility and match jobs
- Process payments, hold funds, and release student shares
- Generate Certificates of Citation Review
- Secure the Platform, prevent fraud, and comply with law
- Communicate about jobs, accounts, and service updates
Sharing
Job documents and findings are shared with the assigned student (and reverse) as needed to perform the review. We use processors such as hosting providers, email delivery, object storage, and Stripe for payments. We do not sell personal information.
Review findings and any certificate are provided only to the submitting party through the platform (and platform administrators as needed to operate the service). Students must not share findings outside the platform.
Students are contractually bound not to disclose review materials or outcomes outside the platform, including that a citation failed or appeared fabricated, except as required by law or with prior written authorization from the submitting attorney or judge. See the Terms of Service.
Confidential materials
2dcite takes no responsibility for confidential, privileged, sealed, or otherwise sensitive documents or information you choose to upload. You are solely responsible for determining what material is appropriate to submit and for complying with court orders, professional obligations, and applicable law.
Submissions may be limited to a table of authorities (or a comparable list of citations) solely to confirm the existence and citation form of authorities. You are not required to upload an entire brief or order if a limited submission is sufficient for the review you request.
By uploading materials, you acknowledge that transmission and storage involve residual risk, and that 2dcite’s security measures do not create liability for unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss of confidential information beyond what applicable law non-waivably requires.
Retention
We retain account, job, payment, certificate, and audit records for as long as needed to operate the service, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. You may request deletion subject to legal holds and legitimate business needs.
Security
We use industry-standard measures including encrypted transport (TLS), access controls, and hashed passwords. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
