Privacy

The short version: your case data is yours, it stays inside your organization, it never trains the shared model, and deleting it actually deletes it.

What we collect

Account information — name, email, and organization details, used to operate your account and communicate with you.

Case data you provide — case captions, districts, case types, filing dates, amounts, procedural posture, and the outcomes you record. This is the data the product exists to analyze; it is stored scoped to your organization only.

Complaint text pasted into the single-case report builder is used to extract case characteristics and is not stored beyond building your report.

Usage data — standard operational logs (requests, errors, timestamps) used to run and secure the service. On the public site we also count anonymous impressions and clicks on page elements (aggregate totals per copy variant, nothing tied to you) to choose better wording.

How it is used

Your case data is used to produce your forecasts, run your portfolio simulations, and score Tertius's accuracy against your own recorded outcomes. That scoring stays inside your organization.

It is not used to train the production model, which is trained exclusively on public federal court records. Recorded outcomes may count toward clearly-labeled future recalibration milestones; if that ever changes what a model is trained on, it will be disclosed on the model's own calibration page before the model ships.

No sale, no sharing

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with other customers — captions, parties, and amounts never cross organization boundaries. We do not use your case list for advertising. Disclosure happens only if the law compels it, and then no more than it compels.

Deletion

Deleting a portfolio is real and immediate: the cases in it and their recorded outcomes are removed at the time of deletion, not flagged for later cleanup.

Retention is configurable at the organization level. On termination of an account, org data is deleted on request.

Public court records

Tertius's forecasts are derived from public federal court records published by the Federal Judicial Center. Those records are public data and are not governed by this policy; nothing in your use of Tertius adds your cases to them.

Contact and changes

Questions about this policy are handled directly — the contact route on every page reaches a person, not a queue. If this policy changes materially, active customers are notified before the change takes effect.
