Curia Legal Technology Inc. ("Curia," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Curia platform at curia.ca. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

4. Data Processing and Third-Party Services

To deliver our services, your data may be processed by trusted third-party service providers. We carefully select providers with strong security practices and, where possible, Canadian data residency. These providers assist us with functions such as:

• Database hosting and authentication (hosted in Canada)
• Natural language processing to generate research results and analysis
• Document search and retrieval
• Payment processing (we do not store your credit card details directly)
• Application hosting and content delivery

When you submit a research query or upload a document, the content is processed by our service providers to generate results. We do not use your queries or documents to train any models. Your data is processed solely to fulfill your request and is not shared with other users.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your account data and uploaded documents are stored on secure servers hosted in Canada. We implement industry-standard security measures including:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
• Row-level security (RLS) ensuring users can only access their own data
• Secure authentication with hashed passwords
• Regular security reviews and updates

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information and platform data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information and uploaded documents within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes (such as billing records).

7. Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy law, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Withdraw consent for data processing
• Receive a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@curia.ca.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. These cookies are necessary for the platform to function and cannot be disabled.

We use analytics tools (Google Analytics) and advertising measurement pixels (Reddit Ads Pixel) to understand how visitors find and use our website. These tools may set cookies to measure ad performance and page visits. No personal legal research data is shared with these services — only standard web analytics such as page views and referral source. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

9. Children's Privacy

Curia is designed for legal professionals and is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
