Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

Pledr ("we," "us," "our"), a product of Pledr AI Research (OPC) Private Limited (the "Company"), provides Legal MCP, a search tool that connects AI assistants to Supreme Court of India judgments. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

• Account information. When you sign in via Google or with your email and password, our authentication provider, WorkOS, shares your name and email address with us so we can identify your account.
• Search queries and usage. We log the searches you run — including the query text, timestamp, and result count — so we can operate the service, enforce usage limits, and investigate issues.
• Which AI app you use. We record the name and version of the AI app that connects to Pledr (for example Claude or ChatGPT) and a simple type for each search (citation, statute or scenario), so we can fix compatibility problems and see what the service is used for. We do not train AI models on your queries.
• Website clicks. On pledr.in we count which buttons are clicked (for example “Add to Claude”) and how many people visit, so we can improve the site. We use no cookies and do not store IP addresses. A daily-changing code lets us count unique visitors per day, but nobody can be followed from one day to the next. Nothing is recorded if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control. These counts are kept for 13 months.
• Where you practise (optional). If you choose to fill in the form at pledr.in/welcome, we store your state, city, main court and role together with your email, only to understand where Pledr is used. You can ask us to delete it any time at support@pledr.in.
• Early-access list. If you join the early-access list on our website, we store your email address, the releases you are interested in, your role (for example advocate or clerk), the courts you file in, the time and the page you signed up from. We use it only to confirm your email and to tell you about those releases. We keep it for up to 24 months after your last interaction, and you can unsubscribe at any time from any email we send or by writing to support@pledr.in, and we will delete it on request.
• What not to enter. Please do not put confidential client details or personal identifiers (names, addresses, ID numbers) in your searches. Describe the legal issue instead. Pledr does not need them to find case law.
• We do not collect payment information during early access, since the service is currently free.

2. How we use your information

• To operate and provide the search service you request
• To authenticate you and maintain your account
• To enforce fair-use limits (e.g. daily search quotas) and prevent abuse
• To diagnose technical issues and improve retrieval quality
• To communicate with you about your account or the service, using the email address you signed in with

3. Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with the following service providers, solely to operate Pledr:

• WorkOS — authentication (Google sign-in, email and password)
• DeepInfra — processes your search query text to generate embeddings and rank results; query text is sent to DeepInfra's API for this purpose
• Google Cloud Platform — hosts our servers and database
• Resend — sends the confirmation and release emails for the early-access list
• Cloudflare — provides our domain, network security, and traffic routing, and stores the early-access list

Each of these providers processes data under their own privacy terms; we only send them what's necessary to provide the service.

4. Judgment data

The Supreme Court judgments, citations, and case metadata Pledr returns are public-domain government records, sourced from the Supreme Court of India's own official systems. They are not personal information about you.

5. AI-generated content

Search results include AI-generated summaries (issue/held/ratio) of judgments. These summaries are provided as a research aid only, may contain inaccuracies, and must always be verified against the source judgment before being relied upon in any legal work. Pledr does not provide legal advice.

6. Data retention

We retain account and usage data for as long as your account is active, or as needed to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time (see Section 8).

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), authenticated access to the search service, and network-level access controls on our infrastructure. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your rights and choices

Under applicable Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you have the right to:

• obtain a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how it is used;
• ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data;
• ask us to erase your personal data and your account, unless we need to keep it to meet a legal obligation;
• withdraw your consent to our processing of your personal data, which may mean you can no longer use the service;
• nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf if you are unable to; and
• raise a grievance with us.

To exercise any of these rights or to raise a grievance, write to support@pledr.in. We aim to acknowledge your request promptly and to resolve it within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India once it is operational.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version here with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of Pledr after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
