How your data is handled
Cedent works from your real email and documents, so how that data is kept matters. This page covers what Cedent does to keep your firm’s information private and under your control. For the specifics of how data is processed, your firm’s privacy policy and terms are the authoritative source; this page describes the behavior you can see in the product.
Your firm’s data is separate
Section titled “Your firm’s data is separate”Each firm’s data is walled off from every other firm’s. You see only your own firm’s matters, documents, people, and history — never another firm’s, and they never see yours. This separation is built into how your data is stored, not just into what you see on screen, so it holds even behind the scenes.
Stored securely
Section titled “Stored securely”Your documents are kept in secure storage, organized per firm. Sensitive credentials — such as the keys that connect your mailbox — are encrypted where they are stored, so they are not readable even to someone looking at the raw data.
Sensitive information is flagged for you
Section titled “Sensitive information is flagged for you”When you review an item before filing it, Cedent watches for common sensitive details — Social Security numbers, financial-account and card numbers, and similar — and flags them so you can redact before the item goes further. The decision to redact is yours; Cedent surfaces the candidates rather than changing your documents on its own.
You stay in control
Section titled “You stay in control”Two principles run through the whole product and are worth restating here:
- Source-grounded — answers and drafts come from your own matter records, and Cedent shows you the source so you can verify. See Where Cedent’s answers come from.
- Approval-gated — nothing is sent or filed without your review. See What Cedent does automatically vs. what waits for you.
Common questions
Section titled “Common questions”Can anyone outside my firm see my matters? No. Each firm’s data is kept separate within the system itself; one firm cannot reach another’s records.
Does Cedent redact sensitive information automatically? No. It flags common sensitive details in items you are reviewing so you can redact them yourself before filing. It does not alter your documents on its own.
Where can I get the full details on data processing? Your firm’s privacy policy and terms of service are the authoritative source for how data is processed and retained.
