Privacy policy

Fairspoken is an AI judge for everyday disagreements. This policy explains what we collect when you use it, why, who helps us run it, and what you can ask of us. “We” means the operator of Fairspoken, who you can reach at dmitry.tarasov4@gmail.com.

What we collect

Your account: Your email address, name and profile picture. If you set a PIN or password, we store only a one-way hash of it.
Sign-in and security: The one-time codes (valid for 10 minutes) and links (valid for 24 hours) we email you, the browsers you’ve trusted (a hashed token, which browser and operating system it is, and when it was last used), and failed sign-in attempts, so we can stop people guessing.
Your hearings: The case title, description and what’s at stake; who is invited, including invitees’ email addresses; the statements you type; transcripts of what you say in voice hearings; the evidence you describe; and the judge’s questions, rulings, votes, appeals, likes and badges.
Voice and video: In a voice hearing, your microphone (and your camera, if you turn it on) is streamed live to the other participants and the judge. Speech is turned into text, which we keep. We don’t make or keep recordings of the audio or video.
Dictation: The microphone buttons in text fields (on the case form, in hearings and in Ask the judge) use your browser’s own speech recognition. Your browser may send the audio to its maker to turn it into text (Google in Chrome, Apple in Safari). We only receive the text that ends up in the field, when you submit or send it.
Ask the judge: What you type is sent to Anthropic to write the answer. We don’t save these conversations.
From other people: If someone invites you to a case, they give us your email address, and we use it to send you the invitation.
Technical logs: Our hosting provider records technical details such as IP addresses and requests, to run and protect the service. These logs are kept for a short time.

Cookies

We only use what the site needs to work:

a session cookie that keeps you signed in;
cookies our sign-in system uses to protect forms against forgery and to remember where to send you after signing in;
a trusted-browser cookie, set after you confirm an emailed code or link, so this browser can unlock your account with your PIN or password;
your interface language, if you pick one in the language menu, kept for a year (otherwise we follow the language your browser asks for);
your Day or Chamber theme choice, saved in your browser.

We don’t use advertising or analytics cookies, and we don’t track you on other sites.

How we use it

to create your account, sign you in and keep your account secure;
to run hearings: show statements and evidence to the other parties, have the AI judge analyse them, and produce rulings;
to send the emails the service needs: sign-in and confirmation codes and links, and invitations to hearings;
to prevent abuse, enforce our terms and fix problems.

We don’t sell your data, use it for advertising, or use it to train AI models. Where data protection law such as the GDPR applies, we rely on two legal bases: providing the service you signed up for (your account, your hearings and the emails they need), and our legitimate interest in keeping Fairspoken secure and free of abuse.

The AI judge

Hearings are run by an AI. The case details, statements, transcripts and evidence are sent to Anthropic’s Claude models, which analyse the arguments, ask questions and write rulings. When you open a case, its topic is also sent to Claude to restate it in neutral terms.

Rulings are produced automatically and can be wrong. They have no legal effect on you: you can disagree, appeal, or simply not follow them.

Who can see your hearings

Private hearings: the parties invited to the case, and the judge.
Public hearings: listed under Public hearings, where anyone, signed in or not, can see the case as filed (title, description and stakes) and the names and pictures of the parties who have accepted it. Only people who are signed in can watch live.

Other people can find you by name, or by your full email address, when they invite people to a case. They see your name and picture, not your email address.

Who helps us run Fairspoken

We share data only with these providers, which process it on our behalf:

Vercel: Hosts the website and app. Every request passes through it.
Neon: Hosts our database: your account and your hearings.
Anthropic: Runs the AI judge (Claude). Receives hearing content, case topics and Ask the judge questions.
LiveKit: Carries live audio, video and messages between everyone in a hearing.
Deepgram: Turns speech in voice hearings into text.
Resend: Sends our emails. Receives your email address and the message.
Cloudflare: Stores profile pictures you upload.
Google: Gives the judge its voice (Cloud Text-to-Speech) and receives the judge’s words to speak them aloud. Also signs you in, if you choose Continue with Google.

We may also disclose data when the law requires it, or to protect someone’s safety. Most of these providers are based in the United States. When your data leaves the EU, the EEA or the UK, we rely on the safeguards in their data protection terms, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

Google user data

If you choose Continue with Google, we ask Google only for your basic profile: your name, email address, profile picture, and whether Google has verified your email address. We use it to create your account, sign you in, and show your name and picture to the people in your hearings. We store it with the rest of your account and share it only with the providers above, to run the service.

We don’t ask for access to your Gmail, Drive, Calendar, contacts or any other Google data. Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

How long we keep it

Your account and your hearings: for as long as your account exists.
Sign-in codes and links: they stop working after 10 minutes and 24 hours respectively.
Trusted browsers: they stop working after 90 days without use.
Technical logs: a short period set by our hosting provider.

When you ask us to delete your account, we delete your account details within 30 days. Hearings you took part in also belong to the other parties, so we keep them for them, with your name, email address and picture removed.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, give you a copy in a portable format, correct it, delete it, or restrict or object to how we use it. Write to dmitry.tarasov4@gmail.com from the email address on your account, and we’ll reply within one month. If you’re in the EU, the EEA or the UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.

Minimum age

Fairspoken is for people aged 16 and over. If you believe someone younger has an account, tell us and we’ll delete it.

Security

Connections are encrypted, PINs and passwords are stored only as one-way hashes, repeated wrong guesses lock sign-in, and only the parties to a case can open a private hearing. No system is perfectly secure: if a breach affects your data, we’ll tell you as the law requires.

Changes to this policy

We’ll post any changes here and update the date at the top. If a change matters to you, we’ll also tell you by email or in the app before it applies. See also our Terms of service.
